Thank you for all reviews so far! I really enjoyed reading them. I also have to admit that I really enjoyed torturing all of you after the last chapter... Sorry this one took so long-I had a bit of writer's block. This is a pretty long one, but I think you'll like it, so I hope it's worth the wait. If you haven't realized it yet, this is going to be one of my longer stories. I would say this chapter marks about the halfway point. Anyway, enjoy this next chapter!

Chapter 9: Just the Two of Us

After James left, there was a brief moment of silence shared between Remus and Sirius. It was impossible for one to know what was going through the other's mind, but the electricity that was shooting between them was almost visible. It had been over three weeks since Remus and Sirius had laid eyes on each other for the first time, and the sexual tension between the two of them had been building since that first moment. Now it seemed that all of that tension that had been building since their first meeting was all collected into a ball of energy that seemed to be floating in mid air right between the two of them. Remus was breathing slightly heavily, and Sirius could hear his breathing. It was the sound of that breath that seemed to be the only thing anchoring either of them to reality. Sirius had a look in his eye like a wild animal that had just caught sight of his prey, and even from his distance, Remus could see that he was trembling. The adrenaline coursing through his veins was causing a rushing sound in his ears, and Sirius was certain that his heart was thumping loudly enough to be heard. It was as if everything was happening ridiculously slowly and yet faster than the speed of light at the same time. It was overwhelming for both of them.

Remus was still standing with his back against the sliding glass door, and Sirius was standing diagonal from Remus with the tall table in between them. Sirius was making steady and intense eye contact with Remus that Remus would have to occasionally look away from due to the ferocity. Remus was the first to make a move as he took a few steps forward so that he was closer to Sirius and the table. Remus was now standing on one side of the table with Sirius around the corner on the connecting side as he reached out a shaking hand and placed a piece of paper on the table.

"The bill," Remus said simply. Sirius nodded but did not take his eyes off of Remus. He took a few steps closer but Remus stayed completely still so that they were still on their respective sides of the table but they were only barely two feet from each other. "Your friend seems nice," Remus commented. The wild look in Sirius's eyes was becoming more untamed by the second, and Remus did not know what else to do other than to just keep talking. "How long have you known him?"

Sirius took another step closer to Remus and locked his eyes on Remus's lips as he said, "Forever."

Remus chuckled nervously. "Literally?" Remus asked, not knowing what to say. Out of sheer nervousness Remus licked his lips then bit his bottom lip. This seemed to be the thing that pushed Sirius over the edge. Not another moment passed and Sirius was grasping the back of Remus's neck as he pulled him into a rough kiss. Remus's hands went up in the air in surprise and his mouth was shut fairly tightly. When Sirius tugged at Remus's bottom lip between his own lips in order to grant himself access, however, Remus wrapped his arms around Sirius's waist, pulled him close, and opened his mouth against Sirius's. Sirius grunted as their tongues found each other fiercely. Jolts of electricity were shooting from Sirius's mouth all the way to his toes. Remus tasted so good—like coffee, cherries, and just a tinge of saltiness. Although Remus was still sweating, Sirius could feel him shivering in his arms. Sirius got lost in the kiss for a brief moment as he brought his hands down to cup Remus's ass. Remus groaned and wrapped his arms around Sirius's neck in response. Their mouths were open against each other's and their tongues were massaging each other's as the kiss became a bit more gentle but no less passionate. Despite the change in ferocity, each of their hearts was still thumping madly.

A moment later, Sirius pulled his mouth away from Remus's and Remus groaned once again at the separation. Sirius brought his mouth to Remus's neck as Remus caught his breath. He placed a soft kiss on Remus's neck, causing Remus to shiver yet again. Then, Remus's breath hitched as Sirius slid his tongue from the base of Remus's neck up to the spot right below his ear, and then began nibbling at Remus's ear. Sirius then brought his mouth back to Remus's neck and began sucking at a spot right above Remus's collarbone. Sirius could not get enough of the taste. He had never tasted anything quite so delicious.

Then, Remus did something that sent anger and confusion coursing through Sirius. He pushed Sirius away.

"Don't do this to me again, Remus," Sirius growled. Remus chuckled, which caused Sirius to grow even angrier. "I don't really see what's funny," Sirius said. He turned away from Remus, walked out of the kitchen and down the hall toward his bedroom. "I'm not going to look like an asshole again for whatever fucking reason," Sirius muttered as he walked away.

"Hey," Remus called as he wrapped a hand around Sirius's upper arm and turned Sirius around to face him. He then cupped Sirius's face and pulled him into another deep kiss that Sirius melted into almost involuntarily. Sirius put his hands on Remus's hips and yanked Remus's pelvis against his own. Remus squeaked into Sirius's mouth, and Sirius smiled into the kiss as his tongue wrapped around Remus's. When Remus pulled away, he still held Sirius's face in his hands when he spoke, and Sirius's hands were still gripping Remus's hips in order to keep them close.

"I was just going to say that I'm too gross to do anything," Remus whispered huskily. "I want you, Sirius. I just think I need a shower first."

Sirius smiled. "I say we kill two birds with one stone," he said in a voice laden with lust. Sirius took one of Remus's hands off of his face and interlaced his fingers into it in order to pull Remus to his shower. Remus's chest was clenched in nervousness as he allowed Sirius to drag him along. He was nervous but so very ready.

After a few more steps, Sirius rounded the corner and Remus entered the master bedroom. The king size canopied bed caught his eye first, and the butterflies in his stomach started going mad when he started to think about what he could possibly be doing in that bed in just a short amount of time. Sirius did not pause to let Remus take the room in, and Sirius turned another corner and brought Remus into his large bathroom. There was a shower in the corner separated from the large bathtub that looked nearly like a Jacuzzi. Nearly every surface was made of marble, and Remus felt suddenly even more filthy in a place so clean.

Not concerned about anything but getting Remus naked as quick as possible, Sirius turned around after he closed the bathroom door out of shear habit and brought his hands to the hem of Remus's shirt in order to pull it over the man's head. Remus allowed him to do so, and his heart began to beat even faster when Sirius pulled off his own shirt. Sirius then made quick work of removing Remus's pants, leaving him in only his briefs after he kicked off his shoes. Sirius moved his hands to his own pants in order to undo them, but Remus caught Sirius's hands in his and gave him a look as if to say let me, and he unbuttoned and unzipped Sirius's jeans slowly. Sirius looked at Remus with his arms slightly away from his sides as Remus slid his hands from the entrance of Sirius's jeans to the back. Remus slipped both hands under Sirius's bottoms and cupped Sirius's bare ass in his hands and pulled Sirius close to him. He kneaded and massaged Sirius's ass cheeks in his hands as he grinded his pelvis ever so slightly against Sirius's. All of this was sending maddening shock waves through Sirius who did not know how much more of even this he could take.

Keeping his arms around Sirius, Remus began sliding Sirius's pants down his legs. As he moved the pants further down, Remus went down with them while his hands went smoothly down Sirius's ass, the back of his thighs, past the back of his knees and then to the back of his calves. Remus was now squatting down in front of Sirius's full erection as Sirius's pants pooled at his ankles. Sirius stepped out of his pants and kicked them away as Remus shifted to his knees and admired the long shaft in front of him. Never caring before, Sirius found himself secretly hoping that Remus liked what he saw. From the slight widening of his eyes and the involuntary lick of his lips, Sirius guessed that he did. Sirius could not help but smile at Remus's show of approval.

With a look of very slight hesitation up at Sirius, Remus leaned forward and took Sirius's head into his mouth. Sirius let out a slow, low breath as Remus brought his mouth forward and took all of Sirius's cock into his mouth. Remus then began to move his mouth across Sirius's length much to Sirius's delight.

"Fuck," Sirius growled as Remus began to pick up his pace ever so slightly. Sirius hadn't felt this good in years. He could scarcely remember the last time anyone had made him feel this way. Remus's mouth felt so damn good around his cock and he could hardly believe what was happening. "That feels so good," Sirius whispered with lust coating every single word. Remus smiled and picked up his pace again. Sirius brought his hands down and gripped Remus's light brown hair in his hands as he pushed Remus forward and backward on his cock. Sirius moaned loudly and watched Remus who was looking at what he was doing. At another moment when Sirius was fully in Remus's mouth, Remus hummed softly, and the vibrations sent Sirius reeling. Sirius grunted and pushed Remus harder and faster onto his cock. Remus then began to hum every time Sirius's cock reached the back of his throat. Sirius moaned and groaned and grunted and encouraged Remus further. "So fucking good," Sirius moaned right before Remus began to suck roughly with each backward movement. After Remus did this a few more times, Sirius tensed up and put his hands on Remus's shoulders.

"Remus," Sirius hissed. He applied a bit of force to Remus's shoulders. "Remus, stop," Sirius said as he pushed Remus off of him. Remus looked up at him with some slight confusion and Sirius said, "I don't want to come yet." Remus smiled. "And let me tell you I was damn close," Sirius added. Remus did not saying anything, and Sirius helped him up and led him further into the bathroom, as they were still standing near the door. When they were standing an equal distance from the shower and the bath tub, Sirius—still feeling slightly weak-kneed—said, "Bath or shower?"

Remus raised his eyebrows. "Do you even have to ask?" Remus then pulled his briefs off and blocked Sirius from a frontal view as he walked over to the tub and began to run the water. Bending over slightly, Remus began to pour various salts and soaps into the tub causing it to froth and bubble. Unable to resist touching him for even a few seconds, Sirius came up behind Remus and wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him up so that Sirius's chest was pressed against Remus's back, his erection pressed against his ass. Then, Sirius began sucking gently at Remus's neck as his hand slid down and wrapped around Remus's hard cock. Remus whimpered slightly, followed by a groan when Sirius stepped away from him, leaving Remus feeling oddly cold.

Sirius stepped around Remus and slid into the bath tub. He then gestured for Remus to come to the spot in between his legs, and Remus happily obliged with a slightly bashful smile. Remus could not recall ever feeling so nervous or self conscious about one of his potential partners. Truthfully, he wanted this to be perfect. He didn't want to give himself false hope, but he could not help the thought in the back of his mind that if he made this unforgettable for Sirius, then maybe—just maybe—he would want to be with Remus for real. And for good. All of this was running through the recesses of Remus's mind as he got comfortable against Sirius.

After a few moments of silence as they both relaxed, Sirius reached down and pulled out a small drawer that was hidden in the dark wood paneling that surround the marble tub. In the drawer there were several candles and some matches. Sirius pulled out the candles and placed them on the corners of the tub. Since it was still light outside, Sirius had never turned on the bathroom light, which he was now thankful for. There was still about two hours before the sun would begin to set, but because the sun was on the other side of the house, there was a slight glow in the room from the candles that he had just lit.

The two of them just sat there like that for a while, and Sirius forgot his life temporarily. He forgot about Priscilla, Regulus, James, his job, his family. The only thing he could think about was this moment, right here, with Remus. Remus, however, forgot nothing. He remembered his job, which would be in jeopardy if anyone found out about this. Most importantly, he remembered exactly who Sirius was. He remembered Sirius's wife, Sirius's best friend, Sirius's beautiful home that made Remus's apartment look like a shit hole. Every thought was racing through his head. Yes, his mind was racing. That was until Sirius took the loofa from the bottom of the tub, pushed Remus forward slightly, and began washing Remus's back. Remus moaned softly at the tenderness of Sirius's touch. After Sirius had lathered up Remus's back, he pulled Remus back against him and began to bring the loofa back and forth across Remus's chest and stomach. After a few moments, he slowly slid the loofa south and below the water. Once he reached the sweet spot, Sirius dropped the loofa and used his hand to caress Remus's cock instead. Remus moaned and arched his back causing Sirius to smile seductively. He pumped his hand a few times under the water before he released Remus's hard cock, much to Remus's disappointment. After Remus took a few deep breaths and regained his composure, Sirius instructed him to dip his head below the water so that Sirius could wash his hair.

Sirius lathered up Remus's hair and massaged his scalp, causing Remus's eyes to flutter closed and a soft moan to escape his lips. It was strange but surprisingly sexual to smell his shampoo in Remus's hair. It was a newfound closeness for the two of them as far as Sirius was concerned. After Sirius washed Remus's hair, and after several more minutes of rubs and caresses and touching that was too close but not close enough, Remus seemed to think out loud.

"I can't take this much longer, Sirius," he whispered. "I need more." At this declaration, Sirius did not hesitate before stepping out of the tub and pulling Remus along with him. He threw Remus a towel from the shelf next to him, wrapped a towel around his own waist and walked to his bedroom without needing to tell Remus to follow him.

Sirius was barely dry when he threw off his towel, turned back to Remus as he yanked off his as well, and pulled Remus to him. Sirius leaned in to kiss him, but Remus pushed Sirius away and backwards onto the bed. Sirius scurried backwards and Remus climbed on after him with a seductive grin on his face as he straddled Sirius and began kissing him fiercely. Sirius arched up and into the kiss, and for the first time, he felt Remus's cock rub against his own, sending jolts of electricity throughout his entire body. At that, Sirius pushed Remus up and flipped them over so that he was now above Remus straddling him. Remus bit his bottom lip with a smile as Sirius brought his head down to Remus's neck and began sucking on it gently. The feeling of Sirius's mouth on his neck was making his heart race madly. Sirius then began to travel south and place kisses on Remus's chest. He looked up at Remus with a smile, and knowing where he was planning on heading, Remus stopped him. He was already so close to losing control from just touching and rubbing that he needed the two of them to get down to business. As much as he wanted Sirius's mouth on his cock, he wanted Sirius's cock inside him more, and he was absolutely unwilling to wait any longer.

"Sirius," Remus murmured as he pulled Sirius's face up to be eye level with him. Sirius planted his hands on either side of Remus's head on the bed and pushed his pelvis down so that their cocks would rub together once more. Remus tilted his head back in pleasure while Sirius bowed his to watch their members rub against each other. Sirius started thrusting his cock against Remus's slowly, causing Remus to moan quietly and Sirius to grunt with every thrust. Remus in all honesty could not believe this was finally happening. After weeks of stolen glances, brief touches, and everlasting longing, this was finally going to happen. It felt incredibly surreal, and yet overwhelmingly real at the same time. Sirius looked so good above him glistening with water and a light sheen of sweat, clearly lost in his desires that Remus had to guess had been built up long before Sirius even knew who Remus was. It was clear that he wanted Remus badly, and Remus started to realize just how bad when Sirius started to pick up the pace of his thrusts. Remus moaned loudly and brought his hands to Sirius's hips in order to stop him. "I want you inside me, Sirius," Remus whispered as he brought his hands up to Sirius's face and brought his head down so that their foreheads were touching. "Fuck me," he finished.

Panting slightly, Sirius reached into his side table next to his bed and pulled out a bottle of lube that he used to lather himself up. He was on his knees upright above Remus, and Remus was watching him apply the lube to his cock when something hit Sirius.

"Fuck," he said angrily, shaking his head.

Remus looked concerned. "What?" he put his hands on Sirius's hips.

"I don't have condoms," he said. "Pris and I… Shit, sorry," he was apologizing for bringing up Priscilla and for his lack of protection. "I just haven't needed them in years."

Remus leaned up and put a hand on Sirius's neck in order to pull him into a kiss. After their mouths separated, Remus said, "It's okay. I'm safe. I'm okay with it if you are." Sirius smiled and leaned down to capture Remus's mouth in a kiss once more. Remus then leaned back on the bed and spread his legs apart and bent them up slightly, and he watched as Sirius moved to position himself at Remus's entrance. With one hand on his cock and the other on one of Remus's knees, Sirius leaned in and kissed Remus's inner thigh before he sat back up and began to push himself slowly inside Remus.

"Fuck," Sirius said as he slid in slowly. It was by far the tightest thing Sirius had ever been in. He could feel Remus's muscle constricting and relaxing against his cock, and this alone was going to push Sirius over the edge. He had to stop his movement for a brief moment in order to get himself under control.

Remus, who had been arching his back and closing his eyes in ecstasy, tried to push himself further onto Sirius as he said, "Don't stop." Sirius obeyed and then pushed himself all the way inside Remus. "So good," Remus moaned. Sirius could not speak. He knew his voice would come out in a high pitched squeak if he attempted words. He pulled out slightly and then pushed into Remus with a little force. Remus yelped with pleasure and pain and begged Sirius to repeat that motion. Sirius did so, eliciting another yelp from Remus. Sirius then began a slow steady motion in and out of Remus who was pressing the palms of his hands against the head board behind him. Sirius closed his eyes and began to speed up his thrusts.

"Yes," Remus hissed. "Yes, Sirius, just like that."

Hearing his name tumble from Remus's lips in the heat of passion was almost more than Sirius could take. Sirius leaned forward and began thrusting harder and harder into Remus as he gripped Remus's cock and began pumping it.

"Sirius," Remus moaned loudly as he arched his back even more.

"You like that?" Sirius growled as he pounded harder and harder into Remus. "You like when I fuck you hard like that?" Sirius was bent forward so that his mouth was right by Remus's ear.

"Y-yes, yes, it feels so good," Remus managed to get out.

"What feels good?" Sirius panted in Remus's ear.

"Your cock," Remus whimpered.

"You want me to fuck you harder?"

Remus was in such a state of pure pleasure that he could not even speak for a moment. "Yes… Sirius, yes… Fuck me harder."

With a loud grunt, Sirius pulled Remus up so that Remus was sitting in Sirius's lap and his cock was rubbing against Sirius's stomach. Remus's eyes widened in surprise at how far in Sirius's cock was.

"It's so… deep… inside me," Remus moaned as they sat there without moving for a moment. Then Sirius put his hands underneath Remus's ass and pulled him up slightly just so he could bring him down hard a moment later. Remus's mouth fell open in pleasure and the smallest of squeaks escaped his throat when Sirius hit his prostate.

"Right there?" Sirius asked him. Remus nodded but could not speak as his mouth still hung open. Sirius repeated the motion again and this time Remus released a loud moan that was nearly a scream.

Sirius then began bring Remus up and down hard on his cock while Remus wrapped his arms around Sirius's neck and matched each of his thrusts with a bounce of his own. "Right there, right there, right there," Remus moaned over and over. The feeling of Sirius hitting this sensitive area inside him and the feeling of his cock rubbing against Sirius's stomach was pushing Remus farther and farther, while the sounds of Remus's moans and the constricting of his insides was pushing Sirius over the edge. With those noises and Remus's tight ass, Sirius did not know how much longer he could last. He had been barely holding on by a thread when they started.

"Sirius…" Remus moaned in between thrusts. "Sirius, I… I'm going to come."

"Yeah?" Sirius said, looking right in Remus's eyes. Sirius then pushed Remus onto his back once again and began thrusting in and out of him harder than ever. From the look on Remus's face, Sirius was still hitting his prostate each time. Sirius wrapped a hand around Remus's cock and put the other hand next to Remus's head as he leaned forward close to Remus and pounded hard into him.

"Come for me," Sirius growled. Remus nodded and moaned over and over. "Come for me, Remus," Sirius repeated again.

"Yes!" Remus screamed.

Then, not a moment later, Sirius was shooting inside of Remus as Remus's seed shot out on his and Sirius's stomachs.

Sirius collapsed onto Remus and they both panted loudly for several minutes. This was something neither of them would ever forget, and each of them realized that fact in this moment. How could Sirius go back to being with Priscilla now, knowing how amazing it could be with Remus? How was Remus going to be able to be near their house and not be able to have Sirius every second?

After they both caught their breath, Sirius pulled out of Remus and rolled over onto his back next to Remus. They laid sprawled on their backs naked for only a few seconds before Remus turned over and nuzzled against Sirius. He laid his head on Sirius shoulder, and Sirius brought his arm up to run his hands through Remus's still wet hair. Remus stared up at Sirius and brought his hand up to play with Sirius's lips. Sirius looked at the canopy above him with a small smile on his face, but Remus could not take his eyes off of Sirius. He never wanted to look away.

A moment later, Sirius said, "I think I'm going to need another bath after that."

Remus laughed and kissed Sirius on his shoulder.

They laid like that for several minutes. Sirius looking up and reliving what had just happened, and Remus staring up at Sirius as if he was trying to memorize every curve and mark of his face. After a while of silence, Sirius was the first to speak.

"Can I ask you a question? About the other night?" he said with some hesitancy. His eyes were still looking up at the canopy while Remus studied him even more deeply.

"Sure," Remus said.

Sirius paused and looked like he was thinking of how to formulate his words properly. "Why wouldn't you… We were kissing, and it was clear where things were going, but you said you couldn't… Why?"

For the first time, Remus looked away from Sirius and did not speak for several moments. "I won't sleep with anyone if they aren't sober."

"Why didn't you just say that?"

"I honestly don't know," Remus said truthfully.

Deciding not to press the issue, Sirius only said, "Well, I guess that doesn't matter now." Remus looked up at him and smiled when he saw the smile on Sirius's face. Another long period of time passed and the sun was just beginning to set outside. Sirius's eyes were closed, and Remus's eyes were locked on Sirius as he cupped Sirius's face in one of his hands. Remus could hear Sirius's breathing becoming slower as if was about to drift off to sleep, and Remus wanted to say something before that happened.

"Sirius?"

"Hmm?"

"I really like you," Remus said quietly.

Sirius opened his eyes and looked down at Remus. "I really like you, too," he said without hesitation. Remus smiled and Sirius returned the smile right before he closed his eyes again. Still watching Sirius, Remus realized that he felt strange about lying to Sirius. It was not a complete lie, but he had not told the whole truth either. The truth was that he didn't just like Sirius. As he watched the man fall asleep, Remus began to feel a slight panic but also a lot of excitement when he let the truth run wild in his head.

He was falling in love with Sirius.

Okay, readers, I hope you enjoyed that! If you would prefer to see a dominant Remus in the next love scene, or if you liked dominant Sirius, or if you want to see more of BOTH, let me know! Any and all comments (dominance related or not) are welcome!
