~Part 17~-NC 17
“Red…long time.” Faith grinned. She still looked the same, black leather pants, a burgundy tank top, and a black leather jacket, except her hair was really long, just past her waist long. “How are you?”
“Uh…good.” Willow shook out of her shock and it turned to anger for Buffy. “Where the hell have you been?”
Tara looked at Willow when she heard the sudden hurt meets angry voice.
“Jesus, didn’t realize I needed to tell anyone where I was heading.” Faith said taken aback. “Especially by the girl who ran away herself.”
“Don’t turn this around on me.” Willow said. “Faith, we were worried about you.”
Faith softened a bit when she saw the concern in Willow’s eyes. “I know, and I’m sorry. But Sunnydale didn’t need me anymore right? Buffy had things under control, she was moving on, you were moving on.”
“Willow…you’re Buffy’s friend.” Kira said suddenly.
“Kiki, how do you know Buffy?” Faith narrowed her eyes at her short friend.
“Well…she’s here,” Kira looked around the crowded club, “Somewhere.”
“What?” Faith looked around nervously.
“Can someone please tell me what’s going on?” Tara spoke up, very confused.
“Oh…” Willow smiled apologetically. “Faith, this is my girlfriend Tara.”
“Wow Red…gotta say, good job.” Faith looked Tara up and down.
“Hey, eyes off of my girlfriend.” Willow scowled. “Tara, this is Faith, an old friend from Sunnydale, and well…Buffy’s…”
“Ex.” Faith interrupted. “Secret ex…kind of.” She looked up at Willow. “How is she?”
“She’s fine. Lonely, but fine.” Willow answered honestly. “She doesn’t talk about you as much anymore, after you took off, she kinda took the hint and got over you…only she didn’t. Get over you I mean.” Willow studied her old friends face and noticed the scars that decorated the pale flesh. “What happened?” She asked when she noticed a deep scar on Faiths upper lip.
“Oh that.” Faith touched it. “I was in New York, walking Kira home because she was plastered, and we were pounced on by some gang. I tried to grab one guys knife, but he nicked me just before I sent his ass to the ground.”
“Yeah, that’s how we became friends, she saved my life.” Kira smiled, she was quite a cheery woman.
“A gang? No…” Willow made an ‘arg’ sound for indicating vampires.
Faith laughed lightly, “No…no vampires. Kira knows…” She said, then mentally slapped herself just in case Tara didn’t know.
“It’s ok, I know too.” Tara smiled feeling Faith’s small guilt.
“So, how did you get involved with the sexiest model according to People Weekly.” Faith was curious.
“I moved to Sunnydale a couple of months ago. She was shopping in the market one day, and we met.” Tara said.
“Actually, it was her daughter who introduced us.” Willow smirked.
“Daughter? So you’re a swinger?” Faith grinned wagging her eyebrows up and down.
Tara blushed a little with shyness embarrassment.
“No, it’s a long story Faith, but Tara’s…well she’s mine.” Willow laced their fingers together.
“There’s Buffy.” Kira shrieked pointing in the slayers direction. “I met her earlier, and I knew that I saw her from somewhere. Those pictures you carry around with you, and the small stories you tell about how you two would skip classes to hang-out.”
“Yeah, Red,” Faith looked at the red head and back at the slayer who was walking towards them. “I don’t think I should see B right now.”
“Oh no you don’t, you’re not running again. Faith, you broke my best friends heart, and if she found out that you were here when she was, it’ll only hurt her more. There’s more to the story about you leaving because Sunnydale didn’t need another slayer, and I think you owe Buffy that explanation.” Willow took in a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.
“Another slayer…heart breaking?” Tara asked, more or less to herself, but Faith answered her anyways.
“Yes, I am a slayer, and yes, I took off on Buffy, but I had my reasons. Besides,” Faith stuck her chin up, “I did a lot of good while travelling around the world, you wouldn’t believe the ass kicking I did.”
“Hey guys.” Buffy came up behind her best friend, her eyes registered on the other slayer. “Ok…I need air.” That’s all the blonde slayer said before heading to the door.
“Son of a bitch…” Faith cursed, “Wait, B...” She took off after the blonde.
Tara turned to her girlfriend and smiled. “I take it there’s going to be a lot off picking up the pieces this weekend huh?” Her eyes were filled with love and understanding. She understood that they weren’t going to be heading home anytime soon, and she understood that Willow will have to be there for her best friend. “I’m going to find Anya and Xander.”
“No…” Willow grabbed her hand and pulled her close. “I still want to go home…” Her eyes sparkled. “Faith and Buffy will be talking anyways, eventually Faith will get through to her, and besides…” Willow smiled lovingly. “I want to be with you, be happy.”
Tara played with red locks and grinned. “Ok…but if you’re sure that Buffy won’t need you.”
“Nope, trust me, her and Faith will work things out eventually. Buffy’s been here before, she knows the way.”
“What about Xander and Anya…” Tara looked around.
“I saw them sneak out earlier.” Willow grinned pulling Tara with her towards the door.
Once outside she heard faint shouting coming from the alley and knew it was the to slayers. Buffy noticed the two witches leave the club. “Hey.”
Willow turned around and waved at Buffy.
“Where’re you going?”
“Home…I think you should stay and work things out with Faith.” Willow said truthfully.
Buffy shook her head, “Fine.”
Faith watched as the couple took off down the street, then turned her attention towards Buffy. “Listen B…I’m sorry ok?”
“Sorry…right.” Buffy sat on a step.
“Did Willow get grilled this much when she took off and came back?”
“It didn’t take her two years to come back Faith! When she did, she didn’t hide, she couldn’t hide considering her career now, but still. And yes, I grilled for leaving me, for leaving Sunnydale, but I also couldn’t blame her. She didn’t exactly have the best life.” Buffy folded her arms around her chest.
“Neither did I B. I never had a great life, being a slayer and all, you should know. Besides, didn’t you run away too?”
Buffy looked down guiltily. “Yes, I did. But I didn’t have you yet.” She whispered.
Faith looked at the blonde and stepped closer to her. “I had to leave Buffy.”
“Why?” Buffy stood up. “Because Sunnydale didn’t need another slayer? That is crap. We needed you Faith I needed you. You kicked serious ass out there, you helped us stop apocalypses and you know as well as I and the other’s, we couldn’t do that without you.”
Faith stood silent for a minute and swallowed the ‘frog’ in her throat. < How much pain did I actually cause leaving? >
“Faith, why did you leave? What made you leave?” Buffy asked a bit softly.
The dark haired slayer never answered right away. She looked everywhere but at the blonde.
“Answer me.” Buffy stepped closer.
“You.” Came the small reply.
“Me? What did I do to cause you to run?” A hurtful Buffy asked.
< Damn! I’m supposed to be strong, unemotional girl, and here I am about to cry. > “You fell in love with me.” Tears splayed out of brown eyes. “You cared…and I was scared.”
“So you ran? Faith…”
“You were heading into a new part of your life, you were starting college, you and your sister became close, your mom hardly liked me…”
“That’s not true.” Buffy said.
“It is true…she liked me because you liked me, but other then that, I was just another person conflicting in her daughter’s life. We both know that.” Faith wiped her sweaty hands on her leather pants.
“So that’s why you left? Because you couldn’t face me and tell me what exactly you were feeling? Because we also both know that, that has never been a problem for you before.” Buffy’s voice rose a little.
“It wasn’t that easy!” Faith backed off.
“It wasn’t easy…‘Listen B…there’s something I need to tell you, I can’t be with you any longer because I am standing in the way. So please don’t try and stop me’.” Buffy mocked.
“That’s not fair B. You can’t do that.” Faith shouted back.
“Do what? Faith…what is there not to understand?”
“Because ok?” Faith started to pace. “You loved me, and I…I fell in love with you too. I’ve never loved someone…ever. No one taught me how B. Not while I was growing up, not until I met you. I panicked, you wanted to start your life over again and naturally I guess I took that the wrong way. Like always.” Faith backed out towards the open street, her voice cracked, trying not to break down again. “I left you, because I thought your life would do much better without me screwing it up. And I was just plain scared. Ok? Is that what you wanted to hear? I fell in love with you, but I was so scared that one day you’d come to your senses and leave me…for some other guy like soul boy. No one deserves to be put through that kind of pain…not even someone like me who doesn’t care about too many things. But you Buffy, I cared about…that’s why I had to go.” Faith turned around and stalked back into the club wiping tears away from her eyes.
“Faith I…” Buffy watched as Faith took off back into the club.
~*~*~*~*~*
Willow fumbled for the light switch when they finally got to her bedroom. They tried not to wake up Dawn and Tori, who they know weren’t really sleeping, then they saw a dim light coming from Xander’s bedroom, finally, Tara and Willow peeked their heads in to see Hadley sleeping peacefully. Now, here they were, all alone in Willow’s master bedroom.
Tara bit her bottom lip and took off her jacket, placing it over a chair by Willow’s desk. She watched as Willow went around lighting candles. Quickly Willow ran back to the light switch and flicked it off. Grinning like a child, she made her way towards Tara.
Tara closed her eyes as Willow guided her to lie on her back on the bed. Feeling Willow curl up beside her, Tara relaxed a bit. Silenced followed, then Willow broke it. “Alone…in the dark.” She whispered.
“Technically, we’re not in the dark, candles are lighting up the room.” Tara smirked.
“Smart ass.” Willow lifted herself up on one elbow, her head resting in her hand, while her other one played with the bottom of Tara’s shirt. “Tomorrow’s going to be a busy day.”
“It is.” Tara agreed. She pulled Willow in for a kiss, just a soft one then pulled back. “You taste like strawberries.”
“And you taste and smell like Vanilla.” Willow grinned and let herself be rolled on top of Tara. “Well…this is…nice.”
“Sure is.” Tara tightened her arms around Willow’s waist. Her eyebrows wiggled and she giggled. “If I didn’t know any better, you are nervous.”
Willow smiled shyly and buried her head in Tara’s shoulder giggling. She pulled back and grinned. “I am.” She confessed.
“Why?” Tara played with the soft cotton on Willow’s top.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Willow sat up and stared at Tara. “I have this most gorgeous woman lying on my bed, with me straddling her, who wants me, and don’t get me wrong, because I want her too, it’s just…a gorgeous woman on my bed.” Willow repeated.
Tara laughed and sat up as well. “Déjà vu!” She caressed Willow’s face. “Sweetie, it’s not like your bed hasn’t had gorgeous women on it before, or that you didn’t have your ex here.”
“I haven’t.” Willow whispered quietly.
Tara raised her head on looked at Willow with a flash of surprise. “Jessica never…”
Willow shook her head, “I never really brought her around her that much. When I did see her we were travelling, and when we weren’t, she would stay in the spare room.”
“Weren’t you two serious?” Tara asked.
“Yes…but this is my space Tare, my own little space. One that hasn’t been touched by any other but me.” Willow looked up at the ceiling. “Those people up there…they belong in my space…well, some of them.”
“Then why am I…”
“Because you are my space…you especially Tara. It’s time to stop dancing around each other. I love you, and you love me, you belong here…” Willow tossed her shirt off her body, “and you belong here.” She pointed to her heart.
Tara licked her lips; she let her fingers wonder where Willow’s were then outline the black lace bra. Playing with the straps she whispered, “I belong to you…always.”
Willow placed her hand around Tara’s neck and kissed her deeply. Her tongue met Tara’s as they danced lightly together. Her fingers outlined the collar Tara’s blouse, then down to the top button. Popping it out of the hole, her fingers searched for the next one, and so on. Finally, her hands held Tara’s waist, just concentrating on the kiss that grew more intense.
“Mmmm…” Tara moaned into Willow mouth when her blouse was guided off her and finger nails raked up and down her back, finally stopping at the clasp of her bra.
Willow pulled back panting heavily, her eyes focused on the dark sapphire in front of her. Looking at Tara, her eyes stared at Tara’s full lips, swollen and red from kissing. She tucked a strand of hair behind Tara’s ear. “This is a point of no return.” Willow whispered.
“Then book me a one-way ticket, because I don’t plan to return.” Tara’s husky voice made the wetness of Willow grow slightly.
~*~*~*~*~*~
“Come on Kira, we’re leaving.” Faith grabbed Kira’s arm and tugged her away from the bar.
“But I was picking up that cute bartender.” Kira whined.
“So, we’ll find another one…we have to go.”
Kira stopped the slayer’s actions and noticed the smears of black mascara on Faith’s face. “Hold it…” She wiped away the black runs. “Faith, have you been crying?”
“No. Now let’s go.” Faith walked further ahead and turned around to face her friend. “Are you coming? Because if you’re not, I’m leaving…whether you’re with me or not.”
“I’m coming, just tell me one thing…have you been crying?” Kira walked up to her friend looking concerned.
“Fine, yes ok? Faith cried. Fucking sue me.” Faith harshly said. She noticed Kira took a step back and softened. “Sorry Kiki, it’s just…seeing B again, brought back old feelings.”
“Those feelings were never gone Faith, why do you think we never worked out.” Kira smiled and stepped towards Faith again.
“You’re right. Maybe it’s time I move on.” Faith stuck out her chest and looked around the club.
“We need to talk first.” Buffy said behind her.
“B…let it rest ok?”
“Fine, at least come with me to the washroom to help you fix your make-up?” Buffy smiled for the first time at Faith, she grabbed her hand and dragged her to the girls’ washroom.
Faith sat on the counter and watched Buffy rummage through her purse. “Why are you helping me?”
“Because even though we had a big argument out there, doesn’t mean your beautiful face shouldn’t hidden behind some smeared goo.” Buffy pulled out her black mascara and set it on the counter beside Faith. “And might I add, I’m glad this argument never ended in a face punching fight like usual?” She giggled.
“Couldn’t if I wanted too.” Faith smiled lightly. “I vowed I wouldn’t fight while I was in L.A.”
“That’s good.” The blonde slayer ripped off a piece of paper towel, dampened it and wiped the black marks of off Faith’s cheeks. She caught the dark eyes and allowed herself to smile. Snapping out of it, she looked at Faiths lip. “Where’d you get that?” Buffy asked lightly touching the scar with her finger.
“A gang mess up.” Faith answered.
Buffy’s eyes grew wide with horror. “Fai…”
Faith covered Buffy’s lips with her two fingers and smiled. “No, not me in a gang, in New York I was walking along the streets with Kiki…uh, Kira, her and I just met that night and I was walking her home, then bham! A gang jumped us. This,” She pointed to her lip, “Was a knife.”
“Oh…Faith…” Buffy let her thumb brush across the scar, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s ok. No big…look at me alive and kicking, hell, I’m five by five.” Faith said.
“So you and Kira huh?” Buffy changed the subject.
“Me and Kir…no.” Faith laughed. “I mean yeah, we did go out a couple of times, but she’s just a friend.”
“That’s cool.” Buffy applied the make-up on Faith and gave it one last look. “There you go…good as new.”
“Why aren’t your eyes…you know, leaky?” Faith asked curiously.
“Oh, they were, I redid my make-up before getting you. Sounds Cordelia-ish really.”
“So, um…thanks for you know, the help.” Faith smiled before walking out, but was stopped by a strong hand on hers. “B…I’m ok now.”
“But I’m not…why don’t you come back with me to Willow’s.” Buffy said. “Kira can come too.”
“But Buf…”
“You’re coming, and that’s it.” Buffy dragged her out of the washroom, to Kira, and out of the club, heading to Willow’s.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tara and Willow were on their sides, kissing and caressing. Both of them were in their bras and underwear. Sneaking glances and laughing quietly, like two little schoolgirls discovering a secret for the first time.
Never had Willow thought of getting this far with Tara so soon. A part of her was scared because like any other person in a new relationship, she was scared it would ruin the ‘honeymoon’ feelings, but another part of her knew this was right, and so far, it felt so good. Tara’s hand played with Willow’s bra clasp for about five minutes before deciding that it was now…time. She bit her bottom lip and undid it.
Willow smiled and did the same to Tara’s. She climbed on top of the blonde for what seemed like the hundredth time that day. Her bra slipped off as she shifted, her lips pressed tightly to Tara’s and kissed her like she never kissed her before. It was full of passion, full of love, and full of lust.
Tara moaned and threw the black bra across the room before let her hands wonder up and down the freckled back. Willow’s lips moved to her jaw line down her throat, and settled there to mark her territory. Teeth bit into the sweet skin, and sucked slowly, enjoying the taste, the rhymic pulse beneath her lips. Finally feeling that her mark was just perfect, Willow kissed and nibbled her way up to Tara’s ears. Willow never noticed how her ears stuck out slightly. She found it incredibly sexy, and that moment, Willow found everything about Tara sexy.
Tara squirmed when she felt Willow take the earlobe between her lips. She felt the hot breath blow into her ear. Realizing that Willow was completely topless and on top of her, she cupped those small breasts in her hand and massaged them gently. Feeling the nipples harden in her palm she smiled and let her fingers play with the stiff nubs.
Willow bit down on Tara’s earlobe when she felt her nipples being played with. “Tara…” She moaned softly and let her fingers do their own walking to the straps of Tara’s bra. After throwing that aside, she licked at her lips when she saw the most beautiful breasts staring back at her hungry eyes. With out missing a beat, she buried her head in between the two globes. “I love you.” She whispered kissing the skin her mouth touched first. She felt Tara’s hands leave their post and thread through her red hair. Slowly making her way up, she looked into Tara’s beautiful blues, “Are you sure?” She asked softly.
“This is point of no return remember?” Tara softly whispered back, “And I believe I already booked a one-way ticket.” She gave Willow her lopsided grin. “Come here.” Willow was pulled down, and groaned when the softness of Tara’s breast pushed against her own. “I love you too.”
No more words were needed from then on. Willow slipped off Tara and rested her hands on Tara’s hips; she hooked her thumbs in the waistband, and pulled them down and off, discarding them carelessly. Tara thought she heard Willow purr when her whole naked form was exposed and that made her smile inside. She watched as Willow discarded her own and climbed back on top. Both women moaned softly again and skin met skin everywhere.
Tara cupped Willow’s face gently, “Willow…” She searched the green eyes and found love orb through them and pour it out into her own, “I’ve never done this before…and I’m scared I won’t…”
“Shh…baby, you touch me, and I’m already there.” Willow kissed Tara softly.
“Teach me Will…please teach me.” Tara pleaded in a whisper. “I want to make you feel good.”
Willow smiled tenderly, “I’ll take good care of you.” Kissing Tara, Willow let her leg fall between Tara’s, and when she felt Tara respond instantly, she knew the night was going to be very interesting.
Lifting her hips, Tara let Willow set a soft rocking motion, her tongue probed Willow’s matching the pace of each soft thrust. Willow kissed Tara’s neck and one again, migrated there, while her hand slipped between their bodies, and played with the soft skin as it danced downwards.
Tara gripped Willow’s back, unable to focus to much when every part of Willow was taking over her, held her captive. Their hips rocked gently, and their moist centers touched tenderly, Willow’s mouth was doing good things to her neck, and her hand-moving south was so much better. “Oh goddess…” The blonde inhaled loudly when she felt fingers play with her fine hairs.
Willow smiled and rolled to the side a bit to allow her hand better access, her fingers made contact with Tara’s clitoris, and watched her lover’s face flinch when it did so. Her other hand was wrapped underneath Tara’s neck, somewhat cradling her. She drew her mouth to Tara’s again, and kissed her with passion. Tara gasped when one finger moved past her outer lips, and stroked her gently before entering her. “Ugh.” Tara bit her lip and winced.
Willow pulled back and looked at Tara with concern, “Are you okay?” She asked, her own skin was sleek with sweat, she was having a hard time concentrating when Tara’s wonderful hands moved to her rear and squeezed, kneading the firm cheeks. She stopped the movement of her finger when she didn’t feel Tara respond with her hips.
Tara nodded her head, “Please…don’t stop.” Her voice cracked slightly as small beads of sweat formed on her forehead. Tara took a deep breath, and lifted her hips to envelope the finger inside of her, slowly but surely, she rocked her hips, getting a slow rhythm started.
Willow let her head rest on Tara’s shoulder, she purred with delight when she felt Tara accept her fully. She placed kisses across those shoulders down to where those creamy breasts waited to be feasted on. Her finger pumped in and out gently, not wanted to hurt her Tara in anyway. But she felt a shift change in Tara when her lips connected around the blonde’s right nipple. Her tongue bathed the nipple, and she sucked gently. Hearing Tara groan and lift her hips up higher, she felt the inner muscles start to clench lightly, she moved a little faster, meeting each thrust of Tara’s hips, causing her finger to go deeper.
Willow didn’t want to tease Tara, knowing that she could, she wanted this night to be remembered for an eternity by Tara. Her thumb made contact with Tara’s clit, and rubbed lightly.
“Oh…Will…” Tara breathed hard, her eyes were closed tight and her head was thrown back as her hips moved a little faster taking Willow in as far as she could. Sweat trailed down between her breasts. The heat inside of her body was pouring out, her nails left dark red marks in their wake as they went across the red heads back. Willow switched breasts and devoured that one just the same.
Colours flew and danced behind her eyelids, her bottom lips was practically bleeding from biting down so hard, Tara was aware that her orgasm was waiting for one more thing…complete fulfillment. She felt her internal muscles grasped Willow’s finger that was now pumping in and out of her a litter faster and harder. Her clit being rubbed a little more with firmness, she just couldn’t let go.
Willow let go of her baby’s breast and kissed Tara again, feeling her teeter on the edge, “I love you baby, so much, please…come for me.”
Tara inhaled again and finally let go completely as Willow added another finger and made target with her G-spot. Her arms held Willow so tight; the red head almost forgot to breathe, even though she couldn’t really. She stroked Tara again and again, riding out her orgasm out. Slowly, she withdrew and kissed Tara gently, softly, kissing away her tears, her fears of not pleasing her. Willow cupped Tara’s cheek and watched as the blonde slowly returned from her orgasmic trip.
“Hey.” Willow whispered. “How are you?”
Tara nodded, and smiled. “Good…”
“You were so quiet.” Willow said in awe.
“I love you Willow.” Tara let the tears fall. She finally did it, she finally gave herself completely to the one person she loves more then anything in the world. Here she was with a woman who made love to her, really made love. Nothing was rushed or pushed, it was a decision made by both of them. Willow made sure she didn’t hurt Tara, she gave more then one chance to back out.
Willow held the blonde close, rocked her gently, and whispered tender words in her ear, trying to make Tara comfortable. “I love you too.”
Tara felt extremely tired, but wanted to continue making love but Willow encouraged her to get some rest.
“Rest sweetie.” Willow smiled and pulled the covers over their cooling bodies. “We have the rest of our lives now. You, me, Tori and Hadley.”
Tara smiled and snuggled next to her girlfriend closing her eyes she shivered with delight when she thought about finally having a family to call her own, “A family forever.”
