    Summary

    This is a continuation of my story 'Afterwards.' Hermione and Severus go to Venice where Hermione attends university and Severus goes to work for an influential count. Their relationship takes a turn into the land of kink. No consent violations here. The kink will be a slow build with the romance continuing between Hermione and Severus. Vanillas, feel free to dip your toes into the kinky side of the pool with this story, and your comments are always welcome.

    Summary

    Hermione returns to Hogwarts after the war to earn her NEWTs and falls in love with her least favourite professor. This story is a long slow burn. If you want to skip to the action I suggest starting at chapter 37. This fic is complete. The story continues in part 2: Hermione and the Philosopher King.

    Summary

    Viktor is having the worst day of his life, oversleeping and late for work. To make things even better, he rear ended the car in front of him. His attitude quickly changes when he lays eyes on the other driver.

    “I'm so sorry!” the other driver said when he reached Viktor.

    He held a hand up to him, silently asking him to wait. The receptionist finally answered the phone and directed his call to his boss. Once he informed her he'd be late and no, he didn't know what time he'd be in, he hung up and turned his attention to the other driver.

     

    Well, well, what do we have here?

     

    The man was shorter than him by a few inches, jet black hair that was slicked back with a bit of gel. His glasses left something to be desired, but Viktor admired those large chocolate brown eyes. His lightly tanned skin was unblemished and looked so soft that Viktor wanted to run his hand along his cheek. His body looked enticing as well, but it was hard to tell from the overcoat he was wearing.

    Simply put, he was fucking gorgeous.
