Willow:I knew it. I knew it! Well, not knew it in the sense of having the slightest idea, but I knew there was something I didn't know.

[MissQuirky]

Awwwww... Two Wonderful updates! Hadley just gets more adorable every update! Its hard to believe W/T made it through the awards with all the sandwich making they wanted to do. But that will be happenning sooner or later. The awards went very well and they all had a great time, thats what really counts. Can't wait 4 more!



~Ashley~

Willow: We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know... insane.

Tara: I said quirky.

[pikescoob]

Loved the update I'm sure they'll get to the sandwich making soon Good time seemed to be had by all at the awards show Lookin' forward to the next bit.

Hey kittens. Here I was, hacking away quietly until my cell phone rings and it's my best friend, she just broke up with her boyfriend, so I had to cut my writing short. I could've posted a bit up, but I really didn't want to give you another 'cliff hanger', it's not a bad one, it's just...HOT, STEAMY...BOTHERED!! And I didn't want to interrupt that scene. So when I get back from school tomorrow, I will finish the part, and post it! Thank you all for understanding!! Have a great night, mine will be filled with tissues for my friend, and a big tub of ice cream.

“Sleep well baby?” Willow asked, a little more pep in her voice now that she had a dose of morning caffeine.

~Part 19b~

~*~*~*~*~



Returning back to the quiet dark loft, Hadley walked through the door sleepily after waking up in the limo by Tori’s laugh echoing, caused by Dawn’s imitation of one of the models that presented. Brady greeted her by jumping up and licking her, Hadley let out a small giggle followed by a yawn.



“C’mon sweetie, it’s time for you to go to bed.” Tara picked up her little girl, and waited for Hadley to scoop up Brady in her tiny arms before heading to the bedroom.



“Well, Anya and I are turning in. Thanks Willow, for inviting us.” Xander hugged his best friend. “We’ll see you in the morning.”



Willow looked around at the remaining people, “Anybody want a midnight snack?”



“Oh, me!” Buffy jumped up and down. “This slayer needs her food.”



Dawn and Tori went straight for the couch and curled up. “This day felt like it lasted forever.” Dawn rubbed her eyes. “And now I have to get up and wash my face and change my clothes…”



“Oh I can help…” Tori smirked.



“I heard that!” Buffy said from the kitchen.



“Damn slayer hearing.” Dawn mumbled and took Tori by the hand, leading her to the washroom.



“You were great up there Will.” Buffy said getting out the milk from the fridge.



“Thanks.”



“You should’ve seen Tara.” Buffy smirked. “Making her squirm with what you were wearing…that’s just wrong.”



Willow grinned. “I’m guessing it worked.”



“Yeah, like a charm. But you had a few eyebrows raised.”



“Those people are just hungry and…you know.” Willow bit her lip.



“Your girlfriend was one of them.” Buffy stuffed a cookie in her mouth. “You should be ashamed of yourself Miss Rosenberg, what kind of role model are you…”



“Excuse me? Don’t go jumping down my throat Miss Summers, I’m in here having a nice conversation with my best friend, while your kid sister is in the washroom, with Tori, alone, with a lock…”



Buffy’s eyebrows scrunched up, then realization hit her. “I just watched my sister go in…in the bathroom…and I never stopped her…Willow…”



Willow laughed, “Don’t look at me…I’m just enjoying my midnight snack.”



Tara came out from the bedroom after tucking Hadley in, she walked up behind Willow and wrapped her arms around her waist. Her lips fell right behind the sensitive hollow spot of Willow’s ear, inhaling the strawberry scent, she whispered, “I’m heading to bed…”



Willow shivered and looked at Buffy, “I think Tara and I are going to head to bed now.”



Buffy smiled, “Go…I’ll just keep my eye on that washroom door.”



“Why?” Tara asked looking at where Buffy was staring.



“Tori and Dawn are in there…alone…changing…locke…”



“Willow! You are so not helping!” Buffy said in a stern voice.



Tara smirked and walked to the washroom door. “Tori! Dawn! Buffy needs the washroom so hurry up with the make-out session.” She walked back to Willow and grabbed her hand. “There….no more worries…”



Buffy smiled as Dawn and Tori came out blushing, “Thanks Tare.”



“No problem, just have to know where to aim with the kid sisters.” The blonde’s fingers played Willow’s palm.



Willow smiled and stretched. “Man I’m tired…I think I should head to bed now.”



“Yeah, long day. You three get your rest…” Tara grinned. < I can rest Monday. Tonight…is mine. >

~*~*~*~*~



“Night Buffy.” Dawn yelled at her sister then turned back to Tori. “You know, make-up is not your thing.”



Tori looked at Dawn in shock, “What are you trying to say?”



“No, I just meant, I love the way your natural beauty shines through.” Dawn smiled lovingly. “Like a very bright light.”



“Hmmm…I think you’re hinting at a kiss.” Tori grinned.



“No…but now that you mention it.” Dawn pulled Tori close to her.



“Ah ah ah!” Tori pulled back smirking. “I believe your sister said that we had to behave ourselves.”



Dawn pouted, “But we’re little sister’s, we’re suppose to disobey our older ones.”



“Like we did with the principal at school?” Tori asked.



“Exactly!”



“Hmmm…” Tori relax, her head on her pillow, leaving Dawn sitting up, looking at her is mock hurt. “What?”



“You don’t wan…” Dawn was pulled down on top of Tori, kissing her softly.

~*~*~*~*~



Willow opened her bedroom door allowing Tara in first. She managed to shut the door and lock it before Tara pushed her up against the softly and kissed her passionately. Willow moaned half in shock and half in pleasure. Feeling Tara’s tongue slither it’s way through her won mouth, seeking Willow’s.



Hands caressed the black fabric, up and down Willow’s torso, finally resting on her hips. Willow’s hands found the clasp the held Tara’s hair up so neatly, and undid it, letting the golden locks fall over Tara’s shoulders.



Willow breathed hard, it was quickly becoming ragged when she felt Tara bunch the material of her dress in her fists, and slowly started to hike it up. “You know, there’s a…uh…” The dress was now bunched around her waist, and Tara’s hands glided over the soft skin of Willow thighs. “Zipper at the back.”



Tara grinned and managed to pull the dress over her girlfriend’s head. “Don’t need it.” She replied, latching her lips to Willow’s neck, while let her hands roam up and down the warm freckled skin.



Willow groaned and whimpered realizing that she was the one half naked and her lover still had her dress on. “Need yours off…”



Tara slowly pulled back grinning. She unzipped the back of her dress and let it fall to the floor. Her pale skin seemed to have a trace of blush course through it. Standing there in her white cotton undies and bra, Tara licked her dry lips. She watched Willow’s chest rise up and down with each breath she took. She reached for Willows waist and pulled her closer, backing her up towards the bed. Willow sat down when she felt her legs hit the cool material. Her hands wondered up and down Tara’s backside, squeezing the supple flesh when she reached Tara’s rear. Grinning from ear to ear, Willow placed kisses on Tara’s stomach, her tongue tracing her naval and occasionally dipping into the shallow depression. Tara ran her fingers through the red hair, feeling that burning sensation rise up through the bottom of her stomach and down through her loins. Just the image of Willow up on that stage was more then enough to get her aroused, but having Willow kissing her, feeling her, it was better…way way better.



Tara felt Willow guide her to sit on her lap, so Tara sat, wrapping her legs around Willow’s waist, and her arms around her neck. “Long night huh?” Willow whispered, playing with Tara’s hair.



“Too long.” Tara smiled. She leaned in and kissed Willow on the forehead, as her hands touched the clasp of Willow’s bra. Opening it slowly, she smiled coyly before throwing it across the room. “Now, this is where the real party begins.”



Willow whimpered again feeling her centre start to really lubricate itself. She bit her lip and pulled off Tara’s bra. Luckily for her, Tara’s bra did up in the front. Immediately she took her left nipple into her mouth and sucked. Tara gasped and held Willow’s head closer with her hands. Biting the nub gently she trailed kisses across the beautiful chest, and did the same with the other.



Tara could stand it any longer, she was hungry, she was always hungry when she was around Willow, just not in the actual food type. Without realizing it, she had begun to rock her hips back and forth, holding Willow’s head tight against her. Her panties were soaked, and she could imagine Willow curing her, making her release so fast with those fingers, and to have that tongue join those fingers…but she couldn’t. Tonight, it was her turn to make Willow feel loved, feel worshipped. She cupped Willow’s face and kissed her hungrily. Not that gently she pushed Willow her back and covered her body with her own.



“Sandwich?” Willow huskily said. She shuddered when she felt Tara hook her thumbs into her black silk panties, and rip them off her.



“Sandwich.” Tara replied kissing her again moaning into her lover’s mouth when she felt warm liquid smother her thigh.



Willow moaned as well when two strong hands played with her breasts, thumbing her nipples teasingly. Then one of those hands slipped between them, just like she had done the night before. But Tara was hungry to feel Willow she wasn’t about to dally.



Finding the hard nub, Tara put minimal pressure on it, making Willow whimper against her neck. Urging herself on, Tara’s middle and index finger rubbed the outer lips before penetrating her girlfriend. Willow reacted instantly, her fingernails dug into Tara’s back, and her hips lifted off the bed, taking Tara in her all the way.



Tara groaned in Willow’s ear when she felt the warmness envelope her fingers. Desire rising through her, she pushed her own hips down, meeting Willow’s on the way up. She felt muscles tighten around her fingers, the soft taut stomach below hers began to quiver. She pulled her head back watching Willow, who looked back at her panting, and smiled before throwing her head back and letting out a long moan of her lover’s name.



Tara felt Willow release, but she really didn’t have to do much. She doubled her efforts, and sunk her two fingers back in, stilling the movement, but wiggled the tips of her fingers, feeling the rough patch on the upper wall. Her thumb started a teasing flicking movement and watched Willow squirm.



“Tara…please…” Willow pleaded, lifting her hips up trying to start her own rhythm, but no avail. Tara kept her hand still, but her mouth did a journey of it’s own. She kissed Willow’s shoulders, “So yummy,” she murmured, her lips falling down to the cleavage, and then planted a kiss on each nipple, purring while she did so. Down her stomach, kissing each hipbone, then her thighs. She could smell Willow’s excitement, and licked her lips knowing that she would be the first one to drink her passion. “Will…” She whispered.



Willow looked down at her, breathing rapidly, she could no longer find her voice.



“I love you, for forever and a day.” Tara softly whispered before licking her lips again and kissing the soft red copper curls.



“Uh…” Willow shook when she felt Tara’s tongue stroke her for the first time. The warmness, rough texture of Tara’s tongue, continued to stroke her. The fingers that have been inactive inside her, started to move slowly, reaching and searching for that one spot.



Tara grinned when she felt Willow’s legs lift up a bit, so she hooked her arms under Willow’s thighs and held them down. Licking her lips, she made a small ‘mmm’ sound before diving back in. Goose bumps coursed through her body when she her Willow start to grunt and whimper a little louder. She never imagined that having Willow, making love to Willow, would be so damn good. That it would erase everything wrong with the world, and the only existing people would be them.



Willow groaned in frustration when Tara slipped her fingers out and placed her hand on Willow’s stomach, massaging the soft skin. But she let out a small cry when Tara’s tongue slipped past her outer lips and into the sleek warmness of her core. Her hands flew to the sweat-damp scalp of Tara’s blonde hair. Holding her there, shifting her hips up, driving Tara deeper. Tara groaned and pushed harder, licking up all the juices she didn’t want to go to waste. She felt the heels of Willow’s feet dig into her back, it hurt, but it also felt good.



“Tara…” Willow pulled her head harder against her, rubbing herself against Tara.



Tara was vaguely aware of the pain that shot through her head by Willow pulling her hair to hard. Slipped her tongue out, and took the hard nub between her teeth biting down gently, then soothing the bite ‘mark’ with her tongue, letting it flicker across, making Willow twitch even more. She plunged two fingers back in and felt Willow tighten around her immediately.



“Tara!” Willow lift her whole upper body up, sweat trailed down her body, between her breasts, behind her knees, down her thighs, she gulped in a lungful of air before releasing again, and again and again as Tara played with her inner soft spot and clitoris.



Tara started to kiss her way up Willow’s sweat soaked body, her stomach, she felt the muscles spasm below her soft lips, licking the sweat between her breasts. Finally, settling in Willow’s welcomed embrace, she kissed her long, slow, soft, tenderly. Pulling back, she looked into heavy lidded green eyes. “That’s what I call a midnight snack.” She grinned coyly.



“Mmmm…me too.” Willow replied softly, playing with Tara’s hair and stoking the warm sweat sticky back of the blonde. Her hands wondered further and realised that Tara still had one piece of clothing on. “That is so not fair.” She pouted.



“What?” Tara asked innocently.



“You still have clothes on…” Willow smirked and hooked her thumbs into the waistband and with warming, Tara could hear a loud ‘rip’… “Not anymore.” Willow grinned holding up Tara’s white panties in front of her.



“Will…those were my favourite.” Tara said grabbing them and hugging them to her chest.



“They’re my favourite now…” Willow grabbed them and tossed them across the room so they landed on her dresser. “Tara scented panties.”



“Fine, I’m keeping your black silk one.” Tara mumbled into Willow’s neck.



“Fine by me, not like I can wear them again…you ripped them right off of me.” Willow rolled Tara onto her back. “Someone was a little to hungry.”



“What can I say? I needed that sandwich.” Tara pushed her hips up for emphasis.



“Me too.” Willow softly said. “I thought you said you’ve never done this before?”



“I haven’t, I just learned from you.” Tara said honestly, holding Willow closer.



“Yeah, but I never used my…tongue, you and your…tongue…WOW!” Willow said in awe. “And you were so quiet last night.”



“I just wanted to keep things quiet…but believe me, I bite my lip so hard from not trying to scream, I made it bleed.” Tara pouted out her bottom lip to show her girlfriend the red mark.



“My poor baby.” Willow kissed Tara, letting her tonight run across the bottom injured lip. “Better?”



“Much better.” Tara said brushing Willow’s hair out of her eyes. “Are you ok?”



Willow looked at her in confusion, “Yeah, why?”



“No, I mean, when I was, when we were making love, did I hurt you? Are you ok?” The blonde asked tenderly.



“No baby, you never hurt me, and I’ve never felt this good in my entire life.” Willow smiled warmly. “Are you tired?” She asked.



“A bit…but you don’t have to, you know…” Tara blushed.



“But I want too.” Willow pouted. “You got to have a midnight snack, I didn’t.”



Tara pulled Willow down for another kiss, and deepened it, feeling a leg go between hers.

Willow began her journey down the beautiful body of her lovers, kissing each passing freckle, or birth mark, or scar. Finally she could smell Tara’s scent strongly. Her tongue flicked over Tara’s clit just once before licking top to bottom of the outer lips. “Yummy…” She panted looking up at Tara, who had the bedspread in her fists.



Her tongue made the same path Tara’s did. It lingered inside, exploring each warm soft wall. She felt the juices slide down her throat and hummed, making the vibrations shake Tara and made her squirm.



“Oh…uh,” Tara grunted, she demanded more by lift her hips up right off the bed causing the red head to grab her hips and pulled her closer. The vibrations added that extra stimulation, feeling her stomach burn, she curled her toes and almost let go.



Willow stopped her movement inside, taking a deep breath, she went as deep as she could with her tongue and pumped it in and out as fast as she could, as her forefinger and thumb teased the hard nub. She felt Tara’s legs start to shake, and heard her breathing shallow a bit. Willow never wanted to leave this heaven. Being within Tara, tasting her, having her, holding her…this was her home. And she never wanted to leave home again. Her unoccupied hand played with Tara’s breast, feeling the nipple stiffen.



Tara groaned, moaned, grunted quietly as Willow did her magic. She was everywhere within her. With one final push with her hips, Tara froze before letting her body release over and over.



Willow licked up every last drop of her baby’s sweet nectar, savouring the sweet yet salty taste, like fine wine. She crawled up over Tara's body and balanced on bed, taking a nipple into her mouth, sucking and biting as Tara let a smaller release go, before switching to the next breast. “I love you…” Willow finally whispered, feeling their sweaty bodies mesh together as she lay on top. She felt Tara’s arms wrap around her trying to catch her breath still.



“I love you.” Tara whispered back. The night was starting to turn into early morning. “that was some snack.”



“The best ever.” Willow kissed Tara, letting her girlfriend taste herself. “Cold?”



“Nope, I have my very own, custom made Willow blanket.” Tara grinned.



“Yes you do. But I’m cold so let me get the covers.” Willow and Tara scooted up to slip under the covers. “I may never have left with some trophy tonight, but I sure got the grand prize.” Willow set settling on top of the blonde again.



“And I got the sexiest model.” Tara smirked.



“Charlie?…Why I ought a…”



Tara giggled and kissed Willow’s temple. “I meant you nut.”



“All with the insults are we?” Willow asked her lips curling up into the cutest smile Tara’s ever seen.



“Goddess I love you.”



“Yes, me, I am a Goddess aren’t I?” Willow teased. “I love you too Tare.” She softly whispered.



“Shall we get a little bit of rest?”



“I think we should…photo shoot tomorrow, don’t want to look all…”



“Sexy? Beautiful? Gorgeous? Hot?…shall I go on?” Tara cupped Willow’s face and gently pressed her lips to hers. “Goodnight.”



“Goodnight.” Willow kissed her again before resting her head between the crook Tara’s neck and shoulder. Their legs entwined, and fingers laced through each other’s automatically. Their breathing became in sync, and let the night burn into their memories for centuries to come.

~*~*~*~*~*~



I’m off for a while, so please don’t be upset if I don’t have an update for the next couple of days. And my friend says thank you, she’s fine now. Just…you know, her first love. But she’s strong, and I’m sure she’ll bounce back into the playing field in no time. I hope to update by Thursday. Just cross your fingers.

~Part 20a~



“I would like thank the academy…” Hadley stood in front of the hall mirror in the loft’s hallway. She had her tiny robe on and held a bottle of syrup in her hand. Her mind decided to be very actively imaginative that morning. Pretending she was at the Fashion Awards, that she was Willow. “For this lovely…”



“Bottle of sweet goodness?” Willow said leaning up against the wall, watching the small girl make her ‘thank yous’.



Hadley giggled and turned to face the red head. “Do you think I could be a model?”



Willow pulled the ties on her robe tighter and smiled. “I think, Hadley Maria Maclay, that you can be anyone or anything you want to be.”



“Really?” Hadley said turning back to the mirror and fixed her hair. “Like you? I can be like you?”



“Do you really want to be like me?” Willow stood behind her, and fixed her own bed head hair.



“Yeah you’re beautiful and you found true love.” Hadley softly said wrapping her finger in her own curls.



“Well, you could easily be your mama as well. She’s all that and more.”



“I know, I want to be her when I grow up as well, can’t I be both? You said I could be anything I wanted to be.” Hadley bit her bottom lip and played with her own robe.



“And I meant it baby girl.” Willow smiled. “So, how about you and I cook up some yummy breakfast for mama.” She took her Hadley’s hand. “She’s still sleeping like a baby.”



Hadley burst into giggles, “She does drool a bit doesn’t she.”



“Hadley…” Willow teased. “Your mama doesn’t drool, not as much as Buffy…I mean Brady.” She grinned.



“What are we going to make?” Hadley asked hoping up on one stool, resting her chin in her hands.



“Pancakes or French toast…you pick.” Willow grabbed the milk, eggs and waited for Hadley to answer before grabbing the bread.



“Oh French toast madam.” Hadley squealed crawling up on the counter. “Did you know Buffy’s a great cuddler?”



Willow thought for a moment, “Yeah, this one time we went camping on our grade eleven outdoors trip. It was a very chilly night, and we both only brought one sleeping bag, so we decided to cuddle…very warm.”



“Mama’s better though, don’t you agree?”



“Yes…very warm and cuddly and soft…very…Care bear…OH, Tare bear.” Willow smiled. “That’s right, Tare Bear is soft, warm and cuddly.”



“Willow and mama up in a tree, K*I*S*S*I*N*G…” Hadley sang.



“First comes love, then comes marriage then comes baby Willow in a baby carriage.” Buffy sang sitting herself on top of the counter beside Hadley. “That’s how it goes right?” She smirked at the little girl. Then stopped when she saw Willow looking at her.



“Yes.” Hadley giggled. “Tori and Dawn up in a tree…”



“Don’t you even finish that.” Tori grumbled walking towards them. ‘Will, do you have any Tylenol? I have a major headache.”



“Maybe you should get some more sleep and less lip action.” Willow grinned and grabbed the medication tossing it to the not so grinning brunette. “Geez, what side of the bed did you wake up on.”



“The right side to be technical…but, you know, my little ‘red’ friend decided to visit me this fine weekend, and I can’t stand it when I’m not in a good mood, that just makes me crankier.” Tori frowned.



“A grumpy Aunt Tori is nobody’s friend.” Hadley said. “Don’t be mean to Dawn though…” She leaned over to whisper in Tori’s ear, “She probably trains with Buffy so having a Buff sister like Buff…hehe, Buff Buff...”



“I do have slayer hearing…” Buffy smiled at the two Maclay ladies. “And by the way Tor…the top couple of buttons on your top are undone…”



Tori looked down and blushed. “Wow…look at the time, I think Dawn’s calling m…no not Dawn, nature…yeah. Bye.”



“What is this? A family reunion in the kitchen at eight in the morning?” Xander walked out of his room with Anya right behind him.



“Yeah, and why weren’t we invited?” Anya said.



Willow managed to beat up the ingredients in the bowl without spilling or dropping it. “You guys…you weren’t supposed to be up so early.”



“Why is that?” Buffy asked.



“Because Willow and I were making breakfast for mama in bed.” Hadley smiled. “What can I do Willow?” She asked patiently.



“How about you pour the orange juice…carefully.” Willow pulled out three glasses and handed Hadley the juice container.



“Three?”



“Yeah, you me and mama…I set up a blanket on the floor in my room. We can have our own little mini-picnic.” Willow smiled messing up Hadley’s hair playfully. She would’ve made the picnic on the bed, but after last night? They’d never let Hadley sit on musky scented sheets.



“Yeah!” Hadley poured the juice carefully.



“What are we going to eat?” Buffy pouted. “A slayer needs her food remember?” She caught an evil glimpse in Willow’s eyes. “That’s no fair, you got some last night, you ate perfectly well.”



Hadley looked up at the grown-ups in confusion. “Got some what?”



“Um…some, cookies last night. She had cookies, and I didn’t.” Buffy covered up quickly.



“That’s not what you meant, you meant that Willow and Tara had lots of se…” Anya found her mouth being clamped by Willow’s hand once again.



Hadley scrunched up her face and shook her head, not really wanting to understand the adults right now. She saw her mama walk out of the bedroom, coming down the short hallway stairs. “Mama!” She jumped off the counter and flew into her mother’s arms.



“Hey my girl.” Tara picked her up hugging her tightly. “What are you doing up so early?”



Willow frowned when she heard and saw Tara. Her breakfast in ‘bed’ would no longer be a secret. She handed the French toast mix to Buffy and walked over to her lover. “Morning baby.” She laid a soft kiss on the blondes lips.



“Morning.” Tara grinned. “I missed our morning snuggles.”



“You’re Tare Bear.” Hadley blurted out.



Tara looked at her daughter quizzically. “Tare…?”



“Tare Bear…” Willow said smiling. “My Tare Bear, soft, cuddly and warm.”



“Oh…I love it.” Tara grinned and placed another kiss on Willow’s sweet lips.



“Willow…do you really expect me to know how to cook?” Buffy yelled from the kitchen.
