Chapter Eight: A Night Of Passion

The title says it all really... doesn't it...?

It was late afternoon; almost dark by the time that Remus found Sirius who had found a, really nice, quiet glade with a bubbling brook flowing through it. When he saw Sirius lying with one arm resting over his eyes in the dappled shade Remus stopped in uncertainty; nervous about what it was that he was planning. He knew what he wanted; Sirius, and now he was willing to give in to his desire but only if Sirius once more voiced his offer.

'Uh… Sirius?' Remus tried to say but it came out as little more than a whisper because of how nervous he was.

So Remus swallowed a couple of times; trying to wet his throat and build up the courage he needed for what he hoped would happen.

'Uh… Sirius?' this time it came out louder than before but there was still a slight shake to it.

When he heard Remus say his name Sirius uncovered his eyes slightly so that he could look at Remus and an amused little smile graced his lips when he noticed how nervous Remus was. Obviously Remus was still a little jittery from their kiss earlier and Sirius had no intentions of letting him pretend that it had never happened. After all, that would spoil his revenge.

'What's wrong Remus; have you come to take me up on my offer?' said Sirius wickedly, knowing that Remus would say "no" but he'd keep at it until Remus agreed.

'Um… actually… yes, I have' said Remus in relief causing Sirius to sit up and look at him in shock at his totally unexpected answer.

'You have?' asked Sirius in stunned disbelief.

'Uh… yes?' replied Remus, a little unsure of Sirius' reaction.

'You do remember what it is I offered, don't you?' said Sirius suspiciously.

'Uh… yes?'

'So you remember that I offered to have sex with you if you wanted me too?'

'Uh… yes?'

'Let me get this straight! You, Remus Lupin, have come to take me, Sirius Black, up on my offer and have sex; right?'

'Uh… yes… why, don't you want to anymore?' asked Remus almost angrily; all his fears gone when he thought that maybe Sirius hadn't been serious and was just pulling a practical joke.

'Yes of course I want to! It's just that I didn't expect you to agree to it so soon, that's all' replied Sirius hurriedly, then as Remus just stood there watching him, Sirius felt a little nervous at the thought of what he was agreeing too.

'Okay than' said Remus with a growl; as he fought the animal urge to pounce on Sirius.

'Okay' agreed Sirius with a nod and then as Remus slowly begun to walk towards him Sirius gulped and added 'Just remember that I'm new at this too, okay Remus?'

At Sirius' words Remus stopped in his tracks and studied his friend and he realized that Sirius was just as nervous as he was about all of this. Though he was trying to play it "cool" by leaning back on his hands and acting as though it didn't bother him; Remus wasn't fooled. So Remus gave a nod in understanding and started walking again. Once he'd reached Sirius' side Remus just stood there, shifting his weight slightly from foot to foot; unsure as to what he should do now. Sirius of course was no help; he just raised one eyebrow delicately in expectation. It was at this stage that Remus decided that it would probably be best if he let his instincts take over.

Remus ran the fingers of his left hand through his hair in uncertainty; wondering if he was really willing to do this. If he really was willing to just let go and to stop thinking. Suddenly Remus noticed that it had gotten darker incredibly fast and when he glanced up at the sky it was to see that it was covered in thick, roiling clouds. Were the clouds because of him; because of his indecision? Well… there was only one way to find out. With new determination Remus released the hold he usually kept on his instincts; which kept him from acting before he'd thought things through properly, too bad he couldn't say the same thing for some people he knew.

Remus moved until he stood with one leg on either side of Sirius and then he sat down; effectively straddling Sirius. Sirius' eyes widened slightly in surprise when Remus straddled him; for he was still waiting for Remus to change his mind and run away. But it seemed that Remus was full of surprises today and Sirius was more than curious to see how far Remus was willing to go.

Before he could change his mind Remus grabbed Sirius' head between his hands and brought their lips together in a crushing kiss. Remus' apprehension faded away as Sirius returned the kiss fiercely. Still listening to his instincts Remus did to Sirius what Sirius had done to him only that morning; he nipped Sirius' bottom lip and then ran his tongue along it causing Sirius to give a delighted gasp at this unexpected action. When Sirius gasped his mouth opened slightly and Remus took this opportunity to slip his tongue into Sirius' mouth.

As Remus' tongue slipped into his mouth and begun to caress his, Sirius was shocked by Remus' tenacity; shocked yes but not bothered. It seemed that Remus had meant it when he'd said that he'd come to take Sirius up on his offer; perfect. By this time tomorrow Remus should have learnt that you do not mess with a Black or you'd suffer the consequences. But enough of serious thoughts decided Sirius; it was time to have some fun. So Sirius banished his thoughts and started to run his tongue along Remus' in return.

Remus had begun to think that maybe Sirius really had been joking about wanting to do this for Sirius was just sitting there; not really doing a thing. Then Sirius' arms came up and wrapped around Remus' waist and Sirius' tongue started to caress his own with increasing fervour. Until the two moist muscles were hungrily testing, tasting each other and their opposite owners mouth.

Sitting as they were, with Remus straddling Sirius' waist, there was no way that either of the young men could fail to notice that the other was aroused. As much as they both wanted to feel each other's bare skin rubbing against each other; they both wanted the for-play to last as long as it could until neither of them could hold back anymore. So Remus moved his mouth from Sirius' and began to lick, nibble and suck his way along Sirius' jaw line and down onto Sirius' neck. As he was exploring the area around Sirius' adams apple, Remus felt the vibrations as Sirius gave a barely audible moan of desire; causing Remus to give a small smile of pleasure.

While Remus had been concentrating on Sirius' neck and the surrounding areas, Sirius had been exploring the toned muscles and scars through Remus' clothes. Now, however, Sirius decided that it was time to get rid of that annoying obstruction. So Sirius moved his hands from Remus' back to his front and up to the top button of Remus' shirt. As Sirius slowly begun to unbutton the shirt he foggily decided that it was a good thing these shirts were buttoned. He did not want to disturb Remus, for he was busy with a sensitive spot just behind Sirius' left ear.

Finally, and after a lot of difficulty, Sirius got the last button undone and he slipped his hands back up Remus' now bare torso; tracing every curve and scar as he went. As Remus felt Sirius' hands on his bare skin a primal sounding growl escaped from between his lips. Once his hands had reached Remus' shoulders; Sirius gently coaxed Remus' arms back slightly so that he could fully remove the shirt. When he felt Sirius remove his shirt rationality returned to Remus for a moment and he hazily wondered if they were doing the right thing. Perhaps it would be best if they tried talking things through first?

'Sirius…?' begun Remus huskily but his voice died in his throat and all thoughts fled once more as Sirius flicked his tongue across the hollow at the base of Remus' neck.

When Remus said his name, Sirius instinctively knew that he was going to try and suggest that they stop what they were doing and talk about it. Sirius couldn't allow this for he knew that if Remus was given the chance then he'd talk himself out of having sex and that would be the end of Sirius' revenge. So Sirius did the only thing he could think of to keep Remus from stopping what they were doing. He flicked his tongue across the hollow at the base of Remus' neck and gave a small smile of satisfaction when Remus stopped talking. Then he licked and nibbled his way down to Remus' left nipple; which he flicked his tongue across before he bit down sharply on it. This made Remus grab his arms painfully and to give a deep throated moan of desire.

When Sirius ignored his efforts to speak and instead went exploring Remus' chest with his tongue; Remus knew that they weren't going to stop and quite frankly he suddenly didn't care. Leaving Sirius to continue what he was doing Remus moved his hands to the top button of Sirius' shirt. Then slowly, a button at a time, Remus begun to unbutton Sirius' shirt until the last one was undone. With the last button undone Remus slowly ran his hands up Sirius' chest causing Sirius to give a deep moan of desire and, without meaning to, to bite down harder on Remus' nipple than he was intending too.

Sirius decided that biting Remus harder than he'd intended might not be such a bad thing when another primal sounding growl rumbled deep within Remus' throat. In fact Sirius decided, as he felt Remus fully remove his shirt, that all this might not be so bad after all. Though he was loath to admit it Sirius had been a little uneasy about his plan; after all he'd never had sex with another male before. But now he was really looking forward to the rest of this night.

As he removed Sirius' shirt it was obvious to Remus that Sirius had gotten distracted for he was no longer paying careful attention to Remus' nipple. But that was okay, Remus decided, for now it was his turn to explore Sirius' body. So Remus placed his hands on Sirius' shoulders and gently, yet firmly, forced Sirius to lie down. Then Remus planted a fierce kiss on Sirius' lips and slowly begun to kiss and lick his way down Sirius' body. Until he reached the left nipple which he grabbed between his teeth and sucked on. Drawing a deep throated moan from Sirius and a breathless exclamation of "Remus!"

Sirius was completely shocked by Remus' actions but he wasn't in the least unhappy with them. In fact he was quite looking forward to everything that was going to happen. But it was more than that for he was well and truly enjoying himself. As Sirius was contemplating all of this it seemed that Remus had gotten bored with his nipple and had decided to move lower. Sirius dug his fingers into the earth and arched his back as he felt Remus' tongue trace along the skin just above his pant line. Sirius was amazed at this change in Remus for he had always been the shy and reserved member of their group but now, oh god, now he was so much more!

Remus had to admit it; he was truly enjoying himself and Sirius' reactions to his actions. With a pleased, private, smile Remus ran his hands with tantalizing slowness down Sirius' chiselled chest until he reached the belt buckle of Sirius' pants. Then, with the same tantalizing slowness, Remus proceeded to undo both the belt and Sirius' pants. With an ease that belied his inexperience Remus removed Sirius' pants, feeling his breath catch when he beheld the full glory that was Sirius naked.

Sirius felt slightly self-conscious when Remus removed his last article of clothing; Fabian hadn't bothered to give them any underwear. Then as Remus just continued to sit there and stare Sirius felt a faint flush enter his cheeks; causing Remus to smirk slightly when he noticed. Then with a devilish smile Remus slowly begun to undo his own belt buckle and pants and proceeded to remove them; causing Sirius to give a deep throated growl of desire at what was revealed. Remus had been turned into a god; thank you Fabian!

Remus gave a pleased little smile at Sirius' reaction and then it turned slightly wicked as he ran one of his hands from just below Sirius' waist and up his chest. Sirius arched his back and gave an almost dog like growl which only made Remus' smile widen as he returned to his straddling position on Sirius' hips. Then Remus pinned Sirius' hands to the ground with his own and locked their lips together in a smouldering kiss. As Remus forced his tongue into Sirius' mouth, deepening the kiss, he slowly began to rock his hips back and forth against Sirius' own. As he continued to slowly rock their hips together, thus causing their bodies to rub against each other, Remus kept his mouth firmly attached to Sirius'. Knowing that if he didn't then the moans and exclamations of "Remus" and "Sirius" that were being dragged from their throats would be loud enough for anything dangerous to hear.

Sirius was totally enjoying himself and he wasn't ashamed in the least for he had already decided that he might as well have some fun before he totally destroyed Remus' spirit. Sirius could feel the pressure in his body building rapidly as Remus continued to rock their bodies together. Which Remus was keeping slow yet constant and Sirius was moving his own hips in time with Remus' movements as the two of them steadily built towards climax.

In fact the two of them were nearly there and their breaths were coming in short gasping bursts. Which were the more difficult to take because Remus still had his lips locked to Sirius' to lessen any sounds they were making. Then within a few rapid moves they both reached their release point and they both collapsed; completely drained.

'Well… that… was fun' said Remus into Sirius' neck; gasping for air.

'Mmm' replied Sirius warily.

'What… do you… want to do… now?'

'Sleep'

'Oh?'

'Yeah… and then… we can talk… in the morning'.

'Okay… night' said Remus rolling off of Sirius and onto his back.

'Night' replied Sirius sleepily; rolling over so that he was snuggled up close to Remus' side.

A small smile of pleasure graced Remus' exhausted features as he wrapped his arms around Sirius' gently snoring frame. With a happy little sigh Remus kissed the top of Sirius' head and soon he too was fast asleep; lost in a world of pleasant dreams. Unknown to both of the young men; Fabian came and watched them for a little while as they slept. Knowing that soon these two would face incredible hardships brought on by the dog boy's reckless plan. Fabian also knew that if these two could not sort everything out within thirteen weeks then he'd have to kill them so that they could start again from the very beginning. So Fabian left; hoping against hope that the two of them would be able to sort everything out between them before it was way too late.
