A/N: Thanks for the reviews and support guys! Hope you enjoy this chapter!
After Hermione returned from the Potter's later that afternoon, she was seriously considering taking Ginny up on her offer for a girl's weekend. She didn't want to mention it to either of the boys in case they got irrationally possessive in some way. And she was mostly thinking about Sirius. Although the morning with both have them hadn't turned out exactly how she hoped; she was happy to find them both sitting at the dining room table eagerly awaiting her return.
"We cooked you dinner, love," Sirius smiled brightly when she walked into the room. The dining room table was inordinately big and they rarely ever ate there. Sirius sat at the head of the dark cherry wood piece of furniture.
"Correction, I cooked, he sampled," Remus interjected. He seemed in a much better mood and was smiling as well. Hermione took the seat across from the werewolf and surveyed the meal before her.
"And it is delicious, I assure you," the shaggy haired man smiled at his girlfriend. She put a forkful of the pasta with shrimp in her mouth and 'mmm'd' appreciatively to both men.
"Remus this is wonderful!"
"Hey, hey now…" Sirius joked playfully but Remus blushed at the sincere compliment. They chatted amiably about all of their days for a few moments, but Hermione wasn't ignorant. She knew that the delicious, romantic dinner had to be meant for something. There were even candles on the table.
"What's this all about?" she asked finally, and although Sirius gave her a well-rehearsed look of denial, Remus didn't bother.
"We are both really sorry about this morning," Lupin said with a sad smile.
"So does that mean?" Hermione's heart fluttered. Although Ginny had basically convinced her over the last few hours that a threesome with them was the worst idea in the world, she wouldn't mind it again.
"No, we haven't changed our minds kitten..." Sirius answered her directly and her face fell a little bit, "But we do have some news to tell you…"
"Tomorrow when we go back to school, I'll be staying there permanently and Sirius will be staying alone here," Remus said after swallowing a large sip of Ogden's finest.
"But why?" she asked incredulously.
"Well, we've talked and decided that you being both of our girlfriends', while wonderful, is starting to put a bit of a strain on our relationship…"
"And we don't really want to know what the other does with you. We want to continue from here on out privately, and separately, so that Pads and I can stay friends…"
"And you can't be influenced by anyone else but yourself if you decide to come to any decision," Sirius finished with a sigh.
She regarded both of them quizzically for a moment before breaking a smile, "Who knew both of you could be so logical? I love both of you so much and I was starting to think this was all going to end up in one heaping mess!"
Remus and Sirius shared a tentative glance. "We hope this prevents most of any mess," Remus told her, reaching across the table to hold her hand for a second and she squeezed his back. Although she felt slightly disappointed, she knew it was for the better. She could pursue separate relationships with both of them and it was the mature thing to do. They finished eating and the second that Sirius started clearing the plates, Hermione knew something else was amiss. Sirius Black never, ever cleaned up any mess even if she had made it.
Remus took the small opportunity to ask Hermione for a moment alone and proceeded to lead her to the library. He closed and locked the door behind them and the unreadable expression on her face only made her more nervous. He sat down on his tan, wing backed chair by the fire place and she joined him there, curling her small body up on top of his. He took the embrace gratefully and nuzzled his face into her hair for a second.
"What's wrong?" she whispered.
"I have something I have to tell you," he replied in a voice equally as soft. That was the way Ron had started the "I cheated on you" conversation, and her heart fell to the depths of her stomach.
Hermione closed her eyes to brace herself for bad news, still holding onto the muscular body of her lover, clutching at his shabby tweed coat.
"The other day Tonks sent me a letter. And I met up with her. I wanted to hear her out and I didn't like what I heard. She said that she wanted to get back together and get married and have children. But I don't want to do that with her. And she kissed me…"
Hermione couldn't hold in the sob that had been forming since he had said her name and it burst out of her at mention of the kiss.
"No..no I promise I pushed her away, I have to be honest with you Hermione, I've felt so guilty…"
"You only feel guilty when you know you've done something wrong!" she said, pulling away from him and looking at him with a mixture of hurt and anger.
"Please believe me when I tell you she means nothing to me. I wanted answers and closure and I didn't want you finding out from anyone else," Remus begged but Hermione was off of his lap and pacing the library trying to calm herself down.
"You know I am not the type to say this…but I really do hate her," Hermione finally told him. She hadn't wanted to. It made her feelings for Remus all the more real. She was jealous, completely jealous, and it was strangling her heart. She knew she was overreacting a bit, because he had rejected her, but she couldn't help it.
"'Mione, I don't love her. I love you," he said helplessly from his chair, his eyes following her intently.
"But you wanted to mark her first! And you wanted a life with her…you can have that now so why wouldn't you be tempted?"
"Because I've had enough of her bullshit and I've seen her true colors, that's why," he was very cold and matter-of-fact when he said it and his amber eyes were begging her to believe him.
She paced back and forth a few times. Her mind believed what he was saying, but her heart was doing flips and thrumming against her ribcage. It scared her that she was so deeply in love with him that she would ever lash out like this out of jealousy.
"I don't want you to ever see her again…" the words left her mouth before she could stop them and she looked thoroughly embarrassed afterwards.
"I wasn't planning on it love," Remus sighed, patting his thighs for her to come back to him. She caved and crawled back onto his lap.
"I can't believe myself for being like this…" she admitted.
"I expected much worse, honestly. I knew you would be angry. I don't blame you. I shouldn't have ever gone in the first place. It was the worst mistake in the world and I am truly sorry," Remus said, kissing her forehead before tilting her chin up so that her eyes found his, "Forgive me?"
"How could I not?" she smiled and kissed him. It was the end of their distance, and there was genuine forgiveness in the way she held him. She understood that if she was so jealous over Tonks, she could only imagine how jealous Sirius and Remus were of each other and knew they were being smart about the new arrangement.
After a few blissful moments of snogging, Remus picked her up in his arms and carried her out of the library. She playfully fought against him until she saw that the living room of the flat was completely re-organized into something every muggle schoolgirl dreamed their sleepovers would look like.
There were plush pillows and blankets everywhere, the furniture completely removed and there was a sheet fort, held up by magic instead of ingenuity. Sirius was smiling in the middle of it all.
"Is all well with you lovebirds?" he asked, clearly in the know about the conversation they just had. Remus smiled and Sirius was then free to gesture around at his creation, "Do you like it?"
"I love it, but…why?" she grinned, bounding into the pillows and hugging Sirius who picked her up and spun her around playfully. They were knee deep in the pillows and Remus had waded his way in as well.
"Because we love you and wanted to do something special on our last night all together. To make you happy," Remus explained, grabbing her from behind and pulling her down onto the soft floor covering. Sirius joined them, laughing.
Their rolling around soon turned into a pillow fight and feathers were flying everywhere after Sirius took to making it his personal mission to win.
He beat down Remus and Hermione into a fit of giggles and once again they found themselves all next to each other in a heap of limbs. When their breathing quieted, Remus took her under the makeshift blanket fort that was rather roomy inside. There were some candles floating in the corners of it, and all the pillows under it were a deep crimson.
"It's gorgeous," Hermione whispered as the werewolf laid her down in the middle of it all. Sirius crawled to lie next to her, wrapping his arms around her.
"See, I'm not such a sod after all," he joked and she kissed him hard. His talented hands snaked down to her arse and gave it a firm squeeze. She giggled into the kiss, her hands tangling themselves in his hair as Remus propped himself up on his elbow and watched.
He was trying his best to hold in his jealousy so that he could enjoy her movements. It was an interesting study—the way she moved with Sirius as compared to himself –- and he knew Sirius was curious too.
When Sirius lifted her arms and slowly inched off her shirt, Remus grabbed hold of her waist and pulled her towards him. She grinned before kissing him, his hands moving to grab her firm breasts over her lacy black bra and it was Sirius' turn to watch as Remus slipped her out of her jeans and she wrapped a leg wantonly over his waist, pulling herself closer and grinding against the already pronounced bulge of his trousers.
Hermione was already so wet thinking about what was ahead for her, knowing that although it wasn't their favorite thing in the world—they were doing this to make her happy, and it would be the last time it would ever happen. She enjoyed relinquishing herself back and forth to each man. Both of their caresses were so different. Remus' were unhurried, and Sirius' were passionate. The lazy circles Remus drew on her bare back collided so deliciously with Sirius' pinches up her thighs and fervent rubbing of her bud through her now transparent panties.
They just knew how to move with her, and together, and she would miss it.
Sirius was the first to fully undress and she straddled herself over him before sliding down onto him with a low moan. Remus unbuttoned and kicked off his trousers, beginning to stroke his already throbbing length as he watched Hermione bounce up and down on his friend. Her hair was in her face and she was biting her lip to keep from losing it so early on. Sirius had his hands on her ass, holding her so tightly Remus could see marks forming there as he guided her up and down on him. Remus finally moved behind her, running a finger up her spine and then kissing her hard on the neck, sucking to the point where the wolf almost surfaced and bit down, but he forced that part of him back successfully.
Sirius got greedy, bucking himself up into her hard and it was Hermione who placed her hands firmly on the animagus' chest and pushed him down, rolling off of him and into the arms of her other lover. Remus didn't hesitate, pushing her onto her back and hovering over her before kissing each of her perfect breasts and trailing down her stomach to her center. Hermione tensed, loving the way Remus kissed her down there more than anything and she sighed happily as his lips met her folds. He licked her slowly, but with an intense pressure that built up that wonderful ball of pleasure in her lower stomach until she could hardly contain in anymore. Sirius was lying next to them, stroking her soft face with his hand lovingly in between kisses. She stroked his length as Remus moaned from her pussy, loving her taste.
"Oh please, both of you…I need you…" she begged and Remus responded immediately, moving swiftly from kissing her to plunging into her, long, deliberate thrusts that steadily drove her to louder and louder moans. Sirius straddled the top half of her body and she leaned up to take him in her mouth. It was the first time he had felt her lips around his cock, and he almost came undone right then and there.
Remus grabbed onto Sirius' shoulders and pushed him so that he fucked Hermione's mouth. Both men's thrusts into her coincided perfectly and she was writhing in pleasure. Both of them were calling out her name and her moans were a sexy, jumbled mix of both of theirs.
Sirius couldn't hold on any longer, he pulled himself out of her mouth and came onto her lovely breasts, having wanted so badly to mark her there with his cum for ages now. Remus and Hermione came at roughly the same time, her losing control seeing Remus' hands on Sirius and Sirius spilling himself on her.
Sirius moved so that Remus and Hermione could ride out their orgasms. He watched the passion in both of their eyes and fell in love with Hermione even more as he watched the intricacies of the way her face scrunched up when she came and then relaxed, her long lashes fluttering in a daze and her mouth gaping open just a little bit.
Remus slid out of her, panting and fell to her side, holding her close.
"I love you.." he whispered and it hurt Sirius inside to hear it, to watch her smile from it.
"I love you more," she giggled back and Sirius claimed her other side, kissing her cheek.
"And me?" he asked as she turned to him with wide eyes.
"I'm madly in love with you," she told him, running her finger down her chest drenched in his seed to show him she loved being his.
With a few more stolen kisses each, the three of them fell asleep with the dim light of the candles under the tent in the living room, and they couldn't have been happier in that moment.
