I can't tell where your lust ends and where your love begins

During his last two years at Hogwarts, he had dropped a good stone and a half thanks to a steady diet of fear and worry. His constant terror for his family and for himself and the sickening feeling in his stomach as he waited for the other shoe to drop had killed his appetite.

After Rose's visit, that feeling returned. He awoke the next day convinced she would tell Scorpius and he would lose everything – his son, his wife, and his reputation. So sure of this he could see the moment in his head; Rose's tearful confession that would blame him for everything and his son's reaction as he veered between hurt and anger. Every Floo-call, every knock at the door, had him at edge as he waited for what seemed like the inevitable.

In these moments, Draco truly hated her. He hated her for coming to his office, hated her deceiving his son, and hated himself for still wanting her.

Even that sick feeling in his stomach couldn't stop him from being aroused at the memory of her mouth on his, the way she had moaned and whimpered and how she had looked nude and spread beneath him.

“You're smoking again.”

Asteria's cloy little attempts to draw him out were tiring. “I wanted a cigarette, is that a crime?”

She raised a brow at him, a hard look in her eyes. “Not at all, dear.”
