Never before had Severus been so lost in such a maelstrom of delicious sensation! It was as though, having the emotional reassurance he needed let loose all his inhibitions, giving his body permission to feel and express what his heart and mind were not yet ready to acknowledge.

Remus wanted him, and no one else. Exclusively. Permanently. Commitment ( ... )

For a moment, Remus merely focused on the impression of his own teeth left behind on Severus' skin, trying to force his thoughts into some semblence of order. -- Really, they had to stop having these sorts of discussions come up within hours of the Full Moon. -- Satisfied he had neither drawn blood, not broken the skin, he leaned his head tiredly on Severus' shoulder.

"It's not that," he said softly, fear of self creeping into his voice despite his best efforts. "Not really." Although that was a heady enough thought to deal with, Remus somehow knew that Severus was quite serious about wanting all of him, wolf and man and anything in between. It was part of what him love the other man so deeply. No one else had ever shown him the kind of total acceptance, without illusions, that Severus did ( ... )

While Remus spoke, it was all Severus could do to listen and stare with a sort of wondering disbelief. No one had ever cared a Kneazle's arse for his safety before. To the Dark Lord and even to Albus Dumbledore, he was a valued and useful tool, but quite expendable if the situation required it, nonetheless.

To see, to feel, the hear the sincerity of Remus' concern for him merely added yet another layer of wondering affection to that which he already felt for the other man ( ... )

What he wouldn't do for this man who so freely accepted all the strange, twisted aspects of having a werewolf for a...lover!

"Of course I'm cautious where you are concerned. Why else would I have followed you to Malfoy's ball two months ago?" Remus was more than content to hold and be held for the moment. Here was acceptance and security and comfort. Experimentally, he allowed a hint of a growl to color his voice. "I won't let anyone hurt you, Severus. Not Malfoy. Not 'Dora. Certainly not myself."

It was a surprising thing to find out Severus enjoyed the displays of what Remus thought of as his more 'amimalistic' nature. The growling and biting had always been things Remus thought of as 'strictly werewolf' traits. He'd been with two women in the past -- one who shied from any display of dominance-play in bed and one who nearly demanded it. The latter had been another werewolf. Remus had always thought only werewolves found such things...well, sexy. The idea that a 'normal' man was affected positively by it was... ( ... )

A shiver of pleasure washed over him, the low growl in Remus' voice adding to the delight of the evidence of being 'protected'. Squeezing his arms around the werewolf, he echoed the sentiment.

"Nor will I willingly permit any harm to come to you and yours, Remus, from any quarter. Regardless of my admittedly poor behaviour where the Metamorphmagus is concerned, that is no excuse for her to take her anger out on you."

Nymphadora Tonks had best be on her guard, because Severus was positively itching to give her a piece of his mind. He didn't know anything of the meeting other than 'she did not take it well', because he had been too much of an arse to discuss it rationally, but he knew Remus well enough to know he had been hurt ( ... )

"She has every right to be angry with me, Severus." The fatigue and drowsiness that was his more usual state after the transformations was beginning to set in, but now Remus didn't want to sleep. Laying awake, enjoying this unexpected feeling of having someone here for the first time in his life, of not just having someone to check in on him periodically, but having someone here with him, seemed like a much better idea. Despite his loss of control and the fear that inspired, he felt the most human in this moment that he'd ever felt. "I hurt her terribly, leading her on like that. It wasn't fair and I should have put a stop to things long before I did. That she's chosing to direct her anger at you, when I'm the one that's offended her, that I won't stand for. What you and I have has nothing to do with her and it never will ( ... )

Severus could not remember the last time he had felt so comfortable, so at-ease with himself and his surroundings. Certain it was that if there had been any such experience recently, it had likewise been caused by the werewolf laying atop his chest.

Laughing, in spite of himself, he used the tangle-hold of tawny hair to leverage up to kiss away the teasing smile.

"You are absolutely incorrigible," he said, his voice thick with amusement. Kissing Remus once more, he settled back against the pillows, enfolding his arms across the smooth skin of Remus' back ( ... )

The world had most certainly turned topsy-turvy during the last year. Here he was, a year after Voldemort's fall, half-naked in bed with an equally half-naked Severus, flirting and cuddling and nothing had ever felt so easy in Remus' life. There had never been anything 'easy' for him, not since he was four years old and being attacked by the monster in the darkness.

But, this, being with Severus, this was 'easy'. Not that they didn't have their difficulties. They were neither of them 'easy' or 'simple' men to get on with. Yet, being together, creating an 'us' out of a 'them', seemed to come so comfotrably, not effortlessly, but right. It felt right to return to consciousness after a transformation and find Severus in his bed, to settle in to sleep entwined together as though each would protect the other as they slumbered. Laughter and smiles were not forced or faked, but grew like flowers in spring from the genuine warmth and freedom of self they found in each other ( ... )
