DISCLAIMER: I do not own the world of HP….boo hoo
I know this is a short chapter and I do apologize, but I recently broke my ankle and the meds they gave me for the pain knock me out most the day. I will try and update again within the next two weeks.
Thank you to all of you who had read and reviewed and special thanks to my new BETA Messer-Moony-sezs-awhoo
Chapter 8
Sleeping Together
RPOV
We stayed up talking to my parents well into the evening. It was almost 10 by the time we decided to call it an evening. Heading into my bedroom I could tell Hermione was nervous, she was trying hard to hide the fact but the pink on her cheeks gave her away.
"Um, you can change in the bathroom, I'll change in here." I offered.
"Okay." She then went over to her bag, pulled out her things and headed down the hall to the bath room. I quickly undressed then pulling on a T-shirt and a clean pair of boxers then getting into bed.
I didn't expect anything to happen simply because we would be sharing a bed, but I have to admit having her that close to me in just her night clothes, I had a feeling it would be rather tempting. A few moments later she reentered the room. My jaw dropped slightly as she walked toward me wearing a very sheer and very short light pink night dress. I pulled back the covers inviting her in. She gave a small smile as she climbed into bed.
To my dismay she rolled over on her side facing the wall rather than me. I could not allow that. I slowly scooted closer to her wrapping my right arm around her, I then nuzzled my head into her hair taking in the smell of her strawberry shampoo. I then decided to place small kisses down her neck. I could hear her breathing become more rapid as my lips made their way down to her collar bone. I then slowly moved my hand to her hip and ….
"Remus, we are in your parent's home."
She was using my own words against me. Damn! "They won't know, love."
"It doesn't matter. We have had this conversation before, remember."
"Yes." I sighed.
"Besides I'm tired."
"Alright, Good night." I reluctantly pulled myself away from her and rolled onto my side so our backs were facing each other.
I dreamt about her all night and when I woke the next morning I found myself wrapped around her. My arms around her waist and my feet entangled with hers. I looked down at her beautiful face, she was smiling. I wondered why, soon my question was answered.
"Oh, Remy." She moaned in her sleep.
That was an invitation I couldn't resist. "Do you like that?" I whispered in her ear.
"Yes, do it again." She told me.
Of course I didn't know what it was exactly she was dreaming about so I decided a passionate good morning kiss would suffice. I gently rolled her on her back before crashing my mouth into hers. Her eyes shot open, however even in her now waking state she was eager to kiss back. It was only after almost a full minute that we finally pulled apart.
She smiled longingly up at me. "I was dreaming about you." She admitted.
"I know, I heard." She blushed. "Perhaps soon we can make the leap from dreams to reality." I said as I wrapped the ends of her hair around my finger tip.
"Maybe."
HPOV
I couldn't help it. I dreamt about him all night, and needless to say we were not reading. Waking up and finding it all a dream made me regret thwarting his advances the previous night. I pulled off the warm covers and hopped out of bed. I then quickly grabbed my things and headed to the bathroom to prepare for the day.
I knew we didn't have much planned for the day. Honestly I was hoping to be able to spend some time reading some of the new books I received for Christmas. After slipping on my jeans, T-shirt and jumper and headed back to the room. Opening the door my eyes were greeted by a rather pleasant surprise. Remus' bare bum. He pulled up his boxers when he had heard that I came in but it was too late, I saw the goods.
"You know you could have locked the door." I suggested and he pulled on his trousers.
"Sorry, but I'm sure you didn't mind the view."
"No I didn't." I admitted as I sat down on the edge of his bed. "So, what are the plans for today?"
"Nothing special, I believe my mum mentioned wanting to bake, you are more than welcome to help her."
I knew he said that jokingly despite his straight face. He knew I couldn't cook or bake to save my life.
"Um, perhaps that's more up your alley." I joked back. Remus laughed. God I love his laugh.
"No. You know, we could hike up Debanon Hill."
"What's so exciting about Debanon Hill?" I asked curiously.
"Nothing really, I used to go up there a lot when I was a kid. It's really beautiful up there. The hillside is covered in wild flowers and the view is amazing."
"Won't it be covered in snow?"
Remus sighed. I'm afraid I burst his bubble. "Yes I suppose it would be."
"We should go anyway." I said kissing him quickly on the cheek before standing from the bed. "I could use the exercise."
Remus ginned at me before pulling back down to the bed and kissing me passionately. "I love you." He told me before once again kissing me.
"I love you too." He pulled me towards his lips once again however I reluctantly pulled away. "As much as I would love to continue this, my stomach is growling at me."
"Oh, of course. Do you think we could pick it back up again later?"
"I will be looking forward to it." I pressed my lips to his cheek, lingering just long enough taste him a little with my tongue.
"Oh, Mione". He said in a rather husky voice before pulling me onto his lap the kissing me fiercely. "I think we should skip breakfast." He said placing his hands under my jumper attempting to pull it over my head.
"I-
Before I could agree we were interrupted by a knock at the door. "Breakfast is ready." His mother called.
Remus growled before pulling his hands back out of my jumper. "We could just ignore her." I suggested.
"No." He sighed standing up from the bed. "She would know what we were doing and I would never hear the end of it.
