Chapter 27: Pull up your pants, Clayton.
They had been driving for about half an hour, when Sirius spoke up. "Paige, why did you ask me earlier if I had performed oral sex?"
Paige grinned. "I thought you didn't want to talk about it?"
Sirius shifted in his seat, she was right. "Well, luv, as uncomfortable as I am about it, I have a feeling it will come up eventually." Paige raised an eyebrow and Sirius smiled. "Well, one can certainly hope."
Paige smiled in return and patted his leg. "Yes, one can hope. So what of it?"
"Well," Sirius started as he ran his hand through his hair, "why were you asking?"
She shrugged and fiddled with the vents on the dashboard. "Well, it's good to know about a potential partner before sex. That way, you know if they could be a risk for you as far as sexually transmitted diseases. I knew you had had three partners, but oral sex can be thought of in a different way."
Sirius mulled this over for a moment before asking, "How many men have you been with?"
Paige bit her lip and responded, "Well…more than you. I don't have any STD's, so don't worry."
"Is that the only reason?", he asked.
Paige glanced over, a coy smile on her face. "No, of course not, I had to make sure that's something you're not opposed to doing. I happen to like oral a lot."
Sirius grinned. "I do too, luv.", he responded, putting his hand on her leg. His fingers caressed her as he looked her over.
Paige scooted his hand up her leg, then rested her palm on the stick shift. "Your arm was in the way, I couldn't get around it in an emergency.", she explained.
He raised his hand a little and brushed against her center. Paige's legs opened a little wider and Sirius stroked her harder. "Am I in the way now?", he asked in amusement.
She shook her head and stilled his hand. "No, but I won't be able to concentrate much longer if you keep that up."
Sirius pulled his hand away and crossed his arms in a pout. Paige looked over, noticing a bulge forming in his pants. Her hand traveled to his lap, gently skimming his fly. She unzipped his trousers and slid her hand in to grasp the semi-hard penis inside.
She stroked him awkwardly, his pants making the action difficult. She didn't have to wait long before he propped himself off and pulled them, along with his underwear, down. Her strokes were better now and she earned a moan from Sirius. She looked over to see that his eyes were closed and he was gripping the seat tightly. Reading all the signs, she pulled away just before he came.
Sirius looked over at her incredulously. "Why did you stop?", he asked. Paige smirked and looked outside the car. Sirius looked around, they were back at the apartments. "Well, you're going to finish me, aren't you? Please?"
Paige raised an eyebrow and shrugged, before getting out of the car. She reached into the backseat to retrieve the food and then shut the door. "I gotta get to work, babe. Otherwise I would."
Sirius hurriedly pulled up his pants and climbed out of the car, remembering to zip up only after Paige pointed out his open fly. "But, I really need to finish.", he pouted.
She laughed as she climbed the stairs. "I'd like to finish myself, but I'm just too busy tonight."

Kate's leg hooked on some pillows, knocking over an empty take-out container. "Oops", she squeaked as she made a grab for Remus.
"Not to worry, it's empty.", he said reassuredly and pinned her to the floor.
"Let me up.", she playfully growled.
Remus chuckled and nipped at her ear. "And what if I don't?", he teased.
"I will be forced to huff and puff and blow your house in.", she said with a giggle, while trying to displace his balance by moving her hips.
"Hufflepuff! And her I thought you'd be in Gryffindor, though, your blowing skills are quite exemplary.", he said impishly, fighting to hold her still.
"Now where were we?", he asked suggestively, waggling his eyebrows.
"You promised to tell me about your friends.", she coyly stated.
"Very few of them are left, dearest.", he replied softly, the light dimming in his eyes. "I would rather talk of happier things this evening."
Kate stopped struggling and gave him a gentle smile. "Who was your first friend in school, then?"
"Oh, that's easy. Lily Evans, she was the first person I met on the express. We were both outcasts of sorts, so we stuck together.', he said with a broad smile. "Even after Sirius and James adopted me; we were still close. She just accepted everyone."
Kate ran her fingers down his cheek. "She sounds perfect."
Remus let out a deep laugh. "Far from it, she snorted when she laughed too hard, she would always steal my chocolate, she stole the covers, and she snored."
"And how do you know about the snoring and cover stealing activities of your best friend's wife?", she asked as she quirked an eyebrow.
"Well, there was many a night when we would fall asleep in the common room studying. Our head of house would usually just throw a blanket over the two of us, evidently we were overly trustworthy and extremely boring. But in spite of that, Lily was a great lady." He bent down and kissed Kate's forehead. "She found out about my condition in 6th year. And do you know what she said?"
"What?', she said lovingly, capturing his lips for a chaste kiss.
"Well, that explains the bitchiness once a month.", he said with a wide smile. Kate laughed and he continued. "She never brought it up again, just accepted it as part of me." He looked whimsical for a moment, before Kate reversed their positions.
"Constant vigilance, my love.", she said coquettishly.
"Dear Gods, you sound like Alastor.", he said with a twinkle in his eye. "That reminds me, Albus says you need to be gentler with Order Members. Tonks was half-dead from fright when she got back"
She quirked an eyebrow. "Really? I guess I will have to try harder next time."
"Kate.", he growled. "You need to learn to play nice."
She bit her bottom lip and started to pout. "But I always play nice."
He chuckled and rolled her under him. "You always play nice with me, you need to play nice with the other Order members."
'Fine.", she pouted. She turned her face to the side and looked away from him.
"Don't pout, it's quite unbecoming.", he said with mock severity and kissed her cheek. Balancing his weight on one arm, he used his free hand to draw her gaze back to him. "Anyway, I'm quite fond of the way you play with me.", he stated, a blush creeping over his face. "You feel…I mean you felt brilliant."
Kate stretched and wrapped her arms around her bashful mate, pulling him on to her before kissing the tip of his nose. "Thank you for a wonderful day."
Remus let out a contented sigh. "Thank you, dearest. I'm sorry I…"
She quieted him by placing her finger on his lips. "It was wonderful. Stop worrying.", she sweetly commanded as she moved her finger away.
"I can't promise, dearest, but I will try to stop worrying. I just wanted you to enjoy it as much as I did. I'm just being selfish I guess, you felt so incredible and I just don't want you to swear off having sex.", he said rather sheepishly, reminding Kate of a lovesick teenager.
She let out a soft sigh and rolled him onto him back. "Why would I ever do that? We fit so well together, it is just a little snug at the moment that's all."
Remus furrowed his brow. "I am sorry about that, I really didn't want to hurt you."
Kate placed kisses and licks along his jaw line, causing him to relax a little. "You didn't hurt me, so stop worrying and enjoy the moment.", she whispered in between kisses. She slowly dropped her hand to his waist and began massaging him through his trousers.

Sirius sighed and readjusted himself. That woman doesn't play fair, he thought as he whimpered in frustration. He was walking towards the hall, when his ears perked up at the sound of laughter coming from the dining room. He quickly walked closer to the door and placed his ear against it and gasped. Silently stepping forward, he pushed the door open and stared at Kate splayed across Remus.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kate smirked at her lover and then licked her lips. "Your fingers were quite nice and your mouth is very talented. I just think that I am going to have to get used to the size of harder and larger things.", she said coyly, giving him a squeeze to punctuate her statement.
Remus let out a low growl. "Well, we will just have to practice then.", he said and pulled her into a possessive kiss. They paused their snogging as they heard a strangled sound from the doorway.
Remus looked up to find Sirius staring at them with his mouth agape. "Sirius, how was your trip?", he politely managed.
"Um…Fine. How was your day at home?", Sirius asked feebly.
"Oh, wonderful.", Remus replied with a bright smile and pulled Kate in for a quick kiss on the lips, causing Sirius's jaw to drop.
Paige walked into the living from the hallway. "Sirius, what are you doing?"
Sirius looked at the animagus and then pointed into the dining room. "They…they…no fair. I want to have sex."
Paige let out a nervous giggle. "Sirius, I don't think the chairs have had sex."
"Paige, have you gone bonkers?", he exclaimed.
"I'm not so sure you should be the one asking that question right now, Sirius.", she replied.
"I was talking about Kate and Remus", he snapped back.
"Oh!", she exclaimed. "Hi Guys!" She paused for a moment. "Kate and Remus had sex?"
Remus grinned at Sirius and then chuckled. Kate cast her mate an admonishing look. "We're in here, Paige.", she called out. "There is extra Thai food in the fridge if you want it.
"You didn't answer my question.", Paige called back.
"Yes, we made love.", Remus replied and lovingly stroked the side of Kate's face.
"Well, Katie I'm happy for you and you too, Remus. It's about fuckin' time.", she replied teasingly, ending on a note of exasperation.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Paige. We had a few mixed chemical signals.", Kate said with a laugh.
"What's this?", Paige questioned and walked toward the dining room to see Kate and Remus lounging on the floor in front of the fire. "What are you talking about, Kate?"
"Nothing to worry about. It's been taken care of.", Kate replied as she rolled off Remus and sat up. Remus quickly followed suit and pulled her on to his lap.
"Sirius, what is she talking about?", Paige asked.
"I'll tell you later, luv.", Sirius replied.
The room fell into silence as Paige and Sirius looked on just in time to see Kate snuggle closer to her mate and Remus grace her with a shy smile that reached his eyes. Sirius blinked back a tear, completely moved by the scene. I haven't really seen Moony this happy and unguarded since we graduated, he pondered. No, actually, the last time I saw him this content was when he was holding Harry the night before we decided…Suddenly the silence became overwhelming for him and he blurted out "So just where did the Thai food figure into all of this?"
Paige covered her mouth with her hand. Why did it have to be so silent in Azkaban?, she silently asked the universe.
Remus tried to stifle a laugh but his attempt proved futile, when Kate started laughing into his chest. Remus regained his composure long enough to say, "About six hours later for dinner, Padfoot."
"Oh, just checking. It's in the fridge right?", he asked casually.
"Careful Sirius, there might be some foreign substances in that.", Paige said with a smirk.
Sirius paused for a moment to look over at the pair of giggling werewolves before going in for the Thai food.

The fire in the dining room grate had burned down and the pair of werewolves were snuggled together, dozing on the nest of pillows. Paige had left for work an hour before and Sirius was currently in her room, leaving the house relatively silent.
Kate startled awake as the phone rang. Quickly she wriggled out of Remus's embrace and ran to pick up the phone in the living room.
She cleared her throat. "Hello? Oh hi, Paige. What's up? Okay, hang on a minute." She gently set down the phone and padded down the hall to Paige's room.
The door was open and Sirius was sprawled across the bed. She quietly crept in and cautiously opened up the desk drawer.
"Looking for condoms?", Sirius playfully shouted, causing her to jump a few inches.
Kate spun around, clasping her chest. "Sirius, you startled me." She leaned down and pulled out a black book. "It's not condoms, but it is a bit late for those anyway.", she said with a wink and bustled out the door.
She picked up the phone. "You still there? Tom's number is international code 86 standard number 436-75921. Anything else? Ok, give Clayton a hug for me." She hung up the phone, and headed back to Paige's room.
Sirius stared at the werewolf as she entered the room and replaced the book in the drawer. "Kate, just how experienced is Paige?", he asked in a solemn tone.
Kate looked up from the desk. "I really don't know for sure, Sirius. I think you should just ask her, I mean it's not too uncommon of a question nowadays."
He looked down at his hands for a moment. "I don't want to sound to forward.", he said shyly.
Kate let out a sigh and moved to sit next to him. "She's experienced, more than I am anyway but that really isn't exactly saying much is it? What exactly do you want to know?"
Sirius looked over at her and gave her a bright smile, knowing he had worn her down. "How many guys has she been with?"
She frowned and looked at her lap. "I really don't know, Sirius. A fair share, I guess."
He let out a loud sigh and glared at the werewolf. "Have I ever told you how incredibly like Remus you are? I want details, Kate."
"I don't know, Sirius. It has never been my place to ask.", she snapped, wishing he would just ask Paige these questions. He looked up at her and gave her his best puppy dog eyes, the ones that could even break McGonagall. "You aren't making this easy. Fine, but I strongly recommend you just ask Paige." Kate sighed and stood up. "If I were looking for that kind of information, I would check out her black book unless she told me specifically not to."
Sirius smiled in triumph. "The book you were just looking in?", he queried.
"Yes, it would be a good place to start but you aren't going to like what you find there. There are some things that are better left to trust and first hand accounts.", she replied and crossed towards the door.
"I'll take my chances. Thank you, Kate", he declared as he watched her leave.
"You're welcome, Pandora.", she called out over her shoulder as she shut the door.

Paige arrived at Clayton's house and felt a little guilty about what she done to Sirius. She had timed it just right, slowing her speed when she thought he was getting close. The end result was exactly what she'd wanted, he was left unsatisfied and wanting while she was amused.
The only problem was she felt bad for doing it. Normally, she wouldn't give the poor guy she was dating a second thought afterwards. This time, however, her conscience was getting the better of her. She didn't like it one bit. Normally, her idea of fun was to tease and torment a guy until he was ready to look else where. Normally, it was only after all this had happened that she would take a guy to her bed. Normally, she'd have so much fun with her actions that she would work on more than one guy at a time.
This was not a normal situation, though. Sirius was like her normal interests in many ways. He was handsome, physically fit and well off, just like them.
On the other hand, he was very different. He didn't seem as disposable as most of the others. He had the ability to make her laugh, even when she was in her worst moods. He could be very endearing and sweet when he wanted to be, his compliments and comments sincere.
He even valued her as a person, really wanting to know what she thought. Of course, she could be wrong about this one. He couldn't stand silence, so he could just want to avoid it and found this to be the best way.
This lead Paige to thinking of Azkaban, Sirius had been there for twelve years when most people died within the first two. This fact alone meant that he was probably wasn't the sanest person. There was an abandonment issue that he managed to hide most of the time, but it had definitely come out the other night.

Clayton slammed a book down on the coffee table, breaking Paige from her reverie. "Are you going to be like this all night!"
Paige slumped further into the couch and smiled. "Maybe I will, maybe I won't. Maybe later on, I'll shave your eyebrows off while you sleep."
Clayton picked up the Play Station controller and shook it. "We have some serious Spyro to play, here! Stop brooding!", he yelled.
She chuckled and waved him on. "It's one player, Clay, start it up. I'll brood, while it's your turn."
Clayton rolled his eyes, making Paige throw a pillow at him. "Don't be such a teenager!"
He stuck out his tongue and turned around. Hooking his thumbs in his shorts, he exclaimed "Look! I'm a werewolf and it's going to be a full moon!"
Paige hurriedly closed her eyes, knowing he would go through with it. "Clayton Marie Adams! You pull your pants up NOW! I could get fired."
She opened her eyes and Clayton asked "Marie? My middle name is John."
Paige giggled. "It fit and it certainly got your attention. Anyway, what did you think of Remus?"
Clayton shrugged and turned on the system. "He's cool. He's Kate's mate, right? That's why he was with us last night?"
Paige nodded. "Yeah, they were seeing if they were compatible."
He moved to say something but paused. "Paige, there's someone outside."
She motioned for him to get into his hiding spot and peeked outside.

Remus finished warding the front door and headed down the hall to check on Sirius before turning in. The animagus was passed out on Paige's bed, curled around one of her pillows. Remus pulled the covers up over his friend and headed to his room.
He smiled to himself and entered the room to see Kate already bedded down for the night. Closing the door, he changed into his pajamas and slipped into bed behind her.
"Hmmm…good night, beloved.", she hummed, leaning against him.
Remus wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek. "Good night, my Kate. Sleep well.", he whispered, before sleepily mumbling Nox.

Sirius tripped over a rock, bloodying his knees on the jagged earth. He stood up and shivered in the freezing wind. The sunrise to the East and the sunset to the West did nothing to warm the plains.
The mist surrounding him swirled a bit, his view clouding. He stood still until it passed and was rewarded with the sight of someone walking in the distance.
He called out, his voice resounding over the land. The figure stopped and Sirius hurried over.
He looked at the haggard man before him. "Thank you for stopping. You're the fourth person I've seen in as many days." Sirius passed, looking out at the never moving sunrise and sunset. "Well, I think it's been four days. Where are we?", he asked the stranger.
"The shadow realm.", the man responded, glancing about wildly.
Sirius looked around, puzzled. "But then why am I here? I never performed any dark magic."
The stranger shrugged. "Don't know. Listen, I really need to get going. It's never safe to stand in one spot for long."
Sirius nodded and watched the man take a few steps before hundreds of claws reached out of a blob of shadow, dragging the screaming man off into the West.
Sirius gasped and sat up, his heart pounding in his chest. He looked at the empty space in the bed next to him and wished Paige was with him. He gazed around the empty room and got out of bed, his thoughts on the one person, who had comforted him after dreams like these.
And now it's time for the author's note by Hornhead.
A/N: WOOHOO! We've put another chapter out within a month of the last one! Go us!
Feigning Innocence: Paige's sister, Cashlan, is married to Bella's brother-in-law. She went to England when Paige was ten to find herself a proper pure-blood husband, and found him. As for Sirius's reaction, I had a very clear picture of what that would look like when I wrote it. You'll see more of this, Remus hasn't found out yet, remember? (evil grin)
surfergurl: Sirius and Paige fluff! Yay! Finally! Paige's family is pretty awesome, each in their own way. I know, because I've taken quite a bit of time to develop them. (Just the names alone took quite a while)
jenonymous: Yay! You've registered! Now to start posting...
Sirius and Paige have taken the time so far, partially because of a reason that has been named in this chapter. She really is an evil little bitch, isn't she?
If you want to make your characters cannon, by all means, go ahead. Please clean up after yourself when you're done, fanfic characters make an awful mess. Hehe. Who's to say that your Sirius wouldn't be canon? Mine might not be exactly like the books, but then the Sirius in the books doesn't spend any time in Vegas with a woman who's interested in him, either. I'll grant that he is slightly on the silly side, but I like that about him.
Katarina: Isn't he so cute? I think he's adorable, myself. The controversy issues came up because I suddenly thought up a great line and wanted to use it. Plus, Paige's family is pure blood, so they would have quite a few of the pureblood prejudices that she seems to have gotten past.
That's all for now, folks. Stay tuned for yet another exciting installment of Vegas, and find out whether or not Clayton keeps his pants up!
