Title: Masquerade
Rating: G
The cigarette flared when he took a drag, a brief red glow highlighting Charlie's features in the darkness. The woman in his bed huffed softly in her sleep, the formerly restrained brunette curls loose and spread across the pillow.
It was difficult for him to believe that it had only been a few short hours since he'd first seen the tempting goddess at the masquerade party. She was dressed as Artemis, complete with a bow and quiver. He'd been drawn to her, much as he been for the last few years - each meeting feeding the flames of his attraction.
Words were not his strong suit; Bill was the charmer in the family.
Perhaps it was the anonymity of the masquerade that had propelled him across the crowded room to her side. His mask had stayed in place while he wooed her, attentive and appreciative, never letting on that he knew the identity she sought to conceal.
Together they had returned to the room he'd taken, and for the first time Charlie was able to show her everything he'd never been able to say. In the darkness he loved her.
She stirred. "Charlie?"
"Are you disappointed, Hermione?"
Shy and hopeful. "No."
