Chapter 6

Later that night, when the tears had ceased to fall and the painful memories seemed to be put to rest, Farrah gazed at Remus who still sat there, holding her tightly.

"I don't want to be alone tonight." she said, almost whispering it.

"You won't be." Remus said quietly as he brushed his lips over hers. She allowed him to, following his teasing lips till their mouths formed a solid bond.

They felt their lips mold together, one solid moving force that propelled emotions straight to their hearts. Nothing could have prepared either of them for this, and yet they welcomed it with open and saddened arms.

They stood up, and Remus took her hand in his and led her up to where she'd be sleeping.

The stairs seemed to go forever, a neverending sea of painful steps.

All he had to do to reassure himself of what he had found, was to simply squeeze her hand and feel her squeeze back.

When they'd reached the room, Remus pushed open the door and Farrah walked in, staring around the moonlit room and over to the bed.

"Remus?" she called to him, just as he was about to leave.

He turned, his eyes filled with tears.

"I want you to stay with me, please...don't go."

He stepped back into the room and closed the door behind him, walking quietly up to her, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"I'll stay." he said, kissing her lips once more, and allowing her hands to brush over his shirt, gently unbuttoning it.

She looked up into his eyes, pain fading away slightly and desire filling it's place. She loosened the last button on his shirt and slid it off his shoulders.

He reached his hands behind her and unzipped her dress, pulling the straps off her shoulders and watching as the dress slid slowly to the floor. Kissing her neck he allowed his mouth to explore every crevice, every bit of smooth warm skin he could find.

Farrah pulled off his belt and let it slip gingerly from her hand and onto the rug sitting on the floor.

Opening his pants, she never let her eyes leave his, a constant reminder of what they wanted. Desire seemed to flow through her in amounts too high to imagine, and she couldn't tear her eyes of his.

Letting his pants fall to the ground, he stepped out of them and nudged them aside. They stood, facing eachother, only inches apart.

Remus kissed her forehead and breathed in the sweet scent of jasmine in her hair. Relaxing his muscles, he let himself fall into oblivion in her arms.

He unhooked her bra and watched silently as it fell softly to the floor. He gently nudged her back and she fell slowly onto the bed, allowing his soft tongue to caress her stomach and her chest.

He slid off her panties and climbed on top of her, letting her crawl towards the head of the soft bed. The satin covers scraped softly over their smooth skin and Remus slid his mouth onto hers, kissing her gently and slowly.

She slid off his boxers and looked into his eyes.

The only thing she saw in them was undescribable. His hazel eyes held desire and need, but compassion and something she couldn't quite name. She felt relief wash through her as she realized what it was that she saw. It was love.

Remus began to gently run his hands down her body, slowly caressing every inch of exposed skin he could find. He couldn't believe what his heart was screaming out to him. He couldn't believe that he had finally found it. His mate.

He placed his hand down in her and began to slowly move in, causing her to gasp quietly and kiss him. She pulled away softly and bit her lip, feelings of love and devotion spurring up in her heart for him.

She felt a ball of heat form in her and explode, sending her falling through waves of scarlet.

Remus then placed his mouth on hers, crushing her into a kiss that was so filled with compassion that Farrah felt herself moaning softly at every turning point.

He felt courage build in him and the desire to have her fueling him on. He slid into her, one swift movement that caused her to gasp and run her hands through his light brown hair.

He moved slowly in and out of her, moving with every moan that escaped her lips. He was fueled by her smell and hungered by her taste. He felt himself fall over the edge of passion everytime he looked into her eyes.

Forever couldn't have been long enough. Forever didn't seem long enough. Remus felt the need to be with her, just as they were, moving as one in a sea of overwelming emotions, for the rest of all eternity.

Farrah felt heat rising again in her and looked at Remus, and she could tell that he was on the edge. He thrust in her one last time, and crushed his mouth down on hers as white hot heat burst through them, causing them both to be breathless.

She pulled out of the kiss, gazing up into Remus' tired and love filled eyes, and never felt more aware of who she was and what her heart longed for.

She had longed for him, and now she had him. Nothing could have been more complete or perfect.

He laid down next to her, wrapping her up tight in his arms.

"I can't describe how I'm feeling, Remus," Farrah said softly. Remus looked at her and felt love pour through her eyes and bore into his soul. "but I think the feeling is....love." she finished, feeling tears well in her eyes again.

Remus felt his heart fill to it's utmost as he kissed her again, showing her his feelings through a passionate kiss.

"Do you believe in soul mates, Farrah?" he asked quietly, looking seriously into her eyes.

"Yes."

"That's all I needed to know."
