Things continue on basically the same; Remus winks at her while making sure she sees that he is taking his potion the next full moon, and she pokes at him playfully. But, the month after that, he elects to go to the reserve. She’s pretty sure she knows why, since the potion doesn’t lose its effectiveness that quickly. For a moment she feels a stab of envy, but she knows that’s unfair of her.
That night in bed, she starts thinking back to the look they exchanged when she challenged him and he upped the ante and challenged her right back. She remembers the look of desire that passed between them, and feels a heat growing between her legs. Her hand steals downward and she begins to rub herself as she thinks about going into his room that morning, finding him naked, smiling at her and seeming completely unconcerned about it.
She alters that mental image to make him naked and aroused instead, and begins to rub herself faster as she imagines climbing onto him. Imagines his desire and mock frustration that he can’t even touch her, still chained up; completely at her mercy. And both of them also knowing that she’ll pay for it later, too; sometime he’ll find a way to pay her back in kind. To tease her the way she’s teasing him; to both of their benefit. She comes quickly, gasping.
As she’s drifting off into sleep, it finally occurs to her that what is different about Remus is that he doesn’t need her. Sirius needed her for something he couldn’t have at that point in time without her, a child. Severus needed her for that also, but even more, he needed someone he could finally trust and open up to. Someone he could love fully, who would return that love fully (as her mother hadn’t).
But Remus has had all of those things already. He’s been loved deeply, he’s been accepted fully even despite being a werewolf, and he’s got a son. He doesn’t need her any more than she needs him – they would be starting out on much more equal ground in a way than she was with either Sirius or Severus, despite that the three of them were all basically the same age.
Or, she thinks, more accurately – it’s basically that she holds no power over him. Not that she ever particularly sought having any kind of power over Sirius or Severus; but whether she wanted it or not, the balance was in her favor, at least at first. But Remus needs nothing from her, that she couldn’t equally need from him just as much; either physically or emotionally. And he knows it. And, damn…it’s…well, it’s pretty damn sexy, she has to admit. And he probably knows that as well, damn him…which is her last thought before sleep claims her.
When he returns from the retreat in the morning, he’s relaxed and jovial, and again she feels a stab of envy that she tries to repress. Over the next few weeks, she finds herself watching him when he’s not looking; paying attention to the lines of his body, how he moves, paying attention to his fingers, his lips. Imagining what he might do with them.
The day before the next full moon, it finally crystallizes for her – and, as they are going up to their rooms, she stops in front of her door, and, not looking at him, says, “Take your potion this time.” He stops and turns towards her, not completely sure why she’s said it; and she still doesn’t look at him, but she’s also not going into her room, she’s just standing there in front of her door. He mulls over what she might mean before he says anything – unsure whether she’s saying it because she doesn’t want to risk a repeat of that one night, or whether it’s because she doesn’t want him to leave tomorrow.
He decides that seeing her face will probably give him a better idea, and he steps across to her and turns her around. She still won’t look at him, so he puts a hand under her chin and tilts her face up. She finally meets his eyes, and her look is almost a combination of possessiveness, and a sort of defiance; like she’s thrown down a gauntlet and is just daring him to pick it up.
He’s pretty sure now what’s motivated her, but he quirks an eyebrow at her and says,“Is there a particular reason you’d like me to stay here, then?” She blushes and looks down, not saying anything, and he’s definitely sure now why she said it.
He moves very close to her and pulls her hair away from her neck with one hand; then leans down and says in a low voice, close into her ear, that he’ll do as she suggests. And that perhaps tomorrow, they should send the kids to spend the night with Ted and Andromeda - he’s sure they’d love a visit from all the kids, since they haven’t seen them in awhile. And to give her a break, he’ll fix dinner for just the two of them. He brushes a feather-kiss on her cheek with his lips in passing as he straightens back up, and as she looks up at him he gives her a long look full of promised heat, and then turns and goes to his own room, and closes the door.
Evie just stands there, feeling almost like she’s just grabbed hold of a live electrical wire, and doesn’t know whether to hang on or let go. Heat is flooding every part of her body; she can still feel his breath in her ear, still hear the low husky quality of his voice, sense the nearness of his body, see the look in his eyes just before he turned away. She’s tempted to follow him into his room right now and jump into his bed, but she just can’t quite muster the courage. He actually intimidates her in a way, it seems like he always has the upper hand and knows what she’s thinking, sometimes seemingly even before she does – and not only does he know, he is often already two steps ahead of her as well.
