Control
~
For as long as Severus could remember, he’d longed for control, yet had never had it. Tobias had ruled his childhood with his rages and fists, Lucius had controlled Slytherin even after leaving, and Gryffindors controlled Hogwarts.
For a few years after leaving school, Severus thought he controlled his own destiny, seeking glory alongside eaters of death, but the moment Voldemort killed Lily, he’d realised he’d once again been used.
Then Albus had started pulling the strings, with his bloody twinkling and Veritaserum-laced sweets. Severus still couldn’t stomach a lemon drop.
When Harry barged into his life, however, everything changed.

It started slowly. Against all odds, Harry testified on Severus’ behalf, fighting doggedly for Severus’ freedom.
After Severus had been cleared of all charges, Harry continued to visit until, suspicious, Severus confronted him. “What exactly is it you want?”
To his shock, Harry’d simply dragged him close and kissed him soundly before declaring, “You.”
It was only after weeks of seeing Harry daily that Severus finally understood what Harry was offering. And even longer before he accepted it.
And while sex with Harry was glorious, it wasn’t until the night Severus agreed to give up control that it became sublime.

“All right?” Harry murmured, lips grazing Severus’ jaw.
Severus hissed as Harry bit his nipple.
“You like that.”
Severus reluctantly nodded. He loved it, but acknowledging that was difficult. In the past whenever he’d admitted to wanting something, it’d always been confiscated by those in control.
“Say it,” Harry whispered. “Please.” He nuzzled Severus’ neck, clever fingers playing down below.
"Yes," Severus sighed, arching upwards, straining his bindings to get closer. “Yes.”
And, instead of punishing him for his weakness, Harry rewarded him with love and pleasure.
Yes, Harry controlled him utterly, but for the first time, Severus didn’t mind.
