[Watching Éowyn come around his hand is almost as good as his own climax; she's beautiful and wild and furious and incredible, and he stays right with her as she rides those shockwaves of pleasure coursing through her, only pulling his hand away when she shoves at his arm.

Remus props himself up on an elbow, his skin coated in a sheen of sweat, and grins down at her, looking perhaps happier than she's seen him before.]

I'm very glad. I wanted to make sure you had a good first go of it.

[shieldofrohan]

[She smiles back, reaching up with an arm that suddenly feels very heavy to trace the side of his neck.]

And in that, you served well. And I thank you for it.

[Her arm falls back down, and she stretches, yawning, then laughs.]

I fear I shall fall asleep in your bed, unless I take care.

[This is....nice.

He can admit that. It's nice, basking in the afterglow next to a beautiful woman. And it sort of makes him wonder what took him so long to do this, when Sirius was shagging every girl in sight at school?

Oh, right. Self-esteem.

He watches her stretch and eases himself to lay back against the pillows.]

You don't have to—I mean. If you want, you can stay. I don't mind.

[shieldofrohan]

[Rolling onto her back, she laces her hands behind her head and looks up at the ceiling.]

...I was about to say it would not be proper. A foolish thought, in these circumstances.

[moonshined]

[Remus glances at her sidelong and smiles.]

Yeah, there's...not much proper about this place anyway. But...I like being around you. So if you want to stay, you should.

[shieldofrohan]

[She turns her head a little to smile back. She looks gentler now than she has before, the afterglow robbing her face of its hardness and sorrow. There is a softness there that, were she to see it, she would not recognise in herself.]

Then I shall stay. For I like your company, too.

And if this were to happen, Remus... I am glad it was with you.

[moonshined]

[Remus chews his lip for a moment, worrying at kiss-bruised skin as he watches her. She looks so different, now, so much gentler. It's strange, but it suits her, he thinks.]

...Me, too. Really. Makes me regret signing up for this a lot less.

[shieldofrohan]

[She laughs, low in her throat.]

As does knowing I was not alone in regretting my choice!

[moonshined]

[Without thinking, Remus leans over and brushes a strand of hair away from her face.]

Definitely not alone.
