Aww. Poor Tara being sick.


‘tis the season for colds and flus lol.

Are you foreshadowing?


I wasn’t actually lol. Although that would be funny, I think poor Ira’s been subject to enough!

Can't wait for the next one.


I hope you enjoy!!

Thanks for commenting!

Being sick sucks big time... I guess Maclay-rosenberg household now has two sick-y patients...


Yes they will...how will they cope!? :p

Maybe Ira & Michelle could come to help them and have some make-out time...


You really want those two together, don’t you? :p Their time will come soon, don’t worry!

Thanks for your comment!

Cyteach

Uh oh! It is totally NOT fun to have a household where everyone's sick... believe me, I know! Shall we see someone coming in to take care our two sick heroines????


They’re gonna have to take care of each other and themselves here...with much grumpiness :p

Hope everyone is feeling better soon!


They’ll be back to normal functioning very soon!

Can't wait for more!


I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for commenting!

Aw! Dragging the girls into flu with you! I hope you have someone as sweet--and hot--as Willow to care for you while you're ill.


Lol, I wish! Nah, I live alone so I just wrap myself in a blanket and drink lots of tea!

And I really, really hope that Willow is as good a patient as she was a caregiver. Meep.


Read and see :p

Thanks for your feedback!

love_2003

Great update. Glad to see that Willow is being a good wife and taking care of Tara.


She wouldn’t be anything else :D

I was wondering if Willow was going to get sick; it seemed like she was just asking to be sick by stating that she never gets sick.


She shouldn’t known better really, she pretty much jinxed herself.

Hopefully Willow will be as good a patient as Tara is. Looking forward to reading more.


She’ll certainly be...well, you’ll have to read and see lol

Thanks for commenting!

leonhart17

Aww, what is it they say? Life imitates art? :) I hope you're feeling better!


Am I that transparent? :p Lol, I am feeling better, thank you :)

Nurse Willow is cute! And now that they're both sick (presumably) it's going to be tricky! I hope Tara doesn't feel bad about Willow getting sick!


I think she’ll be too flu-y to worry about it :p

Thanks for commenting!

xlaura1

Poor Tara, you and she must be working pretty closely during the writing process for her catch your germs, lol.


It’s a very close partnership :p It’d have to be for them to let me into their bedroom as a voyeur so often :D

Willow took such good care of Tara, but come on, even she must have know she was just tempting fate when she kept saying she never got sick. It's like saying "what can go wrong?" on the Hellmouth. Silly Willow, now she will get to be the patient too.


Like I said to someone else, she just jinxed herself. Very silly indeed :p

I felt particularly bad for Tara when Willow was remembering Tara's bad stress migraines. Not fun!


Not fun at all. Migraines are the worst.

This was a very sweet update, and again, I hope you feel better soon.


Thank you and I’m starting to feel better so yay!

Thanks for your feedback!

It was either the Tenth Doctor or Arthur Dent who was of the opinion that there is no problem which cannot besolved with a nice fresh hot cup of tea.
It helped that custodian invent the Infinite Improbability Drive; it can help Tara fight the powers that be, wait sorry, wrong show. Fight the flu, that's Tara's bugaboo.


Tea is the solution to everything. I’ve drunk about the equivalent to the Atlantic Ocean in tea over the past few days.

It's not outdated, Willow is takin' it back.


Takin’ it back and takin’ names while she does it!

I can totally picture Willow in the cleavagey slut-bomb nurse's uniform that Jessica Rabbit wore in the Baby Herman cartoon short.


And now I can too. Thank you. :)

A form of biological warfare I can totally support. I'll volunteer to be the test subject who is blanketed in Tara germs to see what the effect of them is.


I’m there with you, dude!

Well, here's a pretty how d'ya do. I can hop on the ol' cosmic treadmill and slip into the WillowTaraverse to make a house call on them to nurse them both back to the pinkish hue and rosy glow of hale and hearty womanhood and by payment we can employ the barter system and they can act out their wedding night concupiscent activities for my eyes only.
Well mine and yours Laragh since it is your story.


And then I’ll of course write it and share it with kittenland!

Thanks for your feedback :D

Promthea128

I am getting so addicted to your brand of WillowTara fluff. So here's some elephants just for you. :pinky :pinky @pinky


Omg, I love elephants! :D :D! And woo, I’m glad this story can addict you :p

Buffy saying Shalom at the wedding made me laugh, as did Will going back into the closet and the snowball fight, Those are the only ones I remember, but there were a bunch.


Glad you enjoyed those moments :)

I had a sappy smile plastered on my face for pretty much the entire wedding scene, and Willow's proposal was "awww."


Lol, nice to be brought back to those chapters, I enjoyed writing them!

Thanks for taking the time to comment!

vampyregurl73

These words are engraved in stone somewhere as being famous last words: ... “Baby, I told you. I never get sick.”


Lol, she just jinxed herself :p

Especially since she has reminiscing about how she doesn't get sick, seems like she's over due for a big ole whopper of one!

Gonna suck to be her, lol.


Yep! Hopefully Tara can make her feel a little better :wink

Thanks for commenting!

Alex_Vixen

Dude! Such a sweet Chapter! Awww.... See? THAT is why is cool to have a gf, then, its not so cool, LOL.

I loved that Chapter!


Aww, glad you liked! Nice to have a girlfriend to take care of you but not when you get them sick too!

Dude, that.... ROBL!!!!!!!! :pinky :pinky :pinky. I LOVED that part!!! LOL Keep up the AWESOME work, dude!!!


Hehe, she was just asking to get sick! Hope you enjoy the continuation!

********

TITLE: Hacker Confidential

AUTHOR: Laragh

CHAPTER RATING: PG-13

DISCLAIMER: Willow, Tara and any other characters from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise belong to Joss Whedon, FOX, ME and a whole host of other entities, none of which are me.

SUMMARY: AU, set in contemporary setting. A lot of W/T fluff and some semblance of a storyline.

SPOILERS: AU fic, so at most minor references or pieces of dialogue

FEEDBACK: Yes please

Chapter 72

********

Previously:

Tara shuffled into the middle of the bed as Willow went to pick up the pile of used tissues on the nightstand to put them in the trash.


“Willow, those are all really germy.”


Willow just shook her head with a smile.


“Baby, I told you. I never get sick.”


And then she sneezed.






“I told you it wasn’t just a sneeze.”


Willow just whimpered in response to her wife's words and clutched at her head. When she’d sneezed the afternoon before, she’d dismissed it as an isolated event and had to admit, didn’t feel wonderful as she was going to sleep, but she wasn’t worried – she never got sick.


Except apparently her immune system was to betray her for the first time as when she’d woken up that morning, she felt like her entire body had been run over by a truck and that every breath was like choking on air.


“Everything hurts,” she whined, puffing a breath out in frustration.


“I know,” Tara replied irately and nasally.


She was too still full of cold and Willow’s constant whining since they’d woken up – both having stayed in bed, though Tara was now reconsidering moving to the sofa – was starting to make her headache even worse.


Willow didn’t notice the annoyed tone, too consumed with the pounding of her own head, the ache all over her face and entire body and the constant nausea just sitting in her stomach.


“How do people stand this?” she asked, turning on her side away from the blonde, “This is awful. I feel like I’m dying.”


Tara just stayed quiet, apart from a short series of sneezes, which made her scowl as her nose throbbed.


Willow reached out to try and grab a tissue to blow her own nose, but found she couldn’t without moving. The mere thoughts of having to move her aching muscles made her wince and she felt herself start to become completely overwhelmed when she felt her nose begin to run on top of that.


“Tara...”


Tara’s features instantly softened at the forlorn tone of her wife’s voice and she felt awful for snapping when she heard the redhead start to sob quietly.


“Oh sweetheart, it’s okay,” she said, quickly turning and gathering the smaller girl in her arms – both of them lying on their sides with Willow’s back to Tara’s front – and slipped her hand under her wife’s pyjama top, lightly patting her stomach in circles, “Look, tummy rubs. Tummy rubs always make you feel better. It’s okay, honey, it’s okay.”


Willow started to quieten at the comforting touch before piping up softly.


“Will you sing to me?”


Tara moved to rest her head on the smaller girl’s shoulder and took a deep breath. She was sure her voice was going to sound horrible since she was completely congested, but Willow had always been so loving and attentive and affectionate to her when she’d been sick and felt awful that so far she’d been nothing but grouchy when the roles were reversed, her own ill feeling no excuse in her opinion. And Willow wanted singing. So singing is what she would get.



Wise men say...
Only fools rush in...
But I can't help...
Falling in love with you...




Tara sang as best she could with her blocked nasal passages, choosing a song that she hoped would work with her gruff voice – Elvis Presley’s 'Can’t Help Falling In Love'.



Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
If I can't help...
Falling in love with you...




She continued to lightly rub her hand over Willow’s stomach as she sang but the redhead was still sobbing so she squeezed their bodies tightly together.



Like a river flows,
Surely to the sea,
Darling so it goes,
Some things are meant to be.




Willow’s sobs started to turn into quiet sniffles and Tara took a deep breath before continuing.



Take my hand,
Take my whole life too,
For I can't help,
Falling in love with you...




Tara felt like she was about to sneeze and sniffed it back so she could continue singing.



Like a river flows surely to the sea,
Darling so it goes,
Some things are meant to be.




Tara cleared her throat as a second sneeze threatened to erupt, effectively stopping it once again.



Take my hand,
Take my whole life too,
For I can't help,
Falling in love with you.




Willow moved to rest her hand over Tara’s, the singing doing its job of comforting her completely.



Take my hand,
Take my whole life too,
For I can't help,
Falling in love with you.
For I can't help...
Falling in love...
With...
You...




She trailed off softly and Willow sniffled.


“That was really cheesy.”


Tara smiled and placed a kiss on her wife’s neck.


“I know.”


Willow just sniffled again.


“You’re voice is still really sexy even when you’re all flu-y.”


Tara squeezed the redhead’s body tightly and kissed the top of her ear.


“Thank you.”


Willow squeezed the hand beneath hers on her stomach.


“Sorry for being the world’s worst patient.”


“It’s okay,” Tara replied in a loving whisper, “‘Cause you’re the world’s best wife.”


Willow gently turned herself in her wife’s arms and looked at her adoringly.


“Kiss, please.”


Tara raised an eyebrow.


“That’s how we got you into this flu mess in the first place.”


“You already got me all germy,” Willow protested, “You’re not gonna give me more flu. And anyway it was worth getting it to get a smooch from you.”


Tara smiled.


“Worth the ‘worst headache you’ve ever had’ and feeling like ‘a car had slammed into you and that a ‘cat was permanently sitting on your face’?”


“Yes,” Willow replied before a small smirk played on her lips, “You know how I like having a pussy on my face.”


Tara blushed and shook her head with a grin.


“Don’t you try to start anything,” she said jokingly, “If I tried to go down on you right now I’d probably choke with my blocked nose and that would just ruin our sex life.”


Willow giggled and Tara smiled down at her.


“You feeling a little better?”


“I still feel like a cave of bats have set up home in my belly,” Willow replied before smiling a grateful smile, “But tummy rubs helped.”


Tara started moving her hand on the redhead’s stomach.


“How about tummy rubs with a kiss?”


“Finally,” Willow murmured playfully as Tara softly covered her lips with her own and gently moved them.


Willow responded softly and was about to push her tongue forwards to deepen the kiss – she may have been feeling like crap, but she was never able to resist smooching time with her wife before she felt a sudden fizzing feeling in the tip of her nose and before she could stop it, had pulled away from the kiss and sneezed.


On Tara.


“Oh baby, I’m so sorry,” Willow said, covering her mouth and reaching for a tissue, “I’m so sorry.”


Tara took the tissue and wiped her face before shaking her head with a small smile at her wife.


“It’s okay,” she said before repeating the words Willow had said to her the day before, “I married you, snots and all.”


Willow went to lean up for another kiss but was stopped as she was suddenly plagued by a coughing fit.


“Hmmpph,” Willow made a noise of disapproval, folding her arms over her chest and pouting, “One thing having the stupid flu make me feel like I’ve been in a car accident, but denying me Tara-smoochies is just not fair. I’m never gonna feel better and you won’t ever kiss me ‘cause you say ‘snots and all’ but-”


Willow cut herself off to take a deep breath, making her pout even more.


“And I can’t even babble properly ‘cause I can’t breathe.”


Tara cupped her wife’s cheek and stroked the skin under her thumb.


“You’re gonna feel better. I feel better today than I did yesterday which means tomorrow you’ll feel better than you do today and I bet by the weekend we’ll both be good as new. Back to full smooching and babbling health.”


“Promise?” Willow asked in a small voice.


“I promise,” Tara answered assuredly before lifting her hand and playful dotting a finger against the redhead’s nose, “And I would never stop kissing you. In sickness and in health, remember?”


Willow gave a small smile.


“We wrote our own vows.”


“Well it was understood,” Tara replied, sticking her tongue out before slipping off the bed, “Think you’d be able to manage some toast?”


“But that means you leaving...” Willow replied, pouting again.


The flu was making her feel particularly needy.


“How about this?” Tara asked, perching on the side of the bed, “I’ll go and quickly make us some toast and some honey and lemon drinks for our throats and then we can snuggle and maybe try and sleep off the rest of this cold?”


Willow contemplated the idea.


“You’ll be really quick?”


“As quick as my ache-y body will move,” Tara replied, holding her hand over her heart in promise, then grabbed the pillow she’d been lying on and thrust it into the redhead’s hands, “You can cuddle that until I’m back.”


Willow smiled as she rested her head on of the pillow.


“Smells like you.”


Tara gave a small laugh and stood up.


“I much prefer this version of sick-you.”


“I’ll try and keep grumpy-Willow to a minimum,” Willow replied seriously, “You’ll have to accept needy-Willow in her place.”


“Oh no, I have to give my wife kisses and cuddles?” Tara asked in mock-exasperation, “I suppose if I have to.”


Willow rolled her eyes playfully.


“This flu clearly isn’t affecting the sarcastic part of your brain.”


Tara just leant down and placed a kiss against the redhead’s temple.


“I’ll be back in less than 10 minutes.”


Willow watched as the blonde left the room and shuffled back down into a lying position, holding the pillow Tara had given her against her front. She closed her eyes and focused on her body for a moment, deciding she did feel a little better than she had when she had first woken up and put it down to the comfort she’d received from her wife.


The thought pleased her even more and she spent the next few minutes just resting until she heard a small clattering and sat up as she saw Tara re-entering the room carrying a small tray with a plate of toast and two mugs.


“Here you go, sweetheart. Careful, the mugs are hot.”


Tara put the tray down on the nightstand and picked up one mug, handing the other to the smaller girl before climbing back into the bed.


“Mmhh, this really soothes your throat,” Willow said as she took a sip of the honey and lemon drink, “Thanks, baby.”


“You’re welcome,” Tara smiled, sipping her own drink.


They both quietly ate some of the toast and finished their drinks before Willow settled back into the bed and turned on her side, reaching behind and pulling Tara to her, indicating she wanted to be spooned. The blonde, of course, complied and rested her hand over her wife’s stomach again, which made Willow sigh happily.


“Mmhh, Tara-snuggles. The only real cure for the common cold.”

Darn. Enjoy it while you can. I'll be rested on Monday.

Great Update. Gives new meaning to "What's mine is yours and what's yours is mine."

I loved Tara singing.

“Worth the ‘worst headache you’ve ever had’ and feeling like ‘a car had slammed into you and that a ‘cat was permanently sitting on your face’?”


“Yes,” Willow replied before a small smirk played on her lips, “You know how I like having a pussy on my face.”

:lol

“And I can’t even babble properly ‘cause I can’t breathe.”

Poor Willow

Can't wait for the next update and the "We're all better" make-up sex. ;)

That was truly adorable. Poor Willow, crying away, I'm glad Tara was able to get her cheered up. It's so hard when you're sick at the same time as your love, but they managed it very well. ;) The singing was sweet, and I loved the joking about how they couldn't fool around.

Awww! Great chapter! You're truly delving into spousal territory--and realistically--when you have Willow sneezing on Tara and then with the... 'not tonight honey, I'm sick/I have a headache/I'm not in the mood. ;-) At least we know it's actually true here!

Still loving this story... sucks that it's Friday and I have to wait until Monday to read more...

Nothing says calming one's soulmate like tummy rubs and crooning like Elvis.
Now whenever i thnk of this song, i'm going to picture Tara singing it to Willow instead of Elvis singing to the Hawaiian girl's mother he was trying to score with in "Blue Hawaii."
Win over the mother and you're in like Flynn with the daugher.
“You’re voice is still really sexy even when you’re all flu-y.”

Tara's voice wouold be sexy even if she had an operation where she had an artificial larynx inserted and could only talk by pushing that bvutton in her throat and the computer voice circa 1979 came out.
cat was permanently sitting on your face?...“You know how I like having a pussy on my face.”

And, without any warning, we veer into Mrs.Slocumb jokes from "Are You Being Served."
“You’ll be really quick?”

The only time in Willow's life she will ask that question of Tara, I hope?"

Great update. Tara singing while sick I would imagine is really sexy also; but poor Tara getting sneezed on, that wasn't fun. Hoping the next update has our girls healthy.

Haha, that was a great update!

I know it's kinda mean, but I agree with Tara's 'I told you so' at the beginning. She really had it coming. Poor Willow.

In sickness and in health, indeed. I think this was a real testament to how much they love each other, that they can get along while they're both sick. And Tara was very sweet and patient while looking after whiny-Willow. Also, the singing...well, even when she's sick, it's Tara, so nuff said.

Can't wait for the next one,

I've decided to leave two or three posting's go before reading. Why you might ask? Well, A) There's guaranteed to be something funny/naughty in at least one of the chapters - that leads to. B) One or more chapters primarily of smut - yay smut! and C) One will be cute - Whinny/Grumpy/Willow & Serenading/Slightly Sarcastic/Cuddle-some Tara.

So, if I wait it's the fanfic equivalent of a REALLY big hot fudge sundae. Overly sweet, slightly decadent, heavy on the indulgence but so yummy none the less. ;)

Lol. That was surprisingly threatening! I’m sure you’ll get dibs today :p

Great Update. Gives new meaning to "What's mine is yours and what's yours is mine."


They just have to share everything! :p

I loved Tara singing.


Who doesn’t? :) She’ll sing again before this finishes!

Can't wait for the next update and the "We're all better" make-up sex.


Do they need make-up sex? They weren’t really fighting lol. Hehe, no sex in this chapter but the next one marks the start of the back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back!

Thanks for your comment!

That was truly adorable. Poor Willow, crying away, I'm glad Tara was able to get her cheered up. It's so hard when you're sick at the same time as your love, but they managed it very well.


Just about :p

There’ll be more singing before this finishes. Glad you liked the chapter :D

Nothing says calming one's soulmate like tummy rubs and crooning like Elvis.
Now whenever i thnk of this song, i'm going to picture Tara singing it to Willow instead of Elvis singing to the Hawaiian girl's mother he was trying to score with in "Blue Hawaii."
Win over the mother and you're in like Flynn with the daugher.


Win over the father and you’ve got yourself a wife!

Tara's voice wouold be sexy even if she had an operation where she had an artificial larynx inserted and could only talk by pushing that bvutton in her throat and the computer voice circa 1979 came out.


Ha. That put the funniest imagery ever in my head. True though :p

And, without any warning, we veer into Mrs.Slocumb jokes from "Are You Being Served."


The joke was just asking to be told!

The only time in Willow's life she will ask that question of Tara, I hope?"


Oh most definitely :p

Thanks for your feedback!

love_2003

Great update. Tara singing while sick I would imagine is really sexy also; but poor Tara getting sneezed on, that wasn't fun. Hoping the next update has our girls healthy.


Healthy healthy, I promise :D Glad you liked the chapter!

Thanks for commenting!

I know it's kinda mean, but I agree with Tara's 'I told you so' at the beginning. She really had it coming. Poor Willow.


She really was asking for it, wasn’t she? Teaches her to be cocky!

In sickness and in health, indeed. I think this was a real testament to how much they love each other, that they can get along while they're both sick. And Tara was very sweet and patient while looking after whiny-Willow. Also, the singing...well, even when she's sick, it's Tara, so nuff said.


They do love each other greatly :) And any permutation of Tara singing is just...wonderful :blush

Can't wait for the next one


I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for your comment!

I've decided to leave two or three posting's go before reading. Why you might ask? Well, A) There's guaranteed to be something funny/naughty in at least one of the chapters - that leads to. B) One or more chapters primarily of smut - yay smut! and C) One will be cute - Whinny/Grumpy/Willow & Serenading/Slightly Sarcastic/Cuddle-some Tara.

So, if I wait it's the fanfic equivalent of a REALLY big hot fudge sundae. Overly sweet, slightly decadent, heavy on the indulgence but so yummy none the less.


Your comment had me lol-ing for a good 10 minutes :D Lots of smut to come (hehe) over the next two weeks of updates!

Thanks for commenting!!

Postby Laragh » Mon Nov 15, 2010 11:00 am

********

TITLE: Hacker Confidential

AUTHOR: Laragh

CHAPTER RATING: PG-13

DISCLAIMER: Willow, Tara and any other characters from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise belong to Joss Whedon, FOX, ME and a whole host of other entities, none of which are me.

SUMMARY: AU, set in contemporary setting. A lot of W/T fluff and some semblance of a storyline.

SPOILERS: AU fic, so at most minor references or pieces of dialogue

FEEDBACK: Yes please

Chapter 73

********


“Hey, Willster. Finally over that cold?”


“Thank god,” Willow replied, spinning around in her chair as Xander stood in the doorway of the ‘robot room’, “Me and the flu do not mesh well together. And me and Tara having it at the same time, that was... it was...unpleasant.”


Willow gave a small shudder and Xander laughed.


“Well we’re glad you’re back. Listen, I just came up to tell ya, we got to go on a little trip tomorrow. How do you feel about undercover work?”


“Under...undercover?” Willow asked in disbelief, “I’m just the computer whiz. I’m not good with detective-y, stealth-y stuff. I’m just really good at cracking servers.”


“Which is why we need you,” Xander replied, spinning the other chair that was in the room around and sitting on it backwards, “You know that work you’ve been compiling for us for that furniture company in Syracuse?”


“Yea,” Willow nodded, “They all seem legit on paper, but some of their figures just don’t add up.”


“Exactly,” Xander sighed, rubbing his temple, “But the company’s drawing up their quarterly reports as we speak, reporting them on Thursday.”


Willow though for a moment and nodded.


“February 1st. Right, start of a new quarter.”


Xander nodded as well.


“Yea. So anyway, we got linked in with the IRS, they have their suspicions as well so they’ve agreed to work with us. Me and Jesse are gonna go in, fronting as IRS operatives. We’re gonna make up a problem with getting the accounts on their computer and call you in as an IT guy. Or gal. Once you have access to their system, you can download all their files for us and hopefully their internal notes will tell us where they’re hiding their cash.”


Willow nervously chewed the skin of her thumb.


“This is like...this is like a real-deal, like, operation. If I spaz up I could ruin everything.”


Xander reached out and put a hand on the redhead’s shoulder.


“You won’t. I believe in you. We all believe in you. You know you’re the only one with the skills to pull this off, Will.”


Willow inhaled slowly before smiling.


“Okay. I’m in.”


“Excellent,” Xander stood and clapped his hands together, “We’re leaving tomorrow, just one night. All you need is clothes; the team’ll bring everything else. Great to have you in on this one, Will.”


He gave a thumbs up as he left the room and Willow laughed after him before spinning back around in her seat, excited about her very first ‘mission’.


***


Willow put her key in the front door and opened it, smiling when she smelled something delicious wafting from the kitchen. Tara had been working a half-day, so she’d had the drive home alone and was looking forward to whatever culinary delights her wife had whipped up.


She walked further towards the kitchen and leant against the doorway, watching the blonde chop and stir things around her, oblivious to her presence and smiled at when she heard her wife start to hum along to the radio playing in the background.


“Smells amazing,” she said eventually and Tara’s head shot up with a smile.


“Hi, honey. How was work?”


Willow’s face faltered slightly and she straightened up.


“I’m leaving you.”


Tara dropped the dish she was holding, causing it to smash into a thousand pieces on the floor and stood rooted to the spot, her mouth hanging open in shock.


“You’re what?!”


Willow suddenly realised what she’d said and rushed over to where the blonde was standing, carefully stepping over the broken plate and pulling her wife into a hug.


“Business trip,” she said quickly, “I have to go on a business trip.”


Tara almost choked on air and wrapped her arms as tightly around the redhead as possible.


“Why the hell did you word it like that?!” she shouted angrily, though didn’t loosen her hold.


“Baby...” Willow choked out, “Can’t...breathe...”


“Deal with it,” Tara replied, refusing to let go as her voice lowered to a whisper, “I think my heart just literally stopped.”


Willow wanted to respond but couldn’t, she was being squeezed so tightly so just held on until Tara let go a few minutes later. Willow could see her hands were shaking.


“I’m really sorry, Tare-bear,” she said, taking her wife’s hands and squeezing them to try and stop the shake, “You know I spaz up my words...and my actions...and just in general sometimes. And I mean, if I was really leaving you, I’d at least have brought you some flowers or something.”


Tara glared at the smaller girl and Willow winced.


“There I go again,” she said with what she hoped was an adorable smile, “I would never, ever leave you.”


Tara continued to glare for a moment before pulling Willow to her again, though not as tight this time and exhaled slowly.


“Don’t do that to me again, okay?” she said, blinking away the tears of shock that had formed in her eyes before pulling away and leaning down to start to gather up the broken pieces of the plate, “So a business trip?”


Willow heard the still-upset-though-she-was-trying-to-hide-it tone of her wife. She lowered herself and took the broken slivers from the blonde’s hand, putting them back on the floor before cupping her cheek.


“How could I ever leave that beautiful face?” she asked softly and stroked the skin under her thumb before lowering her hand again and starting to gather the plate pieces, “I’ll do this. You get back to that delicious dinner.”


Tara smiled that Willow knew exactly how to reassure her and straightened up, returning to the salad she had been preparing.


“So, a business trip?” she asked, her voice much more confident this time, “I didn’t think your job involved business trips.”


“Me either,” Willow replied, throwing the shards in her hands into the trash and grabbing the sweeping brush to gather up the smaller pieces, “Don’t worry, I don’t think it’s gonna be a regular thing, just for this one case we’re working on. I’ll only be gone the one night.”


Tara turned and bent down, checking the lasagne and garlic bread in the over as she spoke.


“When are you leaving?”


“Tomorrow,” Willow replied, somewhat sadly, “Sorry about the late notice. Like I said, not a regular thing. And I’ll only be in Syracuse so if there’s some big emergency I can be back in a couple of hours.”


“I’ll miss you,” Tara responded but gave her wife a reassuring smile, “How’re you feeling about it?”


Willow bit her lip.


“Kinda nervous. It’s like a proper covert operation. What if I mess up?”


Tara wrapped her arm around the redhead’s shoulder and gave it a squeeze.


“Don’t worry, sweetheart. You’re gonna be great.”


***


“Rosenberg-Maclay?”


“Here,” Willow squeaked, “I mean, me. I mean I’m here. Me here.”


The man who’d called her name looked at the rest of his colleagues as if he was asking ‘this is the one who’s gonna crack the case?’ and Willow looked down, shamefaced until Xander put a hand on her shoulder.


“That’s everyone,” he said, addressing the hotel conference room of FBI agents and analysts, “Okay, this is where we’re keeping base, so most of you will be working from me. Myself, Agent McNally and Mrs. Rosenberg-Maclay here are going to be working mostly in the offices of Elmwood Furniture downtown. We all know the plan; me and Jesse have an appointment this afternoon and their computer system is gonna crash for as long as it takes for Willow to retrieve their internal files. Everyone know what they’re doing?”


There was a round of nods and murmurs of agreement and Xander clapped his hands together.


“Great. We get enough dirt for an arrest on this one... well, guys, the steaks are on me. Now let’s get started.”


Everyone in the room went about to their own sections and Xander turned to Willow.


“Don’t be intimidated. They’re all just jealous ‘cause they know you have the skills they can only dream of. Now, here’s your ID badge. Nothing too difficult, we kept your name the same so you won’t forget it and as far as the company’s concerned, you’re an IT tech with the IRS so they shouldn’t ask any questions.”


“Okay,” Willow replied, though she was taking shallow breaths.


“Breathe easy kiddo,” Jesse’s voice was heard as he walked up to them, “Cool as a cucumber, that’s how you work undercover. You know your plan of action?”


Willow nodded.


“Wait for your call. Tell the front desk who I am, log onto their system and look like I’m trying to fix it while I download all their files.”


“Nice and simple,” Xander smiled, “And you should get most of the stuff done today so hopefully we’ll only have to go in for the morning tomorrow to finish off and we can be back in Buffalo in time for our women to bring us dinner. Or the Chinese takeout dude in Jesse’s case.”


Jesse patted Xander on the back playfully, though quite hard and checked his watch.


“We should head out.”


The trio made sure they had everything in order and made their way out to the SUV that Xander and Jesse had driven up to Syracuse in that morning, though Willow had had to take her own car since the backseat of the SUV had been filled with some of the equipment the team were going to need.


Xander and Jesse talked about football as Xander drove down the streets to their destination, both obviously comfortable about what they were about to do but Willow sat in the back, looking about the window and trying to remain calm.


She knew she had nothing to be really worried about – it wasn’t like she was on an undercover drug sting or there was any real threat of things taking a violent turn, but her concerns were more that she’d mess up and disappoint the whole team.


She was known as a bit of a superstar in her department because of her excellent computer skills and she really didn’t want to lose that. It wasn’t an ego thing, although she did enjoy the boost it gave her, it was more about finally getting job satisfaction after she’d spent so long unemployed.


“Right, that’s their HQ over there, that big red building,” Xander said, pulling the redhead from her thoughts, “We’ll call you with the fake call, wait about twenty minutes to make it seem like you're not right outside waiting and then come in. Got it?”


“Got it,” Willow nodded, portraying a lot more confidence than she had, “Good luck.”


“You too,” Jesse smiled from the rear-view mirror, “You won’t need it though, this is all easy as pie. Okay, do we look like stuffy IRS men?”


Willow laughed and moved forwards, tightening Jesse’s tie slightly.


“Very stuffy. I’ll see you in there.”


Xander and Jesse exited the car and Willow pulled her Ipod from her pocket, listening to some music to distract herself until she felt her cell vibrate in her pocket and whipped it out, placing it against her ear. She said nothing as she listened to Xander tell her she was needed urgently at the address they were at, knowing it was all a pretence until her friend hung up again.


She wrapped her earphones around her Ipod and stuck it back in her pocket, then got out of the car. She walked around the block a couple of times before deciding enough time had passed and went into the building she’d seen her colleagues walk into going up to the front desk.


“I was called in. IT problem.”


The woman at the reception frowned for a moment.


“Oh you’re with the IRS men,” she said, adopting a very pleasant smile and Willow figured she’d been told to be extra nice, “Of course. If you just go through those doors right there...”


She nodded at a set of double doors behind her and Willow walked through them into an open office space, seeing Xander and Jesse standing around, pretending to read through a file.


“Are you the IT technician?” Xander asked in a pretend-but-realistic affected voice when he spotted Willow coming towards him and the redhead nodded, “We’ve tried logging into the computerised accounts but there seems to be a problem. Never happened to me before, so I can’t say I know what’s
wrong.”


“I need to apologise profusely for this,” an older, balding man that Willow recognised as the owner of the company from the intel she’d already done on the case spoke up, obviously flustered, “I made sure all our records were available for you today, I don’t know what this glitch is.”


“Probably something simple,” Willow said, trying to keep casual, before amending herself, “Although if it’s a system problem, it might take me all day to fix it. I should really get started. Where does your main server operate from?”


The owner looked blank.


“Do your computers all operate on a linked network?” Willow asked.


“I believe so,” the owner replied, wiping his brow.


“Okay...” Willow responded, trying not to laugh at the man’s sketchiness, “Then I just need access to any computer in here. Could get noisy though, so maybe somewhere away from people working?”


Jesse shot Willow a discreet wink and the company owner gestured with his hand.


“You can use my office at the back here,” he said, walking towards the back of the building, having no reason to believe Willow was anything other than an IT tech and so wasn’t concerned about the sensitive material she would have access to, “Will that work?”


Willow nodded and walked into the office, the door closing behind her. She could see the hustle and bustle of the offices through the large window in the office as she settled behind the desk of the computer and took the flashdrive she’d been hiding in her pocket, attaching it to the usb port and opening a command box.


She typed in what she needed to, ‘telling’ the computer to access the complete network server and to copy all the hidden and unhidden files. It only took her about half an hour to do what she needed, the computer doing the rest by itself in the background.


“Now to look busy,” she muttered to herself, biting her lip as she thought of how do just that.


She hadn’t thought that far ahead, thinking it would’ve taken her longer to gain access to everything she needed to, but a high-class security system was not something Elmwood Furniture Ltd possessed which was quite surprising since Willow knew how much effort had been put into the company hiding their paper trail.


She shrugged and opened up the ‘paint’ application on the computer, amusing herself by drawing hers and Tara’s initials in hearts for a little while before feeling silly for acting so adolescent and closing down the application, deciding she’d have to settle in for an afternoon of solitaire.


Countless games later, a small beeping sound was heard and Willow looked down in surprise to see that the command box was telling her the process had been completed, much sooner than anticipated. She went through the flashdrive and nodded as everything seemed to be in order and decided to use the time she had left to scan the server again, trying to find anything the prompt may have missed.


She grinned to herself as she found a few more carefully hidden files and transferred them to the flashdrive just as the company owner returned into the office. She quickly shut everything down and slipped the usb device into her pocket.


“We’re closing up here,” he said, nervously wringing his hands, “You’re IRS colleagues are coming back tomorrow morning? Did you find out what the glitch was?”


“All fixed now,” Willow replied with an easy smile, “It was just a jam in your network, takes a while to repair, like untwining a ball of yarn, but everything’s working fine now.”


“Excellent,” the man replied, and Willow could tell he was happy that that meant the ‘IRS’ should be out of his hair by the next day.


Yea, how little you know dude.


“So, yea, all fixed now. I’ll, uh, just be going.”


Willow scooted out of the office and scurried out of the building quickly, happy she’d done what she’d had to and gotten whatever information she could. She walked back to the car, spotting Jesse and Xander sitting in the front seat and hopped into the back.


“How’d it go, kiddo?” Jesse asked with a smile, turning his head around.


Willow fished the flashdrive from her pocket and held it between the seats.


“I got everything. And I went through their entire system with a fine tooth comb, there is not one file or trace of a file on that server that isn’t on this little beauty now.”


“You got everything?” Xander asked, turning his head around and smiling, “Really? In just the one day?”


“Everything,” Willow nodded.


Xander and Jesse high-fived each other.


“Great,” Jesse said, as Xander turned the engine on, “Me and Xand will just go in tomorrow morning and pretend to do our audit so we don’t raise any suspicion and we’re golden.”


“Hey, if we get the team working on the information, we could have an arrest warrant by tomorrow morning,” Xander pointed out as he drove, “Otherwise, yea, keep up appearances.”


“Hey guys?” Willow piped up from the backseat, “You don’t need me anymore, right? I mean, you two are doing the field stuff tomorrow and the intelligence guys are gonna be working on the info I got today...”


Jesse chuckled.


“You wanna go home early?”


“Not if you need me,” Willow replied quickly, “Obviously I’m here to do my job.”


“And you’ve done it,” Xander responded, “Pretty damn well I think. We all need to write up reports for the day, but once I get those, you’re free as bird, Willster.”


Willow beamed at the fact that she wouldn’t have to spend the night away from Tara.


“Thanks, Xand. I’ll start my report as soon as we get back to the hotel.”

Great update.

“Hi, honey. How was work?”


Willow’s face faltered slightly and she straightened up.


“I’m leaving you.”

Tara dropped the dish she was holding, causing it to smash into a thousand pieces on the floor and stood rooted to the spot, her mouth hanging open in shock.


Wow. Even though I knew what Willow really meant, I pretty much had the same reaction. Luckily I was laying down and nothing broke.

Nice to see Willow in her work environment. Elmwood Furniture Ltd will never know what hit them. When a red-headed IT person shows up, you might as well confess and hope for a deal.

Now Willow can go home to Tara early and make-up for scaring her.

Can't wait for the next one.

Wow, this chapter was really intense in many ways. First off:

“I’m leaving you.”


My god, I love awkward Willow but this is awkward, even for awkward Willow, taking things to a whole new level of awkwardness here! Poor Tara!

I have to admit I was nervous about the IRS case too, I don't like the idea of poor tiny Willow being around dangerous people. I can't wait to see how Tara reacts when Willow gets home early, *wink*.

PS--I am BEYOND excited that my 5B starts Wednesday. BRING IT! Man...I wish I could take some vacation days.... *wink* and :blush and :wtkiss

Awesome update, yet again!

I love the fact that your putting Willow out into the workplace now.. hope to see more of this and more of Tara on the job! Not that I'm not looking forward to the promised Back-toBacks, mind you ;-)

I think Willow has some MAJOR making up to do with Tara when she gets home! Getting home early will be a good start! Yay for a Wednesday update!!!!

Great update. Glad Willow was able to successfully go undercover. Now she can get back to Tara sooner. I think she needs to do something nice for Tara since she scared her by saying "I'm leaving you."

My God, that Willow really does just say the first thing that comes into her head, doesn't she? I'm with everyone else, I can't believe she said that!

However, the rest of the Willow stuff was awesome. I knew she's kick ass at being undercover-gal.

Definitely looking forward to the next several updates!

Willow put her key in the front door and opened it, smiling when she smelled something delicious wafting from the kitchen

Is it just my lascivious mind that thinks that Tara hasn't gottten started with the cooking yet and it is her essence, the piquant bouquet of Tara which is wafting through the house and which greets Willow's nostrils with a loving embrace?
I know what Willow meant but she, like politicians, should never ad-lib when they have important news to tell someone.
As for Willow's incomparable skill with the computer jiggery-pokery, it is at once frightening and amazing how much of our world we have given over to and entrusted to the care of machines which will obey anyone who knows how to speak their language.

I can't tell you how much I enjoy your fics and I'm especially loving this one, as it looks to go on for a while!

I'm thinking that it must be tough for Willow to live with her foot perpetually planted in her mouth. How could she not know how that was going to sound to Tara? And poor Tara! Never knowing when Willow is serious or just speaking off the top of her head.

I look forward to Tara's surprise when Willow returns home early.

Thanks for making Monday's more bearable!!

I’m glad you took the necessary precautions :D

Nice to see Willow in her work environment. Elmwood Furniture Ltd will never know what hit them. When a red-headed IT person shows up, you might as well confess and hope for a deal.


Elmwood are most certainly going down :P

Now Willow can go home to Tara early and make-up for scaring her.


There’ll definitely me making-upage.

Can't wait for the next one.


Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for commenting!

Wow, this chapter was really intense in many ways.


Intense in a good way I hope!

My god, I love awkward Willow but this is awkward, even for awkward Willow, taking things to a whole new level of awkwardness here! Poor Tara!


So it was awkward? :p Yes, Willow really needs to take a leaf from Tigger’s book and think before she leaps!

I have to admit I was nervous about the IRS case too, I don't like the idea of poor tiny Willow being around dangerous people. I can't wait to see how Tara reacts when Willow gets home early, *wink*.


You might not like the initial reaction...but hey, Tara has to work on instinct sometimes too, right?

PS--I am BEYOND excited that my 5B starts Wednesday. BRING IT! Man...I wish I could take some vacation days.... *wink*


What kind of school/university/general learning facility doesn’t allow vacation time to read lots and lots of smut? Recession Schmosession, some things are more important than work! :D

Thanks for your feedback!

Aww, this was fun! I love how excited Willow got about getting to go on a mission!


She gets to be a big bad FBI agent lol but I think she’s very happy to be back to her robot room and work with her computers too :)

I lol'd at her just bluntly laying it out like that to Tara - silly Willow should know better than that!


She really should. But sometimes your mouth works before your mind does!

I'm curious to see what comes of Willow surprising Tara by coming home early...


Can’t you guess? :p

Thanks for your comment!

Bad Willow for scaring living daylights out of Tara...


It was very silly of her :p

Big yay for Willow the sneaky FBI IT-lady...


You know she loved it :)

I hope Willow very pleasantly surprises her Tara when she comes home early... I truly hope that some yummy naked activities follow...


I can pretty much guarantee that!

That was awesome.

Rofl Willow needs to go home to make up for the heart attack she gave Tara. Painting to look busy was cute.


Lol, sexy times will ensue! Glad you liked the painting lol

Thanks for your comment!

Awesome update, yet again!


:D :blush

I love the fact that your putting Willow out into the workplace now.. hope to see more of this and more of Tara on the job!


Well, I have the remaining storyline of this story etched out, quite a bit involves being out of work, but if I can fit it in anywhere, I will!!

Not that I'm not looking forward to the promised Back-toBacks, mind you


Lol, well I hope you enjoy them!

I think Willow has some MAJOR making up to do with Tara when she gets home! Getting home early will be a good start! Yay for a Wednesday update!!!!


Well I hope you enjoy it!!

Thanks for your feedback!

Glad Willow was able to successfully go undercover.


Definitely a good ego boost for her!

Now she can get back to Tara sooner. I think she needs to do something nice for Tara since she scared her by saying "I'm leaving you."


I think Tara already forgave her lol but there will definitely be some private time for them.

Thanks for commenting!

My God, that Willow really does just say the first thing that comes into her head, doesn't she? I'm with everyone else, I can't believe she said that!


She knew what she meant and just spoke without thinking!

However, the rest of the Willow stuff was awesome. I knew she's kick ass at being undercover-gal.



Sneaky Willow got the job done! :D

Definitely looking forward to the next several updates!


Hope you enjoy!!

Thanks for your comment!

Is it just my lascivious mind that thinks that Tara hasn't gottten started with the cooking yet and it is her essence, the piquant bouquet of Tara which is wafting through the house and which greets Willow's nostrils with a loving embrace?


That thought definitely crossed my mind too :D Willow would have to have a very strong nose though!

I know what Willow meant but she, like politicians, should never ad-lib when they have important news to tell someone.


These things need to be thought out carefully!

As for Willow's incomparable skill with the computer jiggery-pokery, it is at once frightening and amazing how much of our world we have given over to and entrusted to the care of machines which will obey anyone who knows how to speak their language.


The age of intelligence is well and truly upon us.

I can't tell you how much I enjoy your fics and I'm especially loving this one, as it looks to go on for a while!


Aww, yay, glad you’re enjoying it. There’s around 30 chapters left in this one, so still a little while to go :)

I'm thinking that it must be tough for Willow to live with her foot perpetually planted in her mouth. How could she not know how that was going to sound to Tara? And poor Tara! Never knowing when Willow is serious or just speaking off the top of her head.


I think Tara knows most of the time, but was just reacting from pure shock in this instance lol

I look forward to Tara's surprise when Willow returns home early.


I hope you enjoy! :p

Thanks for making Monday's more bearable!!


Thanks for being so kind with your feedback!

And thanks for your comment! :D

Re: New Fic: Hacker Confidential [AU] (11/15/10)

Postby Laragh » Wed Nov 17, 2010 11:00 am

********

TITLE: Hacker Confidential

AUTHOR: Laragh

CHAPTER RATING: NC-17

DISCLAIMER: Willow, Tara and any other characters from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise belong to Joss Whedon, FOX, ME and a whole host of other entities, none of which are me.

SUMMARY: AU, set in contemporary setting. A lot of W/T fluff and some semblance of a storyline.

SPOILERS: AU fic, so at most minor references or pieces of dialogue

FEEDBACK: Yes please

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Okay, so this and the following 4 chapters are all going to be NC-17, so if that’s not your thing, check back Monday November 29th. Although not all of the chapters are pure smut, so you might want to skim for the minor plot, too. Affectionately nicknamed ‘5B’, this has been a long time coming (pun most certainly intended!) and is dedicated in its entirety to Robin aka LonelyTara.

Chapter 74

********

Previously:

Willow beamed at the fact that she wouldn’t have to spend the night away from Tara.


“Thanks, Xand. I’ll start my report as soon as we get back to the hotel.”






“Xand!”


Xander looked up from the file in his hand and smiled as he saw Willow scurrying towards him.


“Okay, here you go, I’s dotted and T’s crossed,” Willow said, handing over a collection of papers to Xander in the hotel conference room and bouncing on the balls of her feet edgily, “Full field report for the day.”


Xander took the papers offered to him and nodded.


“Great. I’ll read over it and make sure everything’s okay, then you can go.”


Willow’s face fell slightly but she recovered quickly and forced a smile but Xander just laughed and slapped her back playfully.


“I’m joking, Willster, you’re like a human pogo stick. Go, get out of here.”


Willow contained a squeal of excitement but her entire face visibly lit up and she was about to thank Xander and run off when Jesse walked up to them, grinning.


“We got hidden accounts, we got secret notes to partners, we got everything! Warrant on the way as we speak. You really got the gold, kiddo.”


“Uh huh,” Willow nodded, her hands fumbling at her sides, “Great. Glad I could help. But, uh, I gotta go, so bye!”


Xander chuckled as he watched Willow pick up the small rucksack she’d brought with her from the side of the room and bound out the door.


“I wish I got that excited about going home,” Jesse remarked with a smile and shake of his head.


“I think she’s more excited about who she’s going home to,” Xander replied, thumbing through the papers in his hands.


Jesse sighed and nodded.


“Must be nice.”


Xander turned his head and raised an eyebrow at his colleague.


“Did I just hear Jesse McNally, bachelor extraordinaire, say he wanted to settle down?”


Jesse scoffed.


“No,” he replied, puffing his chest out in an attempt to regain his bravado, no matter how false he may have felt it might be at that moment, “I just meant Tara’s hot. I wouldn’t mind getting a bit of that.”


“Dude,” Xander replied, smacking the back of Jesse’s head, “A little respect. And never let Willow hear you say that. Besides, I thought you went for brunettes.”


Jesse grinned.


“I do. Like that Alice chick, Willow’s friend from Boston. Now she was a fun night,” he responded before deciding a change in subject was in order, “Hey, I got Sabres’ tickets for Friday night, you wanna go?”


Oblivious to the discussion happening in the room she’d just left, Willow had made her way to her car and had just driven out of the hotel carpark and was going towards the highway. The sun had already set and Willow contemplated calling Tara to let her know she had left early but decided it would be fun to surprise her instead and turned on the radio to listen to for the ride home.


“Eugh,” she groaned when she turned into the highway and saw there was back-to-back traffic, “I wanna be with Tara.”


She dropped her head against the steering wheel in frustration but resigned herself to the long drive home. She was pleasantly surprised when the traffic cleared after only a few miles of tailback and happily sailed the rest of the way on the highway until she arrive outside back in Buffalo and pulled into her driveway, the house in complete darkness.


She made sure to close the front door as quietly as she could as she entered and kicked her shoes off in the foyer before tiptoeing up the stairs and into their bedroom. She smiled as she saw her wife calmly sleeping and walked over to the bed, climbing over Tara and leaning down to kiss her softly, enjoying the soft feel of the blonde’s lips.


That was until she felt a harsh slap against her cheek, the force sending her flying off the bed.


“Jesus Christ, Tara, what the fuck?!” she yelled in shock, holding her cheek as the light on the nightstand was turned on and she saw her wife sitting up in bed and looking at her, confused.


“Willow?”


“No, it’s Santa Clause,” Willow replied harshly, standing up, completely shocked by her wife’s actions, “I didn’t drive three hours in the dark just to come home and get slapped. Stupid me thought I might even a hug.”


“Willow, I...” Tara blinked a few times in quick succession to try and focus her recently-slumbering mind before she realised what she’d done and a hand came up to cover her mouth, “Oh Willow. Willow, I’m so...I’m so sor-”


She cut herself off as a quiet sob rose from her throat and a few tears ran down her cheeks. Willow just absently rubbed her cheek before noticing her wife’s distress and rushed over to her, no amount of anger overriding her concern.


“Don’t cry, baby,” she said, climbing back onto the bed and holding the blonde, “It’s okay, don’t cry.”


Tara turned to face her wife, gulping down her sobs.


“You weren’t supposed to be here...and I felt someone kissing me...and you weren’t supposed to be here...I didn’t know...and I just reacted...I’m so sorry...”


“Hey, it’s fine, no problem,” Willow smiled in reassurance, understanding now why she’d been slapped, “That’s good, baby, it’s good. I’d want you to slap someone else if they tried to kiss you.”


Tara shook her head frantically.


“I’d never hurt you, I’d never hurt-”


Willow grabbed both of her wife’s hands as she realised why Tara was getting quite so upset over this.


“Tara look at me,” she said and released one of the blonde’s hands, moving it up to cup the taller girl’s cheek, “It was an accident. You didn’t hurt me. You could never hurt me. You’re not...you’re not him.”


Tara’s breath was coming in heavy gasps as tears continued to flow down her cheeks. She’d never raised her hand to anyone before, ever and doing so even by accident had shocked and scared her more than she thought possible, a fear she’d had ever since she was little, that she’d somehow turn into her father swiftly rising within her.


It was a fear of hers that she had always been able to alleviate by reminding herself of the kinder things she had in common with her mother and that she was her own person who controlled her actions. But she’d forgotten all that in the moment and so was very thankful that Willow knew her so well and knew just how and what to remind her.


“You’re my beautiful, kind Tara, okay?” Willow continued, gazing into the taller girl’s shimmering blue orbs, “My wonderful wife.”


Tara dropped her head and worked on controlling her breathing for a few moments, calming down considerably in the process. She looked back up into her wife’s concerned eyes and started to feel completely stupid for her reaction and outburst.


“Sorry,” she managed in a whisper, “For slapping you and freaking out.”


I’m sorry I scared you,” Willow replied with a small smile, “I was trying to be all cute and romantic. And I really wanted a kiss.”


Tara leaned forwards and placed a warm and gentle kiss on her wife’s lips.


“There you go,” she said with a small joke in her voice as she tried to let her embarrassment dissipate, “How come you’re home? I wasn’t expecting you ‘til tomorrow night.”


“I got my part of things done today,” Willow explained, knowing she couldn’t go into detail, “Everyone else is still in Syracuse but I asked to come home early since I really would’ve just been sitting around.”


“I told you you’d do great,” Tara replied proudly, “Your first big undercover job.”


Willow smiled shyly.


“Hopefully my last too. I mean, it was kinda fun, but I’m more at home with all my own computers and stuff, you know? And home with you.”


Tara reached out and cupped the redhead’s cheek, but pulled away when Willow winced, still feeling a slight sting.


“Sorry.”


“It’s fine,” Willow dismissed it with a wave of her hand before getting a cheeky grin on her face, “Actually, it hurts. Really, really badly. You might just have to make it up to me and distract me with some...nice feelings?”


Tara grinned and dropped her head into Willow’s neck, kissing the skin there.


“Nice feelings like this?”


Willow gave a murmur of approval.


“That’s a very good start.”


She tilted her neck to the side to give the blonde more room and kicked the blanket down to the end of the bed so she could roll on top of her wife.


“Hey there, sexy,” she said, moving her lips to kiss up the taller girl’s throat, “Wanna have a good time?”


“Yes please,” Tara replied eagerly and breathlessly as their clothed bodies instinctively grinded together.


Willow moved her lips to cover Tara’s and felt two hands tangle in her hair as they began to kiss slowly but passionately. Tara’s ends eventually started to drift down when she felt an overwhelming urge to feel some skin and pulled at the end of her lover’s shirt, whipping it over her head and throwing it on the floor.


Willow too let her hands begin to explore and ran them down the blonde’s sides, towards the waistband of the boxers she was wearing as pyjamas.


Don’t be wearing panties, don’t be wearing panties, don’t be wearing panties, don’t be wearing-


“Ah, yessss,” she hissed when her hand instantly came into contact with hot wetness, “Oh baby...”


Tara dragged her teeth along her bottom lip as her wife’s fingers explored her core and groaned in frustration when she felt Willow remove her hand from her boxers.


“I want you naked,” Willow said in response to the groan and quickly went about divesting the blonde of her clothes, standing up and shaking herself out of her jeans and panties as well so they were both naked and climbing back on top of her lover with a grin, “That’s better.”


Tara moved her hands around the redhead’s body and firmly grabbed her butt cheeks as Willow teased her by just barely brushing their lips together over and over again.


“Willow, please,” she mumbled, trying to capture the smaller girl’s lips fully.


“Please what?” Willow replied, sticking her tongue out and running it along her lover’s bottom lip sensually.


Tara thrust her tongue out of her mouth as well, hitting it against Willow’s for just a second but the redhead just pulled away with a smirk and a shake of her head and the blonde knew what her wife wanted to hear.


“Please fuck me.”


Willow grinned and snaked her hand down the taller girl’s body, swatting her thighs apart and letting her fingers circle the blonde’s entrance. Tara thrust her hips and groaned when she felt two nimble fingers enter her a second later, her hands moving to clutch Willow’s shoulders tightly.


“Slow,” she muttered, her eyes closed, “I want it nice and slow.”


Willow slowly dragged her fingers out and thrust them back in again before dropping her head so her mouth was just above Tara’s ear.


“How about slow...together?”


Tara grinned and opened her eyes, then manoeuvred them onto their sides and shuffled their bodies as close together as possible before letting her own hand slip between them.


Willow could feel her arousal slipping out onto her thighs as she felt her wife teasingly run her fingers along the hairs on her mound and moaned loudly when they finally sank into her wetness.


“Ahhhh...Tara...”


Tara wasted no time in dragging her fingers down and plunging them inside her lover. Willow cried out and dropped her head into the blonde’s neck as they both started thrusting, deeply and slowly inside each other.


“More,” Willow moaned after a few minutes and gasped when she felt three fingers enter her on the next upwards thrust, “Yessss...”


Tara turned her head into Willow’s neck and began sucking on her pulsepoint, feeling a throb against her lips as she did so. Both girls moaned and started to instinctively move their fingers a little faster before Tara used her spare hand to turn the redhead’s cheek towards her and kissed her softly.


“Ugh,” Willow grunted, her eyes fluttering in pleasure as she felt her wife’s fingers start to hit against her sweet spot, “Baby, yes...”


She grabbed onto the back of the taller girl’s neck as their hips thrust towards each other.


“I love you,” Tara breathed as she felt herself close to her breaking point.


“I love y-mmhhh!” Willow crushed their lips together before finishing her sentiment as her orgasm washed over her suddenly.


Tara followed with a series of shudders a moment later and their kiss began to slow gradually as they both came down from their high until their lips were just resting against one another.


“You,” Willow finished in a murmur a moment with a lazy smile, her lips still only millimetres away from Tara’s, “I love you.”


“M’too,” Tara mumbled sleepily before gathering her strength and removing her fingers from her lover to throw her arm around the redhead’s waist and cuddle them as close together as possible, “I’m really glad you came home early.”


Willow followed suit and grabbed the blanket to cover them again before wrapping her arm around the blonde and sighing contentedly.


“How could I not when you’re the one I get to come home to?”

:crash Stupid slow computer. It always takes forever when I need it to be fast. :happy

Great chapter. While I support Tara's motives for the slap, I feel bad that she has so much guilt and fear because of her past. Are we ever going to meet her father so Willow can kick his [butt]?

Looking forward to the Back-to-Back.

Ahhh! Great update, Laragh!

I liked the fact that you delved into some of Tara's past here at the beginning with the slap that launched a thousand feelings.

Super excited for "5B" ;-)
