Welcome Back (Remus) - COMPLETE

[remuslupin]

Feeling all the tiny muscles of Ferret's sides trembling under his touch, Remus ran his hands back up and down her torso several more times. As Ferret's tongue withdrew Remus let out a soft keening sound of disappointment, deepening the kiss to chase the fading sparks of pleasure. Sucking Ferret's lower lip into his mouth as their lips and tongues danced and entwined, Remus moaned into the kiss and started scattering open-mouthed kisses all over her lips and mouth.

Desperate for more bodily contact, Remus let himself fall down until he was stretched out lying full-length on the bed, smiling up at Ferret, panting and with flushed cheeks. Her grip on his shirt meant that she was dragged down with him to lie atop him, and Remus let his hands creep across from her sides to wrap around her bare back under the shirt before flipping them over so he was resting on top of Ferret, her curves pressed against flat of his chest.

Pulling back for a moment to gasp for air Remus looked into Ferret's eyes, searching for any trace of uncertainty about what they were doing. "Is this okay?" He whispered into her ear, scattering kisses around the juncture of her ear, neck and jaw. The intimacy and closeness of the moment was intoxicating, the pleasure almost threatening to drown out rational thought.

[talls]

Ferret smiled and moaned in her obvious pleasure. No one, man or woman, had made her feel so alive from simple body contact and kisses. Ferret increased her passion as the werewolf's hands moved more and his kisses grew more urgently. Ferret found herself gasping for breath, unwilling but needing to pull way for air but quickly returned to his affections.

As her boyfriend laid back on her bed, Ferret let out a soft gasp, not expecting it. She smiled down at him, panting lightly. She tucked some hair behind her ear before gently stroking Remus's cheeks. She shivered as his hand moved to her back. She smiled but gasped again as she was flipped. She blushed and smiled as the boy pressed himself to her. Her mind was swimming in a pleasurable fog that she did not want to escape from.

As Remus looked into her eyes, she smiled. This was new to her. She had never been the "bottom" in any relationship before now. She was always the lead and this, not being the one making all the decisions, was wonderful.

Remus whispered in her ear before moving his lips across her ear, jaw and neck. She moaned and resisted the urge to arch towards him.

"This is more than ok," she whispered, a soft moan mingling in her words. "You are such a beautiful man Remus..."

[remuslupin]

As Ferret half-whispered half-moaned his name, Remus blushed slightly and sighed contentedly, continuing to place tiny kisses all down the column of her neck. But his hands stilled somewhat as he settled for holding her close against him instead of letting his hands roam as they wished. Pleasure and desire were starting to override his common sense, and he both wanted and needed to slow things down a little.

He was very new to the whole idea of being with someone (let alone someone as wonderful as Ferret) and he wanted to do things right. On top of which, his inexperience meant he was finding all these new sensations very overwhelming as he tasted the delights of snogging for the first time. The kisses he was laying along the elegant line of Ferret's neck got softer and lighter until he had simply returned to nuzzling the junction of her neck and shoulder.

"Sorry," He gasped, still breathing quite raggedly, "It was all just a little intense. Good intense, just - a little too much, a little too soon." He smiled crookedly, "I'm sorry, its not that I didn't like it, because I did its just-" He shook his head and stopped babbling, "Sorry, yeah."

Holding Ferret close, Remus extracted one hand from inside her shirt and resumed running his fingers through her hair, knowing by now how much she liked it. As his breathing returned to normal, he simply basked in the sense of physical intimacy of lying here in her bed beside her cuddling.

[talls]

She could feel Remus beginning to slow down from his fevered state. Usually this would annoy her, but for now it just saddened her that she let herself get so lost in the moment. This was Remus's first relationship. She didn't want to move things too fast for his sake as well as her's.

But the things he made her feel.

As he began to babble, Ferret smiled and reached up to stroke his cheek gently. "Shh...Its ok Remus, I understand completely." Her voice was a whisper but she smiled warmly at him. She sighed happily as he stroked her hair and kept his body close to hers as he rolled off her and to her side.

Ferret smiled and bathed in her after glow. Her heart was still racing but it was slowing down. Opening her eyes, she looked lovingly at the young werewolf.

"How was your holiday?" she asked, her voice soft and sweet.

[remuslupin]

Remus smiled, going limp with relief that Ferret understood. He knew that she was far more experienced in both the physical and emotional side of things than him when it came to relationships, but he'd been right in thinking that she would respect the fact he wanted to take things slowly. He liked Ferret - lov- liked her a lot - and didn't want to mess things up by moving too fast.

Turning to face Ferret, Remus gave a warm smile. "Well, first I met this wonderful girl who I really like who agreed to go out with me." He planted a kiss on her lips. "Then I had Christmas with my mates and got plenty of blackmail material. Then my beautiful girlfriend sent me the most thoughtful Christmas presents - which I wore to Boxing Day lunch as promised, and I have photos of the reactions - including some that..." He kissed her again, "...provoked me to this rather pleasant form of reunion." He blinked faux-innocently and gave her a guileless smile. "How was your Christmas?"

[talls]

Ferret giggled and leaned in to meet every one of his kisses. She smiled warmly at him, her heart souring. He was talking about her, he was calling her beautiful and making her feel wonderful.

Giggling at his innocence, Ferret smiled widely. "Well, I met this wonderful guy who agreed to go out with me after I had to tell him point blank how I felt." She kissed his lips gently. "Then I picked up knitting and made my boyfriend lots of fun stuff. Then he sent me some wonderful presents and some extremely good looking pictures of him that I keep under my pillow. I read the book he sent me three times already. And then," she smiled and kissed him again "He snuck into my dorm room and we almost made sweet love on my bed!" She let out a dramatic gasp before giggling softly and kissing him again.

"So overall uneventful."

[remuslupin]

Remus smiled as Ferret returned the favour by complimenting him and giving him an breakdown of her holidays. He grinned ruefully as she mentioned how clueless he'd been about her feelings for him and blushed slightly when he mentioned the photos. Even though she'd claimed to have liked them in her letter and had returned the favour, he still felt somewhat insecure about the fairly horrific scarring that littered his torso after years shackling the wolf on full moon nights, leaving it no target to maul but its own flesh.

He grinned and met each of her kisses as they came, nuzzling slightly into her neck in the meantime until she made the joke about almost making love when he began choking on air and flushed a furious crimson. "You mentioned your clueless sounding boyfriend buying you wonderful presents." He said softly, pulling her closer and snuggling into her with a happy sigh. "Well, I have some news. Do you remember that IOU I wrote you?" Remus smiled triumphantly and waited to see how long it would take for her to figure out what he meant.

[talls]

Ferret giggled at Remus's reaction to the lovemaking comment and kissed his forehead gently. He knew she was teasing him. But it was still fun.

"You have the cutest blush," she told him, smiling warmly. "I could watch it all day."

She smiled as he pulled her closer. She sighed happily and wrapped her arms snugly around him. "I remember. My favorite was the book and the pictures, followed by everything else."

As he mentioned the IOU, her eyes went wide and a large smile crossed her lips. "I remember...you...you got them? You got the books out of the Black Library?!"

She paused for a moment. "I hope you didn't lose anything in the process...Otherwise I would have to march right in there and demand they give it back.

[remuslupin]

Remus smiled at Ferret as she commented on his blush. "That's very kind of you to say, but I'm not the only one with an attractive blush in this relationship." He sighed happily at the confirmation that she'd liked his gifts. Still, he was struck by a question he needed to ask: "And Jasper? Did he appreciate his care package?" He raised a curious eyebrow. It wasn't wholly idle curiosity - he knew Jasper was very important to Ferret and it felt good to know he was supporting her furry little friend.

Remus' grin spread across his face wickedly. "It wasn't easy at all, and I must have broken every statue of the Restriction of Underage Wizardry twice, but I got a good half-dozen books or so." He cut himself off and pretended to be nervous, shifting slightly and avoiding her eyes. "As as for loosing anything, well-" He tried to look as miserable and embarrassed as possible. "Let's just say that sweet lovemaking won't be happening any time soon." He buried his face in her shoulder and shook with laughter, doing his best to conceal it as tears before he started chuckling and moved in for a deep kiss.

"Just kidding!"

[talls]

Ferret smiled warmly. "Apparently, he loves them. My grandma wrote me and asked what I had done to make "the little rodent" so happy. Now she can get him to behave because if he does something bad, she will take the toys away and he shapes right up." Ferret smiled. "My grandma thanks you from the "bottom of her great old heart"."

As Remus explained what he did, her eyes widened. "You are living on the edge Remus!" she exclamed smiled. But as he explained what he had lost, Ferret's eyes grew wide. Finding out it was a joke, she gently punched his shoulder before grabbing the front of his shirt and pulling him in for that deep kiss. The embers of desire flared again.

"That was mean," she muttered. Her hands rest itself on her thigh, gently letting it rise higher. "I would have been so upset they hurt you..."

[remuslupin]

Remus chuckled, tickling Ferret's stomach lightly with his fingertips, slowly tickling higher and higher before he let his hand drop away and returned to playing with her hair. "Tell your grandmother she is very welcome." He shrugged and smiled, "Understanding how animals think is just another perk of the whole werewolf package." He grinned, "And at least it seems one member of your family may approve of me."

Remus mimed injury yet again as Ferret punched him in the shoulder, but knew he'd probably deserved that. When she unexpectedly pulled him into a deep kiss, Remus felt the same flush of desire from earlier return momentarily as the intensity and fierceness of the kiss left him breathless.

"I'm sorry." He apologized, placing a quick kiss on the corner of her mouth. "But you started it with that comment about us nearly making lov-" His voice cut off with a kind of strangled high-pitched squawk as Ferret's hand on his thigh began to climb higher. Remus swallowed nervously, his throat dry and his cheeks burning as waves of desire that felt almost feverishly dizzying started emanating from what felt like the scalding heat and pressure of her fingers against his upper thigh.

[talls]

Ferret giggled as Remus's fingertips danced across her skin. She wasn't usually very ticklish but Remus just seemed to have a way with her. She was almost disappointed when he let his hands drop but sighed contently as he began to stoke her hair again.

"Well, Jasper loves you and my grandmother appreciated you. For more than just the ferret toys." The girl nuzzled his neck, smiling. "She never thought she would see the day where her granddaughter willing dated a boy."

Ferret smirked at his squawk. Even that was cute. Ferret stilled her hand and with her freehand stroked his red cheek. "You were saying Mr. Lupin?" she purred, moving her lips to kiss his neck gently.

[remuslupin]

"Well I'm glad she's so happy." Remus looked seriously at Ferret for a moment, "Though you know I never considered you any less of a friend because you dated women, right?" He nuzzled Ferret's neck in return, then started very slowly planting kisses as softly as air; unhurried, unrushed, just enjoying the closeness of her smell and taste.

As Ferret smirked at him, Remus pouted exaggeratedly. He felt a mixed feeling of relief and disappointment when her hand stopped moving and lay still like a brand on his upper thigh. "You know quite well what I was saying, little teasing Ferret, having said it first and all." Remus blushed softly, smiling softly at Ferret and revelling in the feeling of being so appreciated, even - dare he even think it - loved.

[talls]

Ferret smiled and kissed him gently, cupping his face gently in her hand. "I know Remus. But it did make it harder for me to express my attraction to you." She smiled and closed her eyes as he nuzzled her. Merlin, he made her feel wonderful.

The girl smiled and leaned in to kiss him, removing her hand from his thigh to gently cut his neck. The look in his eyes made her heart swell and kissing him now did nothing to make it go down. She would do anything for him, all he needed to do was ask and she would do everything in her power to make it happen.

"i'm sorry for teasing you," she muttered softly. "Forgive me?"

[remuslupin]

Remus chuckled at Ferret's very practical reaction to his message of support and acceptance. "True enough. But then, we got here in the end, didn't we? And I wouldn't want things any other way if it meant risking that I wouldn't be as happy as I am now."

As Ferret removed her hand from his thigh, Remus breathed out a mental sigh of relief. Good as it had felt - too good, in fact - there'd been once again that risk that he'd loose his senses and things could have gone further than he wanted them to right now. Not that he didn't want to experience everything with Ferret, but he wanted them both to make the choice themselves at their own pace, not be driven into it too soon by hormones and impulse born of pleasure.

He knew Ferret was far more experienced than him, having done so in an attempt to find someone who would be willing to share emotional and non-sexual intimacy with her; cuddles and kisses and the like. He was quite willing to be emotionally close to her to her hearts content and let the more physical aspect develop at its own pace when it felt right.

Remus chuckled, tapping the end of her nose softly with his finger and then kissing first there and then, softly, her lips. "There's nothing to be sorry for. And there's nothing to forgive." He looked into her eyes and was humbled by the depth of feeling for him that he could see shining through them, "I trust you, and I know you'd never hurt me."

Snuggling closer into her embrace and letting his head rest at the juncture of her neck and shoulder, Remus asked: "So, what do you want to do with your new Metamorphagi handbooks? We could share an armchair by the fire in the common room and I could do some writing while you read. Or we could leave the books 'til later." He shrugged and gave a gentle smile. "It's entirely up to you."
