"I thought they'd never leave." Mia grinned and turned, cupping Remus's face in her
hands and placing a searing kiss to his mouth.
Remus seemed a little less burdened with the idea of potentially infecting her lately,
and he responded in kind by threading his long fingers through her mane of wild curls,
holding her mouth firmly against him as he greedily robbed her breath from her.
"Amazing," she whispered as she leant back from him, looking down at the smug
grin on his face and the twinkle of gold that speckled his eyes.
He removed one hand from her hair, placing it on her exposed neck and following
it upward as he traced the flushed line of her throat with a smile that clearly told her he
knew he was the reason for the change in the colour of her skin.
"You should always look like this," she said, beaming at him, her breath catching
momentarily as he ran his thumb across her jaw line, boring his eyes into hers in a predatory
way that thrilled her.
"How's that?" he asked.
"Smug." She laughed softly. "Confident."
"Hard not to be when you react the way you do." Remus leant forward to kiss her
again, but she pulled away from him teasingly. His nose twitched, and he let out a low,
needy growl before his hands gripped her around the waist and pulled her into his lap,
where her knees fell on either side of his legs, straddling him.
Mia whimpered softly as warmth pooled in her belly, fanning outward across her
ribs and settling against her hips where he branded her skin with his palms. He deftly
slipped his hands beneath the hem of her blouse and ran his fingers along her shivering
flesh.
"Just like that." He grinned and kissed her again, deep and hard, and Mia moaned
into his mouth.
Purely out of instinct, she rolled her hips forward, but Remus had her up and off
his lap before she reached the evidence of his desire for her.
He had actually all but tossed her away from him so that she was sitting in the
middle of fallen leaves and dirt. She looked up at him, surprised, as she tried to catch her
breath. She noticed that Remus was doing the same thing, though his eyes were clenched
tightly.
