Mmmmf. Hot and delicious story! Severus was very IC, I can definitely see him acting like this, being an even bigger arse than normal specifically because he's attracted to Harry. It would take something the level of an Imperius to overcome his self control. Good thing love can do that, eh? And I suspect even he's not sorry now that all is said and done. *g* And poor Harry! No wonder he was so confused, what with the mixed signals Severus was sending. Seduction by Parseltongue is one my favorite tropes. Loved this! :)
