Severus was in no hurry, nodding faintly at Alecto's request and indeed keeping his eyes shut. He took in the sound of her changing clothes, the soft rustle of it, and felt a sort of thrill race through him. She was nude, at some point, not at all far from him and it was impossible not to picture it.
When she touched him he'd worked himself up enough that he jumped, eyes fluttering open slightly but then she'd covered them with his hand. Severus snorted at that and kept his fingers in place, turning toward Alecto and setting that bottle of whiskey aside before he actually took a look.
He was stunned, admittedly, and wet his lips as he tried to think of something to say. Nothing ever occurred to him, or rather, anything proper. Severus swallowed hard and reached out to touch the bottom of that tie and looked at Alecto in an almost predatory fashion.
