[Hogwarts Duo]

A/N: Wow! A victory celebration is in order for option B as it is this week’s unanimous winner. Not that we were really surprised

We would like to thank MiniPrincess and Lady Jolly for their additions to the chapter! MiniPrincess asked for a plush toy that makes the sound of the animal (i.e a little toy tiger that roars!) and the phrase "to the sun and back 1000 times" and Lady Jolly asked for a pocket watch and the quote “This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected--in so far as it could be a matter of conscious awareness; it took entire possession of him, and he understood, with joyous amazement, that this was for life.” by Thomas Mann.

This week we would like to ask Jaya and Kacie to send us a phrase and an object to include in our next chapter. Now onto the story…lemons will be following so if you are not interested in details, please skip the section that is marked off by the stars (*). So everybody, especially the “K” group who “gently” nudged us into posting, we give you…

Waves of Pleasure

Minerva’s passion filled eyes locked with his and for a brief moment so many thoughts were exchanged without the use of any words. Her trembling hand reached up and brushed a strand of his wet hair behind his ear, her fingertips teasing the one spot behind his ear that made his eyes flutter back into his head. As he had done a thousand times, he leaned into her touch mere seconds before his lips made contact with her wrist.

Dark eyelashes formed a perfect crescent shape beneath Minerva’s eyes as they closed and her lips parted. She could feel Albus’ tongue dancing lazily across her skin along her pulse point and it was awakening all her senses at once. The smell of the sea, the feel of his lips on her body, the taste of his kisses and his quickness of breath all combined to overload her mind with desire. She tried to sit up on the blanket, to take part in the feast of their passions but she was not granted that luxury just yet.

Albus took her arm and stretched it out beside her on the blanket but she found she could not speak to ask his intentions; his lips had grazed her arm once more, nipping and teasing its way towards her shoulder. The combination of warm lips and his nimble fingers running teasingly across her stomach and between the valley of her breasts caused her head to loll back and forth as soft whimpers of pure lust escaped her throat.

As he finally reached her shoulder and forged further to the base of her throat and the hollow of her neck, he released her arm. His mind lost all sense of time and space as he heard her cries of desire slip from her lips and into the night. Feather light kisses covered her neck and face as his large hand cupped her breast in a gentle massage.

For Minerva, this was the most aroused she had ever been with a man. Just a touch from Albus in the past had been able to make her warm and tingly but this was different, more erotic and sensual, certainly more heated. She was torn between begging him never to stop his slow exploration and begging him to please help her find her release quickly and hungrily. In the end, all she was able to utter were the words…’yes, please Albus.’

Albus raised his head briefly, just long enough to lock eyes with her once more. “I’m going to take you to the sun and back a thousand times before this night is through.” Kissing each of her eyelids closed, he nibbled on her bottom lip, sucking it as if it were a piece of passion fruit then claiming it in a searing kiss.

Her arms locked around his neck, her hands splayed across his back and pressing him into her. She could just feel the light sprinkling of his chest hairs as they tickled her wet skin. Her nipples ached in anticipation, remembering the sensation of being crushed against his chest in the water and she greedily arched her back, pushing her firm breasts into his body and trapping his hand between them.

“Patience my love,” he breathed across her skin where his lips left a moist trail. As his warm breath blew across her she shivered. It never ceased to amaze her what his simple voice could do to her body and mind. She had very little time to think of his voice before those supple lips and talented tongue latched onto her nipple and began to tease and taunt it until the distended pebble was at its’ peak. One hand worked her neglected breast as Albus feasted for the first time upon the soft, creamy skin he so desperately craved for weeks. When he nibbled and tasted her luscious breasts he noted all the spots in and around the area which seemed to give her the most satisfaction and increased her breathing. It was that kind of thorough foreplay and mental note taking which would prove invaluable to him in future endeavors with his one true love and give him the confidence to know how to please her even better the next time.

As Albus lavished her breasts with his skilled mouth and tongue, Minerva felt herself wanting to giggle. The soft hairs of his beard and moustache tickled her in places she had never known to be ticklish before. She squirmed and writhed beneath him and with each movement she found more and more satisfaction. His firm erection now securely between them, she could almost feel it pulse in an unheard beat with her own heart as she moved against him. Daringly, she wrapped one leg around his and began to tease the back of his leg with her foot, occasionally pushing his body into hers by firmly pressing against the cheek of his bottom.

When he was satisfied that each of her breasts had been treated equally and her moans grew more and more insistent along with the movement of her hips, Albus rocked back on his legs as he knelt between her long curvy legs and stared up at her flushed body. Her eyes were still closed but the smile up on her lips was something he never wanted to forget. The way her amazing breasts heaved in time with her heavy breathing made him want her all the more. Reaching down to her, his long fingers swept across her stomach and disappeared to her sides then down to her hips where they resurfaced at the tops of her shapely legs.

“Please, Albus,” she begged out of desire and need. “I want you so much,” she managed to speak out in a husky voice laden with passion and want.

In silent answer to her pleading, he slid his hands down the sides of her legs and back up her inner thighs several times, varying the speed and pressure with each gentle stroke. Each time he neared the center of her moist heat, her legs parted more and more until they were wide open and inviting him into her most sacred of places.

Albus bent over and pressed a soft kiss to her navel when his hand first touched the soft black hairs which were wet from his earlier ministrations. A sudden gasp from Minerva made him smile as she lifted her hips from the blanket, as if offering herself up to him symbolically. With his free hand, he gently guided her body back to the blanket as he continued to massage her mound, her urgent cries and moans instructing him as only she could to all the places she needed him most.

Sensing her increasing excitement, he knew she would not last long if he continued on his current path. Without any hesitation, Albus gently moved away from her hot center and scraped his fingers lovingly along her legs, across the tops of her feet, and down to the soles of them. He chuckled as she squirmed when he hit a ticklish spot on the bottom of her foot but he did not let that deter him from his mission. Bringing her left foot up to his lips, he ran his hands along her foot, making sure to brush the sand from it as he went. Then, without any warning, his tongue darted out to stroke the sole of her foot as he softly caressed her ankle with his fingertips. Taking each one in turn, her toes were nibbled and sucked as wave after wave of passion crashed inside her. This was an entirely new sensation for her and something she never thought she would find erotic but with Albus, anything was possible.

As he leisurely bathed her foot in kisses and sensual touches with his mouth and tongue, Minerva couldn’t help herself. Her free foot stretched out and brushed against his hard desire. Gently, she ran the top of her foot along his shaft and watched as he faltered momentarily in his nurturing of her toes. When her big toe slid over the tip of his enlarged member, he gasped and quickly took her foot in his hand, intent on making her pay sensually for her daring. After paying due homage to both of her feet and watching as her hips lifted involuntarily off the blanket, Albus felt it was time to really show her what he was capable of when with the woman he loved beyond words.

“I love you so much Minerva,” he whispered against her body as he settled between her legs once more. Mere seconds later his skilled tongue, the one which had brought her so much joy moments ago to her chest, made its’ first swipe along the glistening folds to take his first taste of her essence. One taste of her love for him and he was forever addicted to it. Never had he tasted anything so intoxicating or so arousing and with each stroke of his tongue across the delicate skin, her moans grew deeper, practically rumbling through her body and into his. The pad of his thumb worked ceaselessly over the sensitive core of her womanhood which seemed to create the most fervent cries of the greatest need to slip passed her swollen lips.

[Hogwarts Duo]

Minerva was almost certain she would never survive this encounter with Albus. She was sure that her heart would explode by the way it was beating or that she would simply pass out from her erratic breaths. Yet the more he touched her and devoured her body, the longer she tried to hang on if for no other reason than to see what he would find next to do to her. When his tongue slid deeper inside her, she clenched her inner muscles, desperately trying to seek some relief from the mounting pressure and desire within her. Her hands ran through his soft hair as she pressed his face closer to her mound and cried out urging him to plunder her and find all her hidden treasures. When he hit upon the center of her desire and heat and he began to gently flick his skilled tongue over the little nub, Minerva’s eyes flooded with stars as she moaned his name in passion …Albussssss…

When he heard that sexy voice calling his name, Albus knew she was close and it was time. His member was throbbing and begging for some release but he had tried to hold off as long as possible. This evening was all about his Minerva, the woman to whom he would gladly give all he had and pray it was enough to keep her happy. Ceasing the movement of his hand across her center, he brought his fingers to his lips and she watched as he tasted the very lust from her body, his eyes closed in sheer enjoyment.

“I…am…yours…” she spoke softly.

Albus needed no other encouragement as he positioned himself at her entrance, the mere tip of his swollen member barely touching her swollen lips as he sensually tormented her by lightly rubbing across her need. But that was short lived as she began to move quickly, practically begging him with her body, mind, and voice to enter her. With ease and self-control, he took his time in sliding inside her, savoring the feel of her tight walls as they clamped around him, giving him the long awaited satisfaction he craved. The heat from her body and the tightness nearly made him lose control as he found himself fully seated within her and the feeling was beyond exquisite.

Albus stilled himself inside her, trying to give them both time to adjust to the new sensations but Minerva was far too gone for that. Upon instinct, she began to rotate her hips against his and arch her body upwards until they had found a rhythm all their own. With one last look at her gloriously happy expression, Albus closed his eyes and began to meet her thrust for thrust, cry for cry, moan for moan.

In a moment of sudden strength and enthusiasm, Minerva rose up and forced Albus onto his back, never breaking their stride. With a playful gleam in her dark eyes, she took control of their movements, bouncing up and down upon his hard shaft, varying the speed and angles to give them both the greatest amount of satisfaction.

Never before had Albus felt so many things all at once. The texture of her skin coupled with the intense heat and slickness from within made him wish he could go for hours and hours without stopping. He wished there was some way to stay like this forever and yet if they remained in this current state, they’d never slip the bonds of earth and float effortlessly into the heavens as they reached the peak. Still rocking his hips with hers, Albus slipped his hands around her body to cup her bottom, giving it a sensual massage as his lips locked on one of her flushed breasts, tasting the nipple once more. Pressing her closer and closer to his body, he was certain he felt the first shudder of her body as he took a particularly playful nip at one of the spots he had located earlier in his quest for her pleasure.

Easing one hand to the front of her body, he slipped it between them and began to mercilessly tease her sensitive nub until her inner walls began to clench and pull him in deeper and deeper. “Yessss, Albus….more….faster Albus…yessss” she cried out incoherently as her body began to tremble. Lowering her head to his, she captured his lips in a frenzied kiss, tongues battling wildly as they slipped from this world and into the velvety stars, shimmering overhead and twinkling as if blessing their love.

Her name floated easily from his lips as he felt himself give way and explode inside her, bathing her in his love and in turn feeling her body drawing every last drop he had to give. Sated and fully spent, their bodies shuddered for several moments afterwards as they cuddled together, still joined in every conceivable way. The only sounds to be heard were those of the ocean waves, the pounding of their hearts, and the heavy breaths escaping their flushed bodies as they lay spent upon the beach, the moon overhead the only witness to the sheer magic which had just been created between Albus and Minerva.

************************************************************************

“Mmm, Albus,” she spoke softly with only the hint of a question in her voice.

“Yes, my dear.” Albus propped himself up on his elbow, taking in the soft curves and angles of her profile.

Minerva turned onto her back, her dark hair forming a halo behind her. “I thought I saw a lovely wrapped package when we first arrived.”

Albus chuckled as his fingers swept an errant strand of hair away from her eyes. The caress brought with it a shot of warmth in the cool air. “I believe I have it right here.”

Albus summoned the gift and gave it to Minerva after she had propped herself to a half sitting position on some pillows. Enjoying the delight that shined from her eyes, Albus watched as she tore the colorful paper revealing a cloth drawstring pouch whose green color matched the shade of her eyes perfectly. Opening the pouch, she tipped the contents into her hand and gasped in surprised delight at what was revealed.

Cupped in her palm was a golden Egyptian cat pendant with beautifully cut emeralds for eyes and a striking blue lapis inset into its body. Minerva caressed it gently, her fingers running over the smooth features. “It is beautiful Albus.”

Minerva’s eyes met his and with the gift still wrapped in her hand, she leaned up and gave him a kiss, soft as the breeze but filled with the love that was in her heart. They broke apart, each set of eyes locked on the other. Albus smiled and ran his thumb across her lips, still swollen from their previous encounter. “May I assist you in trying it on?”

Minerva nodded her head, words escaping her at the emotions she saw in his eyes.
Albus took the clasp between his fingers and with a deft move he had it fastened around her slender neck, his fingers brushing across her skin. The pendant fell and nestled between her breasts.

“Hmmm, it feels…different…as if it is humming. It is almost as if it is alive.” Minerva blushed as the comments spilled from her lips. She hadn’t meant to say them aloud but the pendant seemed to give off a feeling of contentment.

“It is alive, in the sense that it carries many charms which is probably why you feel the humming of it against your skin. It has some basic protective qualities. The more interesting charms…ahhh, yes. I see them taking effect.”

Minerva looked down and noticed that the eyes of the cat were shining and the blue lapis and gold had a glow about it. “Whenever I am thinking of you, the cat will shine. In addition, the pendant also responds to my feelings giving off a reflection of my mood.”

Minerva closed her eyes and enjoyed the emotions she had sensed earlier. She was overwhelmed with the knowledge that he trusted her with something as precious as his feelings and she tried to form words which would convey everything she was feeling. “Albus, these sensations are so amazing. This is what you feel when you think of me?" she asked softly.

He merely nodded his head as thoughts and images of their previous lovemaking flooded his memory.

"This is the most wonderful gift you could have ever given me...the pendant to your heart and mind. I will wear it constantly, as a reminder of my love for you and yours for me. I feel honored by your trust in me to safeguard your heart and I will cherish this moment always."

“I love you, Minerva. And it is I who am honored…by your presence in my life and the love you have granted me.” Albus leaned back to look at the beauty before him, his gift prominently displayed. He was a lucky man to have found such a woman. Minerva seemed to know what he needed without him having to say it in words. She understood him in a way no one had before. His love for her was complete and he basked in its glow. As he took in the sight of her, watching the play of emotions across her face his eyes wandered over her form, still bare from their earlier activities. His gaze followed her shapely calves to the swell of her hips to the curve of her breasts and the pendant, which nestled there until his gaze rested on the jumping pulse of her neck.

He looked up to find Minerva watching him, her eyes dark with lust. “I believe there are more benefits to this necklace than I first anticipated. Perhaps I could interest you in moving our picnic to my house…for the weekend.”

[Hogwarts Duo]

Albus’ eyes sparkled as he scooped Minerva off of the blanket and with a wave of his wand, they were clothed and he had the picnic packed and in his pocket. “I think that is an excellent idea, my dear.” The soft cascade of laughter filled the air briefly before being cut off as the couple disappeared from sight.

Minerva woke to sunlight streaming in her bedroom window. The first thing she noticed was the empty space beside her. Tentatively she reached out and felt the pillow next to her which was cold to the touch. She surmised that Albus must already be up and she took a moment to listen for the sound of a shower or some puttering in the kitchen. Silence met her ears and with a bit of trepidation she squinted out the window.

With a start, she realized that the sun was much higher in the sky than it should have been. Tossing the covers aside, she looked to her bedside table, hoping she was mistaken in her estimation of the time. She did not wish to start the week out by arriving at Hogwarts late, especially since she needed to add the last ingredient to the potion this morning.

The clock confirmed her fears. She only had one hour before the potion needed to be attended to. With a flurry of activity, Minerva soon found herself in the shower, warm water soaking through her thick tresses. A slow, very mischievous smile spread across her face. Her mind replayed several scenes from the weekend. One in particular lingered in her memory. One that included the shower and some heavenly scented soap. She had teased Albus mercilessly after the fact, when he had walked around smelling of lavender and honey.

It was after that rather wild encounter, early on Sunday morning just before they had collapsed into bed – finally spent and ready for some sleep – that Albus had called her his lioness. She wasn’t sure if it was due to their all night escapades, her vocalization or the superficial scratches down his back. She had been too tired to ask and in any case, Albus had fallen asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. When they had woken later, he had used his new name for her in a soft whisper as his tongue had plundered her body and she found she didn’t mind her new nickname, not in the least.

Minerva finished her shower, her body tingling as it responded to her thoughts of the weekend. Determined to control her impulses, at least until Albus stopped by on his afternoon break, Minerva turned her memory to Sunday afternoon. Albus had suggested a game of chess and Minerva had readily agreed. While she set up the board, he had gone to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat for them. She had expected some bread and cheese or perhaps a bit of the leftover food from their picnic. Instead she had wandered out of the room to find him mixing batter for some scones.

He had laughed at her look of surprise. “You didn’t think I could bake?”

“I never really considered the question before. But I am happy to see that your numerous skills include cooking.” Minerva had appreciated his many talents even more when she had tasted his baked goods straight out of the oven. The meal had been delicious and she had stated that he could cook next weekend as well. His eyes had twinkled as he accepted her proposition even as she claimed another of his pawns. He had willingly given up his pocket watch – at which point she had argued with him about it being an article of clothing. After all, strip chess was a serious game and she was determined to win.

Realizing that time was getting away from her, Minerva quickly picked out her robes for the day. With only a few minutes to spare, Minerva was heading out of the bedroom intent on grabbing a quick bite of breakfast before flooing to Hogwarts to prepare the ingredients for the potion.

As she reached the kitchen, her eyes caught on an interesting sight. Sitting on the counter was a note pinned to a small stuffed lion. She walked over and detached the bit of parchment. It was addressed to My Lioness and Minerva smiled fondly at her new nickname. She unfolded the paper and felt her heart skip a beat as she read the beautiful poem inside.

This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected--in so far as it could be a matter of conscious awareness; it took entire possession of him, and he understood, with joyous amazement, that this was for life.

A quote from Thomas Mann, a man whose work she admired. She wiped away the tears which had gathered in her eyes before she reached out for the gift from Albus. As her hand made contact with its furry body, a small roar sounded and the animal butted its head against her hand.

Minerva laughed delightedly at the creatures’ antics. How Albus had found such a beast, especially as occupied as he had been this weekend, only Merlin knew. But his reference was clear and with great fondness, Minerva picked up the little animal, brought it to her bedroom, placed it on her pillow and gave it a gentle stroke along its back before heading for the fireplace.

The options for this week are:

A. Albus is unexpectedly called away on business much to Minerva’s displeasure. But the separation leads to some very interesting discoveries.

B. Albus and Minerva have a discussion about their upcoming use of the mind linking potion and what effect it may have on their relationship.

Voting will end on August 2nd.

[Alesia]
