Give Her Time

Chapter 13 – Say That Again… Please?


Remus sat in his own rooms, freshly showered and dressed in his usual casual robes. Ginny should be showing up at any minute. He\'d owled her earlier that morning, asking if she\'d have dinner with him, because he needed to talk to her.

He wasn\'t sure exactly what he was going to say. He couldn\'t offer her what he wanted to offer her, but they needed to talk. It was driving him insane, seeing her, knowing what she tasted like, and at the same time, knowing there was this ... chasm between them.
Rearranging the dinner plates again before checking to make sure his hair wasn\'t messed up, he felt like a school boy, waiting until it was time to pick up his first date. There was a knock at the door.

He took a deep breath and walked over to the door. He offered up a silent prayer to whatever god might be listening that Ginny wasn\'t angry at him. Opening the door, he stopped; Ginny stood before him in a lilac colored set of robes trimmed with a delicate silver pattern at the hems.

\"Hi Remus,\" Ginny said quietly. \"Can I come in? You are blocking the doorway.\"

\"Oh! Yes - of course,\" Remus stumbled as he backed up and let her walk in the room. His still acute scene of smell picked up on lavender, mint, and nervousness.

\"I thought we\'d talk over dinner,\" he said, motioning her towards the set table.

Ginny smiled. \"Sure. We do have some things to work out, don\'t we?\" she replied as glanced at the table and started to walk towards it. \"Everything looks lovely Remus.\"
He nodded, relieved that she seemed open to talk.

\"I wanted to start, if you don\'t mind. In fact, let\'s sit on the sofa, shall we?”

“Alright,\" Ginny sat down on the sofa and looked at him expectantly. Remus fidgeted, pulling on the collar of his robe before he sat down next to her and took her hand.

\"Gin, I-,\" he swallowed and noticed the look of concern cross her face. \"I\'m very attracted to you. I’m not on any potion now, or under the influence of the moon. I\'m just me.\" He licked his lips nervously, afraid to go on, but pulling on his bravery.

\"I\'m been doing a lot of thinking, and I came to this conclusion... I want to kiss you, just once, like you deserve to me kissed, without me telling you I\'m sorry. You seem to think I\'m sorry for kiss you those other times, when the truth is, I\'m only sorry for making you break your vows.”

\"You said I should think long and hard before I kissed you again, and I have - I just want to know what you think about all this...\" he trailed off looking at her for some kind of answer.

\"Kissing doesn\'t count as breaking ones vows Remus. Why, I kiss Harry all the time and he\'s another man,\" she grinned innocently.

He grinned at her and leaned in before asking, \"May I kiss you Ginny?\"

\"Yes,\" she whispered as she herself leaned towards him, tilting her head slightly. He closed his eyes, and let himself get lost in the feeling of her lips pressed softly against his own. She was so warm, so subtle...

He broke the kiss for a moment, murmuring against her lips, \"If a kiss doesn\'t count as cheating, would putting my arms around you count?\"

\"Hmm,\" she pretended to think about it. \"Well, I should hope that when I hug my friends, I\'m not cheating. Gosh, that would mean that I am bisexual too if that were the case!\"

Remus chuckled deep in his throat. \"I wouldn\'t mind testing that one out,\" he teased as happeapped his arms around her and pulled her close for another kiss.

\"Am I cheating if I wrap my arms around your neck and run my hands through your hair?\" Ginny asked breathily just re hre he could pull her into another kiss.
Remus moaned into her mouth and pulled her tighter against his side. \"No... after-all, you could just be looking for... lice or something. Right?\" he asked as he kissed her cheek and over to her ear.

\"Right...,\" Ginny moaned softly before continuing. \"I am a medi-witch after all. I can always say it was in that capacity.\"

\"And what about your ear. Can I kiss your ear Ginny?\" his voice rough as he held himself back.

\"You were admiring my earrings, and slipped,\" Ginny replied as she felt his breath on her ear.

He nuzzled her ear for a moment before slipping his hand down her back and gently cradling her bottom. Ginny tilted her head back a moaned. Gods, he felt so good.

\"Gin?\" he asked hoarsely.

\"Hmm?\" Ginny replied. She was too lost in the sensations overtaking her to form much of a coherent thought. All she could think about was Remus touching her all over.

\"Tell me what I can\'t do... Give me a limit, because gods help me woman, if you don\'t I\'m going to help you break every vow you\'ve made,\" he whispered against her lips before kissing her again.

Ginny pulled gently out of the kiss, after she let it go a while of course. \"Give me a minute Remus,\" she told him, trying to organize her thoughts. What did she consider cheating? \"You’re right; we do need limits - big ones.\"

\"MmMm,\" he said nuzzling her neck.

\"Big firm limits,\" he said kissing down her collar bone.

She moved her hand under his chin and gently lifted his head so she could look into his eyes, her own eyes saddened. \"I consider breaking marriage vows to be having sex, oral included. And I think for us not to break this, we have to keep our clothes on at all times. Or else, you know that it will be too tempting for the both of us.\"

Remus nodded.

\"Okay. What about my hands...,\" he asked, snaking his hand under her skiand and resting it on her thigh. \"Do my hands need to stay above clothing?\"

\"So, do you think you could keep control if my hands decided to venture under your clothes?\" Ginny teased. She couldn\'t even go that far; it was too hard for her not to give in. She wouldn\'t allow herself the opportunity to break her vows.

Remus pulled his hand out from under her thin robes and put his hand on her thigh again, but this time with the material between them. \"What about like this? Through your robes. Can I touch you through your robes...?\" he asked as he moved his hand brazenly up her thigh until it was resting at the apex of her legs. He pushed the robe down between her legs and pressed ast hst her warm wet center. \"Can I do that Ginny? Throughr clr clothes?\" his voice was almost begging.

\"I\'m sorry Remus, but it\'s probably better this way. Think of it this way, if we ever do get to have a relationship in the open, at least we won\'t be plagued with the guilt that it originally started as a torrid affair,\" she said gently, tears starting to build up as she noticed the disappointment on his face. It hurt her so much to do this to him.

\"I realize I\'m asking a lot from you, and if you want to back out now that you have heard my terms, I\'ll understand.\" She held her breath, awaiting his answer. She hoped to the gods that she hadn\'t pushed him away.

\"So... a secret non-affair? That\'s what you want?\" he asked, making sure he had things right.

Ginny laughed shakily. \"I guess that\'s what you could call it. Remus, I want to make sure we could work out. I want to be certain that this is something more than lust. I want to learn everything there is to know about you, and I want to tell you everything about me. I want to spend lots of time with you, just wrapped in your arms.\" Ginny said, tears starting to fall down her cheeks. Was he going to accept this?

Remus pulled her into his arms before tilting her chin up and wiping her tears away with the pad of his thumb. \"I think you learned a lot in a very short amount of time. You are a very wise woman, Miss Ginny Weasley. And before you correct me, I only have one term myself...,\" he looked down into her eyes and kissed her nose.

\"You can\'t keep telling me you’re married. I know. You know. Let\'s leave that nastiness aside and just be ourselves. If I cross a line, slap my hand, but don\'t bring up your vows... Is that okay?\" he asked, a look of nervousness crossing his face that maybe he\'d gone too far.

\"Absolutely,\" she replied, a smile growing on her face. \"I don\'t like to remind myself of it anyway. Like it doesn\'t exist.\" She reached out and caressed his cheek with the palm of her hand to reassure him. She was on cloud nine! He hadn\'t rejected her terms, and she now had something to look forward to every day.

He leaned in and kissed her lips before asking, \"So... it\'s almost like we\'re back in the early 1800\'s. I’m courting you, and never pressing my attentions on you, until I can make an honest woman of you,\" Remus summarized

Ginny felt a bit uneasy when he heard him say the term \'honest woman.\' She felt like she was walking a very tight line; but it was just a simile. He probably didn\'t even think of the connection. She grinned. \"Yes, you are courting me. Can you live with that?\"

Remus pretended to think for a moment. \"Only if you\'re willing to seal it with a kiss...\" he trailed off leaning down and pressing his lips to hers in a chaste kiss.

After they had set their limits, Ginny and Remus spent all the time they could together. Ginny would go to his rooms after dinner and he would go he ihe infirmary in between classes. They never kissed or touched except in complete privacy, but when they were alone... Ginny blushed as she folded the sheets. She remembered what happened last night -


~*~*~*~*~


Remus had been sitting at her desk in her office off the infirmary when he suddenly snorted loudly and gave a cynical laugh.

\"What?\" Ginny had asked, moving next to him to see what had set him off.

\"I assigned my 7th years a project where they came up with their own defenses to a specific darks arts spell that I assigned them,\" Remus started to explain in an exasperated tone. \"Turns out Aaron Williams here did not pay attention to what I assigned him. He looked up the wrong curse.\"

\"Which curse did he look up?\"

\"He was suppose to look up the Os Perfringo, that painful bone-cracking curse.\" Remus looked up and grinned mischievously at Ginny. \"He ended up looking up a very powerful lust curse instead. But his defense is the best part.\"

\"Oh?\" Ginny asked with a grin.

Remus snorted as he read it to her. \"I wouldn\'t be too upset at being hit with this curse, because my girlfriend is rather easy going, if you know what I mean, but if I had to defend against it, I guess I would just throw up a reflect spell,\" Remus sighed and marked a huge red slash over the whole paper.

\"Why the red slash?\" Ginny asked grinning.

\"Well, wrong curse for one. And second, a reflect spell wouldn\'t work on that curse. He didn’t even research it well. And lastly, I suggest you make sure Leigh Peterson is on a birth control potion.\"

Ginny laughed. \"So how would you defend against a lust spell Professor Lupin?\" Ginny asked, curling up next to him. They did this often, curling up, kissing on the lips and nuzzling at each other necks.

\"Well, my answer would depend on who cast it,\" Remus replied cheekily as he bent down to kiss her neck.

\"What if I was casting it at you Remus?\" Ginny asked arching her neck towards him.

Ginny ran her hand through his thick hair and moaned softly as his teeth bit her lightly while he thought about his answer.

\"Seeing as how I would do absolutely nothing to block it, I would suggest you run before I got my hands on you,\" Remus murmured, trailing a line of kisses up her throa\"Be\"Because once I did, you would experience the most wonderful things,\" he growled into her ear.

\"Ohh do tell....\" Ginny whispered in a husky voice. They had began weeks ago doing this to each other - talking dirty, teasing the other with words. It always led to Ginny calling a time out and them taking a moment to collect themselves, but still, they came back for it every night

\"First, I would kiss you senseless. You would be so dazed you wouldn\'t be able to escape,\" Remus grinned, and then proceeded to do so. \"Don\'t worry,\" he murmured between kisses. \"I\'ll just demonstrate what I am allowed to.\"

\"Although, the thought occurs, that if I caste it on you, I might have plans for you, Remus,\" she murmured as her lips found his earlobe and starting sucking and nibbling, getting more forceful as she felt his hips behind to move slightly next to her. It was her private discovery - Remus liked it when she got a little... over passionate. And in return, she found out, it turned her on to no end when he would growl at her and thrust her against the sofa, grinding his erection into her while holding her hips in place so firmly, it usually left bruises.

At first, Ginny had been a little nervous about the bruising, until one evening he noticed the bruising on her wrist and was shocked and dismayed that he\'d hurt he. He told her he would be more careful, and before Ginny could even think about it, she\'d said, \'don\'t - I like it.\' Was it wrong to enjoy knowing when she pushed his passions over the edge? Was it sick to look at the physical marks on her body and grin as she remembered how he had been whispering in her ear about how he wanted to mount her on the floor and make her scream his name.

\"So what would you do to me?\" Remus asked, as he tightened his arms around her waist so he wasn\'t tempted to move them elsewhere. \"After, of course, I got rid of your robes and started to worship your breasts with my mouth.\"


And to Ginny\'s surprise, she found she liked marking Remus as well. While she didn\'t bruise him with force, she found that biting firmly on his neck would not only make him moan and squirm, but if she sucked as well, she could leave a dark hickey. And while Remus would caste a glamour during the day, he never healed them away. When she asked him about it, he grinned at her and said she wasn\'t the only one who liked seeing them there.

\"Ohh I think....,\" Ginny started and letting her eyes roam down his body before settling on the bulge in his pants. \"I think I might enjoy ...,” she cheeks turned bright red. She couldn\'t say it out loud; Remus said outrageous things to her, and she loved it, but so far, she\'d never been able to tell him what she wanted to do, other than point and make vague references to sex.

Remus moaned softly as she bit his neck, then left to observe his erection. \"What would you like to do?\" he encouraged her. \"I, for one, want to make love to you until you scream my name as you come harder then you ever have before,\" he couldn\'t believe that he had found somebody that enjoyed rough sex. Well, rough snog sessions and most probably rough sex. It was another side effect of his werewolf status, but one that he rather enjoyed more than anything. Of course, most women he dated preferred it gentle, so he obliged, but with Ginny, he felt like he could be himself completely without the fear of scaring her off.

\"I want...,\" she started and hid her face in his shoulder before continuing, \"I want to take you in my mouth and run my tongue over your cock. I want to taste your pre-come, and feel your hands grabbing my head, holding in place while you thrust down my throat, moaning and calling for me.\" She didn\'t look up, not because she was worried he wouldn\'t like what she wanted to do, but because she worried he might think good girls weren\'t suppose to have cravings like that. And it was a craving; she thought about how he would taste, and how it would feel to hold his sac in one hand and gently massage them while her mouth worked him over, sucking and tasting, pleasing and teasing.

\"Oh gods Ginny. Have I told you recently how much you turn me on? You are a dream come true to me.\" He bent her head up from his shoulder and kissed her. \"Never be embarrassed; tell me whatever you want to. I feel like I can be completely honest with you, and I want you to feel the same way.\"


\"I want -,\" she started again, straddling him fully while on his sofa, \"I want to sit just like this, with both of us naked, and raise up,\" Ginny rose her body up a little bit to fully demonstrate the point, \"and then impale myself on you. I want to feel you filling me up, your hands on my breasts, kneading them and pinching my nipples. I want to feel your mouth on my shoulder, biting into me as I slam myself onto you over and over,\" Ginny finished, her breathing becoming labored.

Remus\'s breath hitched at her words and his hips bucked up, pressing his erection against her. He could feel the heat spreading over his cock from the brief contact with her, and moaned. His imagination was in overdrive and his arousal was getting unbearable. In about one second, quite literally, he was going to do something he would regret and maybe ruin this relationship. \"Ginny,\" he moaned hoarsely. \"I promise you we will do that the second we get the chance, but at the moment, I\'m afraid I need to leave before I do something that you don\'t want me to.\"

Ginny flushed and looked away while moving herself off his lap. \"I\'m so sorry-,\" she stammered.

Remus started to worry over her expression. He hoped his comment hadn\'t caused her blossoming sexuality to retract back into its shell, because if he did, he would never forgive himself. \"Ginny, I told you before, don\'t be embarrassed. It\'s just that I want to full fill your fantasy for you so bad, but I know I shouldn\'t. But I promise that someday we will,\" he said looking into her eyes.

Ginny nodded. \"I know - it\'s just hard... er... difficult. Now... I need to go get cleaned up before dinner, meet you in the Great Hall, Okay?\" Ginny said quickly, gathering her shoes and a book before waving and leaving Remus alone.
