Willow hurried around the apartment, making the final preparations for the special night she had planned for Tara. She left work early so she would have plenty of time to pick up dinner, set the table, and prepare the bed. Lighting the final candle on the table, Willow turned and surveyed the apartment, making sure everything was in place. Knowing Tara would be home any minute, she grabbed the roses off the kitchen counter, turned the CD player on, and stood in front of the door waiting for her beautiful girlfriend to arrive. Just when she thought she couldn't possibly wait another second for Tara to get home, the door knob turned, and Tara came in. She looked at Willow who was standing with her hands behind her back, and then around at the apartment which was bathed in candle light. Finally stepping through the door, she turned and closed it, and then looked back at Willow.
        "What..."
        "Surprise," Willow said bringing the roses from behind her back.
        "Why..." Tara asked, just shaking her head and taking the roses from Willow.
        "Because I love you," Willow said taking the flowers back from Tara and placing them on the end table. "Come sit, I made dinner," Willow said leading Tara to the table.
        "You made dinner?" Tara questioned.
        "Okay, technically I ordered dinner and then picked it up, but it's the thought that counts, right?" Willow asked nervously, hoping Tara wasn't too disappointed that she hadn't actually cooked, but she thought the meal would be better if it was edible.
        "Yes, Sweetie, and the thought is beautiful," Tara said reaching across the small table and taking Willow's hand. "This is all wonderful."
        "I'm so glad you like it," Willow said, taking a deep breath and relaxing. "Um, I ordered your favorite," Willow smiled.
        "I noticed," Tara said removing her hand and starting her dinner. "How was your day?"
        "It was good, I got a lot done really fast, cause I knew I was leaving early," Willow said. "How was your day?"
        "Hectic," Tara said. "Friday's are the worst, the kids are always excited for the weekend, and no one fell asleep a rest time."
        "Awww, baby I'm sorry," Willow said, "Is there anything I can do?"
        "You already have," Tara said smiling, giggling at the goofy grin Willow got on her face.
        "So you really like this?" Willow asked, beaming.
        "I really, really do," Tara said.
        "Well, this is just the beginning," Willow said, "there's more."
        "More?" Tara questioned.
        "Yup," Willow smiled.
        "What's next?" Tara asked excitedly.
        Willow stood up from her seat, and walked around to Tara, extending her hand, "Would you care to dance?"
        "I'd love to," Tara said taking Willow's hand and standing up. Moving over closer to the music, Willow placed her hands on Tara's hips and began gently swaying to the music. Tara rested her arms on Willow's shoulders, and brought her hands around Willow's neck, running her hands through Willow's hair, bringing her body closer to her girlfriend's. Willow leaned forward and gently brushed her lips over Tara's.
        "I love you so much," Willow said.
        "I love you too, Sweetie," Tara said smiling at Willow.
        Willow moved closer and began nuzzling Tara's neck, placing soft kisses on it and then sucking on Tara's pulse point making her moan lightly. Moving her mouth up to Tara's ear, Willow whispered, "I want to make love to you."
        "Oh yes," Tara said pulling back and placing a kiss on Willow's lips.
        Taking Tara's hands Willow lead her back toward their bedroom, kissing her again before opening the door to reveal their bed made up with white satin sheets and covered in rose petals. "You like?" Willow asked.
        "No, I love," Tara said. "Oh, Will, this is so wonderful, you're so wonderful."
        "Tara, you're the wonderful one," Willow said. "Let me show you how much I love you," Willow said leading Tara toward the bed. Stopping beside it, Willow began kissing Tara passionately, working her hands under the fabric of Tara's shirt, and lifting it slowly up. Pulling back, she lifted it over Tara's head and dropped it to the floor. Moving back in, she kissed Tara again, this time undoing Tara's pants, so she could slip them off. She continued undressing Tara in this fashion until she stood naked before her. "Lay down," Willow said gently, waiting for Tara to get comfortable on the bed, before starting to remove her own clothing. She tried to be as sensual as possible, as she swayed to the music that could still be heard from the other room. She began by slowly unbuttoning her blouse, and shrugging it off her shoulders. Tara smiled lovingly at Willow, enjoying the show that she was receiving. Willow unbuttoned her pants next, and stepped out them, smiling broadly at Tara. "What next?" Willow asked as she stood in front of Tara in her bra and panties.
        "Both," Tara smiled.
        "What first?" Willow grinned.
        "Umm... Both," Tara said again.
        Willow shook her head and giggled. Clearly she would have to make this decision on her own. Reaching around her back she unhooked her bra, letting slide forward just a little, to reveal a small portion of her breasts, then she reached down and began sliding her panties off, but not completely uncovering herself. Turning her back to Tara, she shrugged her bra the rest of the way off, and then completely removed her panties, before turning around to face her girlfriend again.
        "Mmmm," Tara said, moaning her appreciation for her girlfriend's body.
        Walking around to the end of the bed, Willow crawled on, positioning herself by Tara's feet. Taking Tara's right leg in her hands, she lifted it up and began placing gentle kisses on each one of Tara's toes, moving up her foot, and ankle, kissing all the way to her thigh. Switching to Tara's other leg, she repeated the same treatment, making sure to cover every inch in sweet kisses. Crawling further up the bed, she straddled Tara's hips, taking her right arm and kissing her way up it, starting at Tara's finger tips, and ending at the base of her neck, taking some extra time there, to leave a mark of love, before switching to the other arm and doing the same. She smiled down at Tara before leaning forward and kissing the top of her head, her breasts brushing over Tara's face, much to Tara's enjoyment, as she took the opportunity to run her tongue over them, making Willow shiver with pleasure. Reluctantly she sat up, continuing to kiss her way down Tara's face, running her tongue down the front of Tara's neck, making her way towards Tara's breasts. Kissing in between them, and them around them, before actually putting her mouth on Tara's hardening nipples. As Willow's mouth made contact with the first one, Tara moaned and her hips bucked up in response, causing her to put momentary pressure on Willow's clit. The sudden pressure made Willow bite down slightly on Tara's nipple, making Tara scream out in pleasure. Upon hearing Tara scream, Willow switched breasts, giving it the same treatment, complete with the gentle biting that Tara seemed to love. Willow kissed them each again softly before continuing southward, covering Tara's belly in kisses, moving ever closer to Tara's center. The smell of their combined arousal was already filling the room. Looking up at Tara, she mouthed the words "I love you," before stroking Tara's center firmly with her tongue. Running the tip of her tongue around Tara's opening several times, before moving it back up and placing pressure on Tara's clit. Tara reached down and placed her hand on the back of Willow's head, trying to increase the contact on her clit. Receiving Tara's message, Willow sucked hard on the swollen nub, spurred on by Tara's moans and screams. Tara came hard, flooding Willow's mouth with her sweet juices. Willow lapped eagerly at Tara's center, not wanting to waste a single drop. Finally satisfied that she had gotten it all, she crawled up the length of Tara's body and laid on top of her, kissing her gently.
        "I love you, Tara," Willow said, placing butterfly kisses on her face. "You mean everything to me, I wanted you to know how very special you are."
        "I knew," Tara said caressing Willow's cheek, "You show me every day," she said placing a gentle kiss on Willow's lips. "I don't need romantic dinners, flowers, and special sheets. I just need you."
        "You've got me," Willow smiled, "for an eternity and then some."
        "And maybe a day longer than that," Tara added, wrapping her arms around Willow's back, and holding her close.
