Chapter 5

They Apparated with a pop outside Lika's closed door and Remus tried to calm his racing heart. Sirius knocked before Remus was ready; he shot his friend a dirty look as the door opened and Sirius shoved him through. With a pop Sirius Disapparted, leaving him quite alone with Lika sitting on the bed with a smile on her face.

"Remus! Hello." she said happily.

Remus stared at her a moment and watched her smile welcomingly. He took in her tattered appearance and felt like a knife had been plunged into his gut. No, I take it back being stabbed probably feels better than this at the moment. His eyes roamed over her bruised face to the blood spattered blouse she still wore. It was torn in several places and her cuts were clearly visible under the fabric. She had deep gashes on her left arm and the left side of her rib cage. He crossed over to her and flung himself to his knees and began sobbing into her lap.

"Lika. I'm sorry I did this to you. So very sorry. If only you knew how bad I felt." He choked out.

"I do know Remus. It's ok. I know it wasn't you. You couldn't help it and I know that. Please don't blame yourself. I'm ok. No harm done." she said as she softly stroked his hair as he cried into her lap, soaking her skirt with tears. He jerked up abruptly and looked at her with anger in his eyes.

"For Merlin's sake. Don't be so accepting. Get mad. I almost killed you. Don't give me that shit about no harm done. Sirius told me what happened. Why are you sticking up for me?" he shouted at her yet feeling bad for doing it.

"What are you talking about Remus? It wasn't you, it was the werewolf." she said tenderly though she was trying not to cry. She reached out to stroke his hair but he swatted her hand away.

"Don't touch me. You can't touch me. It's better if you don't touch me. I am the werewolf. Don't you see? I don't think we should see each other anymore Lika." he said while avoiding her gaze.

"What? Why?" Lika said with tears flowing freely now.

"It's just best if we don't. I'm a dangerous person. I don't deserve anything and you certainly can do much better than me. I have to go. Good bye Lika. And I'm truly sorry." He said as he turned to go, her sobs ripping through him.

"You're acting like a selfish prick Lupin. But I want you to know I'll still be here when you get your shit together......Ouch." She broke off as she sank to the floor gasping. She had been trying to stand but moved the wrong way and managed to open her rib wound again. She knew she was bleeding because she felt her blouse becoming sticky. She also knew Remus smelled the blood because in an instant he was at her side, lifting her back onto the bed. He was sobbing again as he clutched her close and rained kisses on her face.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. You're right I was being a selfish prick. I don't want to stop seeing you. It's hard to imagine I existed before you and I don't know what I'd do now if I lost you." He said as he kissed her fully on the mouth with all the passion and emotion he had in him. He felt her return the kiss with all her soul and again marveled at his luck. I really don't deserve her. She's astoundingly accepting. She broke the kiss and looked into his eyes.

"Do you think you could call the Healer to fix me up?" she asked.

"What?" he asked stupidly, still lost in heated sensation. "Oh yeah. Of course. Right away. I'll be right back."

Remus was only gone for about twenty seconds before he returned with a Healer in tow. The Healer removed Lika's ruined blouse so she was clad only in her bra and suddenly she felt very exposed even though she knew the only thing that Remus was looking at was her cuts. He looked absolutely horrified as the Healer finished and left.

"Don't look like that. It's as much my fault. I was the air head who trusted Snape. He must know Occlumency because I got nothing from him at all." She said seriously.

"Please don't make this your fault. It's hard enough for me accepting what I did without you being wonderful enough to try taking the blame. I promised I wouldn't let anyone hurt you and look what happened. I hurt you." He said sadly.

"Remus. Will you come hold me?" She asked tentatively. Not sure what his reaction would be. One minute he wanted to cling to her desperately and the next he wanted nothing more than to shove her away. She waited with baited breath as he wrestled with her request until he finally made his way over to her. He embraced her timidly as though afraid he would break her. She wrapped her arms tightly around him and snuggled her cheek against his chest and sighed.

"They want to keep me just one more night before they release me. Will you stay with me. Please?" she asked as she looked up at him hopefully.

He looked into her desperate gaze and nodded. She smiled as she lay down and pulled him down also. She scooted closer to him and rest her head in the hollow of his shoulder and he wrapped both arms securely around her. She kissed his neck and her breasts rubbed against his chest, which caused him to shudder with want, and whispered her thanks as she drifted off to sleep. She hadn't put her blouse back on, not that he could blame her, it was in a nasty condition, so he pulled the blanket securely around her. She's an absolutely amazing one of a kind find and I would be an idiot for letting her go. She likes me just as I am, faults and all. She's so easy to love. Do I love her? How do you know when you're in love he asked himself as he too fell asleep.

Lika moaned deep in her throat as Remus' beard roughened cheek rubbed against her sensitive throat. He was biting her neck roughly in a fit of passion. His hands were tangled deep in the thickness of her hair, holding her head immobile. Growling deeply, he raised his shaggy head and stared into her wanton eyes as he leaned in to kiss her open lips. His tongue thrust inside and sought out the warm recesses of her mouth until he came in contact with her tongue and they began dueling.

Lika reached for his hands and pulled them up to her breasts, she flattened his palm brazenly against her mounds of flesh and she arched her back into his touch. His thumbs began stroking her nipples through her shirt. She tore her mouth away as she breathed in raggedly. He looked at her wickedly and scooted lower. Maintaining eye contact he fastened his hot mouth over her nipple and suckled through the material while his hands roamed lower over her body. He grazed her panties with skilled finger tips and she screamed as sensations rocketed through her. She spread her thighs wider and arched into his large hand.

He rubbed her through her panties teasingly, then more firmly until she was squirming underneath him. Remus was still sucking on her nipples firmly as he reached under the waistband of her underwear. Getting no resistance from Lika he continued pushing them down her thighs until she was exposed to his view then did the same with her bra. As she lay naked before him he couldn't help but appreciate how gorgeous she was and he didn't hesitate to tell her so. He leaned down again and began sucking her bare nipple. Nipping it gently with his teeth, then laving the pain away with his tongue.

His hand roamed lower again and he found her open and waiting. His deft fingers stroked her cored center and he felt her buck underneath him. He left her nipples and pushed himself lower. He stared into dazed eyes and watched her whisper his name. He leaned forward and pressed a kiss to her most intimate place. She sobbed out his name again and lifted her hips to meet his thrusting tongue. He sucked, licked and nibbled gently at her folds and could feel her growing wetter. Remus inserted a finger into her and knew that Lika was close to coming. He added another finger and sucked her with more pressure and then she was screaming his name as her intense orgasm rocked her.

Remus was yanked from sleep as he heard Lika scream his name. He sat up urgently and stared into her face. Her cheeks were very pink indeed and her brow was glistening with a sheen of perspiration but she slept on. She was thrashing wildly as she moaned. He was getting ready to wake her when her words stopped him dead in his tracks.

"Remus. Oh Merlin. Right there. Harder." she moaned in her sleep and pulled him closer to her.

He looked at her face again and was staring at the obvious. Her pink cheeks were pink from arousal; which was also the cause of her perspiration. Now that he saw those things he noticed he could smell her passion also. He didn't know whether to wake her so he settled for watching her. He saw tears leak out of her eyes and he couldn't help but kiss them away.

Lika jerked suddenly. Why does Remus have two pair of lips? How can be kissing me in two different places at once she thought with confusion. She looked down at Remus nestled intimately between her thighs and then she looked up at him staring tenderly into her face.

She was sorting it out when it suddenly hit her. She had been dreaming and from what she could tell it had been a very erotic dream. She was all sweaty and achy. She could smell her own arousal and knew Remus must also. He was smiling at her with a new look in his eyes. One she had yet to see. Something that told her he knew something she didn't. He stroked the cut on her cheek gently.

"Having a pleasant dream Lika?" he asked slyly.

She felt herself blush hotly and buried her face in her hands, which he quickly pried away. "Don't be embarrassed. I'm flattered." he said insistently and he leaned forward and kissed her then leaned to her ear and whispered. "Someday soon it won't be a dream but a reality. I promise you that."

"Thank you for not making me feel stupid." she said. "Oh. And if it's half as good in real life as in dreams, we're in for a real treat." she added brazenly.

Remus felt himself swell even harder at her words and couldn't help but kiss her deeply once more. When they broke apart he said "I know it's a little odd now, after everything that we've been through, but I want to do this properly. You deserve the best. Lika will you go out on a date with me?"

"Yes. I'd like that Remus." she said happily.
