Great update, Branny!! Loved W/T all snuggly wuggly in the Magic Box after long hours of research. Nice lil Lunch date, too! :) Also Loved Tara and Dawn's chat, very sweet! Dawn's being so helpful! :) I hope Dawn gets her family back together again very soon! Looks like its getting very close to it! :)



So Will had another dream. I wanna know who this "figure" is that was talkin to her in it. All this dream stuff is getting very interesting goin all the way back to when she was in highschool.



Can't wait 4 more!! :)

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.

Excellent as always Branny, this Jen sounds like a swell character i'm sure ;)



It was so sweet of Tara to be supportive of Dawnie while she was trying to help out with the research, and well how great were the snuggles in the magic box :)



Someones playing mind games with Willow, very interesting development their Branny, always looking forward to more of your wonderful fic :)

Lovely of Tara to make sure to commend Dawn for helping out. It wouldn't even occur to Buffy to do so.



More information about Willow's dream - most intriuging.

I loved how Tara let Dawn know how much she appreciates her hard work. Tara is always so thoughtful when it comes to making people feel good.



Lovely lunch date with Willow cuddled up to Tara as they talked.



Ahhh cliffhangers!!! I want to know who the guy is in Willow's dream.

Well, that was certainly a cliffhanger! Hope Tara's all right. Run Willow!



I liked the interaction between Tara and Dawn - they have such a great relationship. And I loved all the W/T sweetness. So glad to see them together and happy.



Looking forward to more. Update soon please! :)

Hello Kittens - just feedback right now...although if anyone has guesses as to who the mystery meanie is - I'd love to know...see if you can do better at guessing than my betas did. LOL



The Rose24: Sorry for the cliffhanger - but I had to break it up.



Celia: I know it was slightly mean...but hey, it was a fun way to guage if you were really liking the story or not... **cowers** Just Kidding. :lol



I'm glad you liked it...I will uphold my punishment and post either late Saturday night or Early on Sunday.



I'm glad the reassurance helped. ;)



Ashley: Glad you loved the snuggly wugglies. No research is complete without snuggles...ok, need a girlfriend don't I. :lol



As for Willow's dream - any guesses? You will find out in the next post, but I'm curious to see what you think...none of my beta's were able to guess, but when they found out who it was, then they well hounded me to write more..but that's beside the point...ok enough Branny-babble. Glad you liked it!!



JennY: :D :lol you wanna know more about the Jenn figure huh...Silly kid - Trix are for Wabbits. Glad you liked the update - more Sat/Sun.



PS - reread the SPECIAL THANKS it explains who Jenn is...



Nath: Glad you liked that Jenn character. ;) She's a pretty good kid when she chooses...oh shit she reads these I think...she's a great kid. LMAO :lol



Tara is always supportive of Dawnie, had to be written in!! Always have to have snuggles - snuggles rule!!



MadeinNZ: Wow, someone who isn't going to lynch me for the cliffhanger - awesome!! LOL just kidding. Glad you liked the W/T goodness, more to come soon - promise.



mollyig: No it wouldn't occur to Buffy to commend her sister for helping out. That is what makes Tara such an amazing person...she's always thinking of others.



Kathy94: Hope you're feeling better. :) I see you have started to harass me in other threads...too funny. I have been attempting to work on writing I swear (often too - ask the guys I work with).



Tara is very thoughtful - I like to write her. I'll ask you what I asked Ashley - who do you think it is??? Come on - try to guess...IM me or email me...



I should be able to post either Saturday night when I get home from an almost totally unpleasant road trip or early Sunday morning so you'll have something to read when you get up.



Scout: Glad you liked the update...I think I saw Willow run past not to long ago...I'll see if I can um, catch her...

A dream is a wish the heart makes.

Willow: "You had two eggs, sunny-side-up. I remember because they were wiggling at me like little boobs."

Tara: "Sassy Eggs."

Mending Fences



Part 8





Tara glanced at the clock for what she thought was the hundredth time. Time appeared to be going backwards. She wasn’t sure she could take much more of this waiting. She wanted to be with Willow, to make sure Willow was okay.



Tara began to doodle in her notebook as her mind drifted. She sat there thinking about her conversation with Anya, her night researching with the Scooby’s and waking up holding Willow. She had forgotten how wonderful it felt to wake up next to her, when things were going so right. Tara glanced down at her paper and found she had drawn a picture of Willow with little hearts around her. Tara smiled. Even her subconscious knew how much she loved the little red head.



Class ended and Tara packed her things up and headed for the door. Walking out of class she was greeted by a frantic Willow.



“Tara, are you alright?” said Willow gasping for air. She had run all the way across campus to find her.



“Yeah, honey I’m fine – what’s wrong?” asked Tara very concerned. She pulled Willow out of the traffic of the students walking between classes. She could see the fear in Willow’s eyes. She knew something had to be terribly wrong.



“We, we have to get out of here. I need to find the others,” said Willow as her breathing began to calm a bit.



“Willow, what’s going on? What’s wrong?”



“I fell asleep in class and had another dream, only this time it was worse. I can’t explain it here, we have to get going.”



“Ok sweetie,” Tara said grabbing Willow’s hand and heading off to gather the rest of the Scooby gang. They stopped at Xander’s construction site to get him. Luckily it was clouding up outside and his boss was in the process of letting them leave early. They swung by Buffy’s house and got her and left a note for Dawn to come to the Magic Box when she got home. As the gang walked into the Magic Box, Anya could tell this was serious. She saw the look in Tara’s eyes…she knew the blonde well enough to read her face.



“We thank you all for your patronage,” said Anya as she helped the last of the customers out of the door and put the closed sign up.



“Thanks Anya,” said Tara.



Everyone gathered around the table. Tara grabbed Willow’s hand to offer her the silent support she was desperately in need of. Willow told them all about her dream from class. Everyone sat there with their mouths open – not knowing what to say.



“Um, Willow, do you think you could recognize the voice if you heard it again?” Buffy finally asked.



“Yeah, I don’t think I could forget it,” she said in a shaky voice. Tara slid closer and wrapped her arm around Willow, pulling her closer.



“Can you describe it?” asked Xander.



“Well it was definitely male, English, he knew about Tara so it has to be someone who has been around recently,” said Willow.



“Well how many people do we know that are evil with English accents?” said Buffy.



“I don’t know…it was familiar, but I can’t place why,” said Willow. “I mean Giles and Spike are the only two I know that have English accents and it wasn’t either of them – I know that for certain.”



“Ok, let’s think…” said Buffy. Everyone sat there in silence, running through the years they’d spent together, the people they’d known.



The phone rang. Buffy answered it to find Giles on the other end. Buffy moved into the back room and filled Giles in on Willow’s new dream and the stuff they had found overnight. When Buffy returned she had a glazed look on her face.



“Buffster, what’s with the whole glazed, white look?” Xander asked.



“Buffy,” said Willow in a very concerned tone. Buffy walked to her seat and sat down. She just stared into space for a few moments.



“Buffy, please you’re scaring us,” Tara said breaking the silence and bringing Buffy out of her dead stare.



“Sorry, that…um…was Giles. He hasn’t found anything new, but I told him about your new dream and how you described the person that you saw and heard. He…um…told me who he believes it is – and you know, I think he’s right.”



“Ok, so who is it – The Master, The Mayor, Mr. Trick?” asked Xander naming some of the foes they had fought before.



“Um, nope…worse,” said Buffy as all eyes were now fixated on her.



Willow took a deep breath and thought “What could be worse than The Master or The Mayor or even Mr. Trick…they were all pretty evil.”



“Ethan…” Buffy said before getting up and walking into the back room again. Everyone sat there in silence – nobody was able to move. The shock was overwhelming.



**********



Dawn came bounding home from school. She was in a great mood. Her family was coming together again. She walked in and saw the note on the counter to come immediately to the Magic Box. Dawn wasn’t sure what to make of it – probably just Buffy over reacting, but she decided to head there anyway. Nothing worse than a pissed off Slayer.



Dawn put her stuff up in her room and made her way to the Magic Box. She got there and saw the ‘Closed’ sign. “That’s funny, Anya closed the store in the daytime – that can’t be good,” Dawn thought to herself.



Dawn let herself in only to find everyone sitting there in dead silence and Buffy was nowhere to be seen.



“Hello,” said the teen. Her voice brought Tara and Anya out of their trance.



“Oh hey Dawnie, how are you doing?” asked Tara.



“So what’s with the somber faces? What’s wrong?”



“I-its n-nothing really,” said Tara knowing her stutter was giving her away.



“Where’s Buffy?” Dawn was now concerned and thinking that something had happened to Buffy.



“She’s in the back room…Willow had another dream and Giles figured out who is behind them,” said Anya as Willow and Xander snapped out of their trances.



Buffy came out of the back room to see Dawn standing there looking very concerned. She walked over and gave her sister a quick hug. Everyone gathered around the table to figure out what they were going to do next.



“Buffy, what does Ethan want from me?” asked Willow.



“I thought Riley and the whole Initiative had him locked away somewhere in Nevada. Isn’t that where he said they were taking him after he turned Giles into that demon?” Xander asked.



“Yeah, the Nevada desert. Riley said they would rehabilitate him, but we all know that Ethan is slime and he probably oozed out of wherever they held him. Either that or when they disbanded he was set free. When I catch him, I’m going to beat him bloody and then I’ll ask him,” said the Slayer.



“Are you allowed to hurt a human?” asked Tara.



“Well, I was told it isn’t recommended, but in Ethan’s case he isn’t really human – he just somehow got categorized that way.”



“Ah,” said Tara as she turned towards Willow. “Baby, you ok?”



“Oh, um, yeah, just a little freaked out by everything. Nothing to worry yourself about. I need to go for a walk, I’ll be back in a bit,” said Willow as she got up to leave.



“Will, honey, I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to go out alone…not with this Ethan person around. I’ll go with you,” said Tara.



“No, I need to think and no offense, if you’re with me – I’m not going to be able to think.”



“I’ll go with her Tara,” said Xander getting up and heading towards his best friend. “Willow learned a long time ago how to walk with me and not know I’m there,” he added trying to lighten the mood.



“Thanks Xander,” Tara said with a small smile.



As Xander and Willow left, the rest of the gang prepared for another night of research, but at least tonight they felt they had a direction to go in.



“Tara, can I talk to you for a second?” asked Buffy sounding very serious.



“Yeah Buffy, what’s up?”



“Tara, I’m worried about you – I know that you and Willow are trying to take things slow and I’m all for that, but I want you to move back into the house. We’ll find a way – you can have my room, I’ll sleep downstairs on the couch.”



“Buffy, I appreciate the offer, but you don’t have to give up your room. I would like to move back so that I can keep an eye on Willow, though. I only remember that one time when Ethan was around, but from everyone’s reaction I know this can’t be good.” Tara said as she took the Slayer’s hand and squeezed it gently.



“So, do you need help getting your stuff?” asked Buffy.



“Well, I’ll go and pack some stuff and come over to the house – we’ll see how the next few days go and decide what we do from there. Sound fair?”



“Sounds good,” said Buffy feeling contented knowing that everyone that she was going to need to protect was under one roof. They rejoined Anya and Dawn and did a little research and then Tara headed to her dorm to get some stuff for her stay.



Willow and Xander walked around Sunnydale in silence. Xander knew this was a lot for the red head to deal with. He also knew that there was nothing he could do to help her – nothing other than just being there and he was good at that. As the sun started to set, Xander walked Willow home and then headed back to the Magic Box to see if there was anything he could do there.

Even Tara's doodles are Willow, and with hearts too. How cute is that? And Ethan Rayne. Hmm. It would have taken me like eight guesses to come up with that one ;) You hid it well.

“Well, I was told it isn’t recommended, but in Ethan’s case he isn’t really human – he just somehow got categorized that way.”


Can't you add it a few exceptions to the Slayer Handbook for this? After all, it's your AU.



Great update. I wait with baited breath for more.

Ethan the slime ball, trying to interfere with our girls lives. Though on a pleasent note, Tara's moving back in, just to keep an on on Willow i'm sure, sweet innocent Tara would only be showing concern for her girlfriend, i mean its not like she doesn't desperately want to be with her all the time, in a err... strickly dressed sense of course ;)

Ok, sorry just feedback in this posting. I am planning on posting Part 9 tonight when I get home...if not early tomorrow morning (most likely tonight though)



I know :evil of me...and remember my new catch phrase: I'm not an evil person, I just play one in real life... (yes, I'm very easily amused)



Kathy94: You aren't annoying - harassment means you care - or at least like the story. I'll take it!! ;)



MissQuirky: Glad you liked the update!! No, Ethan doesn't want Willow for hugs and puppies...sorry. Good question - where should I have Tara sleep...hmmm :evil ;)



The Rose24: Buffy has her moments...and yeah W/T need to go slow though - rushing could cause issues...but I like the together so like the idea of them in the same house at least. tee hee.



MadeinNZ: Ethank and wacky hijinks do tend to go together way to well. We'll have to see what he's up to...



Celia: Love doodles are cute - if you can draw or doodle...I don't get that lucky...feel honored I can draw a line. LOL.



I might be able to make that adjustment in the Slayer Handbook for him -- just for you and only you. ;)



Waiting on baited breath...um, er, um - no pressure huh?! Sheesh. :lol



Nath: You are too funny my friend. Yeah Ethan is a slime ball that deserves to have something unpleasant happen (and I may have that happen yet...). Everyone seems pleased that Tara is moving back in...hope Willow is. You think she may have a problem with it?



mollig: You broke my thread...LOL just kidding. I don't know what he wants with Willow yet -- but we know it won't be pleasant.



Edited because I can't read or spell...

Mending Fences



Part 9



Willow was standing in her room gazing out the window to the stars when Tara came up the stairs. Tara stood in the hallway watching the red head – standing there in green hip hugger shorts and a black silk v-neck camisole. She could feel her heart beginning to race as she stared at the beauty before her. Tara softly walked into the room and closed the door, hoping not to disturb Willow. As she closed the space between them and ever so gently she raised her hands to the shoulders of the red head. Willow leaned into the touch as Tara moved closer so that her body was pressed up against the back of Willow. She wrapped her arms around Willow’s waist and pulled her in close. Softly Tara began to place kisses on the top of Willow’s head and slowly moving down the side towards her left ear. Softly she kissed the top of Willows ear. Willow lets out a contented sigh.



“Hi sexy,” whispered Tara as she started to softly nibble on Willow’s ear.



“Mmm, hi,” was all Willow could manage to get out.



Tara nipped at Willow’s earlobe before continuing her decent downward to Willow’s neck. Slowly she nipped and kissed her way down and then, back up her neck. Willow let out a soft moan of enjoyment. Tara’s arms were still around Willow’s waist and she felt them tighten a bit. Tara continued to kiss and nip at every part of Willow’s neck she could get her lips on. She made another downward pass this time stopping to spend a little extra time at the base of Willow’s neck. This was a spot she knew drove Willow nuts. Lingering there she could feel Willow’s pulse beginning to race. Tara slowly started a trail back up Willow’s neck moving along the outside of her spine, then back down her spine. Again she heard a moan of enjoyment from Willow. Tara slowly slipped a hand under Willow’s camisole, feeling her hand on Willow’s stomach – her taut muscles.



“Just enjoy baby,” whispered Tara. She stopped Willow who was trying to turn around to face the blonde whose actions were driving her crazy.



Tara returned to kissing and nipping her way up and down Willow’s neck – stopping again at the one tender spot on the base of her neck.



“Tara,” said Willow barely audible and almost breathless.



Tara made her way up to Willow’s right ear and began to nibble on it. As she did she slowly moved her hand out from under Willow’s top and ran her hands along Willow’s arm. Moving her right hand up to Willow’s shoulder, her lips met her hand on Willow’s right shoulder. She placed light, penetrating kisses along her shoulder from her neck outward. Tara used her hand to gently move the strap of the camisole off Willow’s shoulder and have it dangle onto Willow’s upper arm.



“I’ve missed you so much. I plan on kissing every inch of your body,” Tara said into Willow’s shoulder as she felt the red head shiver with anticipation.



“Promise?”



“Nope, guarantee,” Tara said as she nipped at Willow’s shoulder and began her trek towards her neck. Willow’s breath caught and she could feel her passion and desire for the blonde grow. Tara moved to the left side of Willow’s shoulder and repeated the penetrating kisses, allowing the camisoles strap to again dangle down onto Willow’s arm. This time there was nothing holding the camisole up and it began to slide down Willow’s petite body. Tara knew this and grinned into Willow’s shoulder as Willow leaned her head back hoping to get a glimpse of the blonde. She could feel Tara’s body pressing against her own. She wanted to touch her – hold her, but mostly she needed to kiss her.



“I need your lips here,” panted out Willow as she brought her finger to her lips.



Tara leaned over Willow a bit to place her lips onto the red heads. Willow deepened the kiss, each woman eliciting a soft moan. Tara used the opportunity to grab the camisole that Willow had been wearing and slowly start to move it upwards. As she broke the kiss, she pulled the camisole over Willow’s head, thus revealing her petite naked torso.



Tara went back to kissing Willow’s body. She was making her way across and down Willow’s back. She was paying special attention to all of the trigger points, nerve spots, and the pulse points. Tara trailed her lips gently along Willow’s shoulder blades, which made Willow shiver slightly. Tara kissed a direct line down Willow’s spine, then ran her tongue slowly back up. She tasted the salt in the sweat that was forming on the red head’s body. Willow began leaning into the kisses, needing to feel more of the blonde on her body. Tara knelt behind Willow and began to kiss the small of Willow’s back. Willow twitched a bit. Being ticklish was not always a blessing in romantic settings.



Tara smiled as she stood up and moved around in front of Willow, stopping to gaze at the beauty before her. Leaning forward she captured the red heads lips again. The kiss was one of longing. Tara deepened the kiss wanting and needing to show Willow how much she loved her. Both girls let out a throaty groan. Tara’s hands slid up the sides of Willow’s body. Willow’s hands were wrapped tightly around the blonde’s waist so she couldn’t move. Willow wasn’t going to let her get any farther away from her than absolutely necessary.



Tara broke the kiss and trailed kisses along Willow’s jaw line and then down her neck. She began repeating the nips and kisses she had played on Willow’s back. Willow released her grip on the blonde’s waist. As she did, Tara used the space to allow her hands to make their way up Willow’s body and softly cup the red heads breasts. Willow gasped, the touch shooting a surge of electricity to every one of Willow’s nerves. Tara’s thumbs brushed against Willow’s erect nipples, eliciting a throaty moan from her. Tara continued to tease Willow’s breasts as she slowly made her way down Willow’s breastbone, making sure to cover the full chest area. She could feel Willow’s heart pounding. She could hear her own heart pounding in her ears. She wasn’t sure who was being turned on more by this, her or Willow.



Willow ran her hand through Tara’s hair, pulling her into her body trying to establish more contact. Tara trailed kisses into the valley between Willow’s breasts, drinking in the scent of Willow and her perfume. Tara’s hands were still cupping Willow’s breasts. Tara gently ran her tongue under Willow’s left breast. Feeling her lover’s breath catch slightly, Tara smiled and did the same to the right side.



“Oh…god,” Willow squeaked. Tara began to tease Willow’s right nipple with her tongue, flicking it ever so gently. Willow let out a small groan and tried to lean forward for more contact, but Tara stopped her. Tara then moved the to left nipple and repeated the process. Willow let out another moan. This time Tara took the nipple in between her teeth and gently bit down. Willow let out a moan of enjoyment, which caused Tara to smile to herself. She got so turned on listening to the soft, and sometimes not so soft, sounds Willow made while they were making love.



Tara continued her trek down Willow’s body. She again knelt down to allow herself better access to Willow’s tummy. “Mmm, Willow Tummy,” she thought as she made her way past the ribs and downward. Tara lowered her hands from Willow’s breasts, receiving a whimper from her lover because of the loss of contact. She trailed them around to the small of her back so she could pull the red head closer to her as she ravaged her tummy. Tara could spend hours just touching and kissing Willow’s tummy. She spent a great deal of time kissing and paying attention to Willow’s belly button. Tara made her way down to the waistband of the shorts Willow was wearing. She smirked and looked up at the red head standing before her.



Willow was staring down at her. She had almost forgotten how incredible it felt to have Tara touching her, loving her. Tara unbuttoned Willow’s shorts. She looked up at Willow again and her eyes were met with green pools of love and desire.



Tara leaned forward and kissed the now exposed skin from below the button of Willow’s shorts. She could feel the heat emanating from Willow. She could tell how turned on she was. Tara grabbed Willow’s zipper with her teeth and slowly unzipped her shorts. Willow, feeling Tara that close to her, tilted her hips towards the blonde, but Tara was ready and had moved to deny Willow the extra contact she was looking for.



“Tara, please,” whimpered Willow.



“All in time baby – all in time,” answered Tara in a sexy, husky voice looking up and shooting Willow a sexy smile.



Willow thought she was going to burst if she didn’t get more contact and soon. She felt Tara hook her fingers around the band of her shorts and pull them down, bringing along her red silk panties. Willow stepped out of them. Tara’s breath caught as she stared at Willow before her. There was the love of her life, standing there wearing nothing at all. Tara ran her hands down and up Willow’s bare legs savoring in the sight and feel of the body before her.



Before Willow knew what was happening, Tara had picked her up and was carrying her to the bed. Both girls knew that Willow wasn’t going to be able to handle standing for much more, and Tara definitely had plans for more. Carefully, Tara lay Willow onto the bed, placing several small kisses on her lips. Tara quickly divested her clothes and joined Willow on the bed. Willow ran her hands along Tara’s body, which was partially hovering over her. Stopping to savor in the lusciousness of Tara’s breasts. She loved how tender and soft they felt as she kneaded them with her fingers. Tara leaned into Willow’s gentle touch and let out a throaty moan.



“I love you, Willow,” said Tara softly in between kisses.



“I love you, too.”



“Hmm, now where was I?” Tara asked as she wiggled her eyebrows at Willow. All Willow could do was gulp and smile.



Tara made her way back down to Willow’s tummy. When she arrived she returned to kissing Willow. She made her way down where Willow’s waistband on her panties and shorts used to be. She made sure to get every centimeter of skin. She started to head down toward the copper curls, but then stopped. Willow wasn’t sure if something was wrong or not. She watched as Tara adjusted her position and started kissing Willow’s upper outer thigh. Willow was a tad disappointed at the skipping of a certain area, but she knew that Tara had a plan and she wasn’t going to interrupt.



Tara kissed her way down Willow’s right outer thigh, to her knee, and down to her calf and ankle. Tara kissed the outside of Willow’s foot sending a pleasing jolt through her. Tara kissed Willow’s inner ankle and started to make her way up the inner part of Willow’s leg. She kissed the inner calf and the inner part of her knee. Slowly and carefully she made her way up Willow’s inner thigh. Willow opened her legs a bit to allow the blonde more room. Tara stopped about three inches from the top of Willow’s inner thigh causing the red head’s body to surge more. Tara could feel the heat coming from Willow getting warmer, more intense. Smiling to herself, Tara moved to Willow’s left outer upper thigh and started to kiss her way down. This received a large whimper from the red head. She wasn’t going to be able to last too much longer. She needed to feel the blonde inside her. Tara made her way down Willow’s outer leg and as she started back up towards her goal she slowed her pace. Willow hated that Tara could get her to the edge and just dangle her there – well she hated it while it was happening, but afterwards she was always very appreciative.



Tara inched her way past Willow’s knee, feeling her own need growing. She needed to taste Willow even more than Willow needed to be tasted. Tara fought the urge to skip directly to her goal. Willow again opened her legs allowing Tara room. This time Tara took the opportunity and slid between Willow’s legs. She continued to kiss her way up the inner right thigh. Stopping just before reaching her goal, Tara looked up longingly at her lover who was staring down at her. Their eyes met. Tara leaned forward and began to place penetrating kisses within the copper curls before her. Her eyes never broke contact with the green eyes looking down at her. Tara started to move her way downward, feeling Willow arch into her looking for more contact. This time Tara allowed the contact. She slid her tongue along the last inch of each inner thigh.



“Oh…god…Tara…please,” she heard Willow stagger out. “I need you, take me please…” she begged.



Tara moved her tongue to the outer folds of Willow, tasting her, feeling the heat, the desire and the need. Tara couldn’t resist anymore. She had to have her. With that, Tara thrust her tongue inside Willow. Willow’s hips jumped off the bed.



“Oh yes,” Willow panted repeatedly as Tara continued to thrust her tongue in and out.



Tara could tell Willow was close to going over the edge. She debated quickly on if she should allow Willow to come or if she should try to make her wait a bit more. Knowing that Willow really needed the release, Tara adjusted and slid two fingers inside of Willow as she moved her mouth to her loves clit. While sucking on Willow clit, Tara started to thrust in and out of the red head.



“Tara, yes…” she heard Willow pant.



Tara could feel Willow’s muscles beginning to tighten around her – she felt the first wave of orgasms pound through her lover. Tara, wanting to make sure Willow was fully satisfied, continued her assault on her. Slipping a third finger inside, she heard Willow gasp loudly.



“Faster baby,” Willow commanded and Tara complied. A second more powerful orgasm overtook the red head, her body shaking from the power. After it finished, Tara slowed her movements and made her way up to Willow’s lips. She placed a soft kiss on Willow’s lips. Willow closed her legs a bit, trapping Tara’s hand inside her. Tara curled her fingers a bit, feeling Willow shake as she did. Willow’s nerves were at total attention and on full alert. Tara slid her body as close to Willow as she could. She then started to exchange soft kisses with the red head. Eventually Willow moved her legs, allowing Tara the opportunity to remove her hand from inside the red head.



“That was amazing,” Willow said as she was still trying to gain control of her limbs and breathing. She knew that it was going to be a long time before that happened.



“You’re always amazing. I just get lucky to share in the time and space where you are,” smiled Tara. She brushed a couple strands of hair out of Willow’s face and then pulled the red head on top of her. Willow rested her head on Tara’s shoulder. Tara savored in the weight that was now on top of her. They lay like that until they drifted off to sleep in sheer exhaustion. Willow silently vowed to return the favor of tonight’s expressions of love. Tara silently accepted that vow. Neither could imagine living their life with another nor were they ever going to allow that opportunity to arise.



**********



Sun streamed in through the curtain hitting Tara in the eyes causing her to stir. As she tried to move she noticed she was trapped between the sheet that was tangled around her and the beautiful red head draped across her body. Tara smiled as she watched Willow sleeping, her head on Tara’s shoulder, her right arm draped across Tara’s chest. Her hand was conveniently resting on Tara’s breast. Willow’s leg was pinning down both of Tara’s. The blonde just laid there; content with where she was, being there with Willow. Tara carefully placed a kiss on top of Willow’s head – it was about the only movement she could make where she was sure not to disturb her.



“Mmmm, lower please…” came a voice from the area of Tara’s shoulder. She looked down to be greeted with two green slits and some lips looking for their mate. Tara was more than happy to oblige the request. Leaning forward she placed a couple gentle kisses onto Willow’s lips. As Tara started to pull away, Willow stopped her and leaned into a deeply passionate kiss. Both girls let out a soft moan as their lips moved together. Willow captured Tara’s lower lip and began to run her tongue along it. Tara arched as Willow’s hand began to knead her breast.



“If I didn’t know her better I’d say she had that planned,” thought Tara regarding the convenient placing of Willow’s hand while she was sleeping. Tara tried to adjust her position to gain better access to Willow, but the red head noticed and halted her move.



“Oh I don’t think so missy, there are a couple questions I have for you and a couple things that I think I’d like to maybe do to you,” said the red head wiggling her eyebrows.



“Oh really,” Tara said in a sassy playful tone.



“Oh yeah – you have some explaining to do,” stated Willow as she teased Tara’s lips with her own and much to her loves dismay moved her hand from her breast. Willow adjusted herself atop Tara, still ensuring that the blonde was trapped and not able to move without dumping her or both of them onto the floor.



“Well Ms. Rosenberg, I appear to be at your mercy,” said Tara as she pressed her hips into Willow’s causing the red heads eyes to close.



“Right, there will…um…be no more of that,” scolded Willow playfully. She knew that if Tara kept that up she was not going to be responsible for her actions, nor was she going to get the answers to her questions.



“No more of what?” giggled Tara as she pressed her hips into Willow’s again. Willow caved for a second pressing her hips and her lips into Tara’s. Both savoring in the contact, Willow deepened the kiss, feeling her heart begin to race, wishing there wasn’t the sheet between them. They reluctantly broke the kiss both needing air in their lungs.



“No more of that,” smiled Willow as she tried to regain her breath



“Oh, ok, just wanted to clarify,” laughed Tara as her breathing returned to a more normal state. “So what are these questions you have for me?”



“Well, for starters…who’s Jenn?” Willow asked with a smile.



“Come on Will, she’s just a friend,” Tara said looking deep into Willow’s eyes trying to figure out if she was truly jealous or worried.



“Uh huh, and where do you know this ‘friend’ from?” Willow continued with the questioning, raising her eyebrows slightly and giving Tara a little smirk to let her know that she was just curious and not mad.



“She’s in one of my classes at school. She’s just a friend – we’ve had coffee a couple times and exchanged notes for class.”



“I see, and what exactly does this ‘Jenn’ person look like? Have I seen her before?” giggled the red head having more fun with this than she had originally planned.



“Well she’s about an inch shorter than you, blonde hair – though I think she either dyes it or highlights it, but I’m not sure. She plays on the Sunnydale Soccer Team…you remember the game we went to about a month ago? Jenn was number 6, you commented on her…um…playing style.” Tara realized that she was just digging herself into more mock trouble as she continued and figured it would be a good thing if she just stopped talking.



“Oh yeah,” blushed Willow recalling her remarks at the game. “So, do you and…um…Jenn spend a lot of time together these days?” continued Willow doing her best Sherlock Holmes voice, which she wasn’t very good at.



“No sweetie, just class and maybe once a month we go for coffee. She’s seeing someone anyway, can we get onto the next question,” laughed the blonde. She loved Willow’s jealous side most of the time. “Or could I maybe sway you by showing you that there is and never will be anyone other than you,” Tara added in a very sexy and husky voice.



Willow leaned forward just enough to be out of Tara’s reach with her lips. Tara could feel Willow’s breath on her lips. They sat there for almost a minute before Willow closed the distance between their lips. The kiss was passion filled and the desire for the other burned deep inside. Willow reluctantly pulled away from Tara, eliciting a whimper from her lover due to the lack of lip lockage.



“But,” whimpered Tara.



“All in time baby, all in time. I still have another question for you to answer,” the red head said smiling down at the frustrated blonde.



“Fine,” pouted Tara.



“So, last night did you come here with intentions of seducing me?”



“No!” Tara wasn’t sure if she should be hurt at the implication that she had planned last night or not.



“So, then – I’m just curious, but totally not complaining, what happened to the slowness of us getting back together?”



“Buffy asked me to move back in so I came over here. I was going to sleep on the couch. She thought that it would be better if we were all under one roof. And when I saw you standing there, looking so incredibly sexy – I couldn’t resist myself,” Tara said as she smiled remembering the sight from the door as she came up the stairs.



“Well, I think that we can do better than you sleeping on the couch,” said Willow adjusting herself so that the sheet was no longer separating them.



“Oh, and where might you be thinking?” Tara whispered as the feeling of Willow’s body against her own started to set her senses afire.



Willow decided that instead of using words she’d show Tara. Willow pressed her hips into Tara’s, arching her back and allowing Tara an extensive view of her upper body. Tara’s eyes were affixed to Willow’s neck, leaning forward and placing soft kisses along her neck. Willow let out a soft groan and then pushed Tara down onto the bed. Moving forward Willow captured Tara’s lips. Their lips fought for control of the other. Tara opened her mouth allowing Willow’s tongue access. Their tongues massaged and dueled for dominance. Both letting out moans of enjoyment, their hands tracing the others body, their pulses racing. Willow straddled Tara’s right leg and began pressing her right thigh into Tara’s core, feeling how turned on her lover was. Tara bent her right leg slightly adding pressure as her and Willow began to grind their hips together. Willow trailed kisses down Tara’s neck. Tara’s hands ran the length of Willow’s upper body.



“I…love…you,” panted Tara as she cupped Willow’s ass in her hands.



“Oh god…I…love…you…too,” panted Willow, her breathing becoming more ragged and her need growing more with every movement of Tara’s body against her own.



Tara tried to roll Willow over onto her back, but the red head stopped her. Willow kissed her way to Tara’s ear and whispered, “My turn to show you how much I love you and missed you.” Feeling Willow’s breath on her ear was almost enough to send Tara over the edge. Willow could sense this and slowed her hips down a bit wanting to prolong things. Willow began nipping her way down Tara’s neck to her breastbone, and then down to Tara’s breasts. Glancing back up, Willow shot Tara a quick smile and then captured the blondes left nipple between her teeth. Tara’s body felt the surge run through it, it’d been too long since she’d felt that type of a surge.



“Oh Willow,” she moaned.



Willow suckled on her left nipple and cupped her right breast with her hand and began teasing the nipple. Tara arched into the touches. Tara managed to get her hands between her and Willow’s body and cupped the red heads breast. Kneading them, feeling the soft skin on her hands. Willow’s moan, into Tara’s left breast, reassured Tara that they were both feeling the same enjoyment. Willow moved to the right nipple and continued the same treatment. Their hips began to pick up pace as both neared the edge. Pulling back, Willow looked longingly into Tara’s eyes. Both were able to see the love they shared.



Tara moved her hands from Willow’s breasts, placing one on the small of Willow’s back and the other behind her neck pulling her into a deep kiss. That was all it took to send them both over the edge, both coming together, feeling their bodies shudder from the powerful orgasms. As the kiss lightened, Willow captured Tara’s lower lip and sucked on it, before breaking the kiss and collapsing on top of Tara. They laid there together, enjoying the closeness and catching their breath for what seemed like an eternity. Neither wanted to move or break the closeness they were feeling.



Willow glanced over at the clock…7:30…she knew that Buffy and Dawn would either be home soon or up and moving if they weren’t already. They hadn’t heard the two come in last night, but then again they had other things on their minds.



“I suppose we should probably…um…get up,” Tara said pulling Willow closer to her.



“Maybe if we lay here really quiet, nobody will know we’re here and we won’t have to.”



“Willow, we both have class…and I can’t afford to miss my class today,” regretfully Tara said.



“Why not? What class do you have today that you can’t miss?”



“I have to give someone back their notes. I missed the last class, and we have a test next week,” explained Tara, hoping Willow wasn’t going to ask for more details.



“I see, and who’s notes did you borrow,” Willow asked playfully.



“Jenn’s,” Tara regretfully said closing her eyes not sure what to expect as a reaction from the girl lying on top of her.



Willow knew she was going to be able to milk this for a while. She trusted Tara. That was never in question. She decided to cut her a little break. She wanted Tara to know that she trusted her. Leaning forward Willow softly kissed Tara’s lips and whispered, “I’m sorry you had to miss class – lets get ready, maybe we can conserve some water if you wanna join me in the shower.”



Tara needed no further invitation. She opened her eyes to see the red head smiling down at her. They both put on a robe and headed for the shower to get ready for class.

You know, I thought this was a dream at first because Tara had just moved back into the house, but then the next part was the morning after. I was surprised because you said you were going to take things slowly in your reply to my feedback.



I am glad the ladies are completely back together though. :heart

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.

Tara: Willow, I got so lost.
Willow: I found you. I will always find you.


Willow: Hi, um Tara. I was wondering maybe you want to go out some time for coffee? food? Kisses and gay love?
