START OF SMUT!

"Remus," she began, slowly setting her quill down. "What are you doing?"

A low growl rumbled from inside of his chest which made her extremely wet, though she'd never admit it out loud. He chuckled. He could smell it.

She sat up on the bed, extending her legs and crossing her ankles, using her arms to prop herself up as she decided to have fun and play with his wolfish instincts, "See something you want?"

He growled louder, more urgently. She smirked at the state she was able to put him in with just four small words. The bulge in his jeans grew more defined.

Suddenly, he sprang at her, surprising Hermione and making her squeal. He landed just in front of her and sat on all fours, kind of like a puppy. He lightly pushed on her shoulders, making her lay back down. Ever so slowly, he leaned over her body and kissed her softly. His fingers made quick work of her shirt as she traced her tongue over his lips.

With a whimper, she attempted to pull his shirt off, but failed. Remus chuckled as he pulled it over his head and threw it to some unknown position of the room. While he did that, she pulled her own jeans off and pushed them off the bed. Seeing that, he grinned and pulled his off to join hers.

The pull in him to just bite her was so strong he could barely stand it, but he knew he must. He had to do this the right way. He wouldn't let himself be an animal. He couldn't.

The image beneath him rendered all other thoughts to be useless and unnecessary. Maddie's creamy skin was slightly flushed pink beneath her lacy white bra and panties. Her curly brown hair was spread around her perfect blushing face like the mane to her gorgeous lioness self. A feral grin became his lips as he once again took possession of hers between his teeth, nibbling and suckling on them until she was squirming beneath his fingertips.

He swiftly removed her bra and latched his mouth quickly onto the uncovered flesh. Her moans became mewls under his actions and he loved it, particularly what it did to his growing erection. Hermione grabbed his face in her hands and pulled it up to her lips where she nearly attacked his mouth with hers. Yanking his face from hers, he backed away with a grimace, knowing he wouldn't be able to hold out much longer, and nearly ripped her panties from her body. His came off a moment later.

Without giving either her or his mind a moment to process what was happening, he thrust into her, surprising her with a not entirely enjoyable pain. She wasn't a virgin by any means, but she'd certainly never had someone so...big between her legs before. It hurt.

Eventually she got used to the feeling and Remus set up a fast rhythm she was helpless to do anything but meet. It wasn't a gentle lovemaking like what her fantasies had always told her it was going to be, but her fantasies had also never involved a marking, and a rather large part of herself was worried about that part.

However, that piece of her worrying self was growing smaller exponentially with each thrust. Her moans became shouts and shouts became screams as the pleasure built beyond anything her body had ever felt before. No man had ever done this to her.

Remus, knowing he couldn't fight it anymore, leaned forward into the junction of where her neck met her shoulder, opened his mouth to rest on the skin, and began to thrust harder. It didn't take her long to fall over the blissful edge, screaming his name for the world to hear as sparks flew behind her eyes and waves of pleasure reached even her fingertips.

END OF SMUT!

It was at that moment he bit.

She barely registered the pain, being too lost in the pleasure of the moment. Another sort of building was coming inside of her, but this one was of a magical sort. It was the bonding, she realized. She could feel his presence inside of her head, but knew neither could actually hear anything inside of the other's minds. Just a presence of emotion.

It was wonderful.

Remus looked up into the face of his mate, smiling, only to frown at the sight before him, "Love, why are you crying?"

Hermione reached up and touched her face, feeling the wetness there, "I don't know."

He leaned forward and kissed her with the tenderness she had been waiting for, "Did I hurt you?"

"Not at all," she laughed. "It was wonderful. You are wonderful. I love you, Remus."

"I love you too, Madelynne."

Reality ruined the moment.

It's REALLY short, I know, but there was no way I could extend this without making it sound like crap with the next part coming up. There's only a few chapters left, five or less, so prepare yourselves for some tears (or, well, at least myself. I'm an easy crier when I'm writing). Hope you enjoyed the smut, for those of you who read it. I wrote it at 2 a.m., so...yeah. 'nuff said.
