That had always been a good way to rationalize things -- as if he needed to rationalize. Or perhaps it had been the way the boy had looked at him. He liked that look, the defensiveness in the dark eyes, the hurt, the longing. He liked also the way the boy's thin lips curved into a sneer, nostrils flaring, eyes flashing anger beneath long black lashes. He had to admit, it excited him, aroused him even. But he had been bored. He had to face that. Hogwarts was such an uneventful place, really, for someone like him, with his propensities. At home, at least, there were his father's lovely things to play with, the Dark Objects locked away in the dungeons, the house elves to torment and abuse, places to go shopping. Well, that was almost embarrassing, that he loved to shop, but he'd long ago ceased to care if others thought him effeminate. His ability to be languid -- almost campy, at times -- had grown to be a part of his charm. Of course, he could get away with it now, as a boy, but in later years it would have to be given up. Things that may suit a schoolboy would be inappropriate for a man, and especially for such a man as he planned to become. The boredom, though, the almost unbearable ennui, had been putting him into a black and foul mood, and he'd found himself becoming hateful. Crabbe and Goyle had, as ever, been accommodating, but being serviced by the likes of them could only go so far. It had been funny, at first, seeing their clumsy efforts, but that had quickly passed as their ministrations became routine. He remembered that first time, though, and it never failed to bring a smirk to his lips. Crabbe -- or was it Goyle? Well, no matter. One of them, anyway, had been sitting with him in the dormitory, attempting to do homework, his face screwed up with concentration as his feeble intellect struggled towards understanding. Lucius had been smoking, although the Muggle cigarettes were strictly forbidden, and he had watched the boy with amusement, thinking what it would be like to -- "I say, Crabbe...." he had drawled lazily. "Mm-hmm," the boy had muttered, looking up, bewildered. "Don't say 'mm-hmm,'" he'd spat. "Say 'yes.'" He liked, at times, to play the pedant with them, the strict teacher. "Oh, yeah. Sorry. Yes." "I was thinking that I'd like to have my cock sucked," he'd said nonchalantly, letting his eyes half close in a languidly seductive manner, the cigarette smoke curling out from his nostrils. "Oh, that would be great, yeah," the other boy had said. "That Williams girl is hot as hell. I'd like some of --" "Yes, yes," he'd snapped. "But I was thinking more along the lines of getting my cock sucked by you." It made him laugh now to think about it. He lay back among the cushions of his bed, nestling closer into the goose-down comforter covered in black velvet, feeling the smoothness of it against his naked skin. It made him laugh, but it did not arouse him. He felt jaded. He thought then of Severus, and he let his right hand linger caressingly across the smoothness of his chest and sighed. Severus.... It was not that he was handsome; he was anything but that. His face reminded Lucius of the faces of saints in ancient Muggle religious icons -- such a thin, sallow face, but strangely refined, strangely alluring, the large nose beneath those luminous dark eyes, the thin lips tightly closed, as though to lock in words that he longed to utter. It was a face created to register suffering, to register resentment and hurt and pain. And Lucius Malfoy knew how to cause such emotions; it came to him as easily as breathing. He liked to think of Severus as one of those alien saints. The paintings of them thrilled him almost shamefully, even though they had been created by ignorant Muggles and were merely solid, unmoving things, static images. There was something of beauty in them, however, and of violence and despair. It was pleasing, on the whole, to see St. Sebastian shot through with arrows, saints crucified, the ubiquitous and somehow almost touching image of the Muggles' martyred God. Lucius could imagine Severus like that, chained perhaps in the Malfoy dungeons, his spirit broken, his body bruised and pierced, and on his face, in his dark eyes a look of -- what? Lucius realized it in that moment, seeing in his mind's eye that delicious image; he wanted to see gratitude, to see love, reflected in those eyes. He had gotten a glimpse of it, just two nights ago, when Severus had knelt before him, when Lucius had commanded him to look up, when he had pinned him there with his cock impaling his throat, Severus helpless on his knees, overwhelmed with lust, those mindless sounds issuing forth from deep within him. How pleasing it had been -- how more than pleasing -- how gratifying and invigorating and wonderful, to see then the tears come into his eyes and brim over the edge of his long, dark lashes. That had been too much for him, making him climax as he had never done before, with such force and energy, with such abandon. It had almost frightened him that another could make him feel that way. Lucius wished now that he had spoken to Severus earlier in the day, that he had instructed him to come to his bed that night. He would not have refused. How could he refuse, when commanded so by Lucius Malfoy? He remembered Severus's look of pleading, of almost unbearable longing. He'd wanted more. Lucius could have fucked him for hours, could have defiled every orifice, could have devoured his still-beating heart, drunk the blood from his veins, sodomized his very soul. But such pleasures were not to be wasted, were not to be squandered. A prize such as Severus was meant to be savored, taken in small doses as a powerful drug is taken, lingered over, caressed, slowly and languorously and deliciously conquered and destroyed. It was not that he was completely devoid of human feeling. Not at all. He was gentle, in his own way, and caring. At least, he thought that he could be those things, if the moment were right, if he allowed himself to be. His moon was in Scorpio, after all, and that was a sign of passion, of emotions deeply felt. True, it was also a sign of death, of sex and transformation, of power and cruelty, but such matters, for Lucius, were not in conflict with his feelings of desire, with his feelings of tenderness, if it could be termed that. He stroked himself as he sometimes liked to do, lazily, lingeringly, letting his hand just brush the head of his cock, fingertips grazing over his balls, over the shaft iron-hard and engorged. Severus's warm, soft tongue would have been so much better, but he had no one but himself to blame for the boy's absence. He imagined then what it would be like to have him there in the bed with him, to have him there on his hands and knees, naked, exposed, vulnerable. Lucius had been thrilled by the feeling of his own hand clutching the boy's hair, causing him pain. True, his hair was greasy, but it was dark and soft and redolent with the scent of spices; it must be the shampoo he used that made it smell that way. Severus was an obsessive bather, after all, and surely it was just bad genetics that made his hair so greasy.... Well, it didn't matter. It didn't matter at all, as long as Severus would look at him with that wounded look of longing. What would it be like to enter him, to cause him that alien and unnatural pain? Lucius felt his cock throb beneath his touch. Would he cry out and beg for mercy, or would he bite his lip and be silent, muffling his cries in the pillow? The possibilities were endless, troublingly arousing, distressingly and almost unbearably erotic to him. Lucius would not hold back, he knew; it was not in his nature to hold back. He would hurt him, and he would enjoy the other's pain. Lucius wanted to make him feel it, to make him know who violated him, to make it an experience that he would remember always, that would shame him.... But then, when it was over, what would it be like to take Severus in his arms, to kiss away his tears, to soothe him, to comfort him? How crueler still that would be, causing his victim yet to love him. And yet -- it would not be insincere, that tenderness, that tender contempt. It would be what he  felt, he was sure, not disgust but disgust mingled with something perhaps akin to love. He grasped himself, suddenly unable to hold back any longer, stroking himself in long, hard pulses, feeling his whole body tense with lust. And then, at the moment of climax, his loins thrusting, his body jerking as though with pain, he saw the image of Severus looking up at him, tears dampening his thin cheeks, his eyes filled with longing and shame and lust, and he heard himself, almost not believing that he said it, whispering the words that came to him unbidden: "Severus... Severus... my angel... my whore...." Even as he climaxed, even as he felt the abandon of it, the loss of control, he experienced another sensation, a feeling of being soiled, of revulsion. He hated that he had uttered those foolish words, even to himself, even in his mind - - worse that he had whispered them aloud, that those who lay in their beds around him, if they lay sleepless also, may have heard him. If Severus had been there with him, as he had wished, he would have struck him. He would have made him pay, would have made him suffer, for causing him, a Malfoy and his superior in all ways, to debase himself, to give in to lust and yearning, to expose his own needs in so raw, so visceral a manner. But then -- that would be gratifying as well, that would be nearly as heartwrenchingly poignant, to strike him across the face, to see the hurt in his eyes, perhaps a flaring of anger. Would there be blood? He imagined a thin trickle of it, from mouth or nose, the redness against the paleness of flesh, the red of blood and the white of flesh and the deep black of that long, soft hair.... No. He would have to accept it; he needed Severus as he had never needed anything. And he resented that he would need. Was this what love was, he wondered. Was this yearning to injure, to humiliate, to caress, to dominate, what love was? It was not only those things that he felt, though. He felt more, and those other feelings were more troubling by far. He had wanted to harm others before, ever since he could remember, had wanted power over them, but he had not felt this alien tenderness, this strange craving for the affections of another. He had wanted to inspire respect, to inspire fear, but those things were only a part now of what he felt. He didn't like feeling desire; desire makes one weak. But he could not help himself. Carefully, quietly, he rose from his bed, pulling his robe over his nakedness. It was silky, dusky dark, a deep dark green, down the front of it silver clasps in the form of serpents' heads. The feeling of it against his still-trembling flesh was exhilarating. Lighting the candle by his bedside, he made his way softly across the room, out the door, and went noiselessly to the showers. No one would hear him, and if they did hear him they would not dare to stop him. Here, in the Slytherin quarters, in the dungeons, he could wander with impunity. He was Lucius Malfoy; he had every right to do as he pleased. He showered, cleansing himself, feeling the scalding water hitting the back of his neck, his long silver-blond hair streaming down over his shoulders, the droplets of water falling from his naked whiteness like tiny diamonds, jeweled and glittering in the dim light. The soap he used was scented with vanilla, his favorite scent, so warm, almost feminine, strangely cozy and reassuring. He had never thought of that before, had never wondered at his preference for this soft and delicate fragrance. He dried himself, letting his hair hang down loosely, almost disheveled, knowing how it would look against the background of the dark green robe, knowing how he would look, like and angel, like a demon clothed in light, deceptive and alluring. He would go to see Severus, asleep in the other dormitory, dreaming perhaps of him, of Lucius Malfoy -- for who else would haunt his dreams? The boy slept in the first bed to the left of the door. Lucius entered carefully, stealthily, shielding the candleflame with one hand. He did not wish to wake him, at least not at first. What would he look like in slumber? Lucius pulled the thick velvet curtain back, gazed down at the still form lying before him, so vulnerable, so unaware. Severus was curled on his side, his knees pulled up, like a child protecting itself, like a small animal. His face, in repose, had a look of such indescribable sweetness that it startled him. What had he expected? Petulance? Anger? Resentment? Disgust? The sneering mouth looked gentle now, lips slightly parted, pink and delicate and easily bruised. His eyes, with their long, dark lashes, were closed, his black hair falling in wisps over his cheek. His sallow skin looked somehow softer, in the golden candlelight looked as delicate and touchable as the skin of a girl. His slender body looked fragile also, so thin and small. He could have almost been beautiful. Lucius felt like an incubus, like a demonic ravisher of nightmare and legend. He enjoyed feeling that way. With one finger, he lightly brushed the flesh of the boy's lips, his touch feather-soft and tender. Severus stirred in his sleep but did not wake, and Lucius felt his warm breath on his fingertip, the sensation making him hard again, exciting him. Moving swiftly then, in one fluid motion he put his hand over the boy's mouth, sat down on the bed beside him. Severus's body jerked into wakefulness, his dark eyes opening wide in fear, in panic. Lucius liked seeing that, liked the fear he saw there, liked the feeling of the boy struggling for a moment beneath his hand. "Be still," he whispered. "It's only me. Don't be afraid." He took his hand away, let it rest against the boy's cheek, cradling it gently. "What? Lucius? What are you doing here?" "I've come to see you," Malfoy said, letting his voice caress, imbuing the words with meaning. "You shouldn't be here," Severus said. He looked, for a moment, almost angry. Lucius fought down a momentary flaring of rage. He did not want to win him over by intimidation; how much better, how much more permanent and meaningful it would be to subdue him with flattery, with kindness, to catch him off-guard. "But I wanted to see you," he said softly. "Don't you want me here, Severus?" In response, the boy lowered his eyes, pushed almost imperceptibly against Lucius's hand as it rested against his cheek. He was silent, but the movement had been enough, had been a confirmation. "I've been thinking about you, Severus. I couldn't sleep for thinking about you." It was almost amusing, uttering these lover's words; at least, it would have been amusing -- if a part of him had not felt it so deeply, if the words had not been true. "I've been thinking of what I want to do to you..." Severus looked up at him then, and Lucius felt his own breath grown short and hard, felt his cock swelling uncontrollably, seeing that look of tentative hope, of fear. He could have in that moment roughly fallen upon him, violating him, taking him unexpectedly and brutally in those trembling moments that follow sleep, but he would savor the anticipation of it. He would learn to make himself wait, although it was not really in his nature to do so. "I want you to come to my bed, Severus, tomorrow night. I'll be expecting you." He moved his hand in a caress, brushing the boy's hair back away from his face. "You won't disappoint me, will you?" "Someone might see," Severus whispered, his voice thick and choked with longing. "I don't know if --" "No one will see," Lucius said gently, enjoying the role of seducer. It was all he could do to keep a smirk from forming on his beautiful lips, to keep the laughter out his voice. "There's nothing to worry about," he said. "Everything will be fine." Severus was silent, looking at him intently, and Lucius saw it then, the look of longing and gratitude that he had so desired to see. "Tell me you'll come to me," he said. "Promise me you'll come to me." For a moment, Severus said nothing, and Lucius wanted again to be rough with him, to be brutal, but he forced himself into patience, forced himself to smile tenderly, forced his hand to be gentle, his thumb lightly and seductively to brush against the side of the boy's mouth, as though to remind him what his mouth had done, to remind him of the feeling of his cock there between the parted lips. Severus shuddered slightly, a trembling of arousal and longing. "Promise me," said Lucius again. "I promise," the boy said suddenly. "Tomorrow night. I promise."
