No bright sunlight cast upon the walls to mark the passing of the hours.
Room looked the same at noon as it did at midnight.
When Hermione opened her eyes, there was no telling how long she'd been dozing.
The fire seemed dimmer, perhaps only a couple of hours.
She found herself on her side, head resting half on his shoulder and half on his chest, her ear pressed to his heart.
The calm steady shush of his pumping blood lulled her back to the edge of sleep.
Once there, she fell into a vivid dream she believed to be real.
Lucifer felt her hand twitch against his nipple and forced open one eyelid.
Her body was curled against his, and she was making soft noises of despair into his left pectoral.
"Hermione," he whispered low.
She remained unaware of his voice; her fingers tightened to claws around his nipple as her whimpering intensified.
"Wake up, Hermione," he said louder.
Sitting up in a sudden state of alertness, her eyes darted around the room, searching for something that wasn't there.
Her nervous gaze settled on his face, and she ran her fingers along his cheek as if making sure he was real.
"Are you all right?" she asked, glancing around the room once more.
"Yes. What are you looking for?"
Her brow drew tight with worry. "I dreamt you were attacked. I thought it was real." Her hands ran down his chest, searching for wounds.
"I'm fine, love. Just a dream." Lucifer covered her hand with his to still her.
"Death Eaters broke into your room. Malfoy's father stood right there and cursed you," she whispered, staring at the floor before the fire.
"Blood was pouring out of your chest. I couldn't stop it."
Pulling her down against his uninjured chest, Lucifer smiled in the darkness and stroked her back. "I can't die, remember? It was just a dream. No one is here but us."
Turning her lips to his pale chest, Hermione kissed his left nipple then drew her mouth across to the center and kissed her way up to his neck.
"Tell me you're okay again," she whispered.
His mouth curved up, and he kissed her forehead. "I'm still here. You can't get rid of me that easily."
"Bite your tongue," she chided, pecking his jaw.
"I'll leave that to you," he said with a smirk.
Grinning, she kissed his lips softly but pulled away, worried about her breath.
His hand clamped behind her head and pressed her back in place, his tongue greeting her return.
She sucked at his offering and nipped it once as requested.
Lucifer growled, and the sound rumbled against her chest.
"Well, I'm awake now," he said accusingly. "I hope you have something planned to entertain me at this ungodly hour."
His put-upon act didn't fool her.
He wanted her as much as she wanted him. Her hand slid down his torso, disappearing beneath the covers.
Finding his cock hardening for her, she smirked. "Seems you already have something in mind, sir. Care to share?"
Grazing her breast, he raised one empirical eyebrow. "What did you think would happen kissing me like that, running your hands all over me as if you were feeling me out for a test ride?"
She laughed.
The sound still struck him as odd.
"I was!" she shot back. "You're even better than a Firebolt."
"And don't you forget it," he murmured as he rolled on top of her.
Lucifer dislodged her curious hand then slid down to her breast and closed his mouth around her tightening tip.
Hermione groaned at the suction and ran her fingers through his hair—she didn't even notice it anymore.
One of his hands strayed down to her pubic hair to tease her slit.
He pulled away from her breast and inspected his fingers. "You're bleeding, love."
Her hands immediately went to her breasts, searching for her own dream wound.
He chuckled at her perplexed expression. "No, pet, bleeding in a way nature intended." He lifted his fingers to illustrate his point.
Leaving her breasts forgotten, her hands covered her mouth in surprise.
"Oh." 'Bollocks. How embarrassing (and unexpected).' "It's a couple days early. I'm sorry."
Snickering, Lucifer located his wand and cleaned his hand.
He was wondering when they were going to have to deal with this particular issue. "Why are you apologizing?"
"I've ruined the mood. And your sheets probably look like a battle ground by now."
"You haven't ruined the mood. You've just added another ingredient to the mix. And I have had extensive experience removing blood from various materials. The sheets will be fine."
"....You're really not grossed out by this?"
His arched eyebrow suggested she was being ridiculous. "Not particularly. I'm not twelve, you know. Are you 'grossed out' by it?"
Thinking for a minute, Hermione finally answered, "It's not anything I look forward to, but no, I don't think it's disgusting. I did when I was younger . . . but not so much anymore."
"Are you in any pain?"
"No." 'How sweet. And weird. I can't believe I'm having this conversation.'
"Do you want to continue?"
"Continue what?"
He looked at her as if she were dense. "Fucking," he said slowly, sounding the word out for her.
"My pussy?"
Snickering softly, Lucifer pinched his temples. "Whatever you're comfortable with."
"That'd be really messy."
"Cleaning a little blood from the sheets is the same as cleaning a lot of blood from the sheets," he reasoned.
Hermione grimaced. "It'll be all over you, Lucifer."
"I'm washable."
"I'd rather you fuck my arse."
He grinned. "Very well. How long am I barred from your pussy?
She bit her lip. "It lasts five days but the last three are pretty light—mostly just spotting. So I guess two days if that doesn't bother you."
He pulled back the covers. "Okay, let's get you cleaned up. Go ahead to the bathroom. I'll get the bed."
Hermione rolled out and made her way to the loo.
Looking back, she saw only a small dark spot.
He was running his wand over the blood, murmuring something, and she watched it disappear.
Lucifer climbed out his side of the bed and guided her into the bathroom.
