Tears leaked from your eyes, your heart pounding as Cedric fucked into you, showing you no mercy whatsoever. After two orgasms, you were beginning to get overly sensitive, your hands clawing at the sheets. You tried to clench your eyes shut and push through so that Cedric could get his release, but you couldn't hold on anymore. He was being too rough.
"H-Hufflepuff!" you sobbed the safe word the two of you had decided on months ago, the same word you never thought you'd actually have to use.
Cedric pulled out of you as soon as the word echoed in his ears, his heart skipping a beat as your figure slumped down onto the mattress beneath you, your chest heaving and tears leaking down your face. He was frowning in concern immediately, hesitant to reach out and touch you.
"Y/N?" He said your name gently, "Princess, are you okay? What happened?"
"I-I'm sorry" you whimpered, wiping your tears away with shaky hands. "It was just too much tonight."
"O-Okay" Cedric nodded, feeling awful for not noticing your discomfort before. "Can I touch you, princess?"
You nodded, sniffling as Cedric sighed in relief and gently scooped your naked body into his arms. Your head rested against his chest, hot from the workout, and his slender fingers brushed your hair out of your face and smoothed up and down your skin. He reached down, pressing a kiss to your forehead.
"Let me run you a bath, yeah?" his voice was more gentle than you had ever heard before.
"Okay" you croaked in agreement "I'm sorry, Cedric...I tried--"
"No" Cedric cut you off "No, I don't want you to 'try' for me, okay? If you're not feeling it, if you're uncomfortable, I need you to tell me straight away, okay? You're more important than a fucking orgasm, okay?"
You pursed your lips and nodded, a small smile gracing your features. He smiled at your expression, his thumb tracing your cheekbone.
"You want those lavender bath melts you like in there?" He asked softly, heading to his bedside table and unscrewing a bottle of water, handing it to you. "And maybe I could play that music by that band you like?"
"You hate them" you reminded him.
"They're growing on me" Cedric smiled, taking that as a yes as he began to prepare a more relaxed night in for the two of you.
