The train ride was just...:thud LOL, Will wanted to surprise Buffy but she ended up being the surprised one! Poor Tara must've been feeling all sorts of confused being surrounded by Angel, Faith, and Buffy with Willow unconscious. Her energy was already way down...hopefully she'll be okay. Can't wait to see how the rest of the visit goes :p

Michelle – So that’s another favorable reaction to the train ride it sounds like. Tee hee. Yeah a hard start to the visit with Willow surprising them but being surprised. And that left Tara dealing with people she didn’t know: two slayers and a vampire at that. The rest of the visit will be interesting :grin Thanks for commenting.

Thoughts in italics!





Tara woke to the smell of coffee and a very bad headache. Her head felt like every vein and artery in it was on fire. When she moved as little as opening her eyes, the movement of the eyelashes made her world swim and the nausea was almost overwhelming. But as bad as she felt, she felt something wonderful too. Willow was wrapped in her arms. Tara chuckled as she thought about when she first met the redhead. She remembered being confused as if Willow had two personalities. One was the sweet angel she saw sleeping so beautifully and the other was the delinquent in and out of trouble with her old school. Now her amusement increased as she looked at her lover. The redhead was sleeping peacefully and deeply as she usually was when Tara rose for the day. But she sported a nasty looking black-eye and a mark where her skin had been split open. In fact, the entire side of her cheek was badly bruised. Tara knew that she would need to do some additional healing or Willow would be really hurting for a long time.



Quietly and painfully, the blonde eased herself from the bed and went to take a shower. Her head continued to throb from the exertions of the past two days. After getting dressed, she went downstairs and found Buffy having breakfast. The slayer offered some to Tara who gladly accepted.



“Will’s still sleeping huh? That girl can really sleep in when she wants to,” Buffy observed.



Tara laughed as she agreed: “Yeah. She likes to sleep late and with her head hurting so badly, I wouldn’t be surprised if she sleeps for a really long time.”



Buffy nodded: “I feel bad about what happened. I mean I know it’s my fault for not telling her about Angel but I just didn’t know what to do. I mean how do you tell someone you love so much that you love someone you shouldn’t? I mean how can she understand? And now I kept this huge secret and she’s still my best friend but what if she doesn’t trust me or forgive me?”



Tara let Buffy talk placing her hand gently over the slayer’s and sending some comforting energy through the connection. Even that help taxed her energy and increased her headache and she knew that she needed to rejuvenate soon. “M-m-maybe she can understand. M-m-maybe you can j-j-just explain and b-b-be honest?” Tara ventured.



Buffy just nodded, contemplating the conversation she knew needed to happen with her best friend. She relaxed as she thought about how much she had missed the redhead and how happy she was to have her back home.



“B-b-buffy?” Tara stuttered.



“Yeah what Tara?” Buffy answered.



“I have q-q-question and I don’t know if it will m-m-make sense,” Tara began. As Buffy nodded, Tara continued, “um. I n-n-need to m-m-meditate. Like a cleansing. B-b-but the H-h-hellmouth…”



“You need a place to do your ritual?” Buffy ventured.



“Y-y-yes. Someplace outside,” Tara clarified.



Buffy finished eating and stood up from the table. “Let me call Giles—he’s my watcher, like a trainer—he should know someplace that will work for you. Ok?”



Tara nodded her agreement.



After a few minutes Buffy came back the room: “Hey Tara?”



Tara looked up from the magazine she was browsing: “Y-y-yes?”



Buffy told her, “Giles has a place that he says is pretty good. It’s on hallowed ground so it’s pretty shielded from the Hellmouth. He can come pick you up if you want to go over there and I can stay here with Willow.”



Tara nodded to Buffy’s suggestion and the slayer went to call Giles back. On one hand, Tara didn’t want to leave Willow but on the other, if she didn’t go and do some energy work, she couldn’t do any more healing and she knew it was really needed. After checking on Willow and ensuring that the redhead was still sleeping comfortably, she left instructions with Buffy to give her some aspirin when she got up and left with Giles.



---



Willow woke up with a terrible headache. As she sat up, feeling the room spin out of control, she wondered when she had decided to allow a truck to drive over her head. As the cloud between her aching ears eased, she remembered the events of the last night. Oh, what a mistake. Trying to wrap her mind around everything she processed what she knew. Let’s go one at a time: Angel’s alive or well, not alive but still undead and no one told me. Especially Buffy. When I attacked him, Faith used my head for a soccer ball. Tara healed me and made herself sick.



On one hand, Willow felt tremendous anger at the slayer for keeping Angel’s return from her. She wanted to know what had happened and how he came back if Buffy even really killed him to begin with. At the same time, she wanted and needed to talk to Buffy about Tara. Not just because she wanted to be open and didn’t want to keep anything from her but because this feeling, this love, this amazingness was just too much to keep to herself. She wanted to share it with her friend because she knew that even if Buffy was shocked, she would be happy for her friend. Because that is what friends do. Right?



Placing a hand on the side of her head so that it wouldn’t fall off, Willow sat up and swung her legs off the bed. Ok, that went well. I don’t think I’ll hurl yet. she thought. It seemed to her that showering would probably be expecting a bit much but a bath would feel good.



After finishing her bath and dressing, Willow slowly made her way downstairs. It sounded as if the house were empty although she couldn’t imagine where Tara would be since she didn’t know anyone in Sunnydale. Since yelling would hurt her head, Willow slowly toured the rooms of the house and found them to be empty as she had suspected. Well, that’s a fine how-do-you-do she thought. I come home and my girlfriend and my best friend bail on me. Where are they? “Tara?” she called quietly. Getting no response, she entered the kitchen and saw a piece of paper on the island.



Will,



I had to go to the library to meet with Giles. I’m sure he would love to see you if you want to come. Giles took Tara somewhere to meditate. She said she needs a few hours so we should both be back around 4 or 5 unless you come to the library. Tara said you should take a few aspirin and take it easy.



Tonight we Bronze it? Hope you feel up to it. I’m glad you’re here.



Love Buffy




After reading and rereading the note, Willow made a sandwich and went back upstairs. She started reading one of the books Teresa had given the girls on magic but it hurt her eyes and she found them closing.



---



A few hours later Tara and Buffy entered the house quietly, aware that Willow might be resting since she had not shown up at the library. Tara felt much better having found the location Giles suggested very appropriate and full of positive mystical energy. The most difficult part of the afternoon was meeting a new person and an adult at that. But Giles was very nice and patient with her stutter, which had definitely increased in severity since arriving in Sunnydale. When Tara could bring herself to actually talk to the older gentleman, she discerned that he did seem to have a lot of useful knowledge concerning the occult and mystical forces. While Buffy went to get a soda, Tara said she would go and check on Willow.



Entering the guestroom, she was overwhelmed once again at her depth of love for the sleeping redhead. Willow lay on the bed one hand over an open magic book, the other resting comfortably at the unbuttoned and unzipped fly to her jeans. The blonde smiled as she saw her lover so innocent and not so innocent at the same time. Approaching, she could smell Willow’s essence and knelt by the bed, taking the redhead’s fingers in her mouth and lightly sucking them. Willow’s eyes flashed open as she stammered: “Tara?”



Dropping her lover’s hand back to its resting place, Tara teased, “would it be anyone else love? I just thought you should share a little of that wonderful taste.”



Grabbing a pillow Willow quickly plopped it on top of her head and groaned. Tara gently removed the barrier from her blushing girlfriend: “How are you feeling love?”



“Well, embarrassed. I mean ok, maybe I shouldn’t be embarrassed but yeah embarrassed because you came in and I’m sleeping here and what was I doing before I fell asleep and I was thinking about you and your beautiful blue eyes and then well, I just you know and it’s totally obvious and now I’m all red and blushing and looking totally silly. Also my head feels like someone ran me over with a truck and I’m getting tired of feeling crummy because this is the second time in three days and I didn’t get to see you all day and Buffy wasn’t here either and this is not the best vacation I’ve ever had.” Finally Willow ran out of breath.



Tara laughed lightly at her lover and whispered in her ear, “I’m glad to hear you were thinking about me. I’ve missed you. Missed you in my mouth and on my tongue.” Seeing Willow turn bright red again the blonde decided to go easier on her. “I’m sorry that you are hurting. I went and got a recharge so I can do some more work on your head. Giles brought Buffy and I home. She’s ordering pizza for dinner ok?”



She kissed the redhead lightly on the forehead, pulling back as they heard Buffy’s footsteps on the landing. “Hey guys,” Buffy said, “how are you feeling Will?”



“Some better but still hurting a lot,” Willow explained.



“Well, the pizza’s going to take about 45 minutes if you want to do your thing now,” Buffy told Tara. Tara had to cut her eyes at Willow who was giggling in response to the thought of Tara “doing her thing.” She really had trouble containing herself when Buffy asked, “can I watch? I’d really like to see the kind of stuff you two do together.”



Pinching Willow’s leg through her jeans, Tara swallowed loudly before answering: “Um s-s-sure. Um. In a m-m-minute.” She quickly got up and went to the bathroom where both girls could hear her running the water loudly. Willow knew that Tara was just too embarrassed to stay in the room and she enjoyed feeling like the tables had turned on the blonde who was teasing her just a few minutes earlier.



When Tara returned to the room, looking much refreshed not to mention less red, she quickly directed Willow to lie on the bed and Buffy out of her way. From her bag, she pulled some herbs that she scattered around the room before concentrating her energy on the redhead. To Buffy, the process looked much like the one that Tara had initiated the night before. The exception was that this time, rather than seeing the green energy directly tying itself to the cut on Willow’s face, it appeared to envelop her entire being. Tara sat completely still as if she were just a conduit for the energy passing from her into Willow’s being. As the slayer watched, the bruising on the redhead’s face lessened noticeably. After a while, Tara opened her eyes, brushing her fingertips lovingly over Willow’s forehead. She motioned to Buffy that the smaller girl was asleep and the two blondes crept quietly from the room, pulling the door shut behind them.



“Wow, Tara, I could really use you around here. Even with slayer healing, I get banged up all the time. You’re awesome,” Buffy genuinely complimented the witch.



“Th-th-thanks B-b-buffy. I just like to h-h-help people.” The blonde looked down at her feet as she spoke.



As the girls heard the doorbell, announcing the arrival of the pizza, Buffy informed Tara, “well, since you like to help people. You’d make a great scoobies.” She turned and went down the stairs to get the pizza and Tara followed right behind her.



The two blondes were just putting their slices on plates as Willow entered the kitchen. “Hey sw-Willow, you w-w-want some?” Tara asked her.



Willow smiled as she reached out for the plate: “Definitely. I’m starving. I feel like I could eat a horse. Or maybe another very large animal if it was cooked and had a good sauce like Bernaise or Hollandaise I guess.”



Buffy laughed as she asked, “so Will, are you feeling better? You look way better.”



The redhead continued shoveling in the pizza as she answered: “tons. My ba… Tara here is really a good witch. Very powerful. Barely have a headache at all.”



“Yeah, she’s very cool,” Buffy agreed. “I was thinking if you’re feeling up to it, how about you and me go on patrol tonight. We can talk and stuff and then we can meet up with everyone at the Bronze.” She looked from Willow to Tara to make sure that the plan was ok with them.



Willow hesitated before answering, looking at Tara, “uh well. That sound good I mean goodly mcgood but Tare, do you want to wait for us at the Bronze or would you rather stay here till we get back?”



“Hey, Faith said she would hang with you at the Bronze,” Buffy interjected. “I talked to here a little while ago. She said you two can play while we go to the office,” the slayer joked.



After finishing eating and noting the ensuing darkness, the three girls went upstairs to get dressed. “Hey baby, are you ok about this plan?” Willow asked her lover.



“W-w-well, I’m a little n-n-nervous you know? I mean Faith is a little…” Tara trailed off. “I mean, d-d-didn’t you think?”



Willow laughed, “sweetie. I really didn’t notice much about her except her stylish yet affordable shoe smashing into my skull and knocking my overactive brain loose.”



Tara hugged the redhead close saying, “I’m glad you are f-f-feeling better love. But Faith. I just don’t kn-kn-know…”



“What don’t you just know love?” Willow questioned.



Tara backed up as a flush entered her cheeks explaining, “well. It’s just. I think she kind of, you know, g-g-gets off on the s-s-slaying. You know?”



Willow looked aghast as she answered: “For real? That’s weird. I mean ok, she must like to get off or something. She slept with Xander after all. Hmmm, actually I’m not sure if that means she does or doesn’t like to get off. Don’t even want to think about it. Come-on love; Buffy’s waiting for us and the evil undead won’t wait.”



---



Faith was already at the Bronze, dancing in the center of a circle of hulking guys. As she saw the other three girls come in, she left the dance floor to come over and check on them and particularly on how Willow’s head felt, apologizing again. Seeing how good Willow looked, she told Tara: “Damn girl, you must be really good if she’s feeling that good already.” Turning to Willow and Buffy, she directed, “hey girls. Go do my job for a while and I’ll keep this one busy ok?”



As soon as the other two had left, Faith turned to Tara, “so Blondie, you want a drink?”



“Tara.”



“Tara what? Oh Tara name right. So you want a drink Blondie?” Faith pulled the witch toward the bar.



Tara looked at Faith for a moment with complete puzzlement. Although she persisted in calling Tara Blondie, Faith’s tone and manner were nice, perhaps a little too nice. As if she were brewing up some plan and Tara didn’t really know what to expect from the dark-haired slayer. Attempting to gather some more information, Tara ensured that she brushed fingers with the slayer as she handed her the cup of water. Shocked she pulled back her hand as she tried to identify the myriad emotions pouring through her companion. She identified numerous ones including but not limited to: anger, sadness, grief, rage, lust, and happiness. The grief and rage seemed to battle for supremacy on the inside although Tara felt that Faith’s outside betrayed those emotions.



Moving closer to the blonde, Faith asked, “so you wanna go dance or what?”



Tara was still nervous about the brunette’s motivation but decided to try and be friendly back: “o-o-ok.”



The two moved to the dance floor where Faith quickly staked them a sizeable portion of real estate and began gyrating energetically. Tara moved less vigorously, being much more of a two-step girl than a bump and grind girl at least on the dance floor she thought. As the music progressed, the blonde became more and more interested in her dancing and began really letting herself go, enjoying the physical motion. It had been a day since she’d had any good exercise and her muscles warmed to the activity quickly.



As she danced, Tara watched the other woman closely. She seemed to be really enjoying herself in the dance. Occasionally she turned to rub against someone who was dancing close by and she seemed to have plenty of guys intentionally stationing themselves at hand or hip to be available. Playing the good host, she returned after each encounter to give her attention to Tara. As the evening progressed, the dance floor became more and more crowded and the two women danced closer together. Tara was shocked as Faith suddenly moved closer than the space limitations required, rubbing her body up and down Tara’s stiffening one: “so Blondie,” she smiled sexily, “it’s really nice that you came home to visit with your friend .”



As Tara tried to move subtly away from the slayer, she attempted to answer, “w-w-w-what? W-w-w-hat? M-m-maybe we sh-sh-sh-ould sit d-d-d-own?”



“Sure,” Faith shrugged, “whatever you want Blondie.” The two girls turned toward the couches lining the wall of the club. As they neared an empty couch, Tara felt Faith right at her shoulder and heard her whisper: “so Blondie, do you stutter when you scream her name?” As Tara turned to look at the dark-haired slayer, Faith uttered a parody of an orgasmic scream: “W-w-willow!”



Tara stared on in absolute shock as the dark-haired slayer fell into the couch, grinning widely. She was still standing there opening and closing her mouth repeatedly when the young man with spiked hair approached. “Hey,” he said to Faith, turning to Tara and wiggling his nose as if smelling the air around her.



---



After leaving Tara with Faith at the Bronze, Buffy and Willow started their patrol. They walked in silence to the cemetery, cautious for any visitors. “Well, I could ask how school is or something lame like that but I’m guessing that are wondering about Angel,” Buffy started.



Willow nodded her bruised head, “it did cross my mind. Buffy, why didn’t you tell me?”



Sitting on a headstone Buffy started to explain: “I really was going to tell you. I was planning to tell you all about it when I picked you guys up at the station today. You know, during the daylight.”



“Ok sure,” Willow answered, “but Buffy, why didn’t you tell me before?”



“Oh God Will, I wanted to tell you so bad. But at first, it just hurt so badly. I mean I killed him and I left town. And then I came back and it was so painful to be here and you weren’t here to help me,” Buffy started. Willow looked at her in a mixture of sadness, compassion, and resentment that Buffy seemed to blame Willow’s absence on her. “Then he came back and he was in really bad shape. He’d been in hell Willow. But he got better. And I wanted to tell you but then it seemed like the longer I hadn’t told you the worse it would be to tell. Does that make any sense?”



Willow had taken Buffy’s hand while she spoke and now answered, “kindof. I’m sorry that you were hurting so badly. I missed you so much. And well, yeah, I’m hurt that you didn’t tell me about Angel but I guess I kind of understand. I mean, sometimes you want to tell someone something. Something really important that makes you really happy but you don’t know if your friend will take it right and will approve of it. Like what if they can’t handle hearing who you love and they don’t accept it?”



Buffy hugged her friend, “wow, Willow. I can’t believe that you understand so well how I feel about Angel. You’re really smart you know,” she finished, completely oblivious to Willow’s intended double meaning and the reason for her empathy.



Willow decided to dive right in saying, “uh yeah well. I do understand. Really Buff. And well, actually I kind of was wanting to talk …”



Her words were cut off by the appearance of three vampires coming through the bushes across from where the two girls sat. “Well, look at that dinner,” the biggest one growled.



“You’re gonna wish you had called out for pizza like we did,” Buffy quipped as she leapt from the headstone and went straight for the lead vampire. Sidestepping his first blow easily, she staked him from behind. Not watching his pile of dust settle, she quickly moved to the next one, taking him on in a flurry of punches and kicks as the final vampire advanced on Willow. Scared for Willow, Buffy staked her prey and moved to grab the vampire that was still moving toward the redhead. As she grabbed him by the collar, spinning him around before her could reach her friend, Buffy heard Willow call out: “hey Buff, wait a minute. I want to try something.”



Both the slayer and vampire looked puzzled but the witch smiled back at them. Suddenly Buffy felt heat and dropped her grip on the collar of the vampire, looking down to see flames spreading all over his clothing. He screamed, trying to pat them out and dropped to the ground to roll but was quickly reduced to a screaming pile of ash. As the witch dropped to the ground next to Buffy, staring at the spot where the vampire had just been, she smiled broadly.



Buffy hugged her friend, “hey Wills, check you out: witch-foo. First the curse on Angel and now this. You are getting way powerful.”



Willow looked at the ground saying, “well sure powerful. Too bad the curse didn’t work.”



As they started walking through the again quiet cemetery Buffy whispered, “it worked Will.”



Stopping to look at her friend, Willow questioned, “what? It worked? But you killed him.”



Unable to hold back her tears Buffy explained, “he’d already awakened it. I had to kill him anyway. I kissed him and told him I loved him and asked him to shut his eyes. Then I killed him and sent him to hell. He never even understood what was going on Will.” Buffy collapsed to the ground, unable to contain the emotion. As Willow held her best friend, Buffy finally experienced all the anger and grief that she had been holding in. Willow leaned against the nearest headstone, feeling her best friend’s grief and perhaps beginning to understand why the slayer had run away.



---



Faith looked from Tara to Oz. This should be good she thought as she smiled. “Hey Oz, this is Tara, Willow’s friend from school,” she politely introduced them.



Oz quickly held out his hand, sniffing no longer just at the air, but at Tara herself. “Tara?” he questioned.



Realizing that the smaller man was not letting go of her hand, Tara trembled slightly, “n-n-nice to m-m-meet you.” She glanced over at Faith who appeared to be amused by the entire encounter.



Oz began politely, “friend of Willo…” Raising his eyebrows he sniffed at her more directly and obviously: “You smell like her. She's all over you, you know that?”



Tara started to withdraw from the conversation, “I I I c-c-can’t talk about th-th-this.”



Withdrawing his hand, the boy pulled back, “Hey sorry, uh nice to meet you Tara.” He turned and quickly walked back toward the stage.



Breathing out the breath she had been holding, Tara turned to see Faith smiling, “well that went well didn’t it?” Seeing the angry look on the blonde’s face, Faith smiled her innocent smile, “come on let’s dance and we won’t have to talk ok? Truce?” She held up her hand and Tara shook it briefly before moving toward the dance floor.



---



When she was totally cried out, Buffy wiped her face on her shirt before hugging her friend. “Thanks Will. I’ve really missed you you know?” As Willow nodded, hugging her again, Buffy continued, “it’s been really hard without you here and keeping this from you and everything.”



As they stood to continue their patrol, Willow started, “hey, speaking of well stuff and everything, I was wanting to kind of talk to you about I mean well, if this is a good time and everything and well with the not keeping secrets and with the happy and you know how sometimes you don’t tell something and then you want to but the time isn’t right and you still want to…”



“Willow, you’re making my head hurt,” Buffy interrupted, “can you slow down?”



Willow took a breath before speaking, “yeah sure slow down. Um well so about Tara…”



“Yeah Tara, I wonder if she and Faith are having a good time at the Bronze. We should head over there soon,” Buffy mused.



“Soon,” Willow echoed, “but with the point. So about Tara…”



“Right Tara, sorry that we didn’t have more room at the house, only one guest room you know? Tonight we can do the slumber party thing, you and me. But sorry that you had to share a room last night Will,” Buffy blathered on oblivious to the frustration streaking the redhead’s face.



The anxiety and frustration of this conversation was really getting to Willow. She grabbed Buffy’s wrist, “Buff, listen to me: Tara and I don’t mind sharing the guestroom.”



“Oh well, that’s good. I wouldn’t want to make you uncomfortable.”



“Of course not,” the redhead sighed, “you see the thing is that we sleep in the same room every night.”



“Oh right, you are roommates then? I was confused about that. I thought your mom got you a single,” Buffy questioned.



Dropping to the ground and starting to gently pound her forehead against the heel of her hand, Willow strained to explain, “no. We’re not roommates.”



Buffy dropped to sit by her best friend: “You’re not roommates but you sleep in the same room every night? Why, is her roommate loud or has guys over all the… no. that’s not what you mean is it?”



“It’s really not,” Willow agreed.



Getting up and beginning to pace, Buffy rambled: “Well... That's great too, right? I mean, she seems like a great girl, Will..”



As she swelled up with pride, Willow began her babble: “She is. And there's something

between us... I wasn't looking for it, you know. It's just totally powerful.”



Worried about the slayer’s response, Willow asked, “Are you freaked? Do you get it?”



Buffy nodded, “What? No, Wi- No! Absolutely no to that question. I'm glad you told me.

You like Tara; that’s cool.”



Wondering how thick Buffy could possibly be, Willow clarified, “yes it’s cool but Buffy?” Seeing Buffy nod at her to continue Willow explained, “I don’t like her I mean well, I do like her I mean, I’m in love with her. I’m crazy about her. I love her more than I ever knew it was possible. Just the thought that she exists and knows that I exist fills me with more joy than you could imagine. I want nothing more from life than to make her happy forever.”



By now the two girls had turned to approach the Bronze. Buffy nodded, “Uh ok. Well, I’m glad you told me.” They joined Faith and Tara in the bar to dance until everyone was tired and wanted to go home.

And Faith slutbomb strikes again, i mean it's not a surprise, she is much like in the show, but what a hard time for Tara who is so gentle and careful about people feelings, spending time with Faith must have felt like Hiroshima!

I'm sure that if Willow would have known Faith like she knew her in the show at this time she would have never let Tara be alone with her, not one single second:no But anyway Tara's a big girl and intelligent enough to let it slide.

About Oz and Tara's encounter, it seemed to go relatively well but in another hand there were to many people around and specially a slayer for him to react badly, and i'm wondering what will be his reaction if he should see her or Willow again:hmm

And of course the winner of the "most oblivious girl on earth" award is... tadam..... Buffy Summers:clap

I don't know but when i read the last line from Buffy i still wasn't 100% sure she got the message:rollin :rollin

Great update as always i'm impatient to see the next one :willow reaction to Faith's behavior might be quite interesting!;)

Great work on this chapter (and on the last one too, come to think of it... don't think I gave any feedback *bad Nora*)-- it's great to see that even though Faith's still the same old Faith, Buffy's OK with Willow loving whoever she wants... I just hope that Faith can learn a modicum of tact in Scoobie meetings... what? No hope of that, you say? Well, fine... be that way... can't wait for more! -Nora

The trip to Tara's place seemed like it went well... definitely like your version of her family way better! :) I liked the whole Grandma interaction with Willow. :) The poor horse Tara was trying to heal... awwww :( that to me was very sad for some reason - and i really really don't like horsies at all! :p



And even though the arrival to Sunnydale wasn't so pleasant it's getting there. Faith :rolleyes she's just... well Faith, she has to try and make everything difficult! The whole Oz and Tara introduction i was quite interested in seeing how you'd play that out.



I'm glad Willow told Buffy about her and Tara... its very hard for her to actually say the things she means w/out going into something totally different - which would also be known as her babble - which i love but i didn't think it'd actually come out of her mouth when she was trying to explain and Buffy wasn't helping much. :rolleyes Hopefully things are pretty smooth here on out! :)



We were going to go see The Hours also this weekend but my girlfriend dragged me to Just Married which was very funny. I think since you said it was "Absolutely spectacular" and gave it some clappies i'm gonna have to drag her to it soon... cuz the book was just amazing, very beautiful in deed! :D



Can't wait for the next update! And i'll be sure and catch it when you actually post this time instead of getting soooo far behind! ;)

Just wanted to tell you how much I love this fic. You're one of the reasons I'm addicted to fanfiction. I loved the way you portrayed Tara's family, how they loved and accepted her. In most fics they always beat her or worse. I don't think I have to even mention the train ride.:thud I hope Buffy doesn't start acting weird around Will and Tara. If anyone she can relate the best to how Willow is feeling, with her and Angel's "relationship" Can't wait for another update.

Hi Debra!



Sorry for missing two great updates but I had been ill the last couple of days and reading made me dizzy and it still does.



Poor Willow, being knocked out by Faith...

Poor Tara being teased so badly by Faith :rage

Buffy's reaction to Willow's coming out wasn't the best either....

Tawilove – Yeah, that’s Faith. And the thing is that in instances like these, I don’t even think she’d think of herself as being mean, just having fun. But it is very different from Tara’s personality and her shyness makes it particularly hard. Yeah, she’s good at letting things slide. Yeah, Buffy is the queen of clueless.
Quote:
I don't know but when i read the last line from Buffy i still wasn't 100% sure she got the message




And a cookie to Tawilove. I’d say she kind of gets it. She doesn’t get the love and commitment that W&T share. Just that it seems like a new thing for Willow.



Oh interesting. That is one word for the reaction. I think you’ll like. :sh



Wiccanwiggle – Thanks so much for posting. I’m glad you like my fics and my writing. Of course, I have been so blatant about loving feedback. I think Nath calls himself a feedback slut or whore? Hmmm, I may be moving that direction. But yes to all the above, Faith’s sneaky self and poor shy Tara and Buffy sooooo clueless. You have to really hit the girl to get her to get it. Kind of amazing on the show, Willow spent all that time trying to hide the truth from Buffy and she could have done anything and her best friend wouldn’t have noticed.



Nick – Yeah, Buffy is the queen of clueless all agreed say ‘Aye.’ The ayes have it. Yeah Oz is still around but he took it pretty well. Faith is a little less dense? Can you say understatement? Faith is the opposite of dense I’d say. She gets it totally. Thanks a ton for posting and reading.



BV – Glad you liked both interactions. Yeah Faith is full-fledged Faith. And Willow would have to be pounding her forehead trying to talk to Buffy. Geez….



Nora – No, good Nora. I love your feedback. It’s always enjoyable and intelligent and thank you so much. But what would make you think that Faith would ever learn any tact? What would be her motivation to do that? I can’t imagine. Buffy is ok at the level that she understands the relationship I would say.



Leni – You mean you didn’t like the Faith part? I loved writing it. Seemed very in character for her. And sure she’s terrorizing Tara but Tara is equipped ok to deal with it here. Glad you liked.



Ashley – Wow, were you out of town to read so many updates? Welcome back from wherever. Hee hee, everyone liked the train ride update. Glad to please :sigh



Yeah, I think the trip to Tara’s family went very well. We know more about Willow and magic now than we ever did before. And Tara gave her everything to the horse so it will be fine.



Yeah, I had mixed feelings about the Tara & Oz thing. On one hand, there is the precedent of the show to follow a little. But on the other, that’s not where I wanted to take it. And as I’ve pointed out, the difference in Willow & Oz’s relationship here from the show is huge. It seems to me that in the 4 months Willow has been at school, Oz has been carrying on his own life. While he might be confused about Tara having Willow’s scent on her, that would be mainly a curiosity rather than a reason for jealousy and rage.



Ha ha. Seems that when you were describing Willow Babble, you engaged in it too. Fun to read. Yeah, Willow finally got it out to Buffy and Buffy kind of gets it.



Wow Just Married rather than The Hours. Sounds like a 100% different movie choice there. If you loved the book, you will love the movie. They did a wonderful job and pretty much everyone in it is wonderful. Allison Janey and Claire Danes are both stunningly beautiful (not their performances particularly but their appearances). Everyone else has amazing performances. Enjoy.



Thanks for posting.



TaraisAliveInMyHeart - Hey, 2 posts and one is for me. Thanks so much and welcome :clap :clap :clap . I love feedback from all the kittens. Yeah, usually Tara’s family is terrible but I didn’t want to deal with that so here they are good. Glad you liked the Train Ride too. Buffy will handle pretty well but some interesting happenings to come in regard to W&T (hee hee, some teasing hints here. I’m evil :evil )



Stef – Sorry you are sick. Dizzy when reading is never good. You could always watch TV if reading makes you sick. I hope you feel better :pray



And yes we have some definitely ahh poor… cases here. Poor Willow’s head and poor Tara being teased and Buffy kind of gets it. Thanks and feel better soon.

poor Tara getting teased by Faith like that. maybe Willow should have made a big sign that says "I love Tara" and smacked Buffy upside the head with it, she might of figured it out quicker.

:lol and :clap :clap That was just too darned funny. I really enjoyed that, so thank you. Firstly with quirky quotes like
Quote:
Placing a hand on the side of her head so that it wouldn’t fall off,
and Willow's reaction to dense Buffy

Quote:
Wondering how thick Buffy could possibly be, Willow clarified..


Classic. I know you warned us how cluseless Buffy was going to be but that was just so funny, and sadly completely believable!



As for Faith, I think you've got her spot on here. She's just a tease, plain and simple. Sexually yes, but she also just enjoys playing with people, to her its fun but I thought Tara handled it quite well, although I must admit I was wondering what she was going to say just before Oz turned up.

I loved Willow's declaration at the end, so sweet, but I really didn't want them to get to the Bronze then. I was hoping for a little more between Willow and Buffy given Willow's outburst but I'm more than looking forward to the Willow Faith interaction not to mention the little factor of Oz!! She thinks her vacation is bad already? I think it may just be getting interesting :lol (quick disclaimer, the vacation, not the fic Debra :grin )



Oh and loved the whole finger sucking not so innocent Willow and Tara. The little vixens. Heh.

Great stuff, more please oh kind one,

Grimaldi – Yeah Faith is a definite tease. But Tara certainly does her share of teasing too so maybe this is little payback time? Ok, she teases Willow, not Faith but still…



Do you think that Buffy would get a sign “I love Tara” if Willow wacked her head with it? Hard to imagine. :rollin



Sonya – Yeah to the head rollin off. I’ve been there myself. I’m glad you liked the dialog and writing so much. And yeah, see I told you Buffy was a clue-free zone. And glad you liked the Faith here too. Yes, I don’t think she’s particularly evil (particularly not yet) but she likes to have her fun and see people uncomfortable. Particularly in sexual teasing. There will be more on the Willow & Buffy front. Sorry you were disappointed about the arrival at the Bronze but time to go, you know? Ha ha, liked the finger sucking? My wife read that and was like “what? That doesn’t even make sense.” I don’t think she liked it. :cry . Thanks for your comments.

Why would Faith learn tact? Because we *all* know that Faith's just a big snuggle-bunny deep down inside, right? *that was sarcasm, for the record! :) * I'm curious also to see how the timeline's changed without Willow there- nothing major, like Buffy getting defeated by some Big Bad she beat with Willow's help, but just changed perspective, changed group dynamics... the subtle stuff. *whistles, awaiting update* -Nora

Just want to say that I am loving this fic. I'm shocked that I just picked it up since I love Willow and tara meeting up stories. I guess I was freaked by your first thanks and notes to :joss . I love the way you have set up an alternate universe by having Willow go to school in Texas. I think that you have really captured Tara and Willow. They are both a mix of shyness and strength but in different ways. Tara has a nurturing strength while Willow has a more protective one. The trip to Tara's family was alo of fun and it's great to see them as nice people. I can't wait to see how it goes in Sunnydale. Thanks.

Re: W/T Season 3 Y'all Part 32

Postby The Rose24 » Tue Jan 21, 2003 12:59 am

I just found this story, and I just spent two days catching up.



WOW. Where do I start?



First, I love the way W/T first meet. Their conversation about Y'all(I was raised in the South, so I know what this means) is hilarious. I love how Tara is attracted to Willow immediately, and not too much later, how Willow is attracted to Tara. It is funny how Tara is wary of Willow because Willow's file kind of portrays her as a juvenile delinquent. Just like on the show, they start trying to spend every free moment together. Tara knows Willow has feelings for her but does not put any pressure on Willow. It has to be Willow's decision completely.



Second, W/T's courtship is perfect. They go on a lot of dates and outings and Tara goes to Willow's room when she is not feeling well because that is where she feels the most peace and tranquility. Their conversations are magnificent, and I think these are more memorable than the intimate scenes. :heart Willow is patient and waits until Tara is ready before making love. They take things relatively slowly although they do a lot of heavy petting without actually going all the way(re: breasts ;) ).



Third, the anniversary trip and the trip to Tara's farm are some of my favorite scenes. I really love the fact Tara's family is nothing like the a**holes on the actual show. W/T are able to get away from the stress and pressure of school. Tara's grandmother is an astonishing woman and knows instantly W/T are deeply in love. The ring exchange is priceless because they get each other the exact same ring but with different colored stones. Again, this shows how strong and deep their connection is.



Fourth, I have mixed feelings about the stop in Sunnydale. I have never been a big fan of Faith, I hate the way Faith treats Tara, in this story, and on the actual show. I am so glad when Tara holds faith down with that piece of pipe. The scene between Buffy and Willow in the graveyard is heart-breaking. Although I have been disillusioned with Buffy since season six, it is still hard to see her breaking down about Angel. Now, I am actually ready for W/T to get back to Texas, so they will have less distractions. Willow also seems to be in less danger in Texas. Selfish, huh? :grin



All in All, this is a brilliant story. I am glad I decided to read it.



A couple of questions:



Is Tara dyslexic? I remember Willow having to read Flowers of Algernon to Tara. Will this be brought up again?



Is Willow Tara's first lover? You mentioned Tara is Willow's first.



How much longer do you plan on going on with this story? There seems to be a lot of stories to tell here. I am asking because I am wondering if you will send this to me in a word document when it is complete. I would love to add this to my collection of fan fic.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

And as for Willow 'trying' to tell Buffy that she and Tara are together, boy that girl is DENSE! :lol Seriously, they were all great updates, and as much as I like it just being Willow and Tara it's good to read about the same ol' gang! Including nasty Faith (I hated her ever since the episode 'Who are you' when she made fun of Tara, grr) and a very dumb Buffy. :D



I'm going to be a faithful feedbacker from now on because I love this fic!! :heart

Postby Grimlock72 » Tue Jan 21, 2003 2:23 pm



I wonder if Buffy really does not get it or just wants to avoid getting it.



As on TV no reason ever given to just forgive Angel for killing ms. Calander or in general being a bad person, way to easy glossed over. Buffy never told her friends because she knew they wouldn't approve of course, rightfully so. Indeed the longer she postponed the telling the harder it got, no suprises there :) .



Good that Willow now knows her spell worked, though it was too late for Angel. I wonder if Buffy will mention what Xander told her, hehehe....



Faith having fun at someones else's expense as usual. How hard can it be to pick on people like Tara in an unfamiliar setting huh ? Have her dive of a high building already, higher than that penthouse preferably. Making Tara feel all uncomfortable, grrrr....



Besides, it's of course mighty stupid to ask Willow to patrol with Buffy when Faith is in town. Slayers should patrol, their job... also would prevent Tara getting stuck with Faith.. which would be *good* thing.



Willow seems to have some fairly good control over her magic already. Kinda odd since she hasn't practiced all THAT much. Neat that she could burn ONLY the vamp standing in front of Buffy. Nice of the vamp to hold still too btw :)

littlecrazy80 – Thanks so much. Yes Faith is Faith at 100%. I wouldn’t say it’s torture but not fun for Tara to spend the evening with Faith. But… Tara will get a reward of sorts…



Nora
Quote:

Hmmm, fantasy world right? But don’t you know that “tact is just not saying true stuff” – ok 2 points for the episode and who said it. Yes, you are right that little things have changed due to the absence of Willow. Will get even more divergent later in the season.



Tawilove – Yeah for you!



sam7777 – Thanks for reading and writing. Glad to hook you. I too love the W&T meeting stories the best. Sorry to freak you at first. Glad you are liking so much and think that I have captured the girls. And liked the visit to Tara’s family. Are you liking the Sunnydale visit so far? Welcome :clap :clap :clap



The Rose24 – Wow two new readers and commenters in a row! :bounce :bounce :bounce Glad you found us here. Glad you liked the Y’all stuff and that Tara starts out attracted to Willow and Willow soon follows but Tara gives Willow room to finish off the Oz thing. Glad that’s done too!



Glad you liked the courtship/conversations so much. You like the conversations better than the physical intimacy? But you like that too right? And you like the anniversary and trip to Tara’s. Awesome.



I can understand the wish to return to Texas. My estimate would be 5-6 more parts before the return to school. Some are written and some are in progress. Then we’ll be at school for quite a while. Sorry that you don’t like Faith. I personally love Faith even if she is a jerk to Tara. Quite honestly, I believe that although Tara seems fragile on the outside mostly because of her stutter, she is a lot stronger inside than anyone believes. The first time I watched WAY, I thought that the looks Tara gives and the way she is so uncomfortable with Buffy/Faith is because Faith is being such a jerk. But when I rewatched it, I realized that she isn’t uncomfortable because BF is a jerk: she is uncomfortable because she can tell right off that Buffy <>Buffy. Here, although I think she is shocked by Faith’s rudeness and lack of tact, I think she probably feels sorry for Faith more than anything else.



Yes, I would say that Tara is dyslexic although maybe not formaly diagnosed as such. I was never diagnosed but my wife was as a child. I don’t even remember hearing of it until I was in graduate school but when I describe how hard it is for me to read and more importantly write stuff down, it is obvious that I am dyslexic. So a long way to say yes.



Willow is definitely Tara’s first lover. Your asking that question makes me wonder if I never said that explicitly. Sorry about that. That was a big part of the lack of comfort in moving too fast for her. Of course the bigger reason was that she was in love and didn’t want to make a mistake.



Quote:
How much longer do you plan on going on with this story?


I expect to write it until either Graduation or the end of the summer. Definitely will end before college starts. So quite a while. I have tons of ideas for further scenes and love writing it. I would be glad to send you the file when it’s over but remind me then ok?



Thanks for reading and commenting. I love feedback! :bounce :bounce :bounce



Cath – Welcome back. Tee hee: the train ride. Yes, Buffy is a serious dense cloud and Faith can be very rude. Hmmm, who is ruder: Faith or Anya? Hard call huh? Glad you love the fic and glad to have you commenting.



Grimmy – Certainly could be some combination of the two. But at this point, I would say that Willow has made a thorough effort to be clear about her feelings for Tara. What Buffy does with that is her problem.



You are totally right about Angel. Of course, what disturbed me more was not that he did it and then not but the whole concept of the curse (which is a stupid curse to begin with but don’t get me started). One moment of happiness and he loses his soul? Who says that a moment of happiness can only be sexual fulfillment? What about holding hands and walking in the woods or looking at a baby or hearing a beautiful song? And if someone is that close to just losing it any time, why keep them around? That doesn’t make sense to me.



I was always very bothered that Xander never had to pay for what he told Buffy in Becoming part 2. Yes, grrr to Faith but she’s here for comic relief too so she will keep on with what she’s doing. Sorry about that.



Ha ha to your skepticism about Willow’s magical control. But I figure that being homework girl she’s been doing that spell every day since Tara taught it to her. So now it comes in useful finally.



You crack me up. :rollin



Note – Updates could be sporadic. My mother is in the hospital (or “my mum is in hospital” for our English readers) and I’m going up to be with her for a while. I hope to still be able to get online once a day but not as often as I do here. Thanks for your patience.

Thanks justskipit! I definitely like what you are doing in Sunnydale. I'm especially intrigued with Faith. Is she hitting on Tara (not that Tara has eyes for anyone else) and what will Willow do? Can't wait to see where you take the story. I also love how you reuse the dialogue. The Tara/Oz thing was great. Thanks again.

As for Faith as comic relief; I don't mind the comic stuff it's just NOT fun when it's done on expense of someone else. Tara in this case. I'm fairly sure Willow will agree with me :)

Aimee – Thanks for your thoughts.



sam7777 – You are so welcome. No I wouldn’t say that Faith is hitting on Tara. But I do think that Faith is a person who exudes sexuality and likes to use it. Yes reusing the dialog is always fun. Lots of pens writers do it and I personally find it fun. Thanks for reading and welcome.



Grimmy – Awesome 2 points to you and heck, I’ll throw in a cookie too. Yeah, I agree there is a tenuous line between comic relief and cruelty and Faith certainly treads it but given where her character is going… I’d say at this point we are getting off pretty light.



P.S. and O.T. – looks like your issue about Angel/Angelus is about to be reared again…



Note – Well, I have an update all ready but it’s on my computer at home. I copied it to a disk to bring with me and the file on the disk is corrupted. At latest I will update Sunday. If Rachel can e-mail me the file, earlier than that, perhaps tonight. Thanks for your patience.

Postby JustSkipIt » Thu Jan 23, 2003 8:20 pm

Hmmm, does she?



Title – W/T Season 3 Y’all – part 33 – Test



Author– JustSkipit - Debra



E-maildebraser@yahoo.com



Feedback – Yes please.



Spoilers–Season 3 through Amends



Rating– Part 33 – NC-17



Disclaimer – Willow and Tara and any other character that appeared in the syndicated television show “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” is property of Joss and Mutant Enemy, I’m only borrowing them and am not making any money off them Thanks.



Thoughts in italics!





Tara and Willow lay cuddled on the bed in the guest room. After dancing for a little while, they had come home and Willow had politely indicated to Buffy that she would prefer to sleep with Tara than slumber party it. The redhead was very disappointed when Xander called saying that he wouldn’t make it home until the next day. Apparently his out-of-town relatives had decided to emulate the in-town ones and gotten too drunk to take him to the bus station.



Tara didn’t want to push but she wanted to know how the talk with Buffy had gone. “Sweetie,” she asked, “how was your patrol?”



Excitedly sitting up, Willow began gesturing as she spoke: “it went really well, she staked two vamps and I got one with the fire spell. I just pictured his coat burning and poof: no more vampire. What do you think?”



Tara laughed as she answered, “that you are avoiding the real question baby.”



Taking a deep breath Willow explained, “well, it was intense. She talked about Angel, about how much she missed and loved him. It turns out that the curse worked but it was too late and she had to kill him anyway. Then he came back better and she’s wanted to tell me but didn’t know how. She really kind of collapsed. I feel bad for her but it was nice to be needed and loved again.” Tara nodded as she continued listening. “Does that make me a terrible person? That I felt ok that she was hurting because she needed me?”



“No love,” Tara answered, “it just makes you human. You tried to comfort her right?”



Willow nodded, “of course I did.”



Although Tara was interested in talking about Buffy and Angel, she really wanted to know how Willow’s talk with Buffy about them went. “Did you talk about anything else?” she led.



Willow began lightly tickling the blonde then softly kissing her neck. She whispered as she kissed: “well, I did mention that I’m completely in love with the most beautiful woman in the world. That her very existence gives me complete joy and I want to spend forever making her happy.”



As she spoke she pressed her lips to Tara’s, enjoying the soft contact. Moving her hands to Tara’s hips, she pressed her body on top of the blonde’s enjoying the feeling of their full lengths coupled together. Tara wound her hands in Willow’s hair, trying to pull the smaller woman closer and closer. She darted her tongue out to taste her lover’s soft lips and felt those lips close around her tongue, pulling it deep into her mouth and sucking the tip. Tara moaned with pleasure at the sensation starting at her mouth and shooting throughout her body.



Pulling away she asked, “w-w-what did she say?”



Willow smirked, “she said that I should…” she leaned over and whispered in Tara’s ear. As the blonde got a look of complete shock on her face Willow laughed, “oh wait a minute, that was the voice in my head, not Buffy who said that.”



Trying to recover from the red completely flushing her face Tara gulped, “I hope that was only in your head or your best friend is a little too accepting.”



Willow laughed as she rolled off Tara to lie next to her, absently trailing her fingers over the blonde’s supine body. “Actually that will probably be Xander’s reaction,” she predicted. As they talked, she slid her fingers inside the buttons to Tara’s pajamas to touch her soft skin. “What about you baby? How was your evening with slayer number two?”



“L-l-like a t-t-train wreck,” Tara answered.



Willow went immediately into worried mode, cupping her lover’s chin in her hand as she asked, “what happened sweetie?” Worried or not, however, he other hand did not stop its sensual transit across the blonde’s skin.



Aware of her lover’s hand still moving with purpose and beginning to unbutton her top, Tara decided to summarize: “well, let’s see. In no p-p-particular order: I met Oz. He sniffed me and s-s-said your scent was all over me and got weird, then left. Actually, maybe he s-s-started out w-w-weird. Faith was very amused all night, k-k-kind of t-t-teasing me.”



“What do you mean teasing baby?”



“Sh-sh-she asked if I s-s-stutter when I scream your name. Then she d-d-did it,” Tara explained quietly.



Softly Willow kissed her lover saying, “I’m sorry she was a jerk sweetie.” Rubbing her hand over Tara’s soft breast and cupping the nipple in her palm she whispered, “I’ve never noticed you stuttering. But it’s the kind of important. We should probably test it, don’t you think?” Rather than waiting for an answer, she lowered her mouth to Tara’s hardening nipple and began tracing the tip of her tongue around the aureole.



“Wh-wh-what about Buffy?” Tara gasped.



Lifting her mouth only slightly from its target, Willow joked, “I don’t want to make love with Buffy. I want to make love with you sweetie.” She immediately lowered her mouth again, wrapping her lips around the nipple and sucking it gently into her mouth.



Winding her fingers in Willow’s hair Tara moaned quietly: “w-w-well if we need to do the test, we c-c-can be quiet.” Murmuring her agreement, Willow quickly shifted to the other nipple, teasing it with the tip of her tongue as she pinched the first, already-wet nipple between her fingers. The redhead flicked her tongue against the Tara’s nipple, feeling it harden under her attention. Scraping her teeth lightly over the surface, she felt the blonde arch her back, thrusting her breast to Willow’s mouth. The smaller woman sucked Tara’s nipple more deeply into her mouth while caressing the other with her hand. As Tara moaned quietly pulling the redhead closer and closer Willow returned to the first nipple, alternating her attention and enjoying Tara’s energetic response.



Absorbed in the feeling of Willow’s mouth on one of her most sensitive regions, Tara nonetheless gathered the wherewithal to begin unbuttoning Willow’s top. She slipped her hands into the opening, pushing the garment from Willow’s shoulders and onto the floor and returning her hands to softly touch her lover’s small breasts. Circling her palms over the aureole, she felt the nipples hardening and grasped them between her fingers alternating soft loving touches with increasingly rough pinching. Unsure at first about this new direction in their touching, she was rewarded as Willow gasped and moaned into her flushed skin.



Lifting her lover’s face from her own breast, Tara raised up to take one of the redhead’s very hard nipples between her teeth, tugging gently before circling the tip of her tongue over the bud. As she lifted up to reach the nipple, Willow slipped the blonde’s top from her shoulders and tossed it to join her own on the floor. Absorbed and excited by the attention being paid to her nipples, Willow ran her hands over Tara’s torso and abdomen, finally snaking it under her lover’s pajama bottom to touch and tease at blonde curls. Separating from her attention to her lover’s nipple only long enough to switch to the other, Tara released a long moan in response to Willow’s hand gliding through her wetness. Reaching the other nipple she pulled it deeply into her mouth, scraping her teeth along the edge repeatedly and feeling Willow shudder from the attention.



As she sucked and bit the redhead’s nipple, Tara lowered her hands to Willow’s pajama bottom waist and began easing the pants from her lover’s slight hips. When they got too low to reach Willow quickly stood shucking off the offending barrier. Leaning over the blonde, Willow next grasped the waist of Tara’s bottoms and pulled them quickly off before lying back down on top of her lover. The two women reveled in the naked union they had missed for the past few days. “I’ve missed you love,” Willow whispered as she ran her hands through Tara’s waiting wetness.



“You too baby,” Tara moaned back, her hands caressing her lover’s back and straying to cup and squeeze the redhead’s ass.



Willow began kissing Tara’s chest and stomach as she whispered: “you know what amazes me?”



“Us?”



“Well yes but,” Willow answered as she began placing kisses liberally but lovingly all over Tara’s skin. “We’ve been together over two months and I don’t think I’ve ever kissed right here.” As she said this, she kissed a spot just on the inside of Tara’s hipbone on the left side. “Or here,” she continued, “or here…”



Once again the intensity of love Willow shared with her was apparent to Tara as she allowed herself to absorb every kiss and touch. The connection was refreshed and increased through each contact and the blonde was enveloped in absolute loving and comfort. Lowering her body along her lover’s Willow began at Tara’s knee: “or here, or here, or here,” she echoed as she slowly worked her way up the inside of both of Tara’s thighs, smelling her excitement as she neared its sweet source.



Tara moaned wrapping her fingers in her lover’s soft hair as she felt the smaller woman speaking into her wet curls. “mmm, I have kissed this spot but maybe I need a reminder.” “What do you think baby?” she teased, nuzzling her mouth and nose into Tara’s center.



“Y-y-yes reminder p-p-please,” the blonde gasped as Willow lowered her mouth to lightly kiss her wet curls. Nuzzling into the soft wetness, she hummed as her tongue darted out to quickly lick one outer lip and then the other. More slowly, she flattened her tongue against the skin, savoring the feel and taste of her lover. Willow reveled in the scent and feel and taste of Tara as she repeatedly ran her tongue along the blonde’s outer lips.



Relaxing into the feel of Willow’s soft mouth on her, Tara felt herself opening to the attention her lover paid her. As Willow gently separated her lips with her fingertips and tentatively darted her tongue into her inner folds, Tara heard a moan escape her own lips. Have to be quiet, Oh Goddess! she though and complied only by using every bit of restraint she could muster. As if completely entranced by her lover’s secrets, Willow slowly explored every millimeter of Tara’s skin with her tongue, licking slowly and softly, absorbing every drop of wetness that she could. Her fingertips lightly brushed over Tara’s clit as her tongue darted inside her opening.



The blonde rocked with the waves of pleasure radiating from her skin where it met and was met by Willow’s mouth. She thrust her center repeatedly to her lover’s waiting tongue and lips to feel that softness on her clit, grasping and sucking and grazing the teeth over the swollen nub. She was grasped by further ecstasy as without having to be asked, Willow slipped two fingers into her waiting wetness while continuing to worship her lover with her mouth.



Willow delighted once again in the soft warm wetness her fingers found. Feeling Tara’s body envelop her brought to mind the word and feeling of ‘home.’ Her smile against Tara’s clit caused further shivers to run through the blonde’s body and Willow continued to move her mouth and tongue against that pleasure center while gently wiggling her fingers within Tara’s depths. Opening her eyes she looked up to see Tara’s beautiful body, head thrown back with her hair spilling onto the pillow, eyes closed and her wrist pressed against her mouth as if restraining a scream.



Tara felt as well as heard Willow’s hum “I love you” on her tender nub, the vibrations and the words causing her pleasure to radiate more strongly from her center outward to every inch of her being. Thrusting her hips forward and biting down hard on her wrist to keep from waking their hosts, she felt an explosion of pleasure rip through her and wrap itself around Willow’s hand and mouth. Pulling her wrist from her mouth she moaned as quietly as she could, “Willooooowwww!” while wave after wave of pleasure wracked her entire body.



Softly kissing, licking, and stroking her lover as her orgasm continued and then retreated, Willow murmured wordlessly into Tara’s wetness. As the blonde relaxed, she slipped her fingers from their wet resting place. “Don’t want to dirty the sheets,” she teased as she slowly licked the wetness from her fingertips.



“Too late,” Tara retorted as she pulled Willow to embrace her and once again merge their lips. As Willow settled onto her, she felt the wetness coating the redhead’s tiny curls and pressing against her stomach. Their kiss deepened and Tara slowly trailed her hand down Willow’s slight body to touch and tease the wet curls, wrapping them around her fingertips. Willow lifted slightly to allow access to her wet center. “No stutter?” the blonde asked as she found her lover’s clit, passing her fingertips lightly over the swollen muscle.



“Noooo,” Willow groaned back.



Pressing her fingers more forcefully into Willow’s clit and darting them to tease at her opening, Tara again whispered, “no? Do you want me to stop baby?”



“Goddesssss, don’t stop Tara!” Willow moaned a little too loudly.



Pressing the fingers of her other hand to Willow’s lips, Tara continued her teasing, “don’t stop? But you said ‘no’ baby. I should respect that don’t you think?” As she spoke, Tara leaned forward, shifting Willow’s weight so the smaller woman was sitting in her lap with her legs wrapped around Tara’s back. The blonde found herself facing her lover’s perfect breasts and bent forward to take one small nipple in her mouth. Remembering Willow’s earlier reaction, she roughly ran her teeth over the surface of the nipple and was rewarded as Willow bit down hard on her neck as if trying to restrain a scream.



Willow attempted to press her center onto her lover’s fingers but those fingers continued their dance over her flesh capturing and releasing every intricate treasure. Wrapping her arms around Tara’s neck Willow began licking and kissing the soft flesh there as she whispered in her ear: “lover, I need you inside me.” As she spoke she lowered one hand to capture Tara’s outstretched fingers, bringing them to her opening. Looking her lover in the eye and seeing absolute love and devotion, she suddenly pressed her center forward, capturing Tara’s fingers within her depths.



Wrapping one arm around Willow’s back, Tara found that she could virtually glide the smaller woman against her hand. As her thumb pressed against her lover’s clit, her two fingers easily glided deep into Willow’s depths. Her own arms wrapped around her lover’s neck and back, Willow began to thrust vigorously against Tara’s fingers, driving them deeper into her wetness. Willow felt amazed by the total enrapture she felt as she took her lover so deeply into her body and soul while Tara reveled in the trust being shared by her chosen. Pressing her mouth to Tara’s ear, the redhead whimpered, “more…” and felt an entirely new sensation as Tara slowly allowed a third finger to join the first two.



Thrusting slowly but deeply into Willow’s body, Tara could hardly believe the trust and openness the redhead was sharing with her. Hearing Willow gasp on the first thrust, Tara stilled her hand as she asked: “are you ok baby?” Biting down on her lip, the smaller woman could only nod her head as she moved her body against the fullness of Tara’s fingers.



Knowing that she could not resist either coming or screaming for much longer, Willow grabbed Tara’s face, pressing her mouth down onto her lips. She felt her scream echoing back into her body as an orgasm ripped through her, crashing against Tara’s fingers and hand and body and soul. Pressing her arm to her mouth, the redhead fell back on the bed as she continued to thrust and gyrate against Tara’s fingers, her inner walls clenching and releasing, clenching and releasing endlessly against the contact.



As she felt the contractions releasing Tara began to slow her movements, brushing lightly against her lover’s clit and slowly pulling from her inner depths. Gently maneuvering her body, she turned to lie against Willow’s spent form, trailing her hand over her sweat covered skin. “I love you Willow,” she murmured into the redhead’s neck, eliciting a favorable, “mmm” response from the collapsed woman.



Enjoying the feel of total relaxation, Tara nonetheless felt the two women sliding quickly toward sleep: “sweetie?”



“mmm hmmm?”



“Don’t you think w-w-we should put on some p-p-pajamas and unlock the d-d-door?” she ventured.



Willow groaned as she agreed, “oh phooey to having to move. But yes love, Buffy will probably come wake us in the morning.” As she spoke she rose to sit on the edge of the bed, pulling on her pajamas as she handed Tara’s to the blonde. Once dressed she looked to the door for a moment and heard the refreshing click of the lock releasing. The two women climbed under the covers, snuggling tight together. Before going to sleep they kissed again, softly and lovingly. Feeling the change in Tara’s breathing to indicate that the blonde had fallen asleep, Willow whispered her new mantra: “I love you Tara Maclay. I’ll do anything to make sure we are together always.”
