Okay, first: Thanks Domaris, AmberAlysonlover, Arwen276, Washi, Fairydust, SySnootles, Taras Shadow, Willara, Lt Sticks and Stroke of Luck for the comments/feedback. And thanks to everyone else who reads/likes the story.:grin



Secondly, that was not teasing...well okay, maybe the part about Willow's lusty thoughts, but the end wasn't.:) But for those of you who thinks that it was, I'll be sure to make it up to you. Might be in the next update or the one after it, but either way, I'll throw in some :drool worthy scenes just for you.



Update later today!:flower

Food for Thought Part 6





Soft giggling aroused Tara from her slumber as she took a minute to blink the sleep from her eyes. It was only when she heard the softer laughter again that she realized where she was and who was with her. Willow was sprawled out on top of her, using Tara’s chest as a pillow while her arm hung over the blonde’s midriff and the edge of the couch.



The night before, when their desire for each other began to increase, the girls decided to slow it down a little. They both knew and agreed that it was too early to go any further than kissing and were content to just hold one another. Shortly after their lazy kisses died down, they eventually allowed sleep to claim them.



Tara looked down at her girlfriend. Girlfriend, she smiled. At least she thought that, that was what last night meant. They hadn’t spoken about the specific label, but she hoped Willow felt the same. She was cut off from her musings when the redhead giggled again. A second later, her body jerked and Tara found herself staring down into Willow’s sleepy green eyes.



“Hey,” Willow yawned and smiled sheepishly. Her hair was matted to one side of her face and she twisted her head so that her chin rested on Tara’s right breast. Tara wasn’t sure if Willow knew what she was doing as she shifted her head several times, searching for the perfect position. Finally, the blonde couldn’t hold it in anymore, as Willow’s face grazed the thin material of her shirt and the sensitive skin beneath.



When Tara drew in a sharp breath, Willow finally looked down, “Oh god, sorry...sorry,” her eyes grew wide in panic as she fumbled, trying to climb away, “I...,” her hand connected with Tara’s other breast and she squeaked.



“Willow,” the blonde laughed despite her sudden arousal, “m-maybe you should just stay w-where you are. Here...,” she moved closer to the edge. Willow’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she lowered her head on Tara’s shoulder, “B-Better?”



“Yeah,” Willow lightly kissed Tara’s collarbone, “I’m sorry about the...,” she gestured with her hand, “you know.”



“It’s all right,” Tara shivered at the effect Willow’s breathing was having on her exposed neck. She turned and brushed her lips against red eyebrows, “Are you o-okay?”



“Okay?”



“You’re um...shaking.” “Shaking?” Willow raised herself with her elbow. “No, not shaking. Vibrating,” Tara frowned, feeling something hum against her leg, “do you have a pager?”



“Oh,” Willow shifted a little, wondering why she hadn’t felt the soft vibrating, “it’s my phone,” she dug into her pocket for the small device. She flipped the phone and the screen flashed ‘Home’. “It’s Buffy,” she pulled herself into sitting position and Tara did the same.



When she answered, she noticed the tone of relief in Buffy’s voice. “Willow, god I’ve been calling you all morning and I didn’t have Tara’s number at the house, to call... you are at Tara's place, right?”



Willow began to roll her eyes but instead they bulged halfway out of their sockets when Tara threw her head back and yawned as she stretched. “Will... Willow?” Buffy’s voice echoed through the earpiece.



“Um, uh, yeah,” the redhead found the strength to close her mouth and answer, “yeah, I’m here.” Tara finished and smiled when she met Willow’s gaze. Willow smiled nervously, wondering if Tara knew what she had been looking at. “What’s up, Buffy?” She asked.



“So what happened? You were gone all night...and I know you didn’t spend the whole time talking,” Buffy smirked on the other side.



“Buffy,” Willow warned, but couldn’t stop the blush that spread across her face. Tara saw the subtle change and secretly wondered what the two were talking about.



“Okay, fine, but I want the details later. Oh, but not all of the details, because-.” “Buffy,” Willow interrupted her friend’s miniature rant.



“Okay, okay. Well...you know I’m all for the idea of staying home today, but we were supposed to open two hours ago.”



“What?” Panic rose in Willow’s eyes, “No, Buffy, it’s Saturday... we’re not open today.” Tara bit her lip as she looked at the clock. It was pushing toward ten and they were supposed to have opened the restaurant at eight.



“Willow, it’s Friday.”



“Oh god,” Willow stood up, “oh god. I’m on my way... are you dressed? Are you ready?” She asked in one breath.



“Yes and yes. Do you want me to just meet you there?”



“No. No, I need to come home anyway,” Tara watched as Willow began to pace, “I need to change.”



“Okay, but calm down Willow. As long as we’re there by eleven, it should be okay,” Buffy reassured. They said their ‘goodbyes’ and Willow continued to pace. “I-I’ll g-go change,” Tara hurried off before Willow could speak.



A short time later, after a quick stop at Willow’s house, the trio pulled up outside of the restaurant.



“What is Anya doing here?” Buffy asked and watched as Anya peered through the window, trying to see past the curtains. When they were closer, Anya turned around, “Well, it’s about time,” she huffed and moved so that Willow could open the door.



“You know, I finally stop by for one of your plant burgers, and you’re not even open,” Anya whined, “that’s bad for business. Very bad. Do you know how much money you’ve just lost?”



“Anya,” Willow began pulling the curtains up, though the ‘closed’ sign was still in the window, “spare me your lecture on proper capitalism, and grab an apron. I need you to help Buffy in the kitchen.”



“Apron?” Anya backed up, shaking her head, “Oh no. No way am I working here,” she continued to back away, “I didn’t sign up for this... this is forced labor. This-.”



“I’ll pay you.” Her ears perked up at the magick phrase. “Money?” She smiled and began to move forward.



“Yes Anya, money,” Willow sighed, “now would please go help Buffy.”



“Okay, but no funny stuff... I know what this place does to people like me,” she said before disappearing behind the door.



Willow shook her head, and began removing the chairs from the tabletop. “I’m sorry,” the soft whisper came from behind her. Tara was staring at the floor as she took down the chairs from a different table.



“Tara, no,” Willow shook her head, already knowing what the blonde was apologizing for, “don’t apologize. I don’t regret a minute... so please don’t think it’s your fault.” She cupped Tara’s face, using her thumb to smooth away the lines of worry, “If anything, I should be apologizing for drooling all over you last night... literally,” she joked, feeling Tara smile against her palms.



Buffy walked through the kitchen door and stopped when she saw the tender moment between her friends. She grinned, forgetting what she wanted to ask Willow, and turned back around.



“No apologies. No regrets,” Willow stepped closer.



“None,” Tara filled the space. The second their lips touched, both girls felt the electricity, like a spark heating up their entire body. Willow dropped her hands and moved them to Tara’s back so she could pull the blonde closer. Tara curled her fingers in Willow’s hair and deepened the kiss, this time by squeezing her tongue into Willow’s inviting mouth. The redhead clutched Tara’s shirt, rubbing over the material as her tongue joined Tara’s. The two clashed against each other, fighting for dominance until they had no choice but to come up for air.



“Tonight,” Willow’s tongue flicked Tara’s top lip, “will you go out with me?” A moan grumbled in the back of Tara’s throat, and all she could do was smile and nod. Soon it was Willow’s turn to gasp when Tara traced her parted lips and slipped back in. Their dueling tongues continued to overlap and slide together, emitting groans into the silent room.



Well, almost silent. A loud series of smacks made their lips pull apart with an equally loud pop. Anya leaned against the counter, clapping, “Well, you two certainly know how to put on a show,” she smirked and pointed to the window.



Outside, a group of men and even some women were staring, mouth agape, through the glass. The girls managed a brief smile, through the crimson embarrassment of having been watched.



“Food’s ready,” Anya flashed a cheeky grin, while she unlocked the door and flipped the sign to ‘open’. She laughed at the pair’s horrified expression as a few members of their ‘audience’ hurried into the restaurant. Her cackle grew even louder as she turned and walked back into the kitchen.



“Oh god,” the couple whispered in unison. It was going to be a very long and painful day.

Food for Thought Part 7





“So where are you guys going tonight?” Buffy asked. She was laying on Willow’s bed, with her head hanging upside down over the edge as she watched her best friend rummage through her closet.



Willow stopped her search and stared at her friend in horror. “I don’t know! Oh god Buffy, I don’t know!” She tightened her grip on the shirt she was holding, “I hadn’t thought about it. All I could think about was that she said yes.” Walking on her knees, Willow moved to the side of the bed. “What am I going to do?”



Buffy tried not to laugh at her friend’s pitiful expression, “Relax Will, it’s almost seven o’clock. You’re picking her up at eight, right,” she waited for Willow to nod, “okay, so that gives you a little more than an hour to decide,” she smiled when the redhead scrunched her eyebrows and frowned.



“Well, that’s not exactly a whole lot of time,” Willow pouted, “what would you do?” “I’d go with dinner and a movie...keep it nice and simple,” Buffy nodded, agreeing with herself.



“What?” She noticed a smile spreading across her roommate’s face, before it disappeared into another pout. Buffy playfully rolled her eyes when Willow stuck out her bottom lip, making it tremble slightly. “I’ll go check today’s listings, and make the reservations,” she sat up, shaking off the massive head rush, “just make sure you’re ready by a quarter ‘til, okay?”



“Thanks Buffy,” Willow grinned, “where would I be without you?” Buffy stopped in the doorway, “Should I really answer that?” When Willow tossed a ball of socks at her, she quickly dodged it and laughed as she went down the stairs.



I have a real date... with a real person, Willow couldn’t stop her excitement as she turned back to her closet. Now, if I could only find something to wear, she thought before diving back into the colorful pile of clothing.



Less than twenty minutes later, she had decided on an outfit and quickly got dressed before joining Buffy in the living room. “Okay, how does this look?” Willow spun around and waited for her friend’s opinion.



“Like I shouldn’t expect to see you for the rest of the night,” she winked to emphasize her approval of Willow’s choice of clothing. “It’s not like that.” Not yet, Willow blushed, unable to stop the thought from popping into her head.



“Uh huh, right,” Buffy smirked, “Anya told me what happened this morning...so will there be a repeat performance tonight?” She joked, loving the way her friend’s blush deepened as she squirmed.



“No,” Willow answered, a little too loudly, “I mean, we won’t be doing that again,” she smiled and replayed the events of the early morning, in her mind.



“Oh, you won’t?” Buffy nodded, unbelieving. “I...,” Willow huffed, unable to think of anything, “leave me alone,” she said with a playful spark in her eyes.



“I’m just messin’ with you. Here,” Buffy handed the redhead a slip of paper, “I made reservations at that little Greek place down on Main St., and that’s a list of show times for the theater across the street... I figured it’d be easier just to walk.”



“Thanks,” Willow checked her watch, “I guess I should go,” she smiled nervously, before frowning, “Should I get flowers? I should get flowers, right?” She checked the time again, “I have a little time, I’ll stop by and get some from the florist.”



“Why don’t you just go pick some from Mrs. Hamilton’s garden?” Buffy shrugged when Willow stared at her, somewhat appalled. “What? It’s free and a lot faster.”



“Yeah, but somehow I don’t think Tara’s going to find a handful of rotting flowers, very romantic,” Willow said sarcastically. She shook her head, amused by her friends’ shocking, yet cheap idea. “I better go... don’t want to be late.” She stayed rooted in her spot and began fidgeting with her clothing.



“Willow, you look great,” Buffy chimed in, “now go.”



“Wish me luck,” Willow smiled, making sure she had everything as she opened the door. “You won’t need it,” Buffy called back just as the door closed.



****



Tara had been watching from her window for the past ten minutes for any sign of Willow. It wasn’t because the redhead was late, it was just that Tara had been too excited to do anything else. She looked down and smoothed over her outfit with nervous fingers, before glancing out into the parking lot.



When she caught a glimpse of familiar headlights, her heart began to pound even harder against her chest, and she had to remind herself to breathe as she locked her door and jogged down the steps. Once Tara reached the bottom, she steadied herself with a few deep breaths and greeted Willow at the gate.



“Hey,” she whispered to the most beautiful sight to ever reach her eyes. Willow hadn’t expected Tara to meet her, and she quickly hid her left arm from the blonde’s view. “I saw you pull up,” Tara explained, noticing Willow’s sudden movement.



“Hi,” Willow smiled, shifting from side to side, “um, this is for you.” She pulled the long stemmed white rose from it’s hiding place. Tara dipped her head, whispered a ‘thank you’ and subconsciously reached for her date’s hand. She pulled their clasped hands to her lips and placed a gentle kiss against Willow’s knuckles.



Willow swallowed hard, her eyes focused on Tara’s mouth, “Ready?” She cleared her dry throat and licked her lips as the blonde nodded.



****



The restaurant wasn’t as crowded as Willow had thought it would be, especially on a Friday night. There were a few couples scattered around, some of which, were having conversations but other than that, the room was quiet. The girls were seated at a booth in the back, while they waited for their orders to arrive.



“It’s really nice here,” Tara said as she observed her surroundings, “do you come here often?” She turned back to Willow, loving the way she felt comfortable in the redhead’s presence.



“Only a few times,” Willow took a sip of her water, “I usually come here with Buffy. She likes their Baklava.”



“Oh um, how long have you and Buffy known each other?” Tara asked.



“Since kindergarten,” Willow smiled as she thought about her friend, “she stole my lunch the first day. But I got over it and we became friends after I explained to her the act of swapping instead of stealing.” She laughed at the distant memory. “What about you? Do you keep in touch with your friends?”



“Some,” the blonde paused, “I um, I didn’t h-have that many friends.” She briefly averted her gaze from Willow and silently cursed her awkwardness. Willow noticed the small stammer and decided to change the subject.



“So what made you decide to move here?” She repeated Anya’s earlier question.



“My mother was born here,” Tara’s voice was strong and clear. A sad smile crossed her face, “I guess it makes me closer to her in some ways.”



“Where is she?” Willow asked, already fearing the answer.



“She died four years ago.” Unshed tears glistened in Tara’s eyes, and Willow automatically reached over the table. Her first instinct was to apologize, but Tara quieted her before she could speak. “No apologies, remember?” She flashed a lopsided smile. “It wasn’t sudden, and... and I’m just grateful that I was allowed to say goodbye.” A single tear splashed, soaking into the tablecloth.



Willow nodded and gently squeezed the blonde’s hand as she thought about her own mother and their indifference. Neither girl knew what to say next, so they sat in silence until their dinner arrived, and reverted to mild chitchat throughout the meal.



****



Holding hands, the couple made their way across the street. “Are you okay?” Willow asked for the second time since leaving the restaurant. Once again, she chided herself for bringing up Tara’s mother.



“I’m fine...really,” Tara smiled. Deep inside, she knew that she’d never get over her mother’s death, and truth be told, she didn’t want to ‘get over’ it. Getting over, meant forgetting. And Tara vowed to never forget the woman who brought so much joy into her life. She glanced at Willow, one of the women.



“Okay,” Willow nodded as they crossed the street. The line outside the theater was long, considering the time of night. She smiled at the thought of being with Tara in the darkened room, but her smile soon turned into an annoyed frown when she caught sight of the people ahead of them. “Great,” she mumbled low enough for Tara to hear.



“What’s w-wrong?” Tara followed her date’s gaze, “Oh... do you want to leave?”



“Would you mind?” She smiled nervously, “It’s just that Anya tends to be one of those people who enjoys talking back to the movie screen.”



“I don’t mind,” Tara shook her head, “we um, we can go back to my place. If...if you-.” “Okay,” Willow’s hasty answer cut the blonde off. “Okay,” Tara agreed and the two hurried off before anyone could notice them.

I just love your Buffy in your fic. Being all support-y and teasing our slightly neurotic Willow. That's just so cute. Tara's showing (albeit just a bit) of her deep emotions regarding her mother boasts well for the couple. She's comfortable enough to let Willow see how vulnerable she is. That's a very good (and sad) thing.



And yes, I am a bit of a Star Wars fan (understatement). My nic gave it away, didn't it? It's always lovely to know someone who gets the reference. Thanks! :D

Food for Thought Part 8





“I hate Sunnydale weather... it was fine ten minutes ago. Perfect,” Willow pouted as rain drops began to splash against the windshield, “I mean, why do they call it Sunnydale, when it’s raining all the time.”



Tara sat back, listening to the redhead as they approached her apartment building. She smiled, watching the adorable way Willow’s lip curled up in annoyance. “Maybe there’s a storm passing through the outskirts.”



“Yeah, but still... they should call it Rainydale,” Willow continued to mope, “Sunnydale,” she scoffed, “that’s false advertisement. People come here expecting sunshine, only to end up with buckets of salt water. I bet the tourist rates would plummet, if they changed the name.” She turned to Tara and saw the amusement crossing her face, “You think I’m crazy, don’t you?”



The blonde kept her mouth shut, shrugging as she smiled. The rain began to fall harder when they pulled into the parking lot. “Do you want me to drop you off before I park?” Willow asked.



Tara looked out the window as Willow slowed near the curb, “No,” she shook her head lightly, “I don’t mind getting wet.” There was something in the blonde’s eyes that made Willow do a double-take. “Okay,” the reply was soft, yet slightly hoarse.



Tara smiled as Willow searched for a spot. There was just something about this woman, which made her feel like she could be herself without holding anything back. Sure she had her moments of shyness, as she always did when meeting new people. But her timid demeanor always seemed to crumble whenever she was around the beautiful redhead.



Willow silenced the engine and turned to her passenger. They looked at one another and nodded as if they knew what the other was thinking. A second later, both girls swung their doors open and bolted for the apartment building.



“Dammit,” Willow’s silent curse made Tara stop and turn around just as she reached the sidewalk. “I left the lights on,” Willow explained and ran back to her car. She waved her hand, gesturing for Tara to continue toward the building. Reaching the building, Tara held the door open and waited for Willow as the redhead sprinted through the rain.



“C’mon,” Tara laughed and laced her fingers with Willow’s. When the drenched couple reached Tara’s door, the blonde slipped her shoes off before stepping into the apartment. Willow did the same, but had a harder time as she struggled to remove her boots. Hopping on one leg, she finally managed to pull the material free and joined Tara in the living room.



“I’ll get us some towels,” Tara said and disappeared down the hallway. Once the blonde was gone, Willow set her shoes beside the door, before walking toward Tara’s stereo. She aimlessly ran her hand along the buttons as she looked through the CD collection and when her finger accidently connected with the power button, a stream of music blared through speakers. The redhead jumped back and tried to steady her rapid heart before turning the volume down.



Hearing the loud music, Tara ran back into the living room, “Are you okay?”



Willow flashed a sheepish grin, “Yeah, sorry... I didn’t mean to-.”



“No, it’s okay,” Tara handed a towel to the redhead as she spoke, “you can listen to it,” her gaze dropped, lingering on Willow’s chest. “Do you w-want a T-shirt?” She tried unsuccessfully to pull her eyes away from the sheer top.



Willow grinned as she followed Tara’s eyes, “Yeah,” she cleared her throat and Tara’s gaze finally retracted. The blue pools roamed upward, meeting Willow’s eyes, and the two stared at one another until Tara realized what she was supposed to be doing.



“I should go...,” Tara pointed to the back and nodded again. She began to step away, but instead she quickly moved closer and gave Willow a soft kiss before disappearing once again.



The blonde came back a few minutes later wearing a T-shirt with loose black sweat pants. “I didn’t know if you wanted to change c-completely.” She smiled nervously and held out a shirt and pair of pajamas for the redhead, “The um, the bathroom is down the hall and to your left.”



“Thanks,” Willow whispered. Tara watched her leave and skipped off to the kitchen.

Willow slipped into the bathroom and closed the door. As she removed her wet clothing, she couldn’t resist surveying the small room. She was automatically drawn to the bathtub and couldn’t resist taking a closer look. Tracing over the different flavors of shampoo and body wash, Willow reached for the Apricot shampoo. She held the bottle to her nose and imagined Tara’s scent filling her senses. She imagined soft blonde strands tickling her skin and suppressed a groan when the image of Tara’s lips flooded her mind.



Taking a final sniff, Willow returned the bottle to the shelf and continued getting dressed. As she left the bathroom, she noticed that the bedroom door was ajar. The redhead glanced toward the living room, half-expecting to see Tara, and sighed in relief when she didn’t. Her hand hesitated on the doorhandle but she shook her head and let go. Just the thought of stepping into the room, made her feel a little intrusive. Biting her lip, she took another look at the alluring door and walked away.



****

After dropping her wet clothes on the floor beside her shoes, Willow peeked around the corner and frowned when she saw that the kitchen was empty. A horrified expression crossed her face when she turned back to the bedroom door. Had Tara been in the room the whole time she stood outside the door? She stared intently, expecting the blonde to emerge and nearly jumped out of her skin when the door behind her opened.



Willow’s shriek immediately halted Tara in the doorway. She stopped her own urge to screech and focused on the spooked redhead. Willow put a hand over her thudding chest and to Tara’s surprise, began to laugh. Willow wasn’t sure if she was laughing because of the relief she felt from knowing that Tara wasn’t in the back, or laughing because it was the only thing she could do besides faint.



Once the almost delirious giggle died down, Tara smiled bashfully, “S-Sorry,” she held up a pack of papers, “I went to check the mail.” Still not trusting her voice, Willow nodded. “I didn’t m-mean to scare you.” Tara closed the door, setting her keys and the mail on the table beside her.



“No, it’s okay,” Willow spoke though her nerves were still jumping, “you just surprised me that’s all. Did you get anything good?” She gestured toward the pile.



“Oh, um, just coupons,” the blonde stepped closer, “are you sure you’re okay? Do you want a drink or something?”



“Yeah,” Willow found herself lost in the concern etched on Tara’s face, “I’m fine, but a drink would be great.”



“Okay, I’ll be right back.” Willow was still a little skittish when Tara left. She shook her arms, trying to loosen some of the tension and lowered herself onto the carpet next to the stereo. Music continued to flow from the speakers and she bobbed along with the beats as she looked through the stack of CDs.



On her way back, Tara stopped and leaned against the wall, quietly watching as Willow closed her eyes and began to move more with the music. With her mouth partly open, Tara licked her lips as Willow’s upper body began to join the rhythm of her head. With her eyes slightly glazed, Tara swallowed and continued to watch.



“This is a really good CD.” Her breath caught when Willow spoke. The redhead opened her eyes and turned toward the shocked woman. “H-How did you...,” Tara trailed off as Willow shrugged and smiled. “I just knew.”



Smiling and somewhat amazed, Tara pushed off the wall and handed Willow her drink, before sitting on the couch. “I really didn’t expect you to be the type to listen to this kind of music,” Willow confessed and earned a raised eyebrow from Tara. “Well,” Willow paused, “it’s not exactly your typical variety of lesbian music.”



As soon as Willow had finished, Tara almost choked on her soda, “Lesbian music? There’s actually a such thing as ‘lesbian music’?”



“Well, no. I mean, I don’t think there is,” Willow frowned and shook her head, “okay, that’s not what I meant to say. I meant... you know... slow and melodic. Kind of like Sarah Mclachlan... or something like that.”



“I see,” Tara spoke with a hint of mirth, “and do you happen to own any of this so-called lesbian music?”



Willow noticed the playful spark in Tara’s eyes, “Yes, but I occasionally like to branch out,” she stood up and extended her arm, “dance with me?” She asked and wiggled her fingers toward the sitting blonde.



“Um, Willow, this isn’t really something you can slow dance to,” Tara stared at Willow’s hand before reaching out. “Sure it is,” Willow’s mouth curved into a grin, “and who said anything about slow dancing.” She grasped Tara’s hand with one hand and turned the volume of the stereo up with the other.



The fast electronic beats poured into the room and Tara bit her lip nervously. It was one thing to dance alone in her apartment where no one could see her, and completely different to do it in front of others... especially Willow. However, all doubt left her mind once Willow began to move against her. Her body was automatically drawn to the redhead and she began to grind into Willow as their movement became synchronized.



Clearing her mind, Tara was so focused on the thigh between hers, that at first she didn’t notice the dark tint in Willow’s green eyes. The redhead’s arousal shot through her in waves and she moaned, pulling Willow tighter. Willow in turn, grabbed the blonde’s hips and pushed down as her own body rocked upward. The incessant rubbing and soft material of their clothing, provided both girls with a little friction as they continued to move together. When Tara threw her head back in pleasure, Willow seized the opportunity and latched onto the smooth skin of her neck.



Unable to keep her balance, Tara stumbled forward and both girls wobbled until they reached the couch. With the redhead landing on the bottom, Willow continued to kiss across Tara’s neck until the blonde let out a soft whimper and pulled away. Not missing a second, Tara smashed her lips against Willow’s and bucked into the leg that was still firmly planted between her thighs. Willow’s aggressive tongue fought its way into Tara’s mouth and the redhead gasped as more desire pooled from her body.



Swirling her tongue around the slick flesh, Tara pressed her knee up until it connected with the apex between Willow’s legs. Both girls continued to grind and grunt until Willow’s pace slowed and she sighed in frustration. Tara also slowed her movement and rested her forehead against Willow’s.



When their bodies stilled completely, Willow panted, “I...,” she struggled to speak, “do you...,” she was silenced by Tara’s slender finger. The blonde nodded and crawled from atop Willow’s prone body and reached for her hand. No words were spoken as she led the woman down the dark hall.
