She is the poison that gets him through the day. She burns in his veins like the best heroin money can't buy. She makes him one with the universe and she singles him out in the same breath. He wants her, he hates to need her, he is addicted. She sharpens his mind and dulls his wits. She makes him beg and he hates her for it, but he cant stop wanting her. She makes him someone he despises and she she makes him all the things he wished he was, she makes him someone powerful, someone to be feared, respected, she makes him a god. She stole his soul and he knows she has no intent to return. Her kiss leaves his mouth bitter and raw tasting of blood and perspiration, tasting of lust. Her touch seers his skin, makes him feverish and restless, makes his heart beat and blood flow, reminds him that he is still alive. She is blood lust, she is a vicious wit and a sharp tongue, she is black magic, she is the smell of raw sex, she is regret and angst, she is pain and pleasure, she is rage and the word fuck, she is the icy burn of the first cut, she is the release brought by pain.
He is sits in a dark corner of their room, watching his young wife sleeping in the moonlight, he idly rubs where the dark mark used to be. He feels empty and guilty. Hermione shifts in her sleep murmuring something in dreamspeak, her curves gently obscured by the heavy blankets. Severus hangs his head in shame, he doesn't lover her, can't love her. He wishes he could love her the way she deserves to be loved, but he doesn't know how. He isn't even sure he knows what love is. He understands and embraces the allure of evil, of darkness, he feels safe there, welcomes the blood lust and the rage. Love, whatever it is, could never compare to the all consuming lust and ferocity, the safety and familiarity of evil. Hermione could never love him the way the darkness loved him.
“What's wrong?”
“Nothing, just a nightmare...”
