Note To The Readers: I am sorry it has taken me so long to get a post up, and I am also sorry that this one is shorter than all of the others. I was going to go in one direction, then changed my mind and went with the letter thing. It's a little rough but I have never done anything like it before, so bare with me. I have been thinking about getting a Beta, anyone out there want to Volunteer? I will try to post more often, hopefully I won't go another month in between!


Being Ginny's Maid of Honor meant that not only did she have to help decorate for the wedding, help with the invitations, but she was also helping to plan her bachelorette party. She had talked with Ginny about what she wanted, and then they both agreed to have it early not the night before the wedding, that way they could have all the fun they wanted and not have to worry about looking great the following day. The guest list was the easy part, herself, Ginny, Luna, Audrey, Fleur and Angelina. Everyone was bringing gifts, mostly for the wedding night, Hermione had spoken with a specialty bakery about an erotic cake, and Fleur and Angelina were bringing the food, and Luna had offered to help her with the decorations. So all in all she was done planning, all of the girls were staying at Hermione's, that way if anyone had too much to drink they didn't have to try and get home."

"If the guys are smart, they are doing their stag night early as well." She hadn't spoken to any of the guys, her last few days of work had been crazy, more paperwork and presentations. It had been crazy, and she was starting to wonder if she was going to hear from Remus again, his first letter had been a little formal, sort of like an opening statement, he filled her in on everything he was doing at work, and told her all about Teddy and there was only a small paragraph at the end reminding her that he was sorry for over reacting that he really wanted to work things out and that most importantly, he missed her.

But that had been over a week ago and he had yet to write back. She knew though that he was probably just as busy as she was, what with the Holidays coming up, everyone was trying to get things done, or to a good stopping point before they all headed off for their Christmas Holidays.

She had opted out of the weekly lunch at the Burrow to enjoy her only day off this week. Hermione had her hair pulled back into a bun, and was still in her pajama's even though it was three in the afternoon. For the first time in about ten days she was finally able to completely relax. That was until she heard a tapping at her window. She pulled herself up with a groan and slid the window open shivering at the cold air that blew inside.

"Well hello there" she said running her hand underneath the owls chin before taking the letter from him. The owl didn't hesitate before he flew across the room and perched just above her fireplace and hooted contently.

Hermione glanced down at the letter and saw that she recognized the handwriting as Remus' before she settled down in her arm chair and bit her lip as she slid the letter open.

My Hermione,

I am sorry it has taken me so long to write back, I am sure you know how busy things can get at the Ministry around this time of year. And I've just found out that my trip for the New Year has been canceled, it seems that everyone is going to come here instead, so I won't have to leave Teddy for another week long trip.

Teddy keeps asking about you wants to know where his Miney is. I've told him that you are just as busy as I am at work, and that you miss him too. He has been working on your Christmas present all week with help from his Gran. You are really going to love it, it was his idea, though it took us a while to figure out what it was he wanted to do, and he also keeps wondering when we are going to put up the tree. Andromeda has already put one up, she said that Teddy talked her into it, said it would be a good surprise for me. He is such a handful, and I can't wait until he starts school.

I've thought about you every day since our last encounter. But I still find myself angry when I think about you with another man, his hands on you, his lips on your skin, but then I have to remind myself that it was largely my fault. I was more than jealous that he was able to have you that way, be intimate with you.

I know that I have put allot of strain on our potential for a relationship but I have been confused and worried every since that first kiss. I can still taste you sometimes, and when I'm around you surrounded by your scent I can literally feel my temperature rise and I find it hard to control myself that much was evident that night at the Weasley's. The feel of you underneath me was surreal and if I hadn't of caught his scent I might have taken you right there on the sofa.

Hermione's breath caught in her throat and her chest was rising and falling slightly, his other letter hadn't been anything like this. She was so hot, and just at his written words. He must have thought the letter writing was a good way to get his thoughts off his chest, and she was more than happy to keep reading. She shook her shirt for a minute, feeling hot she reached up and rubbed the back of her neck before she looked back down at his letter.

And as much fun as that would have been, I know I would have lost all composure if I had heard you call out my name while arching underneath me and I don't want our first time, if we ever have one, to be like that. You deserve much more than that and I plan to give you exactly what you deserve.

I apologize if I got a little explicit; I just wanted you to know what you do to me. I don't want you to doubt what I feel for you, it goes beyond just how wonderful you are, your charm, your intelligence, your kindness, how wonderful you are with Teddy, but I wanted you to know that I am very attracted to you as well.

We both look forward to seeing you at Christmas when we visit the Burrow; Teddy would never forgive me if he didn't get to see his Miney or Harry, until then love.

Yours,

Remus

How could he possibly think that she didn't like what he had said, it was sweet, honest, and it got to her? She couldn't have imagined a better letter. And being the studious girl that Hermione was, she got up and walked right over to her desk to write him back, to give him a taste of his own medicine and let him know how he makes her feel. She smiled to herself thinking that she would wait and send it to him tomorrow morning, that way he would get it while he was in the office.


Work had been absolutely crazy for the past week and Remus knew that it would only get worse. With Christmas so close everyone was rushing around trying to make sure they got everything finished. Remus had actually take some time off around Christmas and even saved a week around Harry's wedding, he needed a break and thought that spending that time with Teddy and hopefully Hermione would be just the ticket. He had sent her his second letter yesterday and had yet to receive a response. He was starting to worry that he had put a little too much honesty in his last letter. He hadn't really been thinking while he was writing, he just let the words flow and when he had re-read it he hesitated before he sent it.

"Too late now" he said to himself as he leaned back in his chair and ran his hands over his face.

"You alright Remus?" He looked up to see Harry standing in the door way.

"Of course, this week has just been horrible."

"Tell me about it, we've had more calls this week then all of last month." Harry laughed. "But I am looking forward to the big vacation time coming up. I am glad they let me take so long." He crossed his arms over his chest and then added "I just stopped by to see if you wanted to have lunch today?"

"Sure Harry, at 1 down in the Café?" Harry nodded and ducked at the same time as an owl flew in and dropped Remus' mail on his desk.

"I'll see you later." Harry said with a grin as he strolled out of the office. Remus nodded and then looked down at the letter knowing immediately that it was from Hermione. He would recognize her handwriting anywhere, so neat and precise.

Before unfolding the letter he waved his hand and made sure his office door was shut. He had no idea what was in the letter but he didn't want any interruptions. He took a deep breath and looked down at her words.

My Dearest Remus

I couldn't agree with you more, work has been absolutely crazy. It seems that with the Holidays right around the corner that everyone is doing their best to catch up on late work. Rather annoying really, if they would just take care of assignments as they got them, this wouldn't happen. Maybe I need to come up with a work plan for various departments, just to ensure that build up like this doesn't happen every year.

I am now extremely excited to see what Teddy is making me for Christmas, he can be very creative when he wants to be and if he has help…well lets just say that I am really looking forward to seeing whatever it is. And of course I will be stopping by the Burrow for Christmas, it's tradition after all. I know that Harry will want to see Teddy as well. And I think that Teddy will be happy to see Victorie, I think they are going to have an interesting relationship.

I've been thinking about you as well, just as much as I always have if that tells you anything. To be perfectly honest I don't like the idea of anyone else's hands or lips on me, in fact just thinking about this now I can almost feel your lips against my neck, just like that first kiss. A kiss that made me weak in the knees, a kiss that would have opened the door to anything you wanted. All you would have had to do was ask and I would have done almost anything.

That night at the Burrow, on the sofa I was almost sure I was going to get what I wanted, what I've wanted for longer than I am willing to admit. You are so strong Remus in everything you do, your touch, your kiss. You set my skin on fire.

Just thinking about you now makes me hot and short of breath. You wouldn't believe how many times I've had to relief the tension myself, all using the few short moments we've shared together. I try not to let my imagination get the best of me, I don't want to ruin any potential surprise. And you don't have to doubt that we will have a first time together, I'm just not sure when it will happen.

You have fun at Harry's Stag party tomorrow night and I will see you on Christmas. It's getting late, almost time for dinner, so I will send this to you in the morning. I've got something personal to handle before I go to sleep tonight.

Thinking of You

Hermione

Remus let out a low groan as he finished the letter, his witch was going to kill him and he hadn't even set eyes on her in over a week. He shifted in his seat and his eye rolled as he felt the friction he created against his now hard erection. Did she have to end her letter with thinking of you, all he could think about now was what she could have been doing last night while thinking about him. The rest of his day was going to be hard, extremely hard.


"What's got you in such a good mood?" Hermione looked over at Ginny a smile still on her face and shrugged her shoulders. So far Ginny bachelorette party was allot of fun. Luna had offered to let them have it at her flat. Hermione and Luna had done it up real nice, with decorations and banners and all manner of muggle bachelorette fun. They had games food drinks, everything a girl could want without having to go out.

"If I didn't know any better I'd say she's had sex," Luna said with a smirk as she set down a large trey of fire whiskey shots.

"What in Merlin are all of those shots for?" Hermione said deciding to ignore the sex comment.

"What kind of bachelorette part would this be without a drinking game?" Angelina said rubbing her hands together "And now we are ready for I never."

"Are we sure this is a good idea?" Hermione asked looking down at the shots, "I mean we've already had quite a bit."

"Oh come on" Ginny said slurring her words slightly "It's a party just relax."

"Easy for you all to say you can go home to your respective men and have sex" Hermione mumbled in what she thought was a low voice but they all heard her anyway. Sympathetic advice went out to her, and some others said that she just needed to jump in and go for it. But Hermione knew that she couldn't do that, well she didn't want to do that she had been enjoying the letters to much to stop them now.

"You have more self control than I did" Angelina said.

"Tell me about it Bill iz irresistible." Fleur practically purred as she pushed her hair back from her face.

"Percy is quite satisfactory as well" Hermione's eyes widened, it almost sounded like she was trying to defend her relationship but one look at her face and anyone would be able to see that she really meant it.

"Enough guy talk, let's talk drink" Hermione said taking one of the shots and downing it quickly.


My Sweet Hermione,

Your last letter left me hard for the rest of the day, in fact I am still feeling the effects of your words on me, your words mixed with my memories is doing a number on me. The Stag night party was typical, good food, lots of whiskey, and even a strip club. Everyone else seemed to have a good time and enjoy the entertainment but I could only think about you and the fact that you are the only woman I want to see half naked or naked. No one else.

I could spend this letter talking about everything I want to do to you, everything I want to share with your physically but I don't think I can take much more. Instead I am going to dedicate a whole section to writing ever Teddy asks me to tell you:

Miney where you? When I see you? I got a new pet. Moony lives with Gran. And just so you know he came up with that all on his own. Chrismas soon, presents. He just grinned and took off toward his bedroom. I think that means that he is done for now.

I can't wait to see you at Christmas I found the perfect gift for you the other day, I know that you are going to love it. I miss seeing you and while I enjoy writing you letters I can't wait to talk to you in person, brush my hand through your hair, see your smile and hear your laugh. I never realized how much I enjoy those things until I wasn't around them anymore.

I'm sorry this letter is going to be short, but I've made a deal with Teddy and we are about to head to the park. Hope you enjoyed your party love.

Missing You,

Remus

That was the letter waiting on Hermione when she finally got home from her night out with the girls which turned into almost two days. She was glad to have thought to make a hangover potion before getting together with everyone. She couldn't imagine getting home if she had a splitting head ache. She read through the letter three times smiling contently. His words were sweet and the fact that he let Teddy have some input made her happy. This relationship she was hoping for wasn't just with Remus but with Teddy as well.

She wasted no time in writing him back, it was probably a record for her and she couldn't help but smile as she sent the letter out the window.


"Go on get cleaned up and I will make us some lunch" Remus said giving Teddy a slight push who laughed and headed down the hallway to the bathroom. He headed into the kitchen ready to put together some sandwiches but found a letter sitting on the table. He grinned and leaned against the table as he opened it.

My Remus,

Please tell Teddy that I can't wait to see him and that it won't be until Christmas when we all go to the Burrow. Tell him that I miss him and ask him what kind of pet Moony is, though I have a feeling it's a cute little puppy.

I smiling right now at the thought of a small Moony puppy, and my heart is fluttering thinking about my grown Moony. If I thought it was rough before feeling sexually frustrated because of you it is nothing compared to how I have been feeling since we started exchanging letters. You are all I can think about most of the time.

At the party everyone started talking about how sexually pleasing their men where and I proceeded to get a lot of unsolicited advice and got drunk.

I'm starting to think maybe the first time we see each other shouldn't be when we all get together at the Burrow. If we wait until then I may make a completely full of myself in front of my extended family and all the children. And we wouldn't want that would we? We could get caught up in the moment and end up having sex against the wall on the stair case.

Did I tell you that's been a reoccurring dream of mine, we get together for Christmas like we planned and the heat between us is insane, we ended up going up stairs to check on Teddy who was taking a nap and before we hit the top floor your tongue is massaging mine and my legs are around your waist my skirt hiked up panties pushed aside and you are buried deep inside me.

And as appealing as that is to me, now and any time I think about that's now how I want the first time to go. So I propose that we get together middle of this week, spend some time together that way it won't be so bad when we get together at the Burrow. No sex of course, at least not yet.

I miss you Remus, let me know what you think.

Wanting To Kiss You

Hermione

His eyes reread the same paragraph multiple times before he felt a tugging on his pants. Teddy was looking up at him with big eyes.

"Lunch?"

He moved through the kitchen Teddy chattering behind him but his mind glued to one image, the one Hermione had painted in her letter. She was probably right, and so he would agree to see her, in fact he was going to arrange for Andromeda to keep Teddy for the night so that they could be alone, so that whatever happened, no little eyes would walk in on them.
