By morning Severus always had one arm up over the blankets. Remus rolled back towards him to admire the pale, creamy skin in the watery predawn light. Its perfection marred by two wars and countless hexes, but it still gleamed. Severus had several amazing topical Potions he used on his own skin and now on Remus’. Remus wanted to run a hand over Severus’ shoulder and down his back, but that would wake him. He would watch, and wait for the sun to fall across Severus’ shoulder and see the subtle shimmer of opalescent colors play across that lovely skin. This would be his birthday gift to himself. The sun shone through the filmy curtains at last, and Remus drank in the beauty. He laughed to himself; Severus would call him an idiot if he knew. Merlin, he was completely barmy for this man.
Remus slipped silently into the kitchen. On the counter sat a plate of jam tarts. Blackberry jam tarts. The bastard, there had been one more jar of jam. Of course, Severus was forgiven because he made the best jam tarts in the world, possibly the universe. Remus had always mad blackberry jam, even when times were difficult. The berries were free; he just needed some sugar, a pot and a fire and viola’ jam. Magic preserved it nicely when proper canning equipment wasn’t unavailable. This year he had continued the tradition even though he now had money just to buy any flavor jam he liked.
The tea took forever to brew; Remus practically had to sit on his own hands to keep from stuffing his face full of tarts before the tea was ready. He inhaled the wonderful aroma before he dove in, and then he stopped himself at three. His birthday was now complete. He’d given himself a present, and Severus had made him one. Remus wondered if there might be another.
They’d agreed before Severus’ birthday that no gifts were necessary. Remus had seen a pair of antique cuff links in shop and bought them anyway. They were platinum, embossed with snakes that had tiny green emeralds for eyes. Severus had thanked him gruffly, and put them away immediately. Remus had seen them peaking out from under Severus’ coat cuffs almost everyday since he’d received them.
He thought he heard Severus stirring. Remus was at the bedroom door with tea for Severus when he saw him slip quickly under the blankets. Severus had been a bit hesitant at first about casual nudity, but Remus thought they were finished with that phase. Hmmm.
“Morning, love.”
“Is that for me?”
“Yes. Thank you for the tarts.”
“Thank you for the tea, and happy birthday.”
“I knew there had been one more jar of jam.”
“Hopefully, you’re counting obsession helps you with your shop.”
Remus laughed.
“You’re making this a bit awkward, you know.”
“What?”
“You weren’t supposed to come in so quickly.”
“Shall I go back out and come in again?”
Severus sighed. “Perhaps it would be best.”
Remus grinned. Perhaps Severus wasn’t nude after all. He had taken quite a liking to the fetish wear in the shop, particularly the leather both men’s and women’s. Now, Remus shivered in anticipation.
“Say when.” Remus said as he closed the door.
After a few minutes Severus called. “You may come back in.”
Severus had arranged himself on the bed wearing a leather thong with the front cut out so his cock and balls were exposed. Remus gasped and hardened. “You look amazing. Is this my gift?”
“Such as it is, yes.”
Remus was at the bed in a heartbeat, happily stripping off his dressing gown. Merlin, the man had no idea what he did to him wearing that scrap of leather. He flopped down on the bed pulling Severus into a deep kiss. When they were both breathless before Remus began kissing lower. First kissing Severus throat, and then down his chest and belly. Remus stopped to sniff the leather and Severus together. The scent, as always, was intoxicating. Severus cock bobbed in front of Remus’ face a moment before Remus sucked it into his mouth.
Severus bucked and babbled as Remus sucked, licked and teased him. Remus nipped his belly and inner thighs, and returned to Severus cock over and over. Finally, Severus was growling. Remus’ eyes lit up as he conjured some lube. He aligned their cocks and stroked them both together. Severus’ head thrashed on the pillow.
“Remus, slow…”
“No, just like this.”
“I can’t….”
Remus felt Severus’ cock had engorged even further. After a moment, Severus cried out and came, the shuddering pulses tipping Remus along as well. Remus was still panting hard, when he began licking his way back up Severus’ chest. A sweet kiss followed.
“Gods, Severus. That was fantastic. You’re fantastic.”
Severus smirked. “That’s not all.”
Remus squeaked. “It’s not?”
“No, I also have the companion pieces. The lace up corset and triangle g-string.”
“You are going to kill me you know.”
“When you opened the sex shop you said we would be testing the merchandise. I just picked a few special items for your birthday.”
“I like what’s in them best. You do know that. Don’t you?”
Severus looked into Remus’ eye and nodded soberly. Their eyes held for a moment.
“I have a few toys as well.’
“You really are trying to kill me.”
Severus let out a low chuckle. Remus never felt more loved.
