~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sara sat in her history class but she wasn’t paying any attention to the professor. She only had eyes for one thing; the two women that sat across the room from her. They sat with their desks very close and their hands intertwined between them. They intently listened as the professor spoke of the gods of the ancient Greeks. They looked so perfect just sitting absorbed in the lecture.
Sara watched them in wonder as the light from the window played across their features. ‘They won’t look so good when I’m done with them,’ she thought. Her head cocked to the side as Willow turned and whispered in Tara’s ear. Tara smiled and whispered back. Sara wished she could be close enough to hear what they said. She kept on gazing at the pair with intensity until she realized that everyone was getting up to leave.
She followed them out into the hall and listened to their conversation. She knew both of their schedules well by now. She knew that Tara had one more class that started in ten minutes, and that Willow was done for the day. She decided to go back to her room and make sure her plan was going as scheduled. She watched as Willow leaned forward and kissed her girlfriend before they went their separate ways.
Willow walked toward the room she and Tara shared. Sara followed her that far, but took the stairs to her own room. She had made sure that she had gotten the room directly above Willow and Tara so she could keep track of them. It hadn’t been hard to convince the resident director to give her that room. It had been easy with a little help from her spell book.
Willow sat at her desk and sighed she was almost done with her assignment for her computer science class, but she just didn’t feel like working right now. She was bone tired and her head hurt, plus she was worried her girlfriend was late getting home. Lately she had been getting a sense of dread like something bad was about to happen, but then this was Sunnydale when was something bad not about to happen. This was different though; Willow felt that something big was going to happen and soon.
Tara walked toward the room that she shared with her love. She had felt Willow’s worry and hurried from her last class. Unfortunately she had encountered Sara a usually quiet girl from the history class that she and Willow had together. She wanted to be polite, but she also wanted to get back to her girlfriend. She was in her own world when she heard Sara say her name.
“Tara, are you with me?” Tara shook herself out of her own world and concentrated on the girl in front of her.
“What were you saying I am so sorry,” Tara apologized.
“It’s okay you were thinking about Willow weren’t you,” Sara said. Tara grinned at the mention of her girlfriend. Sara smiled as well and continued on with what she was saying. “I was just saying that Professor Rogers is letting us work in groups of three’s for the final project so I thought Willow, you and I could team up.”
“Oh, sure I’ll have to ask Willow, but I’m sure she will be fine with it,” Tara replied. “Look I really have to get home Willow is expecting me right after class.” With that Tara left a miffed looking Sara behind.
It seemed to Tara that her girlfriend was always anxious these days. She really couldn’t blame her after almost losing her best friend to a hell god. And having her girlfriend brain sucked by the afore mentioned hell god.
She finally got to the door and opened it she frowned as she saw Willow with her head on her desk. She had been finding her like this more and more, dozing at her computer and she was worried that the redhead wasn’t getting enough sleep. They both had been feeling a sense of dread lately, but it seemed to be impacting Willow more. Tara had never seen her girlfriend like this and it frightened her a little.
She made her way over to her sleeping beauty and gently stood her up and directed her toward the bed. Willow muttered incoherently and collapsed onto the bed. Tara giggled when her girlfriend snuggled the pillow that Tara’s head usually rested on.
It was just too cute to resist a quiet giggle, but unfortunately it wasn’t as quiet as she thought because Willow awoke and trained her sleepy eyes on Tara.
“Just what are you giggling at missy,” Willow grumbled sleepily.
“Oh nothing the cuteness of you snuggling up to my pillow,” Tara replied.
“Well I am just gonna have to teach you a lesson about giggling at me,” Willow practically growled when she said this and Tara knew that she was in for a long and entertaining night.
“Just how do you plan on going about that,” Tara grinned ear to ear.
Willow sauntered over to Tara and placed her hands on her girlfriend’s waist. She leaned in and kissed her lightly at first and then with more force. Soon they were fully involved. Willow backed toward the bed and Tara followed. The redhead plopped back onto the soft mattress and Tara leaned over her and placed feather light kisses along Willow’s neck. She quickly shed her shirt and was just about to do the same for Willow when they heard a knock at the door.
Willow cried out in frustration and yelled, “Go away!”
Tara’s eyes widened and she looked at her girlfriend in shock. “Willow, what if it is something important.”
Tara put her shirt back on and walked to the door and opened it.
When Tara opened the door she was surprised to find that it was Sara.
“Oh, hey Tara I was wondering if you asked Willow about the project,” Sara said as she smiled and tried to look past Tara into the room.
Willow got up and came to the door. There was still a look of frustration on her face.
She tightly smiled at Sara and said, “What project? I don’t know about any project.” Sara smiled even wider when Willow addressed her.
“The one for history,” Sara clarified.
“Oh, yes that one I thought we were going to work in pairs on that one,” Willow looked pointedly at Tara.
Sara face flushed and she said, “Well he did say that we could work as a group of three.”
Tara looked from Sara to Willow. She was kind of embarrassed, Willow obviously wanted to work solely with her, but Sara was not getting the picture. Tara knew she would have to settle this now, “Sara could you give us a moment alone?”
Tara took Willow’s arm and led her to the far side of the room. “Will, we can’t we just let her in our group?”
Willow’s eyes widened. “I wanted us to be a group of two, us two and not us three cause that wouldn’t be a group of two.”
Tara couldn’t help but grin at the Willow tongue twister. “Honey she doesn’t have a partner and you see how all the other people in class treat her, just this once please.”
Willow could never refuse the Tara puppy face so she relented. She sighed dramatically and said, “Fine we can be a group of three, but just for the record a group of us is much more fun.”
A feral smile lit up Tara’s face and Willow mirrored it. They went back over to Sara who had been waiting just inside the door. “Ok it looks like we’ll all be working together on this one,” Willow said. Sara grinned at the two witches and said, “Great, we’ll start now then?”
Tara eyes widened and she glanced at Willow who was just as surprised. “Um, actually Tara and I were kind of busy here so can we do it tomorrow?” Willow asked. She so wanted to get back to what she and Tara had been doing before the interruption.
Sara finally got the hint and said, “Well tomorrow then. It’s due in a month so I kinda figured we should get started soon. We have to decide what we are going to do and then the research will take at least a week.”
Willow opened the door and ushered Sara toward it. “Yes, tomorrow is fine we’ll see you then,” Willow waved. “Bye now we’ve got some research of our own to do.”
Sara waved and walked down the hall to the stairs. Willow closed the door and turned to her girlfriend. Tara giggled and said, “Willow why did you tell her that we were doing research?”
“Because silly I was doing research I was just in the middle of collecting Tara data,” Willow grinned and continued. “It is essential to collect this particular type of data interruption free.” She stepped closer to Tara and held her arms out.
Tara gladly stepped into her favorite pair of arms and sighed. Did it get any better than this? This had been her dream ever since she had been young to have someone to love and share all her dreams with. She hadn’t had that until she had met Willow and she never wanted it to end. Willow was truly her soul mate and she would never let that go.
She had had girlfriends before, well two but that still counted as plural. The first one had just wanted a physical relationship and that wasn’t the way that Tara wanted things so it had ended with a broken hearted Tara.
Her second relationship had ended worse than the first she had found Reid a girl from her high school. They had become good friends and then girlfriends. Reid had a keen interest in magick and the talent to use it. Tara had never met another witch besides her mother so she was so happy to finally have someone her own age to relate to.
That relationship had ended though when Tara had found out that Reid was interested in the dark magicks and she had talked Tara into doing a dangerous spell. It had all gone wrong and a demon was summoned by the spell. The demon slashed Reid and threw her across the room.
Lucky for Tara her mother had come in as the demon was coming after her. She did a simple spell and vanquished the demon before it could harm her, but Reid ended up in the hospital. Tara sneaked out of the house every day to visit her. The doctor had to do surgery to repair a tear in Reid’s heart. She had come out of the surgery all right, but a week later she had died. She had been with her when it happened. Tara had been holding Reid’s hand and all the sudden it had gone limp. Reid was gone forever. It was then that Tara had vowed never to use the dark magicks again.
Willow pulled back and noticed the faraway look in Tara’s eyes.
“Yoo hoo Tara where are you sweetie I was hoping to ya know,” Willow waggled her eyebrows. Tara snapped back to the present and looked at her girlfriend.
“Oh, I was hoping to do a lot do a lot of that but I got side tracked,” Tara smiled and waggled her eyebrows, too.
“So let’s get to it,” Willow said as she fiercely kissed Tara. She practically pushed her onto the bed and joined her there. Willow’s red strands fell over Tara’s face as she leaned down and kissed her soundly. Willow’s hand found it’s way under Tara’s shirt and she steadily moved her fingers up and down her love’s torso. She knew that this drove her lover crazy. Tara moaned into Willow’s mouth and reached for the hem of the redhead’s shirt. She pulled it up and Willow pulled it the rest of the way off. Soon there were no more barriers of the clothes variety separating them from each other. Skin traveled along skin and mouths met in hungry anticipation.
Willow trailed kisses down Tara’s stomach and made a stop at her belly button. She kissed her way around it and proceeded downward. She pleasured Tara with her mouth and soon Tara reached climax. Willow lay beside her as she came down from heaven and held her tightly.
There was no way that Willow was going to let something this good slip through her fingers. No, she was going to hold onto Tara at all costs. She still had the nagging feeling in her belly that something bad was about to happen and it involved Tara. No matter what she was going to keep Tara safe. She had almost lost her to Glory and she wasn’t going to take any chances. From now on she wasn’t letting Tara out of her sight.
Sara walked back to her room on the second floor. When she had left Tara and Willow’s room she had walked a little way down the hall and had returned to their door to eavesdrop. She had excellent hearing and the door was thin so she heard everything that had gone on in the room. She had even heard Tara’s muffled scream as she had reached a climax.
‘Yes, someone will be screaming soon but it won’t be out of pleasure,’ she thought as an evil smile spread across her face. She opened the door and sat her books down on the bed. It had been easy to get into the same class with them and it was even easier to get the witches to let her into their group.
She grabbed the spell book that sat at the end of the desk and opened it to the page that she had opened it to every day for the past four years. Now all she had to do was follow through with the rest of the plan and she would have what she wanted more than anything in the world: Tara.
