"Of course you can stay Remus. Did they save anything? Clothing wise?" Remus was on the phone with Lily. He started to shake his head when her voice interrupted him. "Never mind that question. Apperate over here as quickly as you possible can. Don't worry about stopping at the door." Remus nodded.
"Lily… thank you." Remus visualized a worried looking Lily nodding her head as she hung up the phone. He quickly hung up himself and went into the ally closest, closing his eyes. He reopened them to a nicely warmed room. The armchair was in the same spot it was in his dreams: in front of the fireplace with a book placed on the armchair. Lily hurriedly came into the room and went up to Remus, hugging him. He wrapped his own arms around her in an embrace and let go quickly.
She took his arm and lead him up the stairs to where the spare bedrooms where. There were three rooms up here and all of them were spare. Remus was lead into the nicer and manlier room of the three. Lily let go of his arm and set the blankets back. She took out her wand and the heating in the room raised up. She looked at him for the first time since he apperated into the living room. "Remus, are you okay?" It felt like the hundredth time she had asked him that, but it didn't bother him. He didn't trust himself to speak so he just nodded. Lily smiled and as she walked past him, she kissed him on the cheek.
"Goodnight Remus."
You'll start to shake,
your friends will sweat,
you are high, you will forget.
"Do I have to go?" Remus tried to straighten the tie as much as he could. Lily rolled her eyes and moved his hands out of the way as she tried to fix it.
"Yes, you have to come. It's James' birthday; he thinks of you like a brother, plus, Sirius and his girlfriend are coming too." Remus looked down at her with over enthusiastic eyes and said, "Whoopee! I'm the only one going without a date. Just let me stay in a bed a little longer, please mummy?" He started to give her the begging. Lily slapped his shirt and laughed, which made her smile which made Remus smile.
"Remus Jonathon Lupin, you are going to this dinner party to celebrate James' birthday and here is a card; sign it and slip in the money. Just be a dear, alright? We're all leaving in five." Lily patted down the tie and left Remus to himself. He smiled and shook his head.
Remus walked into the restaurant with Lily and James. He tried to trail behind, but Lily found his arm and pushed him next to her. He felt hot at the touch, but he was starting to get used to it. Living at Lily's house for a couple of months made him get used to her light and friendly touches and even her accidental 'hand-brush-things' he was getting used to. They found their seats over in a corner booth. Peter and Sirius's girlfriend were already sitting, talking to one another.
"Oh my gosh, is that Jen from Sirius' work? Geeze, I would have never thought Sirius would go out with her." Lily whispered to Remus. He smiled and said back, "Hear they were engaged." She smiled up at him and they all seated around the table. Sirius joined them after a while, explaining he had a last minute patient.
Soon everyone was full and drunk. Sirius and Jen had been talking, kissing and laughing to one another, but Sirius raised his hand and said, "We're still going to that one pub, right? To finish the ceremonial birthday yah know." Lily laughed and rolled her eyes.
"Sirius, if we were to get any more fluids into you, you would probably laugh like an insane person, piss on a limo and then pass out trying to get James' autograph. And the funniest thing is that someone will take a picture of it from the Daily Prophet." Everyone laughed and Sirius brushed his hand in front of his face. "None sense. Even if the Daily Prophet did get a picture, it would be too pornographic to actually place in the paper."
Everyone laughed harder, mostly because the drink drove the group to insanity. "Maybe… we should… leave to someplace… more appropriate," Jen said in between fits of laughter. Everyone nodded in laughing fits and they filed outside to yield some taxis'.
Remus watched jealously as James and Lily held hands and made a scene with kissing. Peter was sent home in a taxi and everyone else bunked up together in two cars. Remus was with Lily and James, snuggling and kissing. They all amazingly made it to the pub and as soon as they got in, everyone was dancing. Remus went to the bar and got them more drinks.
Remus came about handing them beers and Fire Whiskey. Lily took hers with a wink. He took a long swig of his drink before abandoning the bottle on the bar counter. He got another drink, a Fire Whiskey, but as he was about to take it and drink it, a hand came over the drink and took it out of Remus' hand. He turned to see Lily's face from drinking the whiskey so quickly. She opened her eyes and leaned up next to Remus' ear, a smile splayed on her face. "Let's dance." She slipped her hand in his and led him through the crowd, but she would end up getting herself lost. Remus got closer to her and slipped his hands around her waist, leading her through the crowd with the music.
They swayed together, mangling, hips swaying at the same time. It was like a mosh pit; bodies pressed against one another, music beating hard, bodies moving at a beat, sweat…
Lily had somehow turned around in Remus' arms and now faced him, her left hand over his shoulder, moving him to her beat. His body was starting to become a mind of it's own. If he had been a little bit more sober, he wouldn't even be touching her, but that last beer sent him and he knew Lily had been long gone.
Remus' hands went from her waist to her buttock and she didn't stop him, if anything, her eyes encouraged him greatly. She leaned closer into him, her face inches from his. "Kiss me," she breathed onto his lips and her command was answered quickly. He had always wanted to hear this command and knew he would never hesitate once he heard it either.
Lily placed her leg up higher on his body, her dress hitched to a point. His hand trailed from her ankle to her thigh and further to her almost hidden buttock. She moaned into his mouth and he captured it. She broke the kiss and forced a loud, "Not here" moan. He was again happy to oblige. He pulled her tightly to him and thought of her house, his room. He wanted to make a new mark in a different part of her house, not one that James left.
Remus slid his fingers under her dress, slowly pulling it up and away, making it land somewhere haphazardly. Lily smiled as her black undergarments were exposed. Her body glimmered from the sweat from dancing; his body was sweaty too. She laid underneath him as he kissed various places on her body; her neck, her collarbone, her jaw…
Lily moaned happily and laced her own fingers over his shirt. He leaned up as he felt her try to push the shirt off, taking it off for her. He pulled the blankets from under her off, picking her body up in his strong arms to where she straddled his lap sitting. Her hands were on his chest; one arm kept her close to him and she played with the nape of his neck with her lips, making him fumble with her bra.
"Lily…" he breathed into her neck, almost grousing. She bit lightly on his skin, her hands sliding down his chest to the zipper and button of his pants. He wasn't afraid of how she touched him or wanted his clothes off. She would normally come into his room telling him to give his clothes to her and take off the ones he was wearing too. At first, he only raised his eyebrow and shook his head, but after a while, he would disappear into his closet and come back out wearing his PJ's.
Eventually, Remus helped Lily take off his pants and she helped him with her bra; as drowsy looking as she was, Lily urged him on and so he did not question her motives. Remus kissed gingerly up from her own neck to her lips where he captured them for the second time this night. He laid her down gently, treating her like a precious china doll.
"Remus…" he heard his name and opened his eyes to Lily, looking up at him,
"James won't be coming here any time soon tonight, will he?" Remus asked her, a wolfish grin splayed across his face. Lily duplicated the wolfish grin and sat up on her elbows; his eyes were distracted to her breast but she raised his line of sight as he caught the wolfish grin.
"Not tonight, no. We have the night all to ourselves. Think of it like one of our late night talks, just more actions than words if you don't mind." Remus smiled and nodded; he liked her idea.
She is afraid
cause you are dying,
But you have got your peace of mind.
Remus forced a laugh as James told a joke; James' hand was placed onto Lily's thigh. He wanted so badly to swat the hand away and growl, hiss, fight for her for Christ's sake. Lily had told him everything would be okay the morning they woke up with one another in his bed in her house.
"Remus…" He smiled, for some reason the sound of it turned him on; he rolled over and soon felt a hand touch his face lightly. "Remus! Wake up!" His eyes awoke at the urgency of Lily's voice.
"Lily?" He saw her with the blanket wrapped around her chest, covering her breasts, which for some reason, he was trying not to look at them.
Remus sat up and the sheet that they were both using went a bit lower below his waist. He saw Lily look away, but sensed she was trying not to look. Remus looked around for the comforter and found it on the floor. He picked it up and placed it over his lower half. He had muscle, but nothing as big a six-pack; he was just well built.
Lily looked back over at him and shook her head, placing it in her hands. He instantly knew why her voice was urgent when she had had tried to awake him, they were both in bed together… naked! His head hurt; hangover. His mind was boggled. Remus remembered drinks, going to the pub, sending Peter home alone and hard mosh pit dancing, then… nothing. He looked over at Lily who was still bent over, head in hands. Her hair flooded over her shoulders; it was shoulder length and he had the feeling to reach out and touch it, pull her close to him in his arms and hug her.
Remus popped himself out of the dream bubble he placed himself in and reached out a hand, touching the top of her head. "Lily…" An image of pure ecstasy on Lily's face entered his head. He surprisingly felt himself grow. Pushing the thought out of his head, Remus coaxed Lily to look at him and ask what's wrong.
"Nothing… that's the problem. I don't feel any regret or uncomfortable feeling or guilt even." Remus looked away from her and whispered, "Nor do I…"
Lily leaned closer to Remus. "You don't?" she whispered and he shook his head. She sat up again, a not-so-convincing look of surprise on her face.
Remus wrapped the comforter much more tightly around himself as Lily laid back down, close to Remus and just watched him. It felt like she was staring accusingly at him. He looked down at her. "I wonder what it was like," she said, surprising the hell out of Remus. He blinked and cocked his head, "What?" He was lost up until the point where she found courage within herself to lean up to Remus and kissed him, long and hard. When she lightened the kiss, he found that he was lying down, his hand splayed across her back and head hovering inches above his.
"What if we didn't do anything?" he asked, and for a split of a second, he thought a look of disappointment was on her face.
"Well, if it helps any, I'm aching all over, worse than what James does to me." Remus' eyes closed and his head turned away, scowling. "Don't like that thought then, huh?" she smiled at him, knowing she hit something.
"Yah, my best friend and his girlfriend that I like, shagging downstairs in her bed—"
"No, we've never shagged in my bed. Actually, we've never shagged over here at my house. Normally he invites me over to his house for dinner, which would have been last night."
She sensed the confusion on his face and she shrugged. "He's only been here twice and it's only been to help me with things."
Remus smiled. "So I'm the shag-buddy at your house now, eh?"
Lily laughed and said, "Shut up and just kiss me."
"What if James comes over here?" Remus asked inches away from her face.
"He knows to call muggle way first. Now, Mr. Lupin, if you don't mind, I would like that kiss now."
Remus smiled and began to speak again. " What if he—"
Lily interrupted his talk with another distracting kiss. "You talk to much Remus."
"And your too demanding."
"James likes it." Lily pulled the comforter away from Remus' body and straddled him. He felt his body react to her action.
"So don't I…""Then don't worry. Everything will be all right."
Remus watched them, not responding anymore, well at least not until he felt someone slap his back hard and say, "You alright Remus?"
"Sirius, would you be okay after that?" Jen's voice echoed in his head and looked up at her urgently.
"What?"
Everyone's eyes were on Remus, all phased with different emotions. He smiled and said, "It's nothing, really, I'm just thinking."
Sirius smiled and shook his head, drinking from his beer bottle. "Just don't think too hard, you might loose any kind of muscle control the way you furrow your eyebrows like that. You look like you are going to lunge at someone."
They all laughed and continued on; Remus and Lily passed a faithful look.
Remus, James, and Lily were all sitting in Lily's living room, laughing about old fashion trends. "Yah, those shorts they used to wear makes me wonder why we even bothered turning out straight in the end, "James said, a grin placed on his face.
Remus and Lily laughed, and Remus said smugly, "Yeah, they looked a lot better on girls than guys. Lily, you remember in Muggle Studies when we had to do Mock-Gym? The guys and girls had to wear the same kind of shorts, it was so embarrassing, because all the guys had camel tongues. All the girls were pointing and laughing at us." Lily, Remus and James had tears in their eyes from the flash-back.
"Well, thanks to you Remus, I have to go to the bathroom now." Lily got up, walking past both Remus and James. James slapped her butt and laughed. "Have fun."
"James!" Lily walked away with a smile; Remus' face fell. The green monster was starting on him for the second time that night. He felt like he was going to attack James if he didn't get away.
Remus got up and finished his beer with him. "Well, I'm off to bed. See you tomorrow James."
James gave him a side ways glance. "Are you sure you are okay? Sirius was right, you know, you did look kind of upset –"
"Don't worry about it all right mate?" Remus threw the bottle into the garbage and came back out and moved towards the stairs.
"Are you sure you don't want to talk about –"
"James! I said I didn't, so just fuck off, okay?" Remus turned to him wildly and yelled loudly enough to wake the neighbors. They both heard the toilet flush and the door to the bathroom open. Remus didn't even bother saying night as he turned around and walked up the stairs to the bathroom.
Remus lay in bed, his arm under his pillow holding his head up, his other hand laying across his stomach. He was shirtless (A/N: Oh my word… now who doesn't want to climb into bed with him, please let me know, because you are I-N-S-A-N-E! and the blankets were dropped a little to about the hem of where his pajama pants started. Hehehe.)
Remus was nights away from the full moon, so he decided that it would be better to get used to the cold air some how. He had turned off the transfigured heating and the room was now freezing, but it didn't bother him in the least of ways; he was used to it.
Remus tried to close his eyes many times, but he would end up with visions of Lily and James snogging and shagging one another. It bothered him so much that he kept his eyes open and thought of the time that he could actually remember shagging Lily. He could only barely remember the shag the night of celebrating James' birthday; that was months ago.
Now it was his and he felt like he got nothing, no satisfactory. Remus had seen Lily this morning for breakfast. She stopped before she ran out to work and had kissed him. It was a morning breath kiss from him and a fresh toothpaste kiss from her. Lily said she would give him his present later; he didn't know what it was, but he only knew it wasn't sex, though he truthfully didn't expect it to be sex.
He closed his eyes for the millionth time, but it all failed miserable. Remus' ears suddenly became acute; he had been so busy trying to not think about James and Lily shagging that he hadn't heard the soft padding of feet up the steps until his door opened and he saw a head pop into his door.
"Remus…"
That same soft, sweet and yet seductive voice called through the room. It was almost in a whisper, as not to wake him up, but the tone that her voice was in made it seem like she hoped it woke Remus up.
His voice was surprisingly hoarse from not taking for the past hour and a half. "Yeah Lily?"
Lily came in the rest of the way and closed the door as if she wasn't supposed to be here. She came over to him and sat on the edge of the bed. Remus heard commotion down near her feet before she brought her legs up and around the side of the bed. Automatically, Remus moved over to where they were kind of smashed together though the bed was a king size.
She turned her head to look at Remus. "Why are you so angry every time we're around James? What does he say or do that makes you so mad?"
Remus shook his head. "It's getting close to the full moon. I get on edge this close to the moon."
Lily lifted herself onto her elbow. "You're lying to me."
Remus closed his eyes, still not meeting her eyes. "No, I'm not Lily."
"Yes you are Remus."
"Lily I'm not—"
"Remus! I'm not stupid! I'm scared to think that one day your going to bash his head in."
"Then maybe you shouldn't have slept with me!" Remus' eyes were furious and Lily swore that his hair was literally standing on end. "Before I was fine, I was able to watch James kiss you, hug you, slap your ass and I would just get jealous and now… now I can't stop thinking about you! Every time he touches you, I feel like I want to rip his head off!"
Lily was left speechless. She played with the ribbon on the package meant as Remus' birthday present. Remus instantly felt like an ass for saying what he said. Lily looked at him. "Well, I'm sorry for doing that now. I should have stopped when you were questioning me, but I just couldn't contain myself."
Lily leaned over and placed the box on his chest and she leaned in even more and kissed him on the lips softly. Remus instantly felt aroused, the normal feeling he had before the full moon. Normally he could contain but considering he had been thinking about their shag-fest, he couldn't stop himself.
Remus pressed the kiss harder, expecting the best of things. He heard a thump on the ground somewhere but ignored it, thinking more about how he was going to be. Rough or soft, rough or soft?…
Lily moaned she straddled him and felt his erection underneath her. He caught the moan in his mouth and uttered, "Is James gone?"
His hand rubbed past her, making her moan while she nodded. The urge to stop was strong, knowing that things wouldn't get any better. His moves were heisant, but Lily made sure that he went at a good speed. She took her shirt off for him and she started on her capri's but he stopped her. She flashed him an irritated look.
"Lily, we can't…" He gasped through rugged breathes.
"Like hell we can." She leaned in for a kiss, but he leaned further into the pillow. Lily chased his lips until she held them again and started to persuade him. She tugged at his pajama pants, but he caught her hands, lifting them above his head and grasping the headboard. The kiss separated, but Remus didn't say anything and if she thought he was going to stop, she was wrong.
Remus kissed her lips lightly and then started to kiss down, first her jaw, then her neck, collarbone, the valley between her breasts, the knot where her breast bone end and still further down. The whole way, Lily would take in small breaths of air, trying not to moan to loud to wake anyone up. The kisses got to cold to quickly for her; the cold air in the room was killing her. She whispered his name only once and he understood.
Remus pulled himself up again, kissing seductively along the way. He could tell she was cold and so he pulled her close to him while he played with the comforter, trying to get it up to cover Lily. She laid in his arms even after he pulled the blankets up, but still, she was cold.
Remus turned himself to where he was on top of her. He kissed her slow and long, letting her enjoy it as long as she wished. He lifted her legs to where they laid across his thighs and rocked in a rhythmic beat at first and then soon there was no rhythm or beat and her cries probably did wake the neighbors. With every thrust, she moaned just a little louder and every time she contracted her muscles, Remus thrusted harder.
It was unforgettable night for the both of them as they climaxed, one after the other. James would never know either.
