Run and Catch
Gem grinned as a shiver of anticipation ran down her spine. She could feel the beginnings of her heat, the adrenaline, the warmth, and the knot of want in her belly calling more and more loudly for the attention of her Alpha and beta. Gem moved through the small apartment to the bedroom and immediately began to strip out of her work clothes.
The last thirteen days had been full of the three of them, Gem, Remus, and Sirius getting to know each other (or getting reacquainted in a different way) and realizing that they fit together beautifully. They weren’t officially a triad… yet. But they were dating and flirting and snogging like desperate teenagers and it was thrilling.
Gem dropped the last of her clothing to the floor and stalked over to the dresser, searching out her sexiest muggle fitness clothing. Remus would be home from work soon, and Sirius would be joining them shortly after that, and Gem knew exactly what to do with them. Her thighs clenched at the thought of what was going to happen. Gem’s heat would hit fully in the next few hours, but she always liked to play first, a game to get things up and running as it were.
She quickly yanked on her emerald green running shorts and black tank top, not bothering with undergarments. If Sirius was anything like Remus, and from what she could tell, he would be, her lacy underthings would get destroyed rather than appreciated. Gem allowed herself a moment to stretch and pur at the thought before throwing on socks and trainers. She needed to be ready soon or the game would be over all too soon.
“You’re serious” the Alpha had asked when she’d told him about her games last night over drinks at a small wizarding pub?
“No, you’re Sirius. She’s Gem.” Both of them had ignored Remus’ remark.
“I like the adrenaline rush. Is that so bad?” Gem took a slow sip from her butterbeer, maintaining eye contact with the Alpha while she did, silently challenging him.
“It’s not bad, I’ve just never heard of a willing Omega running away from their- their choice of Alpha as they’re going into heat.” They all knew the word choice was deliberate. He wasn’t their Alpha, yet. His grey eyes flicked over to Remus, “Or their beta. You sure it’s not just a predatory thing?” Code for werewolf thing, Gem recognized and nearly rolled her eyes. It was her idea, not Remus.
Remus gave Sirius a wolfish grin and placed his hand on Sirius’ thigh. “Jealous, Padfoot? I could always chase you a day or two before the full.” His eyes flickered amber for a moment even though the moon was still in its earliest waxing phase.
Gem smirked at the way Sirius’ eyes darkened. “Or are you worried you won’t be able to keep up?”
Sirius growled and pulled Gem onto his lap at that, thankful that their corner booth was hidden from most of the pub’s other patrons. “Oh, I promise little one, I will have no trouble keeping up with you.”
Gem giggled and Remus smiled, neither seeming the least bit perturbed by the way Gem’s new position trapped Remus’ hand between Gem and Sirius, keeping them all close.
“Then you’ll play with us?” Gem asked with feigned innocence, resting one hand on Remus’ shoulder as she turned he sweetest doe-eyes on Sirius.
“Gladly, baby.”
Gem fished her wand out of the pocket of her robe just as the low roar of the floo told her Remus was home from work. Tucking it in the waistband of her shorts, she rushed out of the bedroom to Remus beside the fireplace. She placed a quick kiss to the stubble of his cheek before going quickly to their front door.
“Dean!” Gem called over her shoulder, almost making it to the door before Remus caught her wrist and pulled her in to scent her.
“You’re getting awfully close there, little flame. Sure you don’t want to stay here and let me stoke the fire until Sirius arrives?” His voice growled in her ear, making her legs tremble and clench. Her body wanted to melt into him, let him care for her and tease her until she forgot her name, but her mind had other plans that she knew would be more enjoyable in the long run.
“And where’s the fun in that?” She asked, trying to sound defiant though it came out breathy instead. She slipped away and he let her go.
“See you soon, little flame. And you’ll pay for that crack.” His eyes burned into her back.
“Looking forward to it.” Gem turned, giving him a wink before she disapperated from their entryway and into the forest of Dean.
