man sat watching us and I saw him furious ly scribbling notes. It didn’t matter what he was writing because I rarely paid much attention to what anyone thought, much less a human. It was one of the things my husband claimed to love most about me.
Excusing ourselves a moment, Severus and I stepped out into the hall to discuss where he'd been and why. He kissed my forehead and I knew in an instant that he was leaving again, much to my chagrin. He was very schooled in my looks of disappointment and I was positive he knew that I wasn't happy just by his demeanor.
Holding me close he whispered words of love and devotion into my ear, hoping to placate me enough that I wouldn't flip out on him for leaving again. With the young man in the other room, within hearing distance, my husband felt more assured that I'd keep up the appearance of a happy little wife.
Shooting him the dirtiest look I had, I backed away from him and pouted. Sticking my bottom lip out, I let out a deep sigh and Severus laughed out loud.
“Sunshine, you look adorable when you do that, but whisking you upstairs and spending the day making love to you is not a viable option at this time. You have a guest, if you remember.”
Stomping my foot for dramatic effect, I tried to hold back a giggle and failed miserably at it. I never could stay mad at him for long but I was still upset . “And you have to leave again, don't you?”
His nod was barely perceptible but I didn't need the visual confirmation, I could read his thoughts. Without a word, I turned from him and stepped back into the room, closing the door behind me to signal just how upset I was that he was going again so soon.
I paid no attention to the young man as I rested my back against the door and listened to Sev's steps falling softly down the hall. I heard him talking to the twins, smiling sadly at how excited they were to have him sit down and play tea party with them. It was a rare treat for them that Daddy took the time to make himself available to play with them.
Vivienne and Vivica were both Daddy's Girls and it was well known that he adored his daughters . I'd have given anything to be in that room right then, just to watch them interact , but I had other obligations and I knew that the twins needed this time alone with their father .
To his credit, the young man, whose name I still didn't recall, remained silent. My tears fell , unnoticed , down my cheeks. We'd never be a normal family and most days that didn't bother me, but today, I would have traded all the powers I had for the chance to have my husband home all the time.
He jumped when I spoke. I couldn't be sure if it were from fear or surprise that I'd actually done so , but jump he did.
“He's hardly ever home anymore.”
“I'm sorry, Mrs. Severus.”
I gave him a sad half smile and pushed myself off the door, taking my seat again. “What's your name again, my dear?”
“Aaron, ma'am.”
“Are you married, Aaron?”
“No ma'am.” The scent of citrus permeated the air as he shook his head and I felt an overwhelming urge to taste his blood.
Controlling myself , I nodded and crossed legs that were clad in ripped jeans. “We weren't always like this. There was a time when we did anything possible to be together.”
The memory opened before my eyes as if I were watching a movie, an old, black and white classic film that always ended happily. Only this one had more twists and turns than a Patricia Cornwell novel.
Chapter Ten
Severus and I'd been together for only a few months after meeting up again at that pool party, when I decided I needed more from him. I broached the subject one night while we lay satiated from a passionate love making session. Without fear or hesitation I told him that I was falling in love with him and wanted more than just a casual relationship. That was the first time that Sev told me that he couldn't love. He
