Chapter Fifty-Two
No Expectations
Lovers forever face to face
My city or mountains, stay with me, stay
I need you to love me, I need you today
Give to me your leather, Take from me my lace
(Leather and Lace - Stevie Nicks)July 30th, 1976He was not gentle with her like he had been during their first kiss—either time—in
the secret passage. Nor was he passionate and smug like he had been when he cornered
her after Remus's birthday party, taking her pleasure and claiming it for his own.
This was anger. This was untamed. This was Sirius taking what he wanted for
himself.
He gripped her jaw tightly, and Mia let out a squeak but allowed it as he pried her
lips open with his tongue. Despite the pain she felt through the ferocity with which he
kissed her—bruising, scraping, biting at her lips—she was breathless and lost in him. She
was desperate to moan his name, but he refused to relinquish control enough to part from
her mouth even for a second. She wrapped her arms around his neck and ran her fingers
through his hair, needy for him, and he mimicked her actions. When she pulled away
slightly, his fingers gripped her hair and held her firmly against him. She felt him growl
against her and could not help but echo the sound, tugging at his raven locks in a struggle
for dominance.
As on nights of the full moon, the little fox and the black dog would battle. They
would struggle against one another, chasing and tumbling in a constant blur of black and
red, one rolling over the other. The fox would bite the dog, nipping at his paws and legs.
Mia bit Sirius, her teeth scraping against his bottom lip.
The dog would use his size and strength against the fox, pinning her down beneath
him.
Sirius gripped Mia's hips tightly, flipping her over and pinning her firmly beneath
him, against the mattress of his bed.
