“Perhaps you would like to see Lucius’ vegetable garden, as you have one yourself.”
Remus’ face creased with confusion. “Certainly, Severus.”
They strolled away, beyond the hedge and after a few minutes reached the garden. The vegetable plot was more like a farm.
“How did you know I had a garden?”
“Potter asked about your lettuce at lunch.”
Remus closed his eyes. “And I said.”
“The entire crop had been eaten.”
“Did I mention that is was rabbits that ate it?”
“No, you appeared to be at a loss for words.”
“Hmmm.” At least he hadn’t said anything humiliating. Suddenly, Remus started to chuckle.
Severus looked at him quizzically.
“Does Lucius only have the elves grow phallic vegetables? Look, there are asparagus, at least eight different beans, Japanese eggplant, courgettes, cucumbers, and brussel sprouts.”
“I do not believe brussel sprouts could be categorized as phallic.”
“Probably not, but the stalks they grow on could be.”
They walked for a few more minutes before returning to the patio, which was at this point deserted. Their footsteps echoed across the well-worn stone. When they arrived at the French doors Remus spoke. “So what happens now? I saw you speak with Lucius, but the only parts I could decipher were ‘hex’ and ‘balls’.”
“What happens? I believe that is anyone’s guess. Lucius is Lucius and he will do as he pleases.”
Remus grabbed one handle and pulled, stepping back to allow Severus to go through the door first. “After you.”
“Lupin, I think you just want to ogle my arse,” Severus sighed in obvious resignation and stepped through the door.
This time it was a bedroom with an en-suite bath. The room had a very minimalist quality. It was striking and quietly lovely. The bedding was exceptionally fine cotton in grey, taupe and beige, the walls a creamy colour. It all contrasted nicely with the dark wood of the furniture.
“I imagine the rules of this game haven’t changed.”
“One would imagine not.” Severus agreed.
“Hmmm.” Remus walked over to a bowl of fruit on top of a chest of drawers, plucking out a bunch of grapes. He popped on into his mouth and made a satisfied sound.
“Lupin, It was a grape.”
“Sorry, Severus. I didn’t finish my sandwich and I still hungry.”
“Ah, I thought you might be searching for some assistance in the fruit bowl.”
Remus coughed slightly. “Assistance is not usually something I require, even the day after the full.”
“Fascinating.”
Remus picked through the fruit basket. “Well, we don’t have a traditional strawberries or bananas but I did find an avocado.”
“An avocado?”
“Ancient Aztecs thought they were aphrodisiacs.”
“Is there any scientific evidence?”
“Not that I know of. They did call the tree ‘ahuacatl’, which means testicle. I imagine the look had more to do with it than anything.” Remus rolled the leathery green fruit in his hand.
Severus choked.
“Perhaps we should try penetration, it may be the key to concluding this game.”
“And you wish it to end?” Severus asked his voice slightly rough.
Remus looked closely at Severus, but his face gave nothing away. “No. I think it has been more than obvious that I’ve enjoyed being with you. You’re exactly what I like, tall, dark, sexy, and brilliant.”
“Hmmmrph.”
“Are you fishing for compliments, Severus? Should I add amazingly responsive?”
“No, I was not expecting you to stroke my ego.”
To Remus’ keen eye it appeared that Severus had relaxed a bit and his voice had returned to normal. “The bed this time then?”
“It seems most suitable.”
Remus toed his shoes off and rolled his socks into them. Severus perplexed look made Remus respond. “They’re always the most awkward bits to take off.”
Severus nodded and did the same, while Remus turned down the bed. He lay down on it propped up on one elbow with his legs crossed. “Lie down, Severus. This bed is perfect.”
Severus hesitated, but sat down on the side of the bed. Remus waited a few minutes and then reached a hand over to touch Severus’ arm. He scooted over behind him and started to massage Severus’ neck and shoulders. Severus remained stiff, and Remus fingers started to ache. “What do you want to do, Severus?”
“I think your penetration suggestion was a valid one.”
Remus pressed hard on one of Severus’ shoulder blades. “Which position would you prefer? Top of bottom?” Remus felt him stiffen even more. There was a long silence pause. “Maybe the bottom would be best for your first time. I’m certain you understand the mechanics, but practical experience can be helpful.” Severus sagged under his fingers.
“I believe you might have a point, Lupin.”
Remus turned Severus’ face so he could see it. “All right. Clothes off then.”
“In a bit of a hurry are we?”
“To see you naked, yes. I want to explore all of you, but if you’d like a kiss for every button I’d be happy to oblige. I thought you might be a bit randy yourself after our liaison at the luncheon.”
Severus blushed and opened his mouth to say something, but he closed it and began working his buttons. Remus shimmied out of his clothing in a thrice. He checked the bedside table and found lube. Thanks, Lucius. Severus dropped his trousers and pants and sat back down on the bed. He took a deep breath and turned to lie down and face Remus.
Severus had his eyes downcast, but he was looking up through his eyelashes. Remus smiled and rolled to meet Severus, he pushed a lock of soft hair away and kissed Severus’ cheek. He then settled in and pulled Severus to him, he rearranged their limbs and aligned their cocks. His kisses started at Severus’ forehead, gentle and undemanding. After several kisses down his nose, Remus licked Severus’ lips and used his tongue to request access.
Severus granted admission and sighed as they began kissing. Kisses that quickly became deeper and more frenetic. Remus ran a hand down Severus’ back in long soothing strokes, before cupping his arse and pressing their hips tightly together. Severus groaned and rocked his hips. Remus shifted Severus to his back and started planting kisses on his neck and collarbones. Using his tongue to go further, he licked and then nipped the dusky pebbled nipples that he came across on his way down Severus’ chest. Severus moved his hips trying to get friction for his cock. Remus licked his way lower.
When Remus licked and tongued Severus’ belly button, Severus grabbed and pulled on his hair.
“Enough.”
“But your legs, your thighs, your cock. I haven’t been there yet.”
Severus whined and then answered. “You were correct there was some residual effect from our earlier liaison.”
Remus smiled gently. “All right. It’s easiest the first few times from behind.”
“I understand.” Severus flipped over putting his arse in the air and his head down on his arms.
Remus took the opportunity to run his hands down the smooth, warm back and place random kisses across it. When Remus planted one last kiss at the base of Severus’ spine, he shivered. Remus reached for the lube. He poured some into his fingers before sliding his hand along Severus’ cleft, down over his balls to his cock. Severus pressed eagerly against the hand.
“We’ll start with one finger.”
“I understand the theory, Lupin.”
The first finger was the most difficult, but Remus changed his tactic and began stroking Severus’ cock and he worked his fingers slowly into Severus’ pucker. Finally, Remus let go of Severus’ cock, and Severus pressed himself back onto Remus fingers. With three fingers in, Remus pushed them further in, and searched for Severus’ sweet spot. A gasp, and shudder told him that he’d found it. Severus rocked back in earnest.
“Lupin, was that? Do it again!”
Remus crooked his fingers and Severus panted. He lubed his cock well before he asked, “Are you ready?”
“I have been for quite some time. What is keeping you?”
Remus grinned, although Severus couldn’t see it. “I’ll start slowly.” Remus pressed the head of his cock past the double ring of muscle and then halted. He reached around for Severus cock and stroked it languidly a few times. Severus relaxed, a bit, and Remus pushed forward. It was only another minute before his was fully seated. Severus squirmed, and Remus pulled out to push in at a slightly different angle. Two long slow strokes later he struck gold.
Severus cried out, and Remus started to work on a rhythm. After a dozen or so thrusts he reached for Severus cock and started to work it enthusiastically. Severus responded by alternately shoving back on Remus cock and into his clutching hand. Remus could feel Severus cock getting larger, and he increased his pace.
He heard a choked ‘Remus’ as his hand was covered in Severus’ seed. The rhythmic contractions, and the softly spoken word tore Remus’ own orgasm from him. When he finished, he lay across Severus’ back until his cock slipped out unaided. He gently turned Severus on his side and lay down to face him.
Remus wiped a thumb across Severus’ damp cheek; the only evidence that it hadn’t been sweat was clinging stubbornly to the long dark eyelashes.
“Did I hurt you?”
“No.”
“I’m glad.” Because it was bloody brilliant. Remus gathered Severus in his arms and held him close.
