Chapter 14

Clarissa's POV

It was the day of the yule ball. Everyone was rushed of their feet preparing, buzzing around excitably. The hall had been off limits for the past couple of days as the event designers went in to work their magic and the tables were all set out. All of us had been banned from going in there by my mother and aunt.

As soon as the winter morning light entered through the gaps of the curtains, I opened my eyes, smiling. Mattheo was still asleep beside me but I was too excited to leave him peacefully. I reached my hand to his chest and rested it there gently for a second before running my fingers down towards the waist band of his boxers. I saw his mouth twitch as he tried to hide that he was now awake. I moved my hand lower, putting pressure on his already hard cock through the thin material.

His eyes opened as he side glanced at me, grinning. I bit my lip, not saying anything. In one movement, he rolled on top of me, between my legs and used his arms to balance. Leaning down, he started kissing my neck, nibbling at the tender skin. One of his hands found its way under his top that I now claimed as my own and cupped my breast, running his thumb over my erect nipple.

The door swung open and two hyper girls jumped on to the end of the bed.

'Honestly, the fact you two are no longer scared I will kill you is quite irritating' Mattheo grumbled, removing his hand from under my top and pushing himself back to laying beside me. I pursed my lips, trying not to laugh as Darcy and Pansy's faces came in to view. They giggled nervously. I knew they were still slightly afraid but they knew deep down he never would, even before I came along.

'What if I was naked?' He tilted his head to the side, smirking at them, hoping to cause some embarrassment but Pansy was quick to reply.

'Then we would know if Clarissa is exaggerating or not' She looked down at the bulge under the blanket and her eyes widened, her hand flew over them as she quickly turned her head away. 'And I just see she was not'

I burst out laughing as Mattheo chuckled, chucking at pillow at her.

'Get out now' he said sternly but the amusement still slightly there.

'Fine, but Clary, mum and Bellatrix are waiting downstairs for us. we have nails to get done' Darcy smiled, getting of the bed and heading towards the door, dragging Pansy with her, who still had her hand over her eyes.

Once they had left and shut the door behind them, I turned to Mattheo smiling, 'I would say pick up where we left off but...'

'But you don't have time' He groaned, watching me as I climbed out of the bed and headed for the bathroom.

I quickly brushed my teeth and brushed through my hair that was still straight from the day before. Mattheo walked in and leant against the side, grabbing his toothbrush and toothpaste.

'So how long do you have before you have to go?' He asked, grinning before starting to brush his teeth.

'About fifteen minutes, give or take' I replied, not looking away from my reflection.

'Hmm' He shrugged and walked back in to the bedroom, still brushing his teeth. I quickly splashed water on my face and dried it with one of our fluffy towels. Applying a thin coat of mascara, I paused, watching Mattheo walk back in to the bathroom... naked. I couldn't take my eyes off his toned physique. My eyes drifted down and he knew I was staring but walked past me and turned the water on in the shower. I turned back to the mirror, applying my lip balm. I watched his reflection as he walked up behind me, grinning. Pressing him self against my back, I felt how hard he now was. He reached over and rinsed his toothbrush off then placed it back in its holder. His hand skimmed my waist as he pulled it back, but instead of stepping away he reached his hand down and ran it up my inner thigh.

'You sure you don't have time?' He purred in to my ear, gliding his fingers over my entrance and towards my clit.

'Mhhmm' I hummed, closing my eyes and putting both hands on the counter to steady myself. He knew his slightest touch was all I needed to get me wanting more. His lips moved towards my neck, nibbling on the tender skin, sending sparks to my stomach. A small moan escaped my mouth as his fingers circled around my clit and I felt his grin.

'Shame you have to go so soon' He pulled his hand away and my eyes shot open. He was backing away, an arrogant smile plastered across his face as he stepped in to the open shower. I watched as the water fell down his body, turning me on more. This is how he wanted to play it?

I hid my smile as I took his top off, revealing my naked body underneath. His eyes widened hungrily and he licked his lips as I stepped closer to the shower. I stepped in but not in the line of the water. He reached out to touch me but I moved quicker to the temperature dial, turning the water cold.

'What the fuck' He cried out.

'Thought you best cool off' I laughed, struggling to get the words out. As I stepped back to run, he grabbed my wrist, pulling me in to the icy stream with him. As soon as the water hit me, I squealed in displeasure. His laugh echoed through out the bathroom and I pushed myself away from him, scowling. I quickly wrapped one of the large towels around me while he turned the temperature back up.

'You might as well get in here now' He grinned, eyes still dancing with amusement.

'No, I'm having one when I get back.' I stuck my tongue out at him and walked in to the bedroom to get dressed. I chucked on my black leggings and a cute white cropped top.

The water stop in the bathroom and I quickly ran towards the door before he could try to get me to stay again.

'No kiss goodbye?' I paused as I reached for the handle and turned to see him standing in the door way, towel wrapped round his hips, water glistening over his abs.

'Fine, but no funny business' Sighing, I walked over to him and his arm reached out pulling my close to his body. I could feel the droplets on his chest soaking through my top and as he kissed me, water dripped from his brown curls on to my cheek. His kiss deepened and I grinned in to it, knowing he couldn't help himself.

'Stop,' I pushed him back lightly and he gave me his devilish smirk that made my stomach flip and want him more. 'I'm going'

'fine' He left out an exasperated sigh and let go of me. 'I have shit I need to get sorted anyway.'

'See you tonight then' I kissed him softly then walked out the door.

Mattheo's POV

'And everything is set up ready for after the bonfire?' Draco asked, adjusting his tie.

'Yep, Mattheo just needs to do the rest' Blaise replied, putting on his suit jacket.

'The girls definitely don’t know about this? I cant have Clarissa suspecting anything' I looked at the three of them, all ready for that ball.

'As far as we know they are all clueless' Draco smirked, 'all too busy with the ball preparations to take notice of what we have been up to this week' I grinned back at him. We had never been sneaky before. Usually, I didn't care about getting caught doing anything, but this had to be kept under wraps.

I looked at myself in the mirror and ran my fingers through my hair. I did love a good tailored suit; it was my favorite thing to wear for sorting out business. But tonight, was a different kind of business, if you could even call it that. An unfamiliar feeling rushed through me, my stomach churned and I felt my breathing get heavier. Was this nervousness? I didn't get nervous, not ever. I brushed it off quickly, putting it down to the secrecy and lit a cigarette.

'Lets go down and have a drink before the girls join us' They nodded and followed me.

------------------------------------

Standing at the bar with a glass of my favorite bourbon, I scanned the room, looking at all the guests. All the women had ball gowns on and a lot of the older men were in traditional dress robes. Their sons not quite old school though and were in suits. I looked over at my father, chatting to Greyback and his son. I liked the man; he had no conscience. He wasn’t a death eater but my father used him when he didn’t want his or my own hands to get dirty. His son, Felix, on the other hand, I loafed. He was always trying to live up to his fathers standards but when it came down to it he was a pussy. Pathetic really.

Standing next to Felix was that last person I would have expected to see here. Lavender. The boys noticed too as they looked at me, silently questioning what to do. I continued to look at Lavender, catching her eye. She smiled and winked. My eye brows raised, surprised but secretly impressed she had the audacity to do that.

'She has her memories back' I smirked.

'What do you want us to do? Get rid of her?' Reid quickly questioned.

'No, find out what she remembers.' I finished my drink and held up my hand for the bar tender to bring me another while Reid made his way over to the girl. He took her arm, dragging her a couple of meters away from Felix who looked like he had swallowed a wasp. He wouldn't dare say anything to Reid, he knew I would kill him if he did.

The bar tender passed me other another drink and I knocked it back again. Reid walked back over to us as I watched Lavender go back to Felix.

'You're right, she has her memories of that night back but I don’t know how.' he said in a low voice.

'And she's crazy enough to come here after what Clarissa wanted to do?' Draco scoffed, slightly impressed like I was.

'We best keep them away from each other then.' Blaise said, shaking his head.

'Speaking of Clarissa,' Reid nodded towards to doors and I turned to see Bellatrix walk through. Darcy entered soon after with Pansy. Behind pansy was the most beautiful sight I had ever seen.

Her red hair was pinned back with a few loose curls falling naturally round her face. She had light make up on but it was a classic look. Her dress... Her crimson dress was stunning, hugging her curves before falling to the floor. Around her wrist was a black ribbon tied in to a bow, what I assume covered her Fae mark. I couldn't take my eyes off her, she looked perfect standing there. Like an angel in the devils clothing.

'You gonna go over to her or shall I?' Reid nudged me, jokingly, bringing me back. I smiled as she locked eyes with me and made my way over to her.

'You... you look.. Beautiful' I must have looked like a fool, not being able to get the words I wanted out. I watched as her cheeks slightly pinked and she looked down. I lifted her chin and kissed her gently, not wanting to smudge her red lips.

'You don't look too bad yourself Riddle' She smiled then kissed me again.

The music changed, playing the song for the first formal dance and people started clearing the floor.

'You ready?' I took her hand and started walking her to the center.

'Why are we the only ones?' She tugged back nervously but I smiled gently at her, offering my reassurance.

'They will all join in soon. As the host, well son of the host, I have to start to allow others to join.'

'You have always done this?' She looked at me confused.

'Fuck no, I'm 18 now though so have to take over from my father' Pulling her closer so her body was flush with mine, I felt her trembling slightly. 'Just like we practiced' Kissing her gently, I stepped back and held out my hand. She delicately placed hers in mine and her other ran over my suit jacket to my shoulder. Her eyes wondered around the room, aware of everyone staring at us. She hated the attention, the whispers of the crowd. Few knew that she was the daughter of Bellatrix. Most wondered who the beauty was, that had captured my heart. I touched her chin softly, bringing her emerald eyes to meet mine.

'Just keep your eyes on mine' I whispered softly and she smiled, letting out the breath that she had been holding. I took the first step forward and she stepped back naturally, not looking away. As we fell in step, the rhythm controlling our movements, I felt her loosen as she became less nervous. For a moment, I was aware of others joining us on the floor but they soon dissolved away. It was just her and I, alone.

The formal dance was over, but I didn’t want her to leave just yet. My hand reached further round her waist as I pulled her closer once again, not wanting any space between us. Her head rested on my chest and I leant my own down to kiss hers. Even as the tempo of the music picked up, we remained swaying softly, enjoying the closeness between us.

The moment was short lived. A light tapping on my shoulder drew my attention to the others in the room. I turned my head to the person I now wanted to beat to a pulp for disrupting us, Felix. Clarissa raised her head too and stepped back but didn’t let go of my hand.

'What?' There was venom in my voice and Clarissa gave my hand a light squeeze, warning me to calm it.

'Sorry to disrupt but our fathers would like to discuss some business with you' His slimy grin angered me more.

'You can tell them I’m busy' I turned back to Clarissa, pulling her in as she smiled sweetly up at me.

'They insisted' He placed his hand on my shoulder firmly and I felt myself tense. I pursed my lips and closed my eyes. It took all the control I had not to punch him. I opened them again and looked down at Clarissa who was now grinning, biting down on her plump red lip, knowing that I was getting agitated. She found this amusing. I let out a soft chuckle, shaking my head at her then let go of her hand.

'I'll keep the lady company' Felix held his hand out to her but before I could say anything, Clarissa spoke.

'Thank you for your offer but I'm going to find my friends.' She was never that polite with me and I knew it was fake. I smiled to myself and quickly kissed her hand before watching her disappear in to the crowd.

My father was standing at the bar on his own as I approached him. I quickly scanned around to see if Greyback was close by but he wasn't. His son was now gone too. I rolled my eyes and stood next to my father, raising my hand to signal a drink from the bar tender.

'I'm guessing you didn't want to see me to discuss business?' I exasperated.

'No, you should know better than that on the night of the yule ball.' He looked at me questionably.

'hmm' I nodded my thanks at the bar tender as he passed me my drink.

'Everything sorted for tonight?' He took a sip of his own drink as I looked out in to the crowd, scanning it for two people but couldn't see either.

'yes' the reply came a bit abrupt but I was pissed at Felix.

'Well, I'm going to ask that stunner over there for a dance' He pointed his glass towards someone that I wished he hadn't.

'Father, please don't fuck my girlfriends’ mother' I glared at him as he winked and headed towards Bellatrix, taking her hand and leading her on to the dance floor. The yule ball was the only time my father would actually get drunk, and every year a lucky lady would leave his room Christmas morning. I turned my gaze away from them towards the optics behind the bar, silently praying that Clarissa wouldn't have to witness her own mothers walk of shame in the morning.

'You alright mate' Draco stood beside me and Reid came to the other side. 'Thought you was with Clary?'

'Lost her when Felix interrupted us' I laughed lightly at what a dick he was.

'She's with Pansy in the bathroom' Darcy stated, walking over to us with Blaise, his arm wrapped round her waist. I proceeded to tell them about Felix lying about a business chat with his father and mine. It seemed like it was just in the hopes to get a dance from Clarissa.

'And you're just letting him get away with that?' Reid questioned

'Of course not' I looked at him, disgusted. 'But this is Clarissa's first ball and I'm not going to ruin it for her.' I clocked Felix walking over to his father. 'But I may pay him a visit in a couple of days' The evil grin crept on my face and the boys laughed.

'Hey Theo' the shrill voice made me grimace.

'Lavender' I turned my head to her, giving a polite nod then faced forward again.

'Beat it skank' Darcy spat at her, having her friends back who wasn't here to currently have her own. Lavender ignored her and stood in front of me, blocking my view. I let out an exasperated sigh and looked down at her.

'What do you want?'

'I thought maybe we could pick up where we left it last time' she said, trying to make her voice sultry but instead sounded like a twat.

Reid scoffed beside me, 'Did you not learn from last time little girl?'

She shrugged, moving closer towards me. Darcy looked like she was about to pounce but Blaise tightened his grip round her waist.

'I just think that maybe that kiss made you want me more' tip toeing her fingers up my arm, she put her mouth close to my ear. 'I just want to show you that I have more experience than a virgin'

'Desperation really isn't a good look Lavender' I kept my voice low, hiding my irritation. Draco cleared his throat beside me and I twisted my neck to look at him. He nodded towards the space behind Lavender and I followed his eye line only to be disrupted by a scream. Lavender’s head was yanked backwards, away from me, by her blonde curls. Her dull blue eyes that were in front of me were replaced with Clarissas’ big green ones that were now full of fire. She had the same expression I did when I was full of rage, there was no pulling her out of it.

She turned round and punched Lavender once in the nose, knocking her to the floor. I was impressed, I had never seen her fight before. The last time she wanted to hurt Lavender, she had used magic.

'Ohh' Reid bit on to his fist grinning, clearly as impressed as I was. We all stood and watched as Clarissa hitched up her dress and straddled her, yanking her head up and hitting it back down on the floor hard. Lavenders screams could be heard echoing around the hall, grabbing the attention of many that were now starting to watch as Clarissa repeated the move. No one was stopping her, no one would dare touch the girlfriend of Voldemort’s psycho son.

Draco snorted with laughter at his cousin as she punched her in the nose again, this time drawing blood that splattered on to her own face. Lavenders arms flailed about wildly, trying to defend herself but Clarissa was too quick, missing that slaps that were coming her way. 

She started to stand, straitening out her dress. 'I'll give you a chance to get up and fight' Stepping to the side, she didn’t take her eyes of Lavender. I waited for her to start getting up but she didn't. Instead, she rolled over on to her stomach and tried to crawl away. That pissed Clarissa off.

'I said fight, not crawl away like a little bitch' She ripped the ribbon of her wrist and leaped on to Lavenders back. Wrapping the ribbon around the escaping girls’ neck, she pulled back roughly. I looked away, laughing. Fuck this girl turned me on with just a look but seeing her like this was something different. My focus turned to the faces watching her. Many looked shocked, fellow death eaters looked impressed. Bellatrix, who currently had my fathers arm draped over her shoulder, was looking proudly at her daughter. Draco, Reid and Blaise were all watching, grinning, loving the show.

'Mattheo' Darcy placed her hand on my crossed arms. 'Are you going to stop her?' I looked down at the most perfect woman I had ever met, watching the devilish grin widen on her face as she bit down on her lip and pulled the ribbon tighter.

'Mattheo, she's going to kill her' Darcy said, stating the obvious.

'She's having fun' I shrug and go back to watching her. Lavenders lips were turning blue as her eyes were rolling to the back of her head, losing consciousness.

'She isn't like you Mattheo. If she kills her, she will never forgive herself' Darcy warned and I rolled my eyes, knowing she was right. I downed the rest of my drink and placed the glass on the bar. I walked over to the two girls and stood behind Clarissa. Wrapping my arms around her waist, I attempted to lift her off but she still had hold of the ribbon that was now cutting in to Lavenders neck.

'Clarissa, let go of the ribbon' I couldn't stop myself from laughing as I said it. She ignored me and carried on pulling as hard as she could with me pulling her back, giving her the extra strength she needed.

'Clarissa, let go now' I growled in her ear, showing her I was serious and she let go still screaming incoherent words at the now passed out girl on the floor.

I threw her over my shoulder, walking towards the exit and leaving the others to clear up after her. Once we had got to the kitchen, I set her down on the side near the sink.

'You calm now?' I smirked at her but she didn’t answer. Her big eyes burned in to mine as she bit her lip, the sadistic grin still on her usually angelic face.

She noticed me looking at her lips and grabbed hold of my tie, pulling me to her, crashing her lips against mine. This girl was like me, she needed something to take her frustration out on.

Her kiss got rougher as her hands pulled at my belt buckle. Succeeding in her mission to unbuckle it, she moved on to the zip. My hands found their way under her dress, pushing it up to her thighs. She lifted herself and I pushed it higher, exposing her lace underwear. Her hand reached down again, releasing me from my underwear. I kissed her neck as I removed her underwear.

Grabbing her hips, I pulled her towards me. She was almost hanging over the edge of the counter but I kept her in place. I watched as she threw her head back in pleasure when I pushed in to her. Hearing her gasp and feeling her clench around me so soon made me groan. I thrust in to her again and she let out a moan. Thrusting continuously, her moans started to turn to screams.

'You need to be quiet' I panted, knowing that anyone could walk in at any second or could even be outside the door. She ignored me, the pleasure taking over her. I pressed my hand over her mouth trying to muffle the sound. My other hand remained around her hips, holding her still as I pushed deeper in to her. I felt her start to tighten around me, drawing closer to her orgasm and I felt mine coming.

I pulled her body closer to mine as I pounding in as fast as I could. My hand was still over her mouth as my face buried in to her neck, muffling my own groans. I fucked her through her orgasm and through my own.

Her body went limp in my arms as I held on to her still, kissing her neck gently but pulling out slowly. I lifted my head and watched as she opened her eyes, blushing slightly.

'Better?' I asked, grinning at her. She pressed her lips together and nodded shyly. I quickly pulled my trousers back up, leaving my shirt untucked. She hopped of the counter before I could help and sorted her underwear out then adjusted her dress.

'Shall we get rid of that blood on you face now?' I rubbed my thumb over the dried-on blood and she nodded again.

Dampening a cloth, I started wiping the specs of blood off.

'Umm Mattheo?'

'Hmm' I finished removing the blood and chucked the cloth in the sink

'Is she dead?' Her eyes were searching mine for a truthful answer.

'I don't think so, she will probably be fine in the next couple of days' I shook my head, not really knowing if she was ok or not.

'Oh, shame' My eyebrows rose in shock at the word that just came out of her mouth. I laughed as I reached in to my suit jacket pocket, getting out a cigarette and sparking it up.

'Come on, we've got some where to be' I took her hand, leading her out the kitchen. Instead of walking towards the main hall, back to the ball, I headed for the main doors.

'Where we going?'

'There is some where we all sneak of to during the night' Taking of my jacket, I draped it over her shoulders, making sure she had some warmth till we got to where we was meant to be. 'You will love it' I took her hand and opened the huge oak doors.
