his eyes darken as he listens to your protests, and suddenly he pulls you even closer, pressing his body against yours more firmly before growling out in annoyance "Don't you ever say that! You're not just some Hufflepuff. You're the one who chose to be with me for a year. And if you can handle this," he says, trailing a finger down your cheek and neck before brushing against your collarbone, "then I think it's time you started acting like it."

his expression softens slightly at your reply and he leans in to kiss you again, this time more gently and tenderly. His hands slide up to cup your face as he deepens the kiss, exploring every curve of your lips and tongue. When he pulls back, his eyes are filled with desire for you

You see...it's not just about me. It's about us. And if we're going to make this work, then we need to learn how to handle each other. So I want you to remember that.
