(I think this is my favorite chapter I've ever written, I hope you guys enjoy <3)
They pushed in the front door and heard the loud cackling laughter from yesterday night.
Delia.
Lenora shot Tom a look.
"Really?" She griped, "didn't get enough last night?! You had to torture us all"
Tom stood in the door with her not wanting to go in.
"I did not invite her" he lamented, Lenora looked at his face; he looked absolutely sick.
She knew his dilema, he had to let her down very easy. Her father worked at the ministry with Mulciber Sr and soon with Tom.
Lenora laughed at him, "looks like you're off the market Tom. Or should I call you Mr.Parkinson?" He shook his head.
"Let her down easy for me?" Tom tried to make his way towards the stairs.
"Not a chance-" she started
"NORA! TOM!" They both turned to the entrance.
Tom gave a fake smile to Delia who appeared wildly grinning.
"We were waiting for you!"
Tom walked forward and took her hand kissing it, "what do I owe the pleasure?"
Delia patted his head as he kissed her hand making him scowl.
"Oh Tommy, I'm sorry I'm not here for you" she breezed past him.
"I'm here to thank my savior" she enclosed around Nora who scrunched her nose and looked at Tom.
Not a chance he mouthed.
"How dear of you!" He said, "I better be heading off then".
"Join us won't you?" She hadn't let go of Nora who tried to lean away.
"I told Daddy I'd see you..."
Tom reluctantly followed them as Delia walked into a dining room. Lilith, Nott, Black and Abraxas sat looking vexed being held captive. A bottle sat unopened in the middle of the table.
"Red currant rum" Delia announced, "a very expensive bottle too Nora" and sat down next to her and Lenora widened her eyes at Lilith and sat next to her. Delia quickly went to her side.
"I'll have an elf bring juice and snacks". Tom sat down across from them.
"GRISKEY" Delia screeched and the Parkinson elf popped in the air next to them. Tom winced at her volume.
"Snacks." She didn't even look at the elf, "and juice. Something sweet for Ms. Rosier"
Abraxas made a face at Lenora, making her suppress a smile. She wondered where Avery was, maybe he could help distract her.
"This is so kind of you Delia" she said accepting her fate. The elf popped back next to the table putting a bottle of juice and a basket of sweets and savories.
"I am deeply in your debt" Delia said pouring her a glass of rum and juice, "when you protected Tommy and I".
Lenora saw Black crack a grin looking down at his lap. Relief flooded her, it was the first time she had seen him relax a bit since the duel.
"Happy to" she said and looked at the basket, "what did you bring?" Her voice softened a little her mood warmed by Blacks smile.
Everyone sat drinking, the conversation was jovial. Strumpet or not, Delia is fun Nora thought as Delia refilled her glass again. This time she held the glass on her lap as she did.
She must be drunk Nora thought but reached over to take a bite of a small cake.
Lilith was telling Theo and Tom about their shopping trip, Tom looked bored out of his mind nodding politely.
Lenora took a couple of sips, smiling at her friends. The black dress she had chosen to go shopping in, had small cloth buttons that latched in the front. She smoothed out the skirt feeling a little messy. Her hair was tangled from the walk in the woods.
The room felt unbearable balmy all of a sudden. She looked up and closed her eyes, fanning herself softly. When she rolled her head back to the front she saw that Black was looking at her.
His voice was garbled, "are you quite alright". It sounded far away.
She really couldn't answer, it was too far hot to think properly. Nora pulled her hair off of her neck, using a ribbon from her pocket to pull it up.
She tried to turn her attention to another conversation that Abraxas and Tom had started. God, Tom looked so handsome just sitting there. Her lips parted as she watched his mouth move. A small tingle in her lower stomach tickled and she rolled her hips in her chair trying to get comfortable.
The room was now sweltering. The hand had been playing with the ribbon in her hair now traced down her neck . Unwittingly, she caressed her collarbone, fingers constantly moving. Her skin tingled, she sighed; her own touch felt amazing.
Tom's eyes flicked to her movement and gave her a strange look before returning to his conversation.
Nora shifted in her seat again, the growing buzz had traveled and sat in between her thighs. As she moved her most sensitive spot seemed to radiate a touch of pleasure.
A soft hum of approval erupted from her lips.
Her mind went to Cygnus pulling up her dress strap.
Then Tom holding her at the dance, close so close.
Even him thrusting above Delia, his shirtless body at the door smirking down at Nora.
She sighed loudly, it was so damn hot. She could barely speak, her fingers traveled to her buttons and she undid the top one. Then the next, her lace bra peaked out.
Lenora could hear her name being said.
Her eyes lazily watched Tom's mouth moving in conversation, licking her own lips.
She wondered what it would feel like to feel his lips drag across her body.
Licking her breasts, moving between her thighs...
"Lenora!" she heard Black a little louder, Abraxas and Tom looked at Black who again said "LENORA" in a raised his voice.
Theo and Lilith looked at Black too. Then their attention quickly turned to Nora.
Her cheeks were flushed, her lips parted and her dress was completely unbuttoned in the front . She was nearly writhing in her chair. Lilith and Theo looked at each other, Abraxas quickly looked away in shock, Tom stared at her.
"Nora?" Tom asked
"Mmm, I love the way you say my name" she said in a seductive tone, her fingers traced across her lips as she sighed.
Black grabbed the glass from in front of her.
"You gave her something" he said turning his attention to Delia who had a self satisfied smile.
Nora was confused and looked at Delia for a moment.
"You're so pretty" she said with a sleepy smile, stroking Delia's hair.
"Who's the strumpet now, bitch?" Delia asked.
Lilith stood up, "you venomous cow" she pointed her wand. Theo grabbed Lilith quickly to hold her back.
Abraxas pounded his fist onto the table enraged, "What did you give her Delia!?".
"Hmm I'm not sure." She shrugged, "maybe I didn't give her anything. We all know she's a little tart when she's drunk".
Lilith started her way around the table to tear Delia's eyes out. Delia sprung up trying to make a beeline for the door.
Theo chased after both of them with Abraxas following.
Tom and Black stared at Nora who arched her back in her chair.
"It's sooo hot in here" she whined,"my whole body feels-" her fingers traced down her breasts making their way between her thighs. She cried out softly, "so...good".
Tom quickly crossed the room and grabbed her wrists to stop her. He knelt in front of her as she moved lustily against her chair.
Black stood with his mouth open watching her.
"Don't you have anything?" Tom turned to Black.
"Like what?!" His eyes widened as she moaned at Tom's touch, leaning forward trying to push her breasts in his face.
"A calming draught, a sleeping draught," Tom's eyes widened and he trying to move his head away as she whined,"draught of the living dead for Merlin's sake, anything Cygnus".
"I have a sleeping draught I think" he said scurrying out of the room.
Tom watched Nora's chest heave, her lace bra almost fully visible. He let go of her wrists and started to rebutton her dress.
"I want you" she said and he tried to ignore her as she began to stroke his face and shoulders, "please Tom, I want to feel you so badly."
He successfully buttoned her dress and went to hold her arms down again but she launched herself at him. They both fell to the floor. He sat up as she climbed on top of him.
"Nora, stop it" he said but her hands were twisted in his hair, she kissed his neck, licking and biting him.
Tom put his hands on her waist trying to move her off, she bucked her hips and straddled him, grinding herself down.
It was unbearable. She had a heat building between her thighs that made her cry out. He smelled amazing, his lips were so close, and most of all she could feel him straining against his pants. It brushed between her. He wanted this too.
Tom looked up trying not to give in no matter how hard he wanted to. Her touch was brazen, he took a sharp breath in when she pushed her hips down onto his. Her eyes looked desperate and she pushed down harder, he felt her shudder against him and her lips tried to meet his as he tested his own willpower.
Finally he managed to stand and pull her up, he reached his pocket for his wand. She kissed his chest, her fingers raking down to grab his belt. Finally as her hand palmed him, through his pants, he pointed the wand at her legs.
"Locomotor Mortis" he said and caught her before she could fall onto the ground.
Black burst in and handed him the potion.
Tom held her cheek and told her to open her mouth so he could pour it in.
"Take this" Tom said firmly, "it will make you feel better".
"Only if you kiss me" she said turning her head to the side clamping her mouth shut.
Tom couldn't help but smile, he grabbed her chin and kissed her softly his lips barely meeting hers before pulling away. An embarrassingly loud sound left her mouth and he held her face still as he poured the potion in. He backed into a chair and sat pinning her down across his lap as her movements slowed
He took a breath, it was exhausting physically and mentally fighting her.
Abraxas, Theo and Lilith ran back in,
"It was a lust potion!" they all stopped.
Tom sat on the chair, Nora across his lap with her legs paralyzed.
Her head dipped onto his shoulder, she looked blissed out. Tom held her with one arm and rested his head in the other hand.
"I think we figured that much out".
Nora whimpered and Tom looked down at her flushed face.
"Feeling better?" He raised his brow, her head fell back and she collapsed asleep in his arms.
