Chapter 6

Remus had let Lika decide what she wanted to do for the date activity and he was curious as to what she had come up with. She had been positively beaming when he had told her it was ladies choice night and all she had said to him was dress in cool muggle clothes. So dressed in a pair of khaki shorts, a blue Hawaiian shirt unbuttoned with a white tank top underneath it he set off to pick up Lika. What a beautiful night.

Lika saw him coming up the walk and took in each glorious inch of him as she opened the door. She leaned casually on the door frame and smiled in welcome at him. Oh Merlin does he look handsome she thought to herself. Remus took in the delicious curved silhouette of Lika in the shadows. She was wearing jean shorts that showed a generous amount of her gorgeous legs and a spaghetti strapped green tank top that brought out the emerald in her eyes; her long hair had been put up in a bun on the top of her head and he found his fingers itching to pull it down.

"Hi." He said as he leaned to kiss her softly. He felt her knees buckle and grinned as he steadied her.

"Hello yourself." she replied. "What an appropriate shirt."

"Huh?" he asked.

Lika looked at him and smiled as she wrapped her arms around him so she could Apparate. Next thing he knew they were standing on a beach. He looked at her in confusion and asked "Where are we?"

"We're in my country now. Aloha. Welcome to Hawaii." She said as she produced a lei. She leaned forward to place it around his neck and kiss his cheek.

Remus continued looking at her like she was mad until he too produced a lei and kissed her as well as he bedecked her.

"This is gorgeous! I've never been here. The sand is so white and the air is so crisp and fresh." He said excitedly.

"Come on. Let's walk along the beach." she said as she reached for his hand. He paused and looked at her before pressing his palm directly to hers. She knew that he loved the closeness as much as she did. "Do you swim?"

"Yes. But I don't have a suit." he said in exasperation.

"Umm hello. Are you a wizard or not?" she said in amusement.

Remus looked at her feeling quite overwhelmed indeed. "Oh yeah." he said feeling quite stupid. Of all the date activities to pick this would have been the last one he would have thought. He watched her tap her head and her shorts turned into a bikini and he swallowed hard as he took in curves. He shifted his attention away and tapped his own head. Lika watched his clothes transform to trunks and felt her mouth go dry at the sight of all is male hardness. His chest and arms were very well muscled and the trunks clung to his powerful legs.

"Wow." she exclaimed, still unable to stop her unabashed staring.

"Funny. I was thinking the same about you." he said blushing slightly. Her direct attention was having effects on his libido and he forced himself to think the most boring thing he could. She smiled and pulled him toward the ocean.

Lika dived right in and disappeared under the surface, Remus on the other hand waded in slowly, letting his body get used to the temperature.

He looked around briefly for Lika but did not see her. There was not another person on the beach or in the water so he didn't know where she could have got to; she had been under so long he was getting quite concerned. He ducked under to glance around for her but couldn't see her there either.

Swimming a little further in he ducked under again and suddenly felt something clinging to his back. He kicked hard toward the surface as his heart beat wildly in his chest. When he was above water he felt warm soft lips press themselves to the cord of his neck.

"Looking for someone?" she whispered coyly as she nipped his ear.

Remus shuddered with pleasure as he answered "You scared me."

Lika removed her hold from around his neck and moved to stand in front of him. She stared deeply into his eyes. Remus watched her looking at him and was puzzled. What is she thinking he thought to himself.

She suddenly splashed him full in the face and dove out of sight. Remus was left sputtering water as her giggle trailed off. He ducked under the surface and kicked off to follow her. He caught her quickly and pulled her above. He splashed her in the face then took off.

Lika laughed and said "Oh, now you're going to get it!" She swam after him like a shot and grabbed his ankle. She was no match for his strength and he easily kicked free of her hand and rounded on her. She tore away in the opposite direction shrieking and laughing, her heart lighter than it had been in ages.

Remus stalked her like prey, when she moved he moved, when she dove he dove. Soon he had her cornered against a rock and swam toward her purposefully. Lika was no longer laughing, but waiting intently. He stopped so he was directly in front of her and trapped her with his arms. He leaned forward until he was level with her ear and just breathed hotly on her flaming skin.

"I'm going to kiss you now." he whispered.

"Thank Merlin." she said.

He gazed into her sparkling green eyes as he captured her lips in a gentle kiss. It was soft and tender at first but grew steadily more intense. He felt her tongue touch his shyly at first, then more boldly as she grew more confident by the groan low in his throat.

Lika slipped her arms up his chest and around his neck as she felt his snake their way around her hips. They were pressed so close yet Remus didn't feel close enough. He slipped his hands lower to cup her bottom and pull her into the cradle of his thighs. Lika swallowed a surprised gasp as she felt his hardness pressed against her stomach. I did that to him. He's hard because of me, she thought in amazement. He kneaded the flesh of her bottom firmly as he dipped his hand below the elastic of her bikini bottom. She broke the kiss and wrapped her legs around his hips so they were pressed most intimately to each other. The only thing keeping them from being one was their bathing suits.

Lika began kissing her way down his muscled neck to his strong chest. She grazed her teeth over his flat male nipples and felt his moan tear through her. He looked at her and unwrapped her legs from around him to push her away slightly. Why is he always fighting against me Lika thought in frustration.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Lika, we have to stop." He said.

"Stop? Are you crazy? Why?" She demanded as she moved closer, to which he doggedly moved away again.

"Because. We can't do this here. What if someone comes by? Besides, you're a virgin. I can't take that from you so easily." he said reasonably. He was determined to not let her see how much this pained him. As much as he wanted her, he didn't want her first time to be in ocean. She needed romance and to be swept off her feet. That's what she deserved.

Lika grabbed his hand and pressed her palm to his so she could see what he was thinking but he had shut himself down to her. She shook her head and swam toward shore. She stepped out onto the white sand, now shining bright in the moonlight and conjured a blanket. She flopped down and stared at the bright stars above her, self doubt running through her mind. She was getting a little tired his games. One minute he couldn't keep his hands to himself and the next he was pushing her away from him.

She gave her head a tap and restored her bathing suit back to her shorts and tank top. She flopped onto her side and stared blankly ahead, ignoring Remus completely when he sank down beside her.

He watched her back stiffen and knew he had hurt her feelings. Unsure as what to say, he just left her alone for a while. After ten minutes of silence he reached out a hand to rub her back soothingly when she spoke up at last.

"Don't touch me. If you think I'm some kind of game Remus you're sorely mistaken. If you don't want to be with me just say so. Don't string me along. It's not fair to my heart. Why can't you accept my virginity for the gift it is. I've been waiting for my true love to make love with. I know you feel alone in the world but just as much as you hate being alone, you also feel you don't deserve anything but loneliness. And until you can get past that, there's really no point in us seeing each other. Good night Remus. I trust you can find your way home." She said in a voice full of sorrow.

With a pop she Disapparated, leaving Remus alone to deal with the weight of her words.

Two days later Remus was feeling angry at her accusations. How could she say such things. He was only trying to protect her. He didn't think she knew what she was getting herself into. Then when he tried to reason his way through her words he couldn't help but wonder if maybe she was right. Maybe he was just protecting himself, instead of her. He'd never been in love after all, he didn't know the first thing about it.

All he knew was that this was the worst two days he could remember ever having. He couldn't sleep or eat and found that he just didn't gave a damn about anything. Term started next week and he needed to get back in Lika's good graces before that. She had called him her true love and when he thought about that his heart swelled to ten times it's normal size. He was just so scared he was going to hurt her. No one had ever dared love a werewolf.

Lika spent the remaining days before term started locked up in her house. Her eyes were puffy from crying hourly and her hair was a tangled mess. She just didn't care. Every time Remus came to the door she ignored him, pretending she wasn't home. He left notes under her door which she immediately destroyed without reading. She felt as if her heart had been shred into a thousand pieces.

Remus had been trying fruitlessly for almost a week to get to Lika but she was truly ignoring him. How was he supposed to talk to her if she wouldn't even see him? It was now the last night before term started and he hated to leave for Hogwarts not speaking to her. So he had once again gone to her house. He banged on the door loudly and found his frustration made him want to yell.

"Damn it Lika open the door. I know you're there. I really need to talk to you." Remus raged.

Lika watched him anxiously through the crystal ball. He was getting genuinely angry. And she heard him shout again.

"I'm going to break down this damn door it you don't answer it. I'm going to give you a minute before I force it open." He said insistently.

He gave her more than a minute and sank down so he was leaning against the door. "How am I supposed to tell you how I feel about you if you won't open the door?" he said out loud, but mostly to himself.

How he feels about me? What does he mean, she wondered happily. She jumped out of her chair and ran to the door, which she thrust open, causing Remus to fall backward.

Remus' quick reflexes had him jumping up almost instantly. He gathered her to him and pulled her into his secure embrace. He pressed kisses over whatever part of her face he could reach. Then rested his chin on top of her head while holding her close.

"I'm sorry Lika. You were right. I was afraid of hurting you and myself. I was in the mind set that I don't deserve anyone but I don't want to run anymore. You are very special to me Lika. I have a hard time remembering my life before you were in it, I just know it's better now. Forgive me." he said tenderly as he caressed her cheek and pulled her to him.

"Oh Remus. I'm sorry I was so harsh with you, it was completely uncalled for. You are a very special man and I want you to know I will never intentionally hurt you." she sobbed into his neck as her tears wet his shirt.

"I know that and I'm sorry I doubted you." he said, rocking her back and forth.

They stayed that way for a couple of minutes, just standing in the front door clinging to each other. Drawing from the others strength. When Lika finally pulled away she stared into his clear gray eyes and grasped his hand.

"Come on. I was just getting ready to make dinner. Will you stay?"

"I'd like that." He answered as he followed her to the kitchen. "Thanks."
