A/N: Welcome to chapter 2. Once again, I own nothing except Jamie and the plot bunny that's in its cage after chasing it for half an hour. Enjoy!
Chapter 2: Do You Want Me?
Remus' P.O.V.
--------------------------------
I headed out of the kitchen, humming to myself and feeling silently elated that Jamie felt the same way about me. That means that she didn't like Sirius like I thought she did, but he still likes her. Damn. Well, Jamie and I will cross that bridge when we get to it. Right now, I have a certain girl to attract.
I climbed the stairs, but I stopped halfway up, thinking of my strategy. When I had finally thought of a plan, I smirked again and continued up the stairs. I got to her room, knocked, and her voice said, "Come in."
I stepped into her room and said, "Hey, pet." She was lying on her bed reading a book, but as soon as she saw me, her demeanor changed instantly. She put her bookmark in, closed the book and sat up quickly, playing with a piece of her hair unconsciously as she said, "Hi, Remy. What brings you up here?" I smiled and I said, "I just wanted to sit with you for a bit. I hope you don't mind." She shook her head "no" vigorously, and she patted the spot next to her on the bed, saying shyly, "Have a seat."
I made my way over to the bed, drinking in her body; she had curves in all the right places, and looking at her body like I was made me want to throw her down and take her right there. I controlled myself, and as I neared her bed, I stopped suddenly, putting my plan into action. She frowned slightly, and I said, "Is it me, or is it blistering hot in here?" and I could see that she was itching to blurt out, "IT'S DEFINITELY YOU!" I pulled at my shirt, saying, "May I?" and she nodded, and I smiled and pulled my shirt off and tossed it over her desk chair.
I could feel her retinas burning into my body as she stared at my chest. I was naturally strong, due to the werewolf in me, so I had a nice set of muscles, and I had even started working out, causing a six-pack to start to develop.
I sat next to her on the bed and lay back against the headboard, stretching languidly. I knew my plan was working; I could smell the arousal coming off of her in waves. I closed my eyes and rested, and I knew she was still staring at me. I chuckled, and she said, "What's so funny?" I opened my eyes and looked at her, saying, "Nothing." I could see that she didn't believe me, and she said, "Oh, okay." Then, without warning, she pounced on me and started to tickle me.
I am really, really ticklish, and I instantly yelped and started to laugh as her fingers wiggled into my abdomen and sides, and I tried to grab her hands. We tussled playfully on the bed for a couple of minutes, and somehow (wink wink) I ended up on top of her, holding her wrists down above her head, both of us breathing heavily from laughing. I stared at her intensely, and I reached down and tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear. She immediately stilled, and she tensed slightly as my fingers brushed her lips. I then leaned down slightly, and rested my face in the crook of her neck, saying softly, "You are such a naughty girl." She giggled, but stopped as she felt my lips graze her neck, goose bumps erupting on her skin as she shivered lightly. I then whispered, "I think you need to be punished" and I licked her neck, obviously hitting a soft spot, because she let out a small whimper and her back arched slightly.
She whispered, "Remus, what are you……" but I cut her off, taking one of my hands and running it down her side teasingly. I lifted my head and looked into her eyes, and I said quietly, "You are gorgeous." I saw a small blush bloom on her face, and that just made her all the more beautiful to me. I then reached under her and grabbed her firm ass playfully, making her squeak in surprise, and I said, "Do you want me, pet?" She bit her lip and nodded, and I raked my eyes over her body, saying huskily, "Do you want me to do things to your body that'll leave you panting for more?" She had started breathing heavily, and she closed her eyes as my hands skimmed her thighs, saying, "Gods, Remus, yes."
I then abruptly let her wrists go and sat up, saying, "Maybe another time." Her eyes flew open, and she sat up and spluttered, "But…..I……what?" I grinned impishly, and I said, as I moved closer to her, "I know what you were doing in the kitchen, so I thought I'd pay you back in full." She got as red as a tomato, and she said, "Oh, that. I was only teasing you." I then pretended to think, saying, "Hmmm…..one has to ask though….why?" She then took a deep breath, and she looked me in my eyes and I knew she was about to tell me how she felt.
She then said, "Remus, I have a confession. I…….I'm……." but it was obvious that she was beyond nervous. She then said, "Remus, I'm in love with you. There, I said it. I've been in love with you for years. It started in 3rd year as just a crush, but as I grew and matured, so did my feelings for you. I hope you don't think I'm deluded, because what I feel for you is real. You make me feel like no other guy has before. Just being around you is enough to brighten my day. I think of you when you're not here, and when you are here, I can barely control myself around you. You bring out the best in me, and I just want to be yours."
I blinked a couple of times, letting it all process. Then, her face drooped when I remained quiet, and she said, "It's all right. I understand if you think I'm insane. I know that I should have someone my own age, but……" I stopped her, planting a firm kiss on her lips.
She let out a noise of surprise, but she responded as I kissed her hungrily, my tongue gently pushing its way into her mouth and wrestling with hers. When we finally parted for air, I said, "I never said that I didn't feel the same way, you know." Her eyes lit up, and she said, "You….you like me?" and I shook my head, saying, "No, I don't like you. I love you. I love everything about you; your brains, your beauty and your spirit. You make me laugh, and you're sexy as hell." She blushed, and I continued, "I want to be there for you when you're sad, I want to be able to hold you, cheer you up……I want to be the one to make love to you and hear you scream my name as you come." Her blush deepened, and I rested my forehead against hers, saying, "I'll have you, if you agree to have me as yours."
She let out a whoop of joy and flung herself into my arms, both of us falling back onto the bed and laughing. I then rolled over so I was on top of her, and I said, "I love you, pet" and she smiled wider than I had ever seen her smile, and she leaned up and kissed me, pulling back and saying, "I love you, too, you sexy wolf." I laughed and started to tickle her, and she squealed and thrashed under me, laughing hysterically. She yelled out for me to stop, so I did, and I kissed her, silencing her giggles. We lay on her bed, kissing for hours.
I started to kiss and nibble on her neck, going for that sweet spot that I had licked before, and she arched her back and threaded her fingers through my hair, whispering my name. I placed my hands on her hips and kneaded them gently, and I was rewarded with a slight tug on my hair and her moan of, "Remy….that feels good."
I said, "I love to make you feel good" and she chuckled and said, "I bet you do." I bit into her neck hard enough to leave a small bruise, and she cried out in a mix of pleasure and pain. I then sucked on the spot, making her moan loudly, and she said, "Oh, Remy!" She then looked at me and said huskily, "I can't believe you bit me" and I cocked an eyebrow and said silkily, "I don't really bite much………..unless you want me to." Jamie's eyes widened, and she said, "Remy! You're such a bad wolf." I growled playfully and before she could blink, I lifted her shirt and started blowing raspberries on her stomach, and she squealed and started giggling, saying, "Remy, stop! That tickles! Stop it! No, don't!"
I stopped after I was positive she had suffered enough, and we cuddled on the bed for a while. Then, I sat up and said, "Shit. The Weasleys are coming tonight, aren't they?" and Jamie sat up and nodded, saying, "Yeah. Well, we're gonna have to tell them, aren't we? And Harry, Lily, James, my parents and….." and I cut her off, nodding and saying, "Sirius. Yeah, we will. He likes you, you know." Jamie looked shocked, and she said, "Sirius? Sirius Black? He likes me?" I nodded and said, "That's why he's always flirting with you." Jamie looked puzzled, and she said, "I always thought he was just playing around; I never thought he was serious." She looked at me, her eyes wide with fear, and she said, "I don't wanna hurt him, Remus."
I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her to me, saying, "I know you don't, pet, but you can't help who you love." Jamie sighed and said, "I guess you're right" and I said, "Of course I am. Now let's go, dinner's probably almost done." We climbed off the bed, and I took Jamie's hand and led her from her room out on the landing. Before we went downstairs, I pulled her to me and planted a quick kiss on her lips. Then, winking at her, I led her downstairs to the kitchen to face everyone and tell them that we loved each other. I just hoped Sirius and Nathan, Jamie's father, would understand; I don't want to lose two of my best friends.
