Note: Howdy Y'all! The third chapter drum roll please I hope you like it so far!

Thanx to Rae-Chan my second reviewer, sorry about the cliff-hanger but I thought it would be good…I'm evil like that! I'm glad you liked it! Keep on reviewing people I love reading them! -

Anyways on with the story…. Heheh I love these characters!

I kinda switch POV in this from like 3rd to Sirius because I thought it would make the scene more… well you understand when you read it I don't wanna give much away! Enjoy!

The door clicked shut; Remus slid his shocked body down the door, unable to fully process what happened. Tear began to ravage his soul and time had stopped. Regret again filled his soul; he ran to the bathroom and locked it.

Gradually Sirius stopped crying, each tear stung more than the first, darkness and sleep engulfed him once again. His weak state made it hard for him to concentrate, he continued to mull over what just happened and wished he had waited longer till he told Remus the truth. But he could not hold it in any longer; the years of waiting took a toll on his already fragile mind. He knew how sensitive Remus was, but he could not hold himself back, just being near Remus intoxicated him. He lent back on the bed, the comfort of a mattress was long forgotten by Sirius, the hard stone floors of his cell were all he could remember. The warmth overwhelmed him and darkness pursued.

He stirred from the warmth of sleep, feeling a wet cloth being dabbed across him; Sirius opened his eyes slowly as he called out "Remus" in a sweet, sleepy voice. He sat up, the second this attempt being less hurtful than the first. "Remus, I'm Sorr…"

Remus touched his finger to my lips, stopping my plea. The scratch of his nails as his fingers kneaded my shirt caused me to tremble; my heart began to pound wildly. Placing my hand across his heart, I could feel his to be racing. He kissed the nape of my neck, slowly, seductively causing my stomach to tingle. He moved away and began to clean me; the dirt of Azkaban was soaked into my skin. He vanished to the bathroom and reappeared with a bowl of fresh, warm water, lavender soap and a new washcloth.

He undressed me; the gangly robes I was wearing fell off easily. It was a surprise on how I kept them up at all. He slowly and delicately removed my clothes as if I was something fragile and special. He changed my bandages, the newly made scars so apparent on my grey skin; he kissed my eyes and forehead. I laid there bathed in security and ecstasy, his soothing words lulled me into an emotion that time had removed me: happiness.

The warmth of the water had washed away years of dirt and grime that had soaked my existence for too long, and a little of the pain, he was more gentle then wind as my mind drifted and eyes became hazy. I felt his bare skin on mine, hot and smooth a contrast to the beast within him.

I opened my eyes as his sandy hair tickled my chest, I saw Remus's shadowy outline, and his smooth curves and silky hair warmed my soul. A beautiful shadow, he kissed me and it was a smooth liquid kiss. His lips passed from my mouth and roamed over my skin he had just cleaned, his lip danced around me creating melodies of passionate desire. He finished cleaning me; the water once clear was now a mucky brown.

He left to the bathroom once again; I became cold and craved the body heat he had given me. He returned with clean clothes for me to wear. Needing help, he supported me, placed me gently on the bed, I felt so warm, so very much in love no words could pass my lips. He snuggled next to me, careful not to hurt me further. Sleep once again overtook me and I had my first dreamless sleep in 12 years.

How was that? I know it was short but I really liked it and left it there, if you guys like it I will carry on, but I'm going back to school so updates may be longer then I wanted but I promise I will try!  Read, review, you know the drill!
