Her Single Rose (Remus Lupin)

One-Hundred & Ten

Aries awoke to the feeling of lips across her shoulder, her eyes stayed close, while they drifted slowly along her neck and hovering near her ear, "Happy Christmas, love." Remus's voice was low, drawing a smile to her lips.

His hand slid along her exposed abdomen, tracing little designs on her skin. This was how he woke her every morning and Aries was happy to get used to it. She turned her body to face him, a twinkle in his eye while he gently pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

"You have your mothers eyes." Aries spoke quietly.

Remus smiled and nodded, "I've been told."

"But you look exactly like your father." She added.

He scrunched his nose at the thought, "I don't think that's a compliment, he's old."

Aries giggled at that, bringing her hands up to cup his chin, tracing a scar with her thumb, "I love the relationship you have with them. They're so...carefree and in love. Even your house is filled with it." Remus smiled at her words.

"One day I want you to be a part of it too." Aries blinked in surprise.

"As in." Aries asked.

"As in" Remus softly grasped her left hand feeling around her ring finger, his eyes locking with hers, "putting a ring on this finger. If that's alright with you."

Aries heart swelled. Her mind beginning to process his intention, leaving her to lay in a flurry of happiness. Instead of responding verbally, Aries brought his lips to hers.

Remus couldn't help but feel relieved. The thought of exposing his desire and receiving rejection nearly threw him into fire. He was more than thrilled at the realization that she wanted this as much as he did.

Throughout the whole week, Remus hadn't been able to stop thinking about everything Aries had told him. From Dumbledore's secret missions, the war, getting pregnant. Time was short, and he knew they may not have much longer before they had to become more invested in the world.

Aries shifted, positioning herself on his lap, straddling his legs. Remus moaned at the feeling of her body on his, running a hand through her hair while the other landed along her hips.

His lips parted from hers, attaching to her neck making her gasp. He slid his lips against her skin, finding her soft sport under her ear, "Rem." She moaned, her hips circling against his eliciting a groan.

His hands came to steady her hip against his, the sudden need to rid himself from his sweatpants was growing, "Merlin, Ari." He gasped when she ground her hips against his this time.

He flipped them over, feeling himself grow tired from her teasing. He hovered over her, playing with the hem of her panties, watching her squirm from need. His lips beginning again at her collarbone.

"Rem, I swear if you don't, I'll finish on my own." She sighed feeling his lips traveling over her covered chest.

He growled at that, only turning her on more.

"Remus! Aries! Breakfast!" The voice of Hope, coming up the boy flying off of her to the farthest side of his bed he could, Remus had managed to attain a pillow to cover his very visible tent, while Aries merely sunk into the sheets, feeling extremely frustrated.

The door opened, showcasing Hope with an unnerving smile across her lips, "Hope I didn't disturb you two, breakfast is ready, come get it before it's cold." She winked, leaving the door open and walking away.

Aries blew a hair away from her face, glancing over at Remus, "I don't understand your mother. She allows us to sleep in the same bed but cockblocks anyway."
