This is my (belated) response to Day 23 of Sinistra Black's "Sheherazad" challenge. When I saw my prompt I knew that it had to be a Rena drabble.
"To hold you in my arms after we make love..."
It was always glorious, being with Luna. She gave herself to him absolutely and Remus found that it was sublime- being so close to her physically and spiritually- so much so that afterwards he couldn't stand the thought of letting go of her slender, graceful body. The idea of any distance separating them was unthinkable, and he needed Luna to know exactly how much he cared for her.
Pulling the sheets closer around her shoulders, Luna gave Remus a smile that was sleepy yet full of her elfin mystique- so much so that it seemed she had read his mind- and wriggled closer to his side. Knowing that she felt exactly as he did, Remus placed a hand on the smooth, warm curve of her back. Luna sighed softly, her breath causing the hairs on his chest to bow ever so slightly.
"Remus?" There was a dreamy quality to her voice that made him feel more at liberty than anything ever before in his life. As she spoke again Remus felt as though his world had been filled with only the most wonderful of feelings. "I love you."
"I love you too, sweetheart." Remus spoke quietly, perfectly at ease with his surroundings. He lifted his free hand and gently combed his fingers through Luna's hair until her breathing slowed, letting him know that she was asleep. He wondered what incredible scenarios she would dream of, watching Luna's expression change slightly, her features bathed in a pale river of moonlight. There was no feeling Remus adored more than that of her lying relaxed beside him, one arm slung across his ribs and the other nuzzled underneath her cheek- well, not including what had exhausted them in the first place.
Cocooned in the darkness of the night and content that Luna was every bit as happy as he was, Remus allowed himself to sleep.
Thanks for reading. Please review.
