[daphne_x]

Daphne watched the clock tick past until it was time to slip out of the Slytherin Common Room. It was past curfew but Daphne never cared much for the rules. It was easy for her to get out of detention if she ever was caught

"I should be asking you the same," Terry smiled, his deep voice subdued to a low whisper. "I'm always prompt, Daphne. How about you?"

His eyes danced, knowing she would catch his small joke. He never minded waiting for Daphne no matter how long it took her to get ready. Still, he was completely flattered that she put effort into seeing him... the boy who had caught her cheating and nearly turned her in. Who would have thought a few small months would lead to this?

"You once said I'm worth the wait," she teased, one eye brow raised.

Daphne couldn't help but laugh at his small jab. There was once a time his presence set her on fire. Something about his made her so angry.

He still set her on fire, but for a much different reason.

"I'll stand by that," he conceded, taking a step closer to her. At one time he'd have been nervous at approaching her- he'd barely been able to touch her without fear of rejection.

Now, he grabbed her to him in a smooth, fluid motion, his hands deftly finding the small of her back as he dipped her over for kiss.

Something about tipping Daphne in his arms made him feel unstoppable.

"Always worth it."

Daphne felt the heat rise up in her instantly. Nobody had ever touched her like this or held her. It was almost as if the world saw Daphne as a glass doll, too delicate and cold to ever get close to.

But Terry was different. She was starting to see that now.

"And I might have a little surprise for you," she whispered, using her finger to pull her cardigan to its side. Underneath she wore an emerald green lace bra.

"That is, if you've been good." She ran her hand through his soft hair.
