On the Balcony by Luvscharlie

No amount of Cooling Charms had proven useful in driving out the heat from their flat and it was too hot to sleep comfortably. This pregnancy, early on though it was, had seemed to make her temperature run about thirty degrees hotter than anyone else.

Hermione made her way to the open doors and stepped out onto the balcony. She had hoped that at least out here there would be a light breeze drifting in the night air. Unfortunately, none was to be found.

She stood gripping the banister when she felt the hair being lifted from the back of her neck and an ice cube being placed there. "Mmm," she said pressing back against him.

"Feel better?" Ron asked

"Much better," she replied, curling her arm behind her to pull his head down for a kiss. Not only had this pregnancy increased her temperature, but her libido was in overdrive as well… not that Ron had complained.

He brought the ice cube around to the base of her throat and the rapidly melting cube trickled down her chest. Ron used the cube to bring first one then the other of her nipples to a hard point. Running it over her bottom lip, he let out a small yip when her teeth nipped his fingertips.

Turning in his arms, Hermione grabbed his wrist and raised his fingers once more to her lips. She sucked the now tiny cube from his fingers. He made a noise deep in his throat and pressed her firmly against the railing. Ron's lips kissed their way down her neck and his fingers slid inside her nightdress.

There was a howl and some rather crude words of encouragement from the flat across the way urging them to continue. It made Hermione giggle and Ron blush. "I think we had best take this inside," he said against her ear.

"Yes, I do think our neighbours have seen quite enough."
