“Stop.”
Remus was impressed that Severus was managing a convincing scowl using only his left eyebrow.
“Wha…?” Remus looked up into Severus’s dark eyes, attempting innocence.
“Don’t speak with your mouth full, Lupin.”
Remus released Severus with a loud, sucking pop. “What are you complaining about now?”
“You are doing it wrong.”
Remus groaned, pulling himself up onto the sofa next to Severus and trailing one hand through his hair. “Please, enlighten me. What am I doing wrong this time?”
“You are slobbering. I do not appreciate being reminded of your canine qualities at such a moment.” Severus leaned into Remus’s touch, belying his cross words.
Hefting his leg over Severus’s lap until he was in a firm straddle, Remus kissed the pursed lips of his lover. “Well...that’s not entirely true,” he murmured. Severus’s face twisted into a grimace.
“You are attempting too much at once. One at a time, Lupin, is sufficient.”
“Very well. Give me your hand again,” Remus said, grabbing Severus’s wrist and bringing his thin, elegant fingers to his mouth. “I’ll work on my technique, shall I?”
He sucked in Severus’s index finger, rolling his tongue on the fingerpad and along the curve of fingernail, tasting the iron tang of herbs on his skin, using his lips to add suction and pressure. Severus sighed, his body sinking back into the sofa.
“You should have told me how much you enjoyed this a long time ago, Severus,” Remus said, releasing Severus’s finger for a moment. “I could have been perfecting my technique for years.” He coaxed Severus’s thumb between his lips and nibbled at the tip.
“You will just have to make an extra effort now,” Severus slurred, his eyes closed, head thrown back, exposing the soft skin of his throat.
“Mm-hm.” Remus hummed against Severus’s hand and licked hard in the center of his palm, sending a shudder through the body trapped beneath him. Remus grinned.
