Chapter 10

Remus closed his eyes as he fought for control. Analise had shifted positions so one of her legs was straddling the outside of his and the other was wedged on the inside, dangerously close to his crotch and she had scooted closer than he ever thought possible. He could feel her hot breath on his cheek and he forced his eyes open. She was watching him closely and he found himself having to search for his voice.

"Analise..." He began but was soon cutoff by her finger to his lips which she quickly replaced with a searing kiss.

Analise didn't want him to think, she wanted him to feel. She pressed herself as close as she could to his radiating heat as she attacked his mouth with her tongue. She found his tongue searching for hers frantically and his hands slide up her back to her neck. She was rewarded for her efforts when he wound his fingers in her hair and took control of the kiss.

Remus heard her moan enthusiastically as pressed closer still and he could feel his control slipping. He lifted her suddenly off his lap and stood so he could switch their positions. As he pressed her into the chair he could feel her hands pawing at his shirt. He deepened the kiss further and let his hands start a leisurely exploration of her body.

He could feel her nipples pressing against his chest as they tightened and he had to repress a shudder. His hands trailed up her rib cage and brushed against the underside of her breasts. Analise tore her mouth away and arched her back as she whimpered. Remus began nibbling his way across her collar bone as he grew harder listening to her sounds of rapture.

Analise slid her hands up Remus' toned, well defined chest and let them slide to his powerful back where she could feel his muscles corded with tension there. He had a restrained power to him that she found to be the epitome of sexy. She tugged him closer until his welcoming weight was almost entirely on top of her and reached for his hands. She guided them to her breasts and watched him through hooded eyes as she arched into his touch.

Remus' groan lodged in his throat as she guided his hands to where she wanted to be touched. Her eyes were shimmering with passion which caused him to have a hard time focusing. He felt her guiding his hands as she helped him unbutton her blouse and then slipped her hands down to the bulge in his khakis. It wasn't until then that reality slammed into him.

He pulled back and found himself staring into a pair of confused blue eyes. She reached for him which caused a gap in her partially unbuttoned blouse and he felt need tear through him as he glimpsed her breasts.

"Analise, we have to stop." He said firmly.

"Stop?" She asked in exasperation at the loss of contact.

"I can't do this. Not this way." He answered.

"What way?" She asked in puzzlement.

"Listen. There's something you don't about me." He stated.

"I'm sure there's lots I don't know about you Remus. Just like there's lots you don't know about me." She argued.

"No. This is something else. Something huge. And I refuse to make love to you with it not out in the open." He said resolutely.

Analise could tell this was very important to him so she sat up and smoothed down her passion ruffled hair. Actually it refreshing to meet an honest man who cared about her feeling cheated later.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Did you say you were left a magic carpet?" He asked, changing the subject.

"Yes. But what does that have..." She started.

"Let's go for a ride." He interrupted.

"Now?" She asked in bewilderment.

"Yes. I never got to take you out tonight. Let me take you on a date....so we can get to know one another." He said gently.

Though he was leaving her completely sexually frustrated, she couldn't help but be touched by the sentiment. What a gentlemen. He wants a date before we sleep together. Wait a minute, that didn't sound very flattering to me. Oh, I know what I mean, she thought.

"Ok. That would be lovely." She said.

"Really? I mean good. Let's go then." Remus said in surprise. He didn't expect her to actually agree to it. He expected her to be upset he had ruined the mood and then had abruptly changed the subject.

Analise walked over to the closet and began shifting things aside to get the family heirloom out. She had always dreamed of using the carpet when she was little but was never permitted to. This could be fun, she thought.

Remus watched her bend over, presenting him with a lovely view of her backside and he cursed himself for his consideration. He could be upstairs, tangled together in passion right now if it weren't for his damn conscience.

Her grunting pulled him from his thoughts as he realized she was struggling with the weight of the rug and he rushed forward to take it from her.

"Sorry." He said guiltily at the same she spoke.

"Thanks."

He drug it out the front door and laid it flat so he could perform the charm to make it fly. Analise watched him in mute fascination as the rug hovered about a foot off the ground and Remus jumped up easily. He turned and offered his hand as he helped her up.

Remus watched her eyes twinkling in excitement and a thought occurred to him. "Have you ever been on this before?"

"No. First time." She answered.

"Well get ready for some beautiful views." He said as she sat down.

He plopped down next to her and gave the rug directions. Her animation was contagious. She no more looked like the woman who was being targeted for murder but like she didn't have a care in the world.

This is exhilarating, she thought as they soared above the village. The stars looked close enough to touch and Hogsmeade seemed like a far off place. She lay down flat on her back so she could watch the night sky fly by and Remus followed her. He tugged her close so she could rest her head on his chest.

"Thank you for letting me be here." He said quietly.

"Thank you for bringing me. It's the most creative date I've been on." She answered.

He was silent a few minutes as thoughts crowded in his mind and flew out just as quickly.

"Remus?" Analise asked after what seemed like hours of silence.

"Hmm?"

"Do you not trust me?" She asked somberly as she buried her head shyly into his shirt.

Her tone tugged at Remus' heartstrings, she sounded so dejected. He lifted her head up to meet his eyes and pulled her up his body so she was laying flat on top of him. He felt electrified as their bodies were pressed as close as they could be.

His hands sank into her thick curls as his lips captured hers in what she imagined was probably the most romantic kiss ever. With the stars winking above them and the village so tiny below them, it was like they were the only two people in the world and the only thing that mattered was his kiss.

When he broke away, he trailed a finger tenderly down her cheek to her passion swollen lips where she nipped at his finger wantonly. Please, Merlin, don't let that be the last time I kiss her, he thought desperately. He steeled himself for a reaction before speaking.He couldn't remember the last time he'd been so nervous.

"I'm a werewolf Analise." He said tenaciously and watched as her fervor filled eyes changed abruptly to surprise.

I might have to change my name to Queen Cliffhanger. Sorry :(
