Summary
Malfoy’s hand is unforgiving against her own, squeezing hard enough that it aches. Hermione digs her nails in, knowing the sensitive expanse of his pale skin will be marked for hours.
A fair trade, considering the heavy diamond ring on her finger that feels like a shackle. Her hand and arm still tingle from the binding magic, and she can’t risk looking down at it. She knows if she does, she’ll remember the gold strand that wrapped around her skin, tying them together for the rest of their miserable lives.

Summary
“Witty,” her glass is empty, a useless prop in this exchange. She imagines throwing it against the wall so it shatters right by his head, just to watch him jump.
“I’ve heard.”
“Arrogant, too.”
Their eyes meet.
“Confidence, actually.”
“Semantics.”
He observes her coolly. Her heart pounds in her chest. She wonders where he’ll go in this verbal sparring match, if he’ll push back even further. She’s struck by the sickening thrill of their barbed words, eager to see what he’ll do.
“Nice to meet you,” he says finally, turning on his heel and leaving her in silence.
Matty can't stand Ray, he knows that much. But he admires her. And he finds her devastatingly attractive. And she surprises him at every turn. And he feels an inexplicable urge to catch her when she falls. And, in his moments of weakness, she even brings out a side of Matty that he hasn't seen before - but it's one that he really doesn't like. So, to be clear: he can't stand her.Bookmarked by aelingodkiller

Summary
"'You don’t go for married women.'
'I misspoke - I don’t go for happily married women. Devoted women.'
No attachments, no consequences, just a few nights of uninhibited passion - that's all it was ever supposed to be between them. No longing or dreadful desire, nothing that would prompt a divorce. Just shameless, guiltless sex.
Nothing more."
After a decade of marriage and conflicting life goals, a struggling Hermione and Ron decide to take part in a rather extreme experiment to improve their relationship. Following the guidance of her sister-in-law, Hermione agrees to open their marriage, believing their issues stemmed from a lack of intimacy. But once she decides to participate herself - with a wizard who infuriates her husband like no other - Hermione realises just how recklessly naive they'd been all along.

Summary
How did it feel? It felt like he was barely holding it together. She, of all people, should shun him. Or yell at him. Curse him. Spit at him. Take out her wand and blast him off the face of the earth. It was crushing guilt and relief and confusion all at once when he looked at Hermione Granger.
The monotony of Draco’s daily routine had become both a lifeline and a noose. But this new habit of grabbing coffee with Hermione Granger is quickly becoming a reason to get out of bed and is unfortunately forcing him to re-evaluate his inconsequential existence.
Hermione is living her life in fragments, separate pieces scattered about, and she can’t find a way to step back and let the full picture form. Why are morning meetings with Draco Malfoy the only thing that make sense anymore?Series
