Chapter Twenty-eight;

Severus hit the bed and fell on his back, Sirius climbing over top of him as he removed his shirt; Severus stared up at Sirius, smiling faintly. Sirius grinned and began to pull at the buttons on Severus' robes, groaning every few buttons. "That's it; we're never buying you things with buttons again." Sirius muttered as he finally finished with the last button and pulled Severus' robe off – that being the only thing Severus was wearing besides his boxers. Sirius' eyebrow quirked. "You went nude under your robes?"

Severus groaned. "No. I have underwear on."

"Practically nude then" Sirius corrected, pushing Severus up on the bed so his head would rest on the pillow, and then pulling down the boxers Severus wore to leave him completely naked. "And now nude!"

Severus rolled his eyes. "Sirius?"

"Yes, love?" Sirius asked as he leaned down and kissed Severus' neck.

"Do shut up" Severus said, putting his hand on the back of Sirius' head.

Sirius chuckled and nodded his head, slowly leaving chaste kisses as he trailed down Severus' neck to his shoulder, and then from his shoulder down his chest until he hit a nipple, which he gently nipped at to see Severus' reaction – which was a gasp and his face turning completely red. "Like that, love?" Sirius whispered, wrapping Severus' legs around his waist and grinning when Severus tightened them to pull him closer.

Severus nodded his head, and Sirius poked his side to get him to talk. "Yes…" Severus whispered in embarrassment, turning his head to the side.

Sirius frowned. "You shouldn't be embarrassed…" he told him, nipping once more and pulling the other in between his index and middle finger to twist.

Severus moaned softly and bucked up against Sirius, Sirius biting his bottom lip when their groins met. "Calm down, love. We have all night."

"All night?" Severus asked, looking up.

"Yes, all night." Sirius said, smirking.

"But… I thought…" Severus began, quickly snapping his mouth shut.

"Thought what?" Sirius asked, resting his forehead against Severus'.

"I thought… it only lasted a few minutes…" Severus whispered.

Sirius was quiet for a minute, trying to figure out what the hell Severus was talking about before it hit him. "It… it can, I admit. But you can also take things slow, um, you know with foreplay and stuff" Sirius said, hoping Severus would understand.

"Oh…" Severus replied, nodding his head. "Okay."

Sirius smirked. "Which I love foreplay – so unless we haven't shagged like bunnies for a long length of time after this, then we'll be going very slowly." Sirius explained, nipping at Severus' neck.

"Bunnies..?" Severus asked as his breathing accelerated.

Sirius smirked as he pulled away and struggled to get his pants and boxers off. "Yes. Believe it or not – I can be quite a sex addict after I've gotten it" He joked, reclaiming his spot back hovering over Severus.

Severus rolled his eyes. "Oh?" He asked, faintly smiling up at Sirius.

"Mm." Sirius hummed, reaching over on the bedside table and grabbing a bottle.

Severus stared at the bottle in curiosity, pushing himself up to rest on his elbows. "What's that?"

"What? This?" Sirius asked, shaking the bottle and grinning.

"Yes…" Severus said a bit annoyed.

"It's a potion" Sirius said, quirking his eyebrow.

"Why would we ne-" Severus began, but then paused and turned a bright shade of red and fell back down to lie on his back.

Sirius' lips curled into a smirk and he pulled the top off the bottle and held it up to Severus' nose. "Sniff. It smells amazing."

"I don't want to sniff it, Sirius." Severus said, rolling his eyes.

"Please" Sirius begged, trembling his bottom lip.

"Ugh" Severus groaned, taking a sniff and staring at Sirius. "What is that?"

"It's cherry-smell." Sirius replied, grinning from ear to ear.

Severus rolled his eyes again. "And?"

"I like cherries…" Sirius whined, leaning forward to push his lips quickly against Severus'. "Ready love?"

Severus leaned his head forward to deep the kiss and frowned when Sirius spoke. "Ready for what?"

"For me to prepare you?" Sirius said, smirking against his lips.

Severus turned bright red, and closed his eyes tightly to curse himself in his mind for blushing. "Yes…" He whispered, opening his eyes to stare into Sirius'.

Sirius' lips twitched into a grin, and then he pulled back to rest on his knees, slowly pouring some of the liquid onto his fingers, watching Severus with glazed over eyes. Severus watched the liquid until he could feel his cheeks heating up, then he laid back on his back to stare at the ceiling, waiting for what Sirius was about to do.
