Chapter Twelve



‘How was your holiday, Jess?’ Karen asked just over a week later as the two girls unpacked.

‘Fantastic,’ Jess said, with a smile. It was so frustrating that she couldn’t tell anyone that she and Remus were engaged.

She had been shocked when he asked but she quickly said yes. He slipped an antique engagement ring on her finger, explaining it had belonged to his grandmother.

‘I never thought I’d give it to anyone,’ he told her, as they looked at it on her finger. ‘It fits you perfectly, Jess. Like it was made for you.’

She now wore this ring on her right hand, refusing to take it off completely.



Karen noticed it now and commented on it. ‘That’s gorgeous, Jess,’ she said, taking her friends’ hand and holding it up. ‘Where did you get it?’

‘A friend gave it to me,’ she said vaguely.

Karen looked at her with a grin. ‘Boyfriend?’ she asked and Jess smiled.

‘Yeah,’ she confirmed. Karen smiled again.

‘He’s got good taste then,’ she said, admiring the ring again. ‘This is really beautiful.’

They went to dinner, Jess trying hard not to look over at Remus too much and could see him struggling to do the same.

‘Only a few more months, then all this will be over and we can get on with our lives,’ she kept telling herself.



She threw herself into her study, channelling her frustration at their forced separation into school work for a few weeks. They met once in the grounds, by accident, and went for a walk, making certain not to get too close to each other while in sight of other people. They talked quietly about what they were going to do after exams, and once they were out of sight of the castle, Remus pressed Jess up against a tree trunk, and five minutes later, they were muffling each other’s cries of pleasure with their mouths as their hands wandered.



‘We are taking some stupid chances,’ she said, walking back to the castle hand in hand while they were still out of sight.

Remus sighed. ‘I know,’ he admitted. ‘That was stupid. Awesome but stupid.’

Jess laughed and he let go of her hand to wrap his arm around her shoulder, pulling her close to his side.

‘It’s just…I’m happy, Jess,’ he said quietly. ‘And I want to be able to shout it out; to tell everyone, but I can’t. Maybe I’m kind of hoping we’ll get caught, then we won’t have to keep this a secret anymore.’



Jess smiled and put her arm around his waist. ‘You want us caught doing what we were just doing?’ she asked with a laugh.

He chuckled and squeezed her tighter. ‘Well, maybe not doing that,’ he conceded, and kissed the top of her head. He stopped walking and put his other arm around her. ‘I love you, Jess, and I want everyone to know.’

She smiled and linked her arms around his waist. ‘I love you too, honey,’ she said, seeing his smile widen. ‘But if we think this sneaking around is bad, imagine not being able to see each other at all because you’ve been sacked.’

Remus groaned and leant down to kiss her. ‘I know, I know,’ he complained, dropping his arms and they began walking again.



‘Maybe we can chance a day in my room for my birthday,’ he said as they came back into view of the castle.

Jess stared up at him. ‘When’s your birthday?’ she asked with a frown.

‘In a few days,’ he told her. ‘Saturday.’

Jess began to smile. ‘Hmm,’ she murmured. ‘I wonder what I can do to help you celebrate?’ Remus grinned and winked at her.

‘I’m sure you’ll think of something,’ he said as they reached the castle stairs. ‘See you then - after breakfast? It’s my birthday the whole day, you know.’

Jess laughed and, seeing the foyer was deserted, moved a little closer. ‘And I’ll make sure by the end of the day, you are completely satisfied,’ she whispered, running her hand surreptitiously over the front of his pants as she walked towards the Dining Hall, leaving Remus gasping and hard.



She slipped into his room while he was at breakfast and was waiting behind his door when he got back. As he walked through the door, she put her hands over his eyes.

‘Don’t open them,’ she ordered. ‘Or I’ll walk out the door and you really don’t want me to do that.’

‘No, I don’t,’ he agreed with a smile. He kept his eyes closed when she took her hands away and felt a blindfold being tied around his head.

‘Kinky,’ he murmured, and Jess giggled. He heard the click of the door locking then felt her rubbing against his back, her arms going around his waist.



‘Walk forward,’ she said softly and he did, Jess helping him lay down on the bed. She straddled him and he moved his hands to her ass, feeling a strip of lace and nothing else. ‘Shit, Jess,’ he exclaimed. ‘What are you wearing?’

His hand moved to his blindfold but she slapped it away.

‘That is for later,’ she admonished him, taking his wrists and binding them to the bed, doing the same with his legs.

‘God, I am beginning to love being tied up,’ he mumbled and Jess laughed. She waved her wand again, and Remus felt his clothing disappear.

‘I’m liking this so far,’ he said.

‘I haven’t started yet,’ she whispered, her lips near his ear.



Her tongue ran around the shell of his ear, sucking his ear lobe into her mouth and making him moan. She lifted herself off him, then picked up a large feather from his side table. She ran it over his face and saw him smile. Jess grinned and bit her lip.

‘Just relax,’ she said softly, as she trailed the feather up his arm. She moved the feather softly all over his body, making him shiver and raising goose bumps over his skin.

‘Jess,’ he breathed when she ran the feather over his inner thigh and up his shaft. He was finding this the most erotic experience he’d ever had and was both wanting her to stop and never stop.

‘Do you like it?’ she asked when his hips rose.

‘Mmm,’ he moaned, then let out a noise of complaint when she stopped.

‘Settle down,’ she said with a grin. ‘I’m a long way from finished yet.’



He felt her warm, and now slippery hands running over him. ‘Smells like chocolate,’ he said, his voice hoarse with desire now. He bit his lip when she reached his groin and she stroked him.

‘God, Jess,’ he groaned. ‘It’ll be over in a minute if you keep that up.’

She giggled then moved her hands between his legs. Remus let out a sharp blast of air and his head fell back as his hips rose. When he felt his finger stroke over his ass he gasped then grinned.

‘If my ass is up for grabs then so is yours, honey,’ he warned, then moaned as her finger slipped inside him.

‘Fucking hell, Jess,’ he growled, feeling himself tighten as she found the spot she was looking for and an electric shock shot through him.



Suddenly, her finger was gone again and he let out a loud grating sound of frustration. Jess laughed.

‘You really have no patience,’ she admonished and he moaned again.

‘Jess, I‘m dying,’ he said desperately.

She smiled and kissed him on the lips quickly. ’Nearly there,’ she promised, then kissed him again, this time deepening it, letting it grow until he was yanking against the binds. Her mouth moved all over his face and neck, moving down to his chest.

‘Jeez, that lotion tastes good,’ she said in surprise. It really did taste like chocolate.

Remus arched up to her mouth, making soft noises in his throat when she took her time, running her tongue over every inch of his skin. She laughed quietly when he let out a frustrated roar as she moved her lips down each leg and up again before going near his groin.



‘You’re killing me,’ he whispered harshly when she shifted away from him again. ‘Jess, I want you so much it‘s hurting. You have to help me.’

‘I’m about to,’ she reassured him, then pointed her wand at a glass of water on the side table. She took a sip, holding the now heated water in her mouth for a moment before swallowing. Leaning over, she took him in her mouth and his whole body tensed as he gasped.

‘What the fuck?’ he said then struggled against the scarves binding him. ‘God, Jess that feels incredible.’

The extra heat in her mouth was a surprise but felt amazing on him. She took him further into her mouth, and he felt himself hit the back of her throat. Just as he was beginning to thrust up hard, she let go of him.



Remus let out a loud moan, pushing his hips up, his breathing fast and irregular. Jess slipped an ice cube into her mouth and sucked, her hand moving to stroke him to try and give him a little relief. Once she couldn’t stand the cold any longer, she put her mouth back on him and felt him jump.

‘Jess,’ he hissed, so damn close already. The cold was shocking on his sensitive skin, but quickly bought him to the edge and when she took him deep into her mouth, he started pushing up harder and faster.

‘Jess,’ he whispered again, wanting the exquisite torture to end but also not wanting it to be over.

She moved her hand and slid her finger into him again and pressed hard, sending him into instant spasm’s, thrusting up hard and crying out loudly as he came - hard and violent and more intense than anything he’d ever felt before. It seemed to go on forever, and he didn’t even feel the binds tightening around his wrists and ankles, rubbing his skin raw.



When he finally came down, his breathing still rapid, he couldn’t speak, his brain unable to find any words. His hands drop to the bed and he knew she’d removed his binds. His arms felt like lead and he couldn’t move them. She took his blindfold off and kissed him gently.

‘Happy Birthday, baby,’ she whispered and he laughed exhaustedly.

‘That is the most amazing thing anyone has ever done for me,’ he gasped. Jess smiled at him then frowned.

‘Jesus, Remus,’ he heard her mutter and she took his arm in her hand and pointed her wand at his wrist, healing the bleeding raw skin there.

‘No more binds for you if you are going to fight them like this,’ she scolded him, healing the other wrist as well then turning to check his ankles. Remus saw her properly for the first time and felt his heart speed up again.



‘Oh my god,’ he muttered, his eyes moving to her ass. ‘Jess, stand up.’

She turned around and grinned at him. ‘Do you like it?’ she asked, standing up and twirling around so he could see the lingerie properly. ‘I ordered it the other day - thought you might like it.’

Remus sat up, mouth slightly open as he watched her turn around. ‘Christ, you are hot,’ he said, unable to take his eyes off the red lace thong she wore.

It was skimpy and sexy and he wanted nothing more than to tear it off her right now. Her matching bra was equally as brief, the half cups pushing her breasts up high and making his pulse quicken.



‘Come here,’ he demanded and she smiled as she did as she was told, Remus pulling her onto his chest.

‘I love you,’ he said, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her.

When he let her go she smiled and said, ‘Thank God I cast a Silencing Spell. You were very….vocal, particularly at the end.’

‘Where did you learn to do that?’ he asked, not sure if he wanted to know. She frowned uncertainly.

‘I read it somewhere,’ she said, sitting up a little. ‘I’ve never done it before but there were pretty detailed instructions on how to find that spot. I did find it, didn’t I?’

Remus laughed and nodded. ‘Yeah, you found it,’ he confirmed and kissed her hard.



They lay in silence, hands gently stroking over each other until Remus fell asleep, exhausted. Jess shifted, rolling onto her stomach to look at him as he slept, eyes running over his face.

‘He is gorgeous,’ she thought, smiling at she gazed at him. She ran a finger lightly over the largest scar on his face. They didn’t detract from his looks, they enhanced them.

‘He’s sexier with the scars,’ she thought, knowing that he didn’t see it that way. But she knew what had caused them and knew how brave he was and that made them sexy. She lay her head on his chest and let sleep take her as well.



Remus woke an hour later to see Jess asleep next to him. He smiled and reached over to brush the hair away from her face. Thinking how beautiful she was, he leaned over to kiss her softly. She stirred a little and Remus grinned. He moved to prop herself up over her, kissing her neck gently. When he got to her shoulder he looked up and saw she was still asleep. Grin broadening, he ducked his head to kiss her hip, then her stomach, making his way down her leg, parting them and running his tongue up her thigh. He heard her moan now and shift her hips. Pushing her underwear to the side, his tongue found her and lapped gently until her hips were rising and he heard a sharp exhalation.

‘Remus,’ she gasped and gripped his head hard. His teeth scraped over her and, when he soothed her with his tongue, she tugged on his hair, thrusting her hips up and moaning loudly as she came.



He ran his tongue from her stomach to her throat, kissing her neck before she grabbed his head with both hands and kissed him hard.

‘I want it written into our marriage vows that you have to wake me up like that at least once a week,’ she said breathlessly.

Remus grinned and kissed her again. ‘I think that might be a little unconventional,’ he said.

‘What if I agree to wake you in a similar fashion at least once a week?’ she asked, pushing him off her and straddling him.

‘Well, we are far from a traditional couple, I suppose,’ he mused and Jess giggled.



‘God that bra is hot,’ he murmured, staring up at her. ‘And these are driving me crazy.’ He ran his hands up her stocking covered legs and then fiddled with the clip holding them up. He sat up, his hands shifting from her legs to her breasts. He pulled down the cups and kissed her skin, taking a nipple in his mouth. Jess moaned and he threw her down, moving over her to kiss every part of her body. He felt as though he couldn’t wait another moment when she pushed him away and stood up naked.



‘Jess?’ he asked, seeing her smile.

‘Where do you want me?’ she said, holding out her arms.

‘Pardon?’ he said, sitting up with a growing smile.

‘It’s your birthday,’ she said with a shrug and a smile. ‘You get to decide on your present. You can have me wherever and however you want.’

‘I can have you anyway I want?’ he said, rising to his knees with a glint in his eyes.

‘Anyway,’ she confirmed, a determined look in her eye.



Remus stood up and grabbed her arm, spinning her around so she was bent over the back of an armchair. He ran his hand over her ass, tracing the line between her buttocks.

‘So, if I wanted to have you like this,’ he said, moving to press his erection against her ass, ‘that would be fine with you?’

Jess tensed unconsciously, even as she nodded. Remus smiled softly and bent to kiss her back, straightening her up against his chest.

‘Then I choose….’ he paused, sliding his hand down her stomach to stroke her. She let out a soft noise and he turned her around to face him. ‘The bed, me on top, slow and sexy.’



Taking her hands, he led her to the bed. ‘Remus…’ she began but he stopped her with a kiss.

‘I love that you were willing to give me anything I wanted,’ he said when he raised his head. ‘But what I really want is to be able to feel you all around me, and hear you calling my name when you come.’

He pushed her gently onto the bed and followed her, his body soon moving inside hers and it wasn’t long before he got his wish, her body tightening around his as she called out his name. Seconds later, he was whispering her name as he also reached his end.



They went to dinner, having missed lunch, again walking in side by side, separating at the Ravenclaw table. Remus was aware of Dumbledore’s eyes on him and sat down next to the man, who looked surprised.

‘Good evening, Albus,’ he said cheerfully, reaching for the chicken.

‘Remus,’ the older man said.

There was silence for a few minutes as they ate, then Albus waved his hand, casting a invisible Silencing Spell around the two of them.

‘How long has it been going on?’ he asked quietly.



For a second, Remus considered lying, but was suddenly tired of it. ‘We met the night before school started,’ he told him. ‘Neither of us knew the other and we certainly didn’t know we would both end up here. We…spent the night together, and we thought that was it.’ He looked at Albus, who was staring at him, not making a judgement yet.

‘When I saw Jess here…well, we were both pretty shocked, and we agreed to keep our distance. Then you asked me to keep an eye out for her and we started spending more time together and….’



Pausing, he looked over at Jess and smiled. ‘We just couldn’t keep it up. It happened just before Christmas. We’ve been together since then and we’ve been spending the holidays together. We did stop - for a while. And we have been trying to stay away from each other, but…it’s not easy.’

‘You are her teacher, Remus,’ Dumbledore said gently. ‘I concede that this is an unusual situation, given that you and Jessica had a…relationship before you began here. But you should not have allowed this to continue here. Seeking sexual gratification with a student, Remus, no matter the circumstances…’

‘I love her, Albus,’ he said quickly. ‘This isn’t just sex, this isn’t a fling. I love her and she loves me.’ Albus looked a little more uncertain now and Remus continued.

‘I asked her to marry me over the Easter break,’ he said. ‘We’re engaged, Albus. We’re going to get married as soon as we can.’



Albus stared at him, a frown on his face. ‘Well,’ he said, obviously thinking. ‘That does change things.’ He waved his hand again and the student\'s chattering was loud and raucous again. He stood up.

‘Let me think about this, Remus,’ he said. ‘Please, just be very discreet until we speak again.’

Remus nodded and watched the man leave the hall. He was unhappy that he’d disappointed the Headmaster, but was glad that he wasn’t packing his bags yet - maybe he could stay. He saw Jess staring at him with a frown and smiled at her. She smiled uncertainly back, then turned to Karen who was speaking to her.

‘I don’t care if I get the sack,’ he thought, eyes still on Jess. ‘She’s worth it.’
