Chapter 56

********

Previously:

Tara took her girlfriend’s hand and closed her eyes without hesitation. Willow walked her carefully towards where she had the surprise set up. The walk was quiet and Willow could feel Tara’s excitement, which was making her excited as well.


When they arrived at the spot, Willow covered Tara’s eyes from behind with her hands and turned her into it, then pulled them away for effect.


“Voilà!”





Tara blinked a few times as she took in the scene laid out in front of her.


They were inside a secluded area of hedge and bushes with flowers dotting the borders, like their own private garden. A blue, dome-shaped tent was stretched out and hammered into the ground and an area was laid out beside it with a blanket, cooler and another metal box. Of all of the things Tara thought to expect, it certainly wasn’t that.


“You said you wanted to sleep under the stars,” Willow piped up beside her, getting nervous that her surprise wasn’t well-received when all she was met with was silence.


She watched as Tara, looking stunned, brought her hands up to cover her mouth. Willow avoided her gaze and went to grab the tent bag.


“I can pack it up, it’s no big deal.”


Tara turned to Willow, eyes glassy, and finally pulled her into a hug. She was overcome with the thought and effort put behind the gesture.


“Thank you so much,” she whispered, arms squeezing Willow tight to her, “I love you so much, I can't believe you did this. I love you so much.”


Willow was surprised with the emotion dripping from Tara’s voice, but was thrilled by her reaction. She returned the hug with as much warmth and lovingly caressed Tara’s hair for a few moments before linking their fingers together and gently pulled her towards the tent.


“Come on, let me show you ‘round our new digs.”


Tara discreetly wiped her eyes with the end of her sleeve to hide the tear of joy that had formed in the corner. She smiled as Willow unzipped the opening of the tent and followed Willow, crawling inside. The grass was soft beneath it and Tara noticed two sleeping bags were rolled in the corner next to an overnight bag. She sat right in the middle and patted around her, noticing the softness of the grass extended all over.


“It’s cosy.”


Willow nodded, sitting close beside her.


“Yeah, it’s nice and warm. Well, for a tent. But we can keep each other warm.”


Tara took Willow’s hand and did a playful tickle of her palm by drawing quick circles.


“Honey, this must have been so expensive.”


Willow grinned.


“Nope, Lucas had all the gear and let me borrow it if I let him loose on my DVD collection. Quid pro quo and quitsies. No cash.”


Tara smiled and leaned over to peck Willow’s lips.


“You are magnificent.”


Willow put her hand on the back of Tara’s neck and kissed her again, long and slow, both savouring the moment.


“If I am, it's because you make me want to be. I love you more than anything and I'm kind of in awe we're having our one year anniversary right now. I have the same butterflies from the first time I saw you but feel like I've known you forever too.”


Tara lifted her hand and brushed two fingers across Willow's cheek.


“You're the sweetest-” she started, but her voice caught and she ducked her head to cover her glassy eyes.


“Hey...” Willow said, lifting Tara's chin and tenderly wiping her eyes.


She hugged Tara again and when she heard the sniffles stop, she held her girlfriend's cheeks gently and kissed her. Tara relaxed and they kissed slowly, exchanging wordless sentiments, then playful nips. Willow was the first to break with a giggle but Tara was less than a second behind and they shared flushing cheeks. Willow swooped in for a last kiss while sliding her hand down Tara's thigh. She stopped at the knee and squeezed.


“Kick your shoes off, come sit with me outside.”


Tara obliged and slipped her shoes off into the corner, then crawled back outside. Willow gallantly motioned her ahead, with absolutely no hidden agenda of enjoying the inevitable butt-wiggling that would ensue.


She resisted the urge to reach out and pinch but did get in a soft squeeze disguised as support when Tara turned to sit on the blanket. She rubbed the small of Tara’s back, thoroughly pleased with herself. She kissed Tara’s cheek, feeling quite enamoured and in love.


“You’re gonna get lots of those tonight,” Tara said back, suggestively trailing a hand down and off Willow’s arm.


Willow watched Tara’s hand as it caressed her, breath slightly caught. She blushed and looked down to hide her cheesy grin before finally lifting her gaze to meet Tara’s eye.


“You’re making me blush.”


Tara’s lips quirked just ever so slightly on one side.


“I’m just looking at you.”


Willow rolled her eyes playfully.


“You’re not just looking at me, you’re looking at me.”


Tara reached up and delicately tucked a piece of hair behind Willow’s ear.


“I like looking at you.”


She leaned over and returned the cheek kiss, then brushed her lips along Willow’s jaw and down to her ear.


“A lot,” she whispered, tongue just brushing Willow’s lobe, so light Willow wasn't even sure it happened.


It still made her belly do flip flops.


“Those butterflies are turning to bats. But pretty ones, not mean nervy ones.”


Tara loved the affect she was having on Willow, and was looking forward to continuing it. She decided she’d spend the evening using all of her womanly wiles and vast Willow-knowledge to give back some of the emotion her girlfriend had so thoughtfully gifted to her.


Willow was all in a fluster, though she secretly loved it too. Still, her flushing cheeks were just getting redder, so she made a quick shuffle over to the cooler to get a bottle of water.


“So, um, I brought snacks, and Lucas had this gas cooking set thing.”


She dragged the metal box over and flipped the lid, where a small, flat gas cooker and some old but functional pots were sitting inside.


“So I got hot dogs and some beans and eggs and bread for the morning,” she said, then smiled softly up at Tara, “…and if it fails miserably, there’s a P.F. Chang's across the street.”


Tara laughed as Willow showed her the cans.


“I haven’t had franks and beans in a long time.”


“It was a Willow-speciality in middle school,” Willow replied, taking out the cooker to see if she could work it out, “‘Til I moved onto fancy take-out pizza.”


The cooker turned out to be as simple as intended and Willow had the hot dogs and beans cooking in just a few minutes.


“This is fun!” Willow commented as she stirred the mixture around, “Am I being too big of a goof for you?”


“You are just the right amount of goof,” Tara answered lovingly, covering Willow’s other hand on the blanket and giving it a squeeze.


Willow blushed lightly and wiggled her fingers against Tara’s affectionately.


“Okay, I need to set us up for our romantic valenversary meal…”


Tara watched as Willow went over to the cooler and reached to help but was swatted away. She took the hint and let Willow look after settling them up an al fresco experience, complete with paper plates, plastic cutlery and a candle lantern in the middle.


Tara was once again completely touched with the effort Willow had gone to, to make the evening special.


“I forgot wonderful.”


Willow looked up, a cardboard box in one hand and small, sealed plastic in the other.


“Huh?”


“Wonderful,” Tara repeated, “I forgot to say you were wonderful.”


Willow blushed all over again and couldn’t stop smiling. She opened the box and put a couple of slices of cracker toast on each of their plates, then spooned the mixture from the container; a tomato salad mix.


“A bruschetta of sorts…kinda,” she said, keeping the salad mix as neat as possible, “Best I could do. There’s an awesome deli not far from here. Got some great sandwich fixings for later.”


She gave the pot another stir, which was starting to bubble nicely.


“This looks yummy,” Tara said, picking up one of her bruschettas.


Willow waited until Tara took her first bite and gave her the thumbs up before trying her own, able to relax knowing her girlfriend was enjoying it.


She tended to the pot as they ate, keeping the frank and beans warm until they finished. She dished them each out a generous serving, but wasn’t too enthused with the appearance. She poked a piece of hot dog on her plate, then pushed it around some beans. She finally took a forkful and almost spit it back out.


“Yuck, this is disgusting.”


Tara had been trying to be polite, but had to take a large glug of water as she swallowed her first bite.


“I’m sorry honey, it really is.”


Willow took their plates and tossed them in her designated trash bag. She smiled sheepishly.


“Will I go get take-out?”


Tara shook her head.


“Let’s just make those sandwiches.”


Willow was relieved their whole evening wasn’t ruined and got out the sandwich fillings and packet condiments she’d gotten from the deli, as well as some fresh-baked, tearable bread.


The sun was starting to set as they layered on some meats and cheeses to their bread, turning the sky a soft mix of orange and red.


“This part of sunset always reminds me of you,” Tara said, chewing a piece of crust in the corner of her mouth, “Your hair and your beauty and your vibrancy.”


“Even though I messed up dinner?” Willow asked, though didn’t seem too cut up about it.


Tara smiled and held up her sandwich.


“I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m thoroughly enjoying our meal.”


They traded off some bites of each other’s sandwiches and fed each other some olives until they had had their fill. Tara shook out the blanket but was stopped when she went to lie down on it.


“Wait, wait, wait. I have the best dessert ever and it is guaranteed not to go wrong.”


Tara watched Willow take out some graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows.


“Oh, I know what you’re making. Those s’more things.”


“Yeah, ‘those s’more things’,” Willow replied with a chuckle, then looked up to see the somewhat-blank expression on her girlfriend’s face, “Wait…you’ve never had a s’more? Ever?”


Tara shrugged shyly.


“I think you gave me a bite of a pop-tart with that flavour once.”


Willow’s eyes went wide.


“I’m not one to denigrate the almighty pop-tart, but they don’t hold a candle to the real thing!” she said, expertly breaking the cracker in two and layering the chocolate on so they were ready, “Here, melt your marshmallow. 10 seconds each side is the golden ratio.”


Tara took the offered marshmallows on a skewer and held it over the small flames from the gas cooker. Willow did the same and they smiled at each other as their marshmallows hit off each other and melted together.


“Okay, now smush them into the chocolate and make the sandwich!”


Tara followed the instruction and made up the concoction. She pressed the crackers together as much as possible so she could get her mouth around it, then took a big bite, managing to keep the gooey overspill in her hands and off her clothes.


“This is very good,” she said through a mouthful of crunch and melted chocolate.


“Nothin’ better!” Willow replied, chocolate and marshmallow smeared all over her lips.


Tara moved her foot over to Willow’s shin and ran it up and down gently.


“I can think of some things that are better…”


Willow almost choked on the last piece of her s’more, but recovered enough to only go the colour of a Pink Lady and not full-blown tomato. She felt Tara’s foot move under her jeans, the delicate material of her girlfriend’s tights almost thin enough to not be felt at all.


She gulped down half of her water to get that last piece of graham cracker down her throat, then wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.


“Note to self, tents make you all kinds of hot and bothered.”


Tara blushed lightly, but with an adoring and genuine smile.


“No. Knowing how much you love me does.”


Willow reached over and used her thumb to wipe some chocolate from the corner of Tara’s mouth.


“My love for you is an irrational number,” she said in all sincerity but had to grin when Tara returned a questioning look, “It never terminates.”


They shared a smile for a few moments, then Willow started to make another s’more for them to share.


“So you like the s’mores?”


Tara nodded as Willow added an extra square of chocolate.


“I used to make these over the Bunsen burner in my home chemistry kit. Felt like I was a girl scout or something.”


“You’d be cute in that uniform,” Tara replied, taking the half-a-s’more as it was handed to her.


Willow rolled her eyes playfully.


“Jeez, enough already woman, there’s only so much sexy I should be allowed to feel at one time. Don’t want to get a big head.”


Tara’s crooked grin came back.


“Would that mean a big ton–”


“Oh my god!” Willow interrupted, getting in a fresh fluster all over again, “Stop!”


Tara leaned right over so she was whispering in Willow’s ear.


“You like it when I talk like this.”


Willow more than ‘liked’ it, but was having fun with their back-and-forth.


“Not when I’m trying to be all romantic!”


Tara spent a moment trying to stop herself grinning before returning to her demure state.


“I have to get something.”


Willow was busy licking her fingers while Tara went into the tent, but then dropped slowly when she saw Tara come back out holding a small, square velvet box.


“Oh my god! I forgot to get you a present! I-I was so busy thinking about this stuff, I completely forgot! Dammit! I’ll go now, something must be open!”


She was already on her feet and looking all around for her purse but Tara stopped her and took her hands.


“Willow, everything you did here is the most amazing present I’ve ever received,” she said, then added on with a soft smile, “You’re the greatest gift I’ve ever received.”


Willow felt her heart warmed but her head was still hanging down.


“I feel so bad. I meant to, I totally meant to.”


“Don’t. Please don’t,” Tara replied, pressing their bodies together and smiling sweetly, “For me? You’ve done so much.”


Willow could deny that smile nothing. She nodded.


“‘Kay. I’m glad you like all this. I will get you something.”


Tara guided Willow to sit back down.


“I do, very much. And I don’t have to give you your present if you don’t want…” she said, toying with the box in her palm, “B-but I’d like to.”


Willow nodded again that it was okay and held out her hand to receive it. Tara took Willow’s hand first and kissed it, then left the square box in it.


Willow brushed her thumb across the soft velvet for a moment, recognising the box as the type she’d been gifted earrings to on her 13th, 16th and 18th birthdays respectively from her father. She’d appreciated being given an actual gift and not cash or savings bonds shoved into a card. The only other physical gift she’d received was a Kiddush cup for her Bat Mitzvah, but it had only ever served as an ornament on her shelf.


She had worn her 13th birthday earrings every day until her 16th birthday; her 16th birthday earrings every day until her 18th; and her 18th birthday earrings right up until the last time she’d spoken to her parents. She had kept them, but didn’t wear them any longer.


Her interest in jewellery had been renewed when Tara had begun gifting her with some again, but it meant so much more to her than any time before. Her jewellery box overflowed with trinkets Tara bought and made for her, and Willow made sure she had at least one piece on her every day.


A heart-shaped broach decorated modestly with rose quartz beads and pearls sat on her sweater right then as her piece of day.


All these thoughts ran through her head in the few seconds she fondled the box, before finally pushing the hinge up so it popped open.


The earrings she was expecting weren't inside.


But a perfectly shiny ring was.


Willow’s eyes nearly fell out of her head. She plucked the ring from the soft cushioning inside and held it with both hands; thumb and index fingers clasping it gently in front of her.


It was made from hard wire but looked like pure silver, delicately woven in the ring shape in intricate detail. On top were two gems, one sapphire and one emerald, cut into a half-heart shape each and glued together, though the lacing seemed quite flawless. The cut of the gems themselves were slightly rough, but nothing that would be noticed without really looking for it or touching the edges.


Willow stared at it for several long seconds before she was forced to blink and looked up to her girlfriend, question in her eyes.


“Tara?”


“It’s a promise ring,” Tara said shyly, looking between Willow and the blanket, “I promise to love you for as long as you’ll let me, to be yours as long as you want me. You gave me that ring you won, I wanted to give one back.”


Willow was struggling to keep a lump in her throat under control, made all the harder with the oh-so-earnest smile on Tara’s face.


“How …?” she asked, swallowing repeatedly to get it out.


“I made it,” Tara replied, as if she’d just made Willow a paper plane and not an intricate piece of jewellery.


Willow gaped in disbelief. The ring was on a whole new level to every other handmade piece she’d gotten.


“You made…this?”


“Well, with some help from the metalwork guys, they we very useful with the soldering and stuff,” Tara replied, her tone minimising the weeks of work she’d put into the gift, “Do you like it?”


“Like it?” Willow asked, smile lighting up her face, “I adore it!”


Tara was delighted and took the ring to slide it onto Willow’s right ring finger. She adjusted it slightly, then touched the broach.


“You’re all hearts today.”


Willow took a moment to admire the ring on her finger, then lifted her hand and placed her palm flat over Tara’s heart.


“And this is the most important one. This is the one I’ll treasure forever.”


Tara put her hand over Willow’s and rubbed her thumb over her girlfriend’s skin, then gently tugged her closer to kiss.


She lay down on her back and kept her hand over Willow’s to pull her down too. Her fingers brushed against Willow’s, then she clasped her girlfriend’s palm and moved it down and to her thigh.


Willow pushed her fingertips along Tara’s smooth skin, pushing the fabric up as she went. She stopped just shy of touching Tara’s panties.


“It’s okay if you’re not comfortable,” she whispered against her girlfriend’s lips, “I’m not expecting anything.”


Tara could feel herself growing wet already and knew there was no way she would be denying Willow that night. She pulled on Willow’s sweater and brought their lips close enough to brush without kissing. They shared breath for a moment before she whispered, voice already gruff.


“Take me to the tent.”

Hi Laragh

I've just read this the whole way through. I love it, it's so sweet! I haven't read HC or FC yet as I saw this first and I thought it would be better to read in sequence.

Willow is so incredibly romantic, the Valentines/Anniversary date was perfect! I love how you have written Tara, so painfully shy to start off with but now Willow is slowly bringing her out of her shell, the "Fuck me" on Tara's birthday was a case in point. Oh and the wink from the hotel maid was so funny!

Sorry I'm so late with this feedback Laragh, I didn't get to the chapter till quite late on.

Glad to hear you're feeling much better Laragh, it's no fun being ill over the festive period, you just feel all icky which is not of the good.

She looked at the card curiously for a second, then picked it up and read the neat, familiar scrawl on it.

You say you’ll always find me…can you tonight?

(turn me over)

Tara was perplexed as to what the message meant, but obliged and turned the card over.

Go to where I feel most safe, my favourite place in time and space.


It's the Tardis, it's the Tardis :p

“We've only started. Close your eyes and trust me?”

Tara took her girlfriend’s hand and closed her eyes without hesitation. Willow walked her carefully towards where she had the surprise set up. The walk was quiet and Willow could feel Tara’s excitement, which was making her excited as well.

When they arrived at the spot, Willow covered Tara’s eyes from behind with her hands and turned her into it, then pulled them away for effect.

“Voilà!”


O.M.G. And I thought the previous chapter was fantastic but this one supersedes it for sweetness and loving. Willow's valenversary idea was so brilliantly done and an amazing end where we are left to wonder what the rest of Willow's surprise is. Again I wish they had shown this on BtVS, or perhaps Joss should have let the girl's have their own show.

Just. Truly. Awesome.

Willow's surprise valenversary gift to Tara is so wonderful and it's obvious from Tara's reaction that it was far more than she ever expected.

I just realised that they must have had a valenversary because their first year anniversary falls near Valentines day but it's then it's gonna pretty chilly camping beneath the stars at that time of year, even in sleeping bags in a tent.

Willow gallantly motioned her ahead, with absolutely no hidden agenda of enjoying the inevitable butt-wiggling that would ensue.

Of course not, because Willow would never dare think of treating Tara as an object to be ogled. :wink


“I think you gave me a bite of a pop-tart with that flavour once.”

I once tried a s'mores pop tart, have to say it didn't taste too appealing.


Tara moved her foot over to Willow’s shin and ran it up and down gently.
“I can think of some things that are better…”


Tara's back with the spicy talk. :)

Sad hearing about the earrings and how Willow stopped wearing them after she'd stopped speaking to her parents. Presumaby she started wearing them again in FC.

It was sweet of Tara to make the ring for Willow as her valenversary gift.


A sweet little chapter as we finally learn what Willow's gift to Tara actually is as well as learning how bad her cooking is :)

Hi Laragh


Hi Kim :)

I've just read this the whole way through. I love it, it's so sweet! I haven't read HC or FC yet as I saw this first and I thought it would be better to read in sequence.


I'd be super interested to hear what you think when it's all done since most feedback I get is reading as written!

Willow is so incredibly romantic, the Valentines/Anniversary date was perfect!


I think they both love romance, which is a pretty fun situation to be in (unless you hate romance, I suppose...)

I love how you have written Tara, so painfully shy to start off with but now Willow is slowly bringing her out of her shell, the "Fuck me" on Tara's birthday was a case in point. Oh and the wink from the hotel maid was so funny!


I think I said to you on that smorgasbord of a PM I sent that I like the bringing them out of their shells dynamic and I had an interesting lead to go with on this one because I have Tara be a more confident person by the start of the first of these I wrote (HC). So for me, getting her from the place they met to the place they are when that fic starts is really fun to work out.

Thanks for your feedback :)

Sorry I'm so late with this feedback Laragh, I didn't get to the chapter till quite late on.


That's quite alright :)

Glad to hear you're feeling much better Laragh, it's no fun being ill over the festive period, you just feel all icky which is not of the good.


You're right, but thank you for the well wishes, I'm feeling good!

It's the Tardis, it's the Tardis :p


It was, kinda!

O.M.G. And I thought the previous chapter was fantastic but this one supersedes it for sweetness and loving. Willow's valenversary idea was so brilliantly done and an amazing end where we are left to wonder what the rest of Willow's surprise is. Again I wish they had shown this on BtVS, or perhaps Joss should have let the girl's have their own show.

Just. Truly. Awesome.


Glad you enjoyed it! I have my own little television going on in my head where I let these kinda things play, it's almost as good as the real thing!

Willow's surprise valenversary gift to Tara is so wonderful and it's obvious from Tara's reaction that it was far more than she ever expected.


It was, she was truly blown away!

I just realised that they must have had a valenversary because their first year anniversary falls near Valentines day but it's then it's gonna pretty chilly camping beneath the stars at that time of year, even in sleeping bags in a tent.


A little chilly, but they'll keep each other warm!

Of course not, because Willow would never dare think of treating Tara as an object to be ogled. :wink


Ogling and objectivism needn't always be the same thing...

I once tried a s'mores pop tart, have to say it didn't taste too appealing.


I love a nice s'mores pop tart, but real s'mores are so much better.

Tara's back with the spicy talk. :)


Yes she is!

Sad hearing about the earrings and how Willow stopped wearing them after she'd stopped speaking to her parents. Presumaby she started wearing them again in FC.


Maybe!

It was sweet of Tara to make the ring for Willow as her valenversary gift.


She's a sweetie

A sweet little chapter as we finally learn what Willow's gift to Tara actually is as well as learning how bad her cooking is :)


Her cooking will get better...eventually :P

Chapter 57

********

Previously:

Tara put her hand over Willow’s and rubbed her thumb over her girlfriend’s skin, then gently tugged her closer to kiss.


She lay down on her back and kept her hand over Willow’s to pull her down too. Her fingers brushed against Willow’s, then she clasped her girlfriend’s palm and moved it down and to her thigh.


Willow pushed her fingertips along Tara’s smooth skin, pushing the fabric up as she went. She stopped just shy of touching Tara’s panties.


“It’s okay if you’re not comfortable,” she whispered against her girlfriend’s lips, “I’m not expecting anything.”


Tara could feel herself growing wet already and knew there was no way she would be denying Willow that night. She pulled on Willow’s sweater and brought their lips close enough to brush without kissing. They shared breath for a moment before she whispered, voice already gruff.


“Take me to the tent.”






Willow didn’t need to be told twice and quickly jumped up on the spot. She offered Tara a hand up, who took it and demurely straightened her dress as she stood. Willow felt a pulse between her legs as she imagined getting under that dress and ripping it off; so she quickly put an arm around Tara’s waist and used the other to hoist up the blanket and grab the candle lantern.


She struggled to unzip the tent with her hands full, but was determined to do it. She held the flap open for Tara to step in and enjoyed watching her bend to fit, then joined her and zipped them up again.


“Lemme just…”


She put the lantern down in a corner and made sure it was secure so it would be safe if it toppled over during their ‘activity’. She threw the blanket out and smoothed it down, but it was just another thin layer between them and the ground.


“I’ll take the ground so you’re comfortable.”


Tara put a hand between Willow’s shoulder blades and let it drop down slowly, then up again to brush her fingers against the nape of her girlfriend's neck.


“You’ve done so much...the least I can do is be an anchor.”


“I don’t mind, really,” Willow was quick to reassure, her stomach doing flips as Tara caressed her, “I mean, gonna be pretty distracted anyway. Hands and...stuff.”


Tara dragged one finger around to the hollow of Willow's throat, then pressed her lips into the same spot. While Willow was lolling her head back, Tara noticed the sleeping bags tucked away in the corner and moved off to retrieve them.


Willow looked around, confused, when Tara moved away but enjoyed watching her butt wiggle. Tara grabbed one of the sleeping bags and turned around with it, smiling.


“We can lie on one of these. Much more comfortable.”


She unrolled it on the spot, but Willow didn’t look enthused.


“It's very, um…rectangular,” she said, then added on with a blush, “You know, if we want to…move around a bit.”


Tara fiddled with the zipper on the side.


“Do they unzip all the way?”


Willow’s eyes lit up.


“Genius!” she said, quickly unzipping it into a flat blanket, “And that way we can unzip the other one on top and we can cuddle properly!”


Tara put a hand on Willow's lower back, then let it drop to her buttocks and squeezed her cheek.


“Cuddling is a while away yet.”


Willow was mid-reach for the second sleeping bag to unzip it, and after a moment’s hesitation and slight jump from surprise, grabbed it and made a show of twisting her hips the same way Tara had.


Tara watched, transfixed for a moment, then grabbed Willow’s waist and pulled her back.


“You’re doing that on purpose.”


Willow abandoned the sleeping bag and spun back around on her knees. She put her hands on Tara’s shoulders and shuffled in so they were almost touching.


“What if I was? So were you.”


Tara grabbed Willow’s butt and pulled them the last inch together.


“Me? I didn't do anything,” she replied in such a way that Willow couldn't tell if she was being earnest or flirty, “You on the other hand, you know how damn sexy you are.”


Willow lifted her hand and brushed the backs of her fingers against Tara’s cheek.


“I know how you make me feel.”


Tara slipped her hands up and under Willow’s sweater, slowly caressing her spine upwards as she lifted the clothing from her body. Willow let herself be guided down by Tara’s body and quivered when soft lips met the skin on her shoulder and moved inwards.


She shimmied out of her pants when Tara popped the button, and her hands got to quick work to divest Tara of her clothing too. She bunched up Tara’s dress and ran her palms along the backs of her girlfriend’s thighs before bringing her hands up again to pull the zipper down.


Tara sat back to help with the disrobing, but her head popped up against the top of the tent, making the material bulge.


“You okay?” Willow asked, sitting up slightly as Tara cowered down, “We’ll have to work with limited space.”


Tara angled herself back over Willow and pressed their hips together.


“I’m not going to complain about having to be close to you.”


Willow could feel Tara’s heat even through their panties and made quick work of pulling her girlfriend’s dress the rest of the way off her body. She was pleased to see Tara had made use of the in-built bra and had neglected to don another.


Her hands honed in on Tara’s breasts, moulding them around her palms and catching the nipples between her fingers.


Tara pressed kisses along Willow’s jaw and gently grinded atop her. She felt a flutter each time their bellies connected and rush of heat as their thighs brushed past each other.


She kissed Willow with all the passion stirring within her, pushing her tongue past her girlfriend's teeth.


Willow was momentarily overcome with the intensity of the kiss but was quick to give back. Her hands tangled in Tara’s hair and she pulled her girlfriend as close as possible. They were taking wisps of breath in, breaking only for the briefest second when Willow rolled them over so she was on top.


Tara’s caressed Willow’s lower back, pushing under the waistband of her panties, then dragged her fingertips along her girlfriend’s spine and up to unhook her bra.


Willow lifted her body for a second when Tara tugged her bra off, then settled back down to feel the press of their chests together, one of her most favourite sensations in the world.


She pushed forward a few times to make sure she was getting the best, what she called, squishability factor and let Tara swallow the moans she produced in response.


Tara shivered with each fleeting contact of their aroused nipples against each other. She was squirming in her panties and wetness was seeping through onto Willow’s thigh.


She bent her knee and rubbed herself a little more insistently, subconsciously at first but with more intention as it went on.


Willow got the hint pretty quickly and separated to sit back. She put her hands inside either side of Tara’s panties and dragged them down and off. She started to take her position again, but was stopped with a poke to the shoulder and a point to her own underwear.


She grinned.


“If you want them off, you’re gonna have to come here and get them.”


Tara grinned back and pulled Willow down, then climbed on top of her.


“Is that a challenge?” she asked, moving as if to kiss her but pulling away the millisecond before they connected and speaking in that same breath, “You know how much I like a challenge.”


Willow gulped slowly, taking in a breath to slow her hammering heart. She loved Tara’s assertive side and she loved even more that she was the only one to see it.


My Tara…all mine.


She decided to keep up the little game and crossed her legs as an obstacle, though her grin gave her away.


Tara pried Willow’s thighs apart with ease, not meeting much resistance. Willow thought about wiggling away, but amusement gave way to desire and she let, and helped, in getting that last barrier between them off.


Tara ran her hands from Willow’s ankles to her thighs, then fell off at her stomach. Willow caught the hands as they fell, twined their fingers and gave her a gentle tug back on top of her.


They both enjoyed the settling period of getting comfortable and letting their bodies caress each other.


Tara was slower to settle, worried Willow was taking the brunt of the hard ground beneath them.


“Are you comfortable? Do you want the other sleeping bag? Am I putting too much weight on you?”


“Yes, no, and definitely not,” Willow answered in order, then smiled, “But thank you for caring.”


Tara bumped and nuzzled Willow’s nose.


“Nothing I care about more.”


They started to kiss again; slower this time, languidly building their passion again. Willow’s hands moved in Tara’s hair and down her back, while Tara’s hands found Willow’s hidden curves and took her fill of them.


Tara was the first to delve between Willow’s legs, getting her fingers wet and rubbing them over her girlfriend’s clit. Willow spread her legs and took a handful of Tara’s hair in surprise.


Tara gently bit Willow’s bottom lip in response and she felt a gush of arousal near her fingers. She started to massage her girlfriend’s opening and pulled more of that warmth from her, feeling a deep pulse of desire between her own legs.


Willow noticed Tara’s hips push into her with that particular needy force. She let her fingers join Tara’s, the backs of their hands brushing off each other as she found her girlfriend’s bud and returned the rub.


“Mmhh…ahh,” Tara moaned softly, through kisses to Willow’s lips and neck.


Willow loved when that sound floated to her ears; it was like a switch to release the floodgates. She gripped the skin on Tara’s back, tight.


“Tara, take me. Please god, take me.”


Tara shifted her weight slightly to get more comfortable, then rested her forehead against Willow’s. They both had slightly moist brows and red cheeks, but were focused on each other’s eyes.


Willow was captivated by Tara’s intensity, her breath catching between each soft brushing of their lips. Her neck strained back when Tara entered her, and her hips moved of their own accord to take as much as she could.


She was still rubbing Tara’s clit but realised between clenches that she wasn’t giving as much as she was receiving. She put her spare arm around Tara’s neck and spread her legs wide for access, then sped up the pace of her fingers.


Tara's body kept the pace. The rhythmic movement pushed her head up into the ceiling of the tent as it had earlier, making it bulge out with every thrust. For some reason, Willow found this, and Tara's complete lack of awareness of it, extremely comical. She turned her head away to stop from laughing but still ending up snorting.


Tara’s hips continued to move but glanced down at Willow, blinking through the haze.


“Are you laughing at me?” she asked breathlessly.


Willow dropped her hand to her mouth to try and stop.


“Sorry…head…going through tent…looks funny…sorry.”


She held her breath, wondering how long it would take for Tara to declare the mood officially ruined, but instead just got a slow smile. Her mouth was kept busy as Tara kissed her again, deepening it straight away.


Their bodies were slick with sweat, bumping and grinding in the throes of passion until they were both quivering with anticipation of release. They were locked by the waist and mouth; the air almost sticky around them with their combined heat.


Willow came first, knee digging into Tara’s buttocks; the added pressure sending Tara over with a gruff moan. They rocked together, catching their breath into stillness, until Tara was just lying on Willow’s chest.


Willow bent a knee up and blew a piece of sweaty hair from her brow, while her fingertips danced along Tara’s spine.


“Mmm, baby…that was in-tents,” she said, giggling and giving herself away, “Geddit?”


It took Tara a second but she finally grinned and lifted her head to look at Willow.


“You’re lucky you look so good naked.”


Willow blushed, but was grinning from ear-to-ear.


“I didn’t even show you the best part yet.”


Tara glanced down Willow’s body.


“Oh, I think I saw the best part.”


Willow’s blush extended further than her cheeks but she pushed past it and reached up to the ceiling of the tent, where there was an square-shaped zipper. She unzipped the three sides and the flap of material fell down to reveal a transparent patch of material so they could look up into the sky while still being protected.


“Look,” she said, sticking the flap to a piece of Velcro to secure it, “So we can really sleep under the stars.”


Tara looked out up at the window and watched the stars twinkle for a few moments. She was slightly overcome by how much effort Willow had gone to just to fulfil an offhand wish she’d expressed. By how much she was loved. By how much she loved Willow.


“I love you.”


It didn’t seem enough coming from her lips; it didn’t say all that needed to be said.


“I love you too, baby.”


But it was all she needed back. It was all she needed to hear.


She moved back over Willow again and kissed her with everything she couldn’t voice.


Willow actually felt herself lift at the intensity of the kiss and had to be careful not to slam her head back down. Her hands moved to Tara’s neck and pulled her in close, returning everything she was being given.


They stayed locked until Tara’s lungs were burning, but she wasn’t to be deterred and moved her way down Willow’s body while catching her breath. Willow offered little arches at each spot Tara kissed, but paused when her girlfriend moved in from her hips.


“I don’t think there’s room for tha--Wh-okay!”


She had to fight not to let her voice turn into a squeak as Tara tucked herself into a tight kneel to fit between Willow’s legs and started to hungrily devour her in a matter of seconds.


Tara didn’t look to be in the most comfortable of positions, but Willow’s eyes were too busy rolling back into her head to notice. She bucked up into Tara’s mouth, heat already coiling in her belly as her sensitive clit was bathed with a warm tongue.


“God, Tara…”


Her hand was on Tara’s head, encouraging every minute movement. Her thighs were squeezing Tara’s ears but she was sure her girlfriend could still hear her moan; she was doing nothing to reign herself in.


“Tara…mmmm…baby…mmmm…”


Tara licked Willow’s tender flesh as she felt the heat pour from her. Her head was rocking with Willow’s thighs through her girlfriend’s release and in the clean-up after.


She finally lifted her head and dislodged herself, lying back down and stretching her legs. Willow looked to her girlfriend and lazily blinked the haze from her vision. She snuggled in a little closer and noticed the stretching.


“Did that give you leg cramp?”


Tara popped a kiss on Willow’s lips.


“Worth it.”


Willow flapped her hand towards Tara’s leg.


“‘mere.”


She moved Tara’s leg so it was bent across her waist and started to massage between her knee and thigh.


“That’s nice,” Tara said softly, resting her cheek on Willow’s shoulder and pressing a soft kiss into her neck.


“You’re nice,” Willow replied, allowing her hand to follow the curve of Tara’s butt cheek and to tickle the base of her spine, “Verrrry nice.”


They cuddled quietly until Tara’s cramp was well and truly worked out and a shiver went through her. Willow gave Tara’s thigh a final squeeze, then reached for the second sleeping bag.


“Yeah, tents not so much with the temperature regulating,” she said, grabbing the overnight bag too, “I packed jammies, the nice warm ones.”


She passed over a pair and wiggled into some herself, before pulling out a pair of thick fluffy socks. She was just putting the first one on when she heard Tara’s voice right behind her ear.


“Willow…”


Willow knew that tone and stopped, mid-foot.


“I know you hate socks in bed…”


“I like playing with your feet,” Tara replied, reaching over and plucking the sock off.


“It’s cold,” Willow whined, pouting as the socks were thrown into the corner.


Tara pulled Willow over to her and rubbed their feet together.


“I’ll keep you warm.”


Willow couldn’t deny that was a favourable trade off and settled the second sleeping bag over them.


“Promise?”


“Don’t I always?” Tara asked, wiggling her toes against Willow’s.


Willow brushed some hair behind Tara’s ear then stroked down her arm.


“Yeah. You do.”


Tara had a hand on Willow’s hip and let her fingertips gently brush her skin under her top.


“This was the best valenversary I’ve ever had.”


“The best you’ve ever had, huh?” Willow asked with a smile that could be accused of stealing Tara’s curve, “I’m gonna remind you of that. A lot.”


Tara blushed but was matching the smile.


“Love you.”


Willow leaned right in so their foreheads were pressed together.


“I love you too. I’ve loved you every day I’ve known you. I’ll love you every day I know you.”


She pressed a soft and sweet kiss to Tara’s lips, lingering to stay in that moment of bliss. She parted by bringing her hand up and running her ring-embossed finger on Tara’s cheek.


“That’s what I promise.”


They kissed again, a tender reaffirmation of the words. Gentle caresses were exchanged until they were still and pressed as close together as possible.


They fell asleep under the stars as Tara had always dreamed; forging new dreams of their future with each other as they slept.

Hi Laragh :bigwave

Another great update, thank you :clap :bow

Loved this line:
“Cuddling is a while away yet.”


“Mmm, baby…that was in-tents,” she said, giggling and giving herself away, “Geddit?”

I let out a big LOL at that (it's also 5.30am here I'm trying not to wake everyone up!)

“Sorry…head…going through tent…looks funny…sorry.”

Laughing while making love...normally not cool but Willow somehow pulls it off!

Thanks to the lovely Kittens I now have a bucket list of things to do with my partner. Tent being in my top 10 now.

Thanks!
Kim

Hey Laragh :bigwave hope you're well

Willow looked around, confused, when Tara moved away but enjoyed watching her butt wiggle.

:sigh Tara's wiggly butt :drool

“Genius!” she said, quickly unzipping it into a flat blanket..."

That's what happens when you hang around with an eager beaver redhead :)

Tara put a hand on Willow's lower back, then let it drop to her buttocks and squeezed her cheek.

Ooh, saucy Tara. Again only from hanging with Willow.

'in-tents', such a bad joke from Willow. Are you sure she doesn't already know Xander in this timeline lol.

Such a great thing for Willow to do, get hold of, or make, a hole in the roof of the tent they're sleeping in just so Tara can see the stars.

Awww a sweet, sexy and loving chapter for our two favourite girls. Wonder what Tara's going to do to top it, though from Willow's satisfied sighs she probably already did

Chapter 58

********

Willow woke to the feeling of heat hitting the back of her head. She blinked once or twice, slowly, eyes trying to adjust to the burning. She finally opened them fully and looked up, only to be blinded by the sun pouring in the tent window.


Her hand shielded her eyes for a moment while she got the cover snapped back in place, but the sun had heated the plastic and she jumped when her skin hit against it.


She zipped it all up quick but wasn't able to stop Tara from stirring with all the movement.


Tara woke quicker than Willow had, quite aware of the persistent grinding into her rear; their shift to spooning during the night causing the friction from Willow's limited available space when moving. Tara wasn't at all adverse to the sensation however, and made no move to get out of the way.


Willow noticed the flicker of awakening in Tara's eyelids and facial muscles and quickly moved back to her big spoon position. She put her arm over Tara's waist and kissed the back of her neck, then trailed her lips over to her girlfriend's ear.


“Good morning, lover.”


Tara felt Willow's hand slide under her pyjama top and onto the skin of her stomach, imparting warmth everywhere along its journey. She slid her palm down Willow's forearm, then gently linked her fingers atop the ones dancing on her belly. She took in a soft but deep inhalation, appreciating each press of their, albeit clothed, bodies together.


“...great morning where I am.”


Willow loved the gruff in Tara's voice first thing in the morning and continued to kiss her ear and nuzzle her neck to show her appreciation.


“Did you sleep well?”


Tara sighed softly, utterly content in that moment.


“Very well...most wonderfully in fact.”


“Me too,” Willow replied, squeezing the tiny pouch of Tara’s belly, “Especially considering it was on the ground.”


Tara gently stretched herself, though not so much as to remove herself from Willow's hold.


“I woke up earlier, when the birds were chirping…but it was all so peaceful I just fell back asleep.”


Willow had a vague memory of a dream she’d had where Tara had been humming and wondered if that’s how her brain had interpreted the early morning bird sounds. She kissed Tara’s neck and along her shoulder blade; tiny lip caresses to her girlfriend’s skin, each press full of tenderness. Her hand rubbed Tara’s arm from shoulder to elbow and back, and her foot moved to caress her girlfriend's calf, but she stopped completely when her toes touched a familiar fluffy material.


“…what’s this?”


Tara’s eyes darted behind to Willow but she focused them forward again and cleared her throat.


“Nothing.”


Willow threw the blanket away from them and pointed down, wide-eyed, as her suspicions were confirmed.


“You’re wearing the socks!”


Tara's nose scrunched and she tried to curl her feet under herself.


“It was cold.”


“Oh it was cold was it?” Willow asked, delighted with this new arsenal, “So if I’m cold I can’t have them but if you’re cold, you can?


“You were asleep, I couldn’t get active foot-rubbing,” Tara said, trying to pull the socks off with her toes.


“You’ll pay for this,” Willow replied in her best maniacal voice, grabbing Tara’s feet and pulling them the rest of the way off, “For you see, you only know The Foot Rubber, but you’ve never met my alter ego…The Foot Tickler!”


Tara squealed as Willow launched her attack and had to take great care not to kick her in the face given the small space they were working in. She used her free arms to grab Willow and not-so-gracefully pin her.


Willow resisted the counter-movement at first, but gave it up when she felt Tara’s body pressing into her.


“Tara uses Full Body Attack…” she said in a playful, suggestive tone, eyes dropping for a moment to eye down the open v of Tara's pyjama top, “It’s verrrry effective.”


Tara slipped her hand under the waistband of Willow’s pj bottoms and palmed her thigh. She kissed her girlfriend until she felt complete surrender, then parted but stayed close enough to touch noses.


“What are you making me for breakfast?”


“Scrambled eggs on toast,” Willow answered diligently, making Tara smile.


“I was hoping I could have you.”


Willow blushed and averted her gaze.


“Right.”


Tara kissed each of those flushing cheeks, then moved off to stretch her limbs.


“Can I take a rain check?”


“You betcha,” Willow replied, happy to come back to the moment with less embarrassment.


She sat up and gave Tara’s cheek a quick peck before unzipping the tent door and heading out to start on breakfast.


Tara emerged after a few minutes, in her dress from the evening before and face lightly glistening from one of the make-up wipes Willow had packed.


Willow looked up and felt her heart flutter; she loved that fresh-out-of-bed look on Tara without the make-up she wore or her face hidden by her hairstyle of the day.


She couldn’t help but smile goofily and looked down to the eggs so she wouldn’t be caught out.


“Almost ready.”


“Good, I’m starving,” Tara replied, sitting cross-legged near Willow.


“Hope this turns out better than our first attempt at dinner!” Willow replied, dishing some egg onto a slice of bread and handing the paper plate to Tara, “Try it out.”


Tara just picked up the bread, folded it in half and took a bite. She gave Willow the thumbs up that it was good.


Willow let out a breath of relief and served herself up some as well. They both ate hungrily and devoured the rest of the bread and cold meats from their sandwiches the night before.


They ended up lying side-by-side on their backs, watching the sky while their food settled.


“This was wonderful,” Tara commented with a wistful sigh that turned into a smile, “I don’t know how you’re going to outdo yourself next year.”


Willow grinned.


“Oh, I’ll think of something.”


She twined her fingers with Tara’s between them and moved her head onto her girlfriend’s shoulder.


“This…this is what’s wonderful. When nothing exists but you and me.”

Tara lifted her other hand over and played with the ends of Willow’s hair. They both spent a long while just being in that moment and watching the clouds pass until eventually sitting up. They shared a hug a few whispered words, ending with a kiss and smiling faces.


“So, um, how do we lug this all back?” Tara asked, looking at the different parts of the tent that needed to be disassembled.


“Oh well the chest goes into the cooler, which has wheels, the tent all folds away into this bag thing, it’s actually not that bad. I did get a cab here though and I kinda insist on getting one back,” Willow replied with a tiny shrug, “Why don’t you go get us some coffees and I’ll have it done by the time you get back.”


Tara shook her head.


“I’m not just going to lump you with it all.”


Willow got a $10 bill from her wallet and handed it to Tara.


“I insist.”


Tara folded the bill into her side pocket.


“You’re very insistent today.”


Willow bent her hands onto her hips.


“Yes I am. Now scoot.”


She gestured with her hands for Tara to skedaddle, who did, much to Willow’s relief. She’d made quite the show of herself trying to erect the tent and didn’t feel the need for an audience in getting it down.


She changed out of her pyjamas lighting fast and took everything from the tent as she exited. She piled it up neatly and then went about the arduous task of removing all of the pegs. She’d used more strength than she realised she had in planting them and fell on her ass a respectable three times whilst trying to pull each from the ground.


Once those were up and put back in their little pouch, she found de-poling the tent a whole lot easier than putting them in. They all packed away into their pouch and she was easily able to fold everything into the tent itself and zipped back into the rectangular bag it all came in.


She was quite proud that she’d turned the little bundle into a tent and back into the bundle again.


Go me. Only a semi-uncoordinated doofus.


She finished just in time, as Tara came back into their secluded spot carrying two Styrofoam cups. She gave one to Willow and held the other with both hands, looking at the much neater set-up to what she'd left.


“Wow, I’m impressed.”


Willow all but flexed her muscles on the spot as she showed off how much she could carry on her back.


“Hey, hey,” Tara protested, “Let me take something at least.”


Willow offered her one sleeping bag, but Tara grabbed them both with the overnight bag and the handle of the cooler to drag behind them. Willow didn’t argue since they were light and the cooler had wheels.


“Ready to head back into civilisation?” Willow asked with a joking smile.


“I don’t know if I can adjust, it’s been so long…” Tara joked back, then smiled softly, “Long as I have you.”


“You’ll always have me,” Willow replied, bumping Tara’s hip as they walked back through the greenery to the main walkway, “You know I really felt like we were deep in the forest or something back there. I stalked this place for days trying to find that spot, though.”


“You are a great spot finder,” Tara replied, completely genuine, “The best. You could have a career in it.”


Willow smiled.


“Too bad I want a career in…” she stopped for a second, unsure. While her studies interested her, they weren’t something she thought about doing for the rest of her life. That was far too much a heavy thought for that moment though, so she quickly forgot it and continued, “Tara-cuddling! And kissing and canoodling and all those nice things.”


“You want to make a whole career out of that?” Tara asked, smiling bashfully but delightedly.


“Darn tootin’,” Willow replied with a big grin, “Can’t help it that I’m great at my job…”


She took a long sip of her coffee and let her eyes fall slyly to Tara’s butt. She was lucky her hands were full, making it easier to resist a sneaky squeeze.


They made it onto the street without embarrassing incident and hailed a cab to bring them back to campus. They linked arms in the taxi but didn’t make too big a show of themselves, content to twine fingers and be close that way.


The taxi dropped them a bit away from their building, and by the time they arrived Tara was jumpy in her step. Willow looked around her, trying to find some reason for it.


“What’s with the Snoopy Dance? Thought that was my thing.”


Tara squeezed her legs together and blushed.


“I have to go to the bathroom.”


“Oh, yeah, jeez,” Willow replied, shooing her away, “Go, I’ll do this.”


“Are you sure?” Tara asked, worried Willow was weighed down.


Willow nodded so Tara didn't question and scurried off quickly. Willow took a hold of the cooler handle and, one step at a time, waddled upstairs and down the hallway to Becky’s room.


She knocked and waited patiently for a minute or two, then knocked again a little louder. She groaned to herself thinking about dragging everything all the way down again and tried one last knock, loudly this time.


The door swung open after another minute to a disgruntled Becky wearing just a long t-shirt.


“What is it?”


Willow shrugged all of the baggage on her back.


“Um, Lucas said I could leave these here for him.”


“In the middle of the night?” Becky barked, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand.


“It’s 11am,” Willow started to protest but Becky cut her off sharply.


“On a Saturday!”


Willow suddenly remembered all too well how much she didn’t miss Becky’s strops at being woken up at a time she deemed too early.


“Right, okay, sorry. I’ll just drop this in real quick.”


Becky threw her hands up and marched back over to her bed, crawling under the covers. Willow quietly unloaded everything into a corner and was about to sneak back out when a half-asleep voice called out.


“How was your thing?”


Willow stopped at the door and smiled.


“Um, good. Really good. Thank Lucas for me and tell him he can get those DVDs whenever.”


There was a slight snort from the other side of the room.


“Lucas said the DVDs were just a bonus, he would have lent it to you for free knowing you guys would have sex in it.”


Willow straightened right up, eyes wide.


“We…! Not…!” she tried to speak but was stumbling, “Well, we didn’t!”


Becky’s eye cracked over the pillow she was cradling to her chest.


“Wasn’t it your anniversary?” she asked, lips morphing into a grin, “You didn’t get laid on your anniversary?”


Willow tried to stay casual.


“No,” she said, though wasn’t too convincing, “I mean none of your business.”


Becky didn’t press it but had that ‘I won’ grin on her face.


“We should double date some time, you know.”


“What?” Willow asked, cheeks still red, “Why?”


“Because it’s fun and what normal couples do,” Becky replied with a playful roll of her eyes, “I’ll call you about it. Now go away, I only got home at 6am.”


“Love you too, Beck,” Willow replied, rolling her eyes right back, “Bye!”


Becky offered a half-hearted wave, which looked more dismissive than in farewell. Willow closed the door behind her quietly behind her lest she risk the wrath of her angry friend and stretched her arms gently as she headed back to her room to get rid of the slight ache from the weight of everything.


She let herself in and bounced over to Tara, who was unpacking and putting away the things in the overnight bag.


“Did you pee?”


Tara looked over her shoulder at Willow.


“…yes…”


Willow blushed.


“Yeah, sorry, that was a weird question,” she said, but didn’t stop herself from hugging her girlfriend from behind, “Add Tara-hugging to my list of careers.”


Tara touched the hands around her mid-section affectionately, then went back to folding clothes.


“Speaking of, you did business classes in freshman year, right?”


“Uh huh,” Willow replied, pulling Tara’s hair to the side and kissing where her neck met her shoulder, “Why?”


Tara put the overnight bag back in the closet, then sat on the bed and picked up a notebook she had in a stack on her nightstand.


“I need some help with my résumé.”


“Résumé?” Willow asked, surprised, coming to sit with her, “Are you looking for another job?”


Tara found a couple of loose pages in the notebook and handed them to Willow to see.


“No, not exactly. We have to do student work internships for four weeks and I have to apply formally.”


“Oh wow, that’s…interesting,” Willow replied, reading through the information on said internships, “It says ‘Junior Internship’, do you do one next year too?”


Tara nodded.


“But it’s for six weeks. That’s why I’m hoping to shadow a private fostering agency this year and get a longer shot at the State agency next year since that's where I want to pursue a career.”


Willow finished reading and handed the papers back.


“You never said anything.”


“Well we only got the information yesterday and I was a little bit distracted…” Tara replied, tapping two fingers above Willow’s heart.


Willow smiled, lifted Tara’s hand and kissed her fingers. Her lips pressed into her girlfriend’s palm, then down her wrist. She continued the trail up Tara’s arm, pushing her gently down onto the bed in the process.


She lifted Tara’s arm above her head and pinned it while kissing down the V of her dress. She followed the curve back up into Tara’s neck, then along her jaw to finally kiss her lips.


Tara let her arm fall down and pushed just enough that she was half-lying on top of Willow. She continued to kiss her girlfriend softly before pulling away to rest her head on the pillow next to Willow.


“Funny how we always end up like this.”


Willow smiled.


“Funny…” she said, tracing Tara’s facial features with her index finger, “Did I tell you Becky wants to double date?”


“That sounds fun,” Tara replied, curling the ends of Willow’s hair around her fingers.


“Really?” Willow asked, unconsciously copying the motion, “I wasn’t sure you’d be in.”


Tara shrugged one shoulder.


“Why not? Halloween was fun.”


“Yeah, that’s true…” Willow replied and shrugged back, “We’ll see what happens.”


They twirled each other’s hair for a few quiet minutes, then Tara placed her palm on Willow’s chest and caressed her softly.


“Will you help with that thing today so I can submit it? I’m worried I won’t get in.”


Willow nodded and leaped up to get her laptop.


“Well we’ll get you the bestest darn résumé they’ve ever seen! You’ll get a place no problem.”


Tara sat up and smoothed out the end of her dress.


“You don’t know that.”


Willow came back to sit, a word doc all ready to go.


“If there’s one thing I don’t need a class in, it’s the greatness of Tara Maclay.”

Hi Laragh

haha! whoops, hope you didn't get in trouble

Haha no trouble, when i got up my partners son was still up playing video games with his headset on so he didn't hear me. Oh and my partner? She can sleep through an atomic bomb! I'm still trying to find a way to drop hints about a night in the tent (she's not the tent kinda gal). I'm considering going glamping (yes it's real look it up, I think it's an Aussie thing!).

Anyway, I digress! Lovely to see things progressing with the girls and they don't need to be at it like rabbits to show each other how much they love them.

“Too bad I want a career in…” she stopped for a second, unsure. While her studies interested her, they weren’t something she thought about doing for the rest of her life. That was far too much a heavy thought for that moment though, so she quickly forgot it and continued, “Tara-cuddling! And kissing and canoodling and all those nice things.”


Can I take that class too??

See you next time

Hey Laragh I'm pretty darn good thanks for asking :)

Love Willow's playful teasing of Tara when she discovers she had been wearing socks in bed.

“What are you making me for breakfast?”

“Scrambled eggs on toast,” Willow answered diligently, making Tara smile.

“I was hoping I could have you.”

Willow blushed and averted her gaze


Wow, it's not like Willow to get all shy and bashful like that. Certainly not with Tara when she suggests intimate fun and games.

Aww such a sweet moment when they're lying down watching the clouds, holding hands while Tara plays with Willow's hair. It really is the small things that make life worthwhile :)

She’d used more strength than she realised she had in planting them and fell on her ass a respectable three times whilst trying to pull each from the ground.

Now that I'd liked to have seen, it would have given me a good laugh lol.

The door swung open after another minute to a disgruntled Becky wearing just a long t-shirt.

YAY Becky's back, the Penny of the Confidentialverse. I can see it now;

knock knock knock Becky
knock knock knock Becky
knock knock knock Becky lol

A double date with Becky and Lucas and Willow and Tara. Now that should be fun.

“Did you pee?”

Ah Willow, ever the great romantic :)

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Willow is the coolest girlfriend ever. Helping Tara to write a winning resume. As for the greatness of Tara Maclay...everybody in the world should know how AWESOME she is. Yeah, I have a thing for these two girls :)

Great update. Glad to see that breakfast turned out better than dinner. I give Willow credit for being able to put up and take down everything by herself. I love that even though Becky was half-asleep she was still able to tease Willow about their anniversary; love the banter between them.

Hi Laragh


Hi Kim :)

Haha no trouble, when i got up my partners son was still up playing video games with his headset on so he didn't hear me. Oh and my partner? She can sleep through an atomic bomb! I'm still trying to find a way to drop hints about a night in the tent (she's not the tent kinda gal). I'm considering going glamping (yes it's real look it up, I think it's an Aussie thing!).


I've heard of glamping, although now I think about it I think it might have been from my brother (who's an Aussie.)

Anyway, I digress! Lovely to see things progressing with the girls and they don't need to be at it like rabbits to show each other how much they love them.


No they don't, although they certainly have their 'bunny' days!

Can I take that class too??


You can take it, but can't do the practicals! (lest you feel the wrath of a certain redhead)

Thanks for your feedback :)

Read and see!

I would guess Tara gets her internship with willow's help since she was working at Child Services in Hacker...


Perhaps, perhaps...

Good to hear!

Love Willow's playful teasing of Tara when she discovers she had been wearing socks in bed.


I'm a big fan of them teasing each other, if you haven't noticed.

Wow, it's not like Willow to get all shy and bashful like that. Certainly not with Tara when she suggests intimate fun and games.


Willow can be quite bashful, I think, but this time she was embarrassed she hadn't picked up on Tara's double meaning.

Aww such a sweet moment when they're lying down watching the clouds, holding hands while Tara plays with Willow's hair. It really is the small things that make life worthwhile :)


It really is!

Now that I'd liked to have seen, it would have given me a good laugh lol.


Poor Willow, klutzilla...

YAY Becky's back, the Penny of the Confidentialverse. I can see it now;


Haha!

A double date with Becky and Lucas and Willow and Tara. Now that should be fun.


Read on...

There is something oddly romantic about being concerned for your love's comfort.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Willow is the coolest girlfriend ever. Helping Tara to write a winning resume. As for the greatness of Tara Maclay...everybody in the world should know how AWESOME she is.


Agree on both counts!

Yeah, I have a thing for these two girls :)


No way, really? ;)

Thanks for your feedback!

Glad to see that breakfast turned out better than dinner. I give Willow credit for being able to put up and take down everything by herself.


Putting a tent together and back down is no easy feat! I've only done it a couple of times and it took forever.

I love that even though Becky was half-asleep she was still able to tease Willow about their anniversary; love the banter between them.


They're good friends, gotta give them that!

Thanks for commenting :)

Chapter 59

********

“So, you’re like, volunteering?”


Tara watched Becky take her shot on the putt-putt course that they, along with their respective others who were trailing behind, had come to for their double date.


Tara was slightly distracted watching the ball go through the mini windmill but finally realised Becky had spoken to her.


“Oh, sorry. Um, well, kinda. I’m there in an official status, but I’m not getting paid or anything.”


“That’s bogus,” Becky scoffed, hitting her ball into the hole on the other side.


“Well, not really, I get lots of experience,” Tara explained, taking her turn to putt, “And the fostering company could only take me for two weeks, so I got two weeks at the YMCA too. It will really help when I’m looking to get a real job.”


Becky nodded.


“Kinda like student teaching, I guess.”


“Uh huh, like that,” Tara replied, taking her golf ball from the hole as they waited for the other two to catch up.


They weren’t making much movement though, as Willow was laughing along to what looked like Lucas’s attempt at imitating a motorcycle.


“Vroom, vroom, vroom!”


Becky caught Tara’s eye and rolled her own.


“Boys, amirite?” she said, and Tara pursed her lips not to comment, which Becky failed to notice, “Hey you two, stop lagging!”


Willow and Lucas caught up, and Willow came to stand by Tara.


“Sorry, baby, didn't realise you two had gotten so far ahead.”


“It’s okay, I don’t mind waiting,” Tara replied, but did link their hands while the other two took the first shots on the next hole, “Are you having fun?”


Willow nodded and showed off a little doing a practice swing.


“I caddied for my Dad a few summers, you know.”


“I didn’t,” Tara replied, moving her hand to the small of Willow’s back, “I like a girl in white.”


Willow blushed as she watched Tara take her spot to putt and the wiggle that went along with setting up. She spotted her opportunity and moved behind her girlfriend, arms over hers to show her the ‘correct’ swing. She heard a scoff from the side.


“I cannot believe you’re pulling that move, Rosenberg.”


“Shut up, Rebecca,” Willow retorted and helped Tara take her swing.


The ball sailed right through and into the hole.


“Hey! You got it!” Willow praised, lifting her hand for a high five, then pulling Tara in to peck her lips, “I love you.”


A few feet away, Lucas threw his arm around Becky’s shoulders.


“Hey babe,” he said casually, smiling his charming smile, “I love ya too.”


Becky stiffened on the spot, completely unprepared for that particular declaration. She patted the hand hanging off her shoulder awkwardly.


“Oh…thanks.”


Lucas’s eyebrows shot up but Willow’s voice was shouting back to them before he could open his mouth.


“Now who’s lagging?!” Willow yelled, laughing jovially and completely unaware of the uncomfortable moment passing between her two friends, “Come on, we’re on the last hole and my lady is about to kick all of your butts.”


Becky stepped away from Lucas’s arm, then turned to him and for a split second considered returning the sentiment. Her throat closed before she could even really contemplate and she turned away again, hurrying up to Willow and Tara.


They had already played the hole, so Becky took a quick, weak shot; the ball only going a couple of feet up. She finished the game with her head down and winced when Lucas took his shot and sent the ball flying over all of their heads and into a nearby tree.


“Whoa dude, chill out,” Willow commented, straightening up from having ducked, “Just ‘cause you’re getting beat by a girl.”


Lucas put the putter behind his neck and clasped it with both hands, stretching from side-to-side.


“Guess I’m just a pussy.”


Willow grinned.


“I bet I can eat a bigger steak than you at the restaurant.”


“I don’t think so,” Lucas replied, walking past Becky to continue the banter with Willow.


They walked back through the office of the mini-golf establishment and handed back in their equipment, minus Lucas’s ball. He paid the surcharge but scowled when the woman said ‘thanks’ and bawled up the receipt she offered.


Tara could see Willow giving him some abuse over it as they made their way to a nearby steakhouse they’d made reservations in, but noticed how unusually quiet Becky was being.


“Are you okay?”


“Me? Yeah,” Becky replied, easily dismissing everything with a smile, “Hey, where did you get that necklace? It’s pretty.”


Tara didn’t notice the change of subject as anything important and told her about the necklace. They got to the restaurant and were seated quickly, but Lucas sat right on the corner of his side of the booth with Becky.


“Surprised there’s room for me in there. That it’s not all closed off.”


Becky ignored him and buried her head in a menu, while Willow and Tara exchanged ‘what the hell is going on’ looks.


They were the only two to engage in any real conversation throughout the meal; Lucas only making snide remarks and Becky avoiding them or shooting him daggers.


Becky had mostly pushed around the salad she’d ordered and handed it back to the waitress almost full.


“Thanks.”


“That’s your favourite word today,” Lucas remarked, acting as aloof as he could pull off.


“Can you just drop it?” Becky asked through gritted teeth, her shame and fear being prodded into anger as the evening went on.


Lucas scoffed.


“You weren’t very happy when I ‘dropped it’ earlier.”


“It’s not nice to be ‘dropped’ out of the blue!” Becky replied, throwing a napkin in his face, “On a putt-putt course.”


Willow had no idea what had happened but knew enough about lover’s spats that she knew it was time to get out of there.


“Oh, boy, look at the time,” she said, making a show of looking at her watch, “I have study group tomorrow, so…dinner’s on us!”


She tossed a few bills on the table to cover the food plus tip, and grabbed Tara’s hand, pulling her out the door quickly.


“Your study group isn’t until lunchtime,” Tara said, stepping back once they were outside, “And it’s only 8 o’clock.”


Willow cocked her head towards the restaurant.


“Do you want to be in the middle of that?”


“No, but I don’t want to be rude either,” Tara replied, looking through the window to see the other two having a full blown stand-off now.


Willow took Tara’s hand again and pulled her away.


“Tara, if we were having a fight, would you want Becky in the middle of it?” she asked, taking her cell out of her pocket, “I’m gonna text her and tell her to call if she needs anything.”


She sent the text off quickly.


“Now, we can forget about that and still have a nice evening?”


Tara cast a glance back.


“I feel bad leaving her…”


“She’s a big girl and she’ll call if she needs us,” Willow reasoned, “Tara, trust me, I’ve gone through at least 10 of Becky’s boyfriends and she’ll reach out when she wants it, otherwise, ‘leave me the fuck alone’. She said that to me once. Nothing personal or anything, but she means it. She’ll want to brood and stoop in her anger, then probably get hammered, and they’ll make up at 3am.”


“Okay, if you’re sure…” Tara replied, finally looking forward again.


“I am,” Willow nodded resolutely.


“I wonder what happened,” Tara said, trying to think what could have set the other couple off, “She was all chatty playing mini-golf…maybe too much.”


Willow raised an eyebrow.


“Too much?”


“Not…just…” Tara tried, then shrugged one shoulder, “She just called you a boy in a ‘haha, look at our boyfriends’ kind of way.”


“Oh, she does that all the time,” Willow dismissed,


Tara nodded.


“I’ve noticed. I don’t like it.”


“Why?” Willow asked, wondering why that particular teasing was so bothersome.


“Because you’re a woman,” Tara replied, casting her eyes down, “A beautiful woman with a woman’s body. You’re my woman. Not a boy.”


Willow opened her mouth to reply but closed it again when she noticed the flicker of lust in Tara’s eyes on her body. She was suddenly very eager to get home as soon as possible.


“So whaddya say we head home…maybe light a candle or two…”


Tara broke her gaze to lift her eyes to Willow’s.


“I could be convinced…”


A spring appeared in Willow’s step and her pace quickened to get back to campus. Tara knew she’d been caught but felt less of her usual shyness and more of Willow’s enthusiasm. She couldn’t help an excited giggle, her face lighting up in the process. Willow laughed at her laugh and they devolved into shy giggles with both looking away to contain themselves but unable to resist sneaky looks back.


They wouldn’t have looked amiss in a highschool hallway.


When they finally got back to their dorm, Willow backed Tara over to the bed and crawled into her lap; hands moving along her shoulder blades and around to the back of her neck.


“You’re making me feel like when I was 13 and discovered swimsuit editions.”


“Confused?” Tara asked with a crooked smile that made Willow just about melt in her arms.


Willow smiled back but shook her head.


“Alive.”


Tara could feel her heart hammering as Willow put their foreheads together and teased her with almost-kisses.


“I’m not doing anything.”


“You don’t have to,” Willow replied, pulling Tara right in by the collar of her shirt while claiming her lips in a steamy kiss.


They fell back onto the mattress together and shuffled up until Tara’s head was on the pillow.


Shirts and bras found themselves on one side of the bed, while Willow’s pants took pride of place tangled with Tara’s skirt on the other. Willow had her hand deep in Tara’s panties, rubbing her clit with wild abandon, wasting no time with her eagerness.


Tara’s mouth was busy occupying Willow’s; tongues playing an energetic game of tag. Her hips were responding with as much gusto as Willow was giving out, so much so that a familiar tightness was starting in her belly.


Her hand flew to the sheet and she clasped it between her fingertips just in time for her back to arch and for her to come with a deep, shuddering breath.


Willow slowed right down but didn’t stop for a second; enjoying taking slow dominance over the kiss and having her body move in rhythm with Tara’s.


Tara had her arms on her girlfriend’s back again, still taking in short breaths through Willow. Her fingertips danced a path down Willow’s spine and slipped under her panties to caress her cheeks.


Willow moaned as her own clit got some friction through the action. She pulled away long enough to get her panties to her ankles and off and aided Tara to do the same with hers.


Tara’s cheeks were still nicely flushed and her forehead had a light sheen. Willow was working herself up almost to the same state just by looking at her girlfriend; giving particular focus to Tara’s pert breasts and her dark, taut nipples sitting so perfectly from her chest.


“Do you want the candles?”


Willow had to drag her eyes up to meet Tara’s, but was in as much danger of getting lost there.


“Huh?”


“The candles,” Tara repeated, shifting over to her nightstand and pulling the drawer open, “Do you have a preference?”


Willow blinked twice, then scooted over too.


“What have we got?” she asked, looking over the assortment that Tara liked to keep, “I like the orange one.”


Tara picked out a tall orange candle and two smaller white ones.


“It goes pretty well with jasmine.”


“Sounds good to me,” Willow replied, moving back to where she was before.


Tara lit the trio and turned the lamp on as it had grown dark out, but dimmed it so it was just enhancing the candles.


“If you’re trying for mood lighting, I think we’re already there,” Willow joked.


She was sitting with her back against the wall, quite comfortable in her nakedness, but everything was on alert again as Tara straddled her and sat in her lap.


“Not that I’m complaining…” she continued, eyes falling to her girlfriend’s chest, “Definitely…not…complaining…”


Tara knew putting her breasts so close to Willow’s face meant inevitable distraction, but welcomed the accompanying attention. Willow’s mouth was hot on her nipples and hands eager in their touch.


She could feel the heat spreading between her legs all over again. It wasn’t long before she was tilting Willow’s chin up and they were kissing again; sharing their growing passion with ever increasing intensity.


During a brief pause for new air, Tara took her chance at Willow’s chest and began to kiss her way down. She was more hurried than Willow had been, almost frantic with need for her lips to touch everywhere.


Willow felt like her skin was blistering under Tara’s touch and was doing no better at containing herself. She was throbbing with need, feeling each pulse deep between her legs and between her ears. She pushed on Tara’s shoulders without even being aware of it; utterly consumed with desire.


Tara pressed a kiss squarely between Willow’s breasts, then dragged her top lip right down to her girlfriend’s belly button. She dipped her tongue in and heard an almighty groan float down to her ears.


Feeling a little bold, she scraped her teeth down to Willow’s mound and repeated the action there.


“You like that?”


Tara’s voice was dripping with sultry overtones, enough to make Willow’s toes curl without even being touched.


“Fuck yes,” she panted, one knee bending upwards to reveal a different kind of dripping.


Tara glanced down and felt that tightening knot in her belly. She placed her palm on Willow’s opposite thigh and spread her open. Her fingers delicately pressed against her girlfriend’s skin, sinking in smoothly like pressing into butter, then slowly fell off again; her head resting there instead as her tongue finally made the contact Willow’s body was screaming for.


Willow’s toes were curling again and Tara had only started. She writhed her way through a torturous build-up but was screaming Tara’s name during the delicious pay-off.


Her voice was just a series of gruff sounds by the time Tara strummed a second orgasm from her. There was no let-up and she was nearing a third shattering climax, when she felt Tara’s thigh slide in where her mouth had been. The wonderful weight of a warm body settled on her and she gave herself over to the kiss she offered.


Tara’s lips were wet with her and plump from their activity. Willow just about came undone when they touched her, but managed to stay in control long enough to feel for Tara’s hand.


“Wait…” she whispered, only the smallest of gaps between their lips, “Give me your hand.”


Tara put her hand in Willow’s and moved her thigh away as her hand was put between them. She let it just hang there for a minute, distracted as Willow wetted her fingers with her arousal.


The breath rushed from her lungs with sharp but slow inhale when those fingers entered her, filling her in every sense. She rocked her hips into them; slowly at first but quickly building speed.


She finally remembered her hand cupping Willow and adjusted herself to slide between her folds. Willow’s other hand tightened in Tara’s back and they started a rhythmic bump and grind while resuming the passionate kiss that had been abandoned earlier.


Tara lost count of how many times she switched from being on top to rolling around on her back; both of them just locked into each other and moving however their bodies wanted.


The blanket was tangled around them and pillows were strewn in all directions. The bed was squeaking, but neither could hear anything but the other’s impassioned moans. They were completely lost in the thrall of each other and the intense physicality of their lust.


They finally ended up back where they started, Willow on her back and Tara above; fingers buried deep and other hands twined above their heads. Mini-orgasms had wracked their bodies throughout but both were holding out for the final showdown.


Tara had Willow’s bottom lip in her mouth and was nibbling to her heart’s content. Willow felt Tara’s tongue slide out and hit hers every few seconds, adding to their messy and intoxicating mesh of bodies.


Her clit was quivering under Tara’s thumb and it was spreading to a tremble in her thighs and a shiver up her spine.


“I’m…”she tried to speak but Tara still had her lip hostage and she wasn’t about to give up that attention.


She closed her eyes and waited those almost painful seconds to finally break; the first wave a flood of pleasure and the aftershocks sending that feeling from the top of her head to the tip of her toes.


A somewhat delirious smile formed on her face, able to stretch as Tara wasn’t kissing her any longer. Willow’s head snapped to attention slightly at realising that, looking for those sweet lips again, but Tara sat up and back, straddling her.


Willow watched, hypnotised by Tara’s curves and the look of enjoyment on her face as she took Willow’s fingers. She lay motionless just watching the show but luckily realised pretty quick that Tara wasn’t giving her a show so much as trying to get herself off.


She used her other hand to start to rub her girlfriend’s clit again and the soft sigh returned told Willow she was giving what was wanted, and if she just so happened to enjoy watching it being done then all the better.


Tara was sure she must look a sight; she could feel the profuse sweat on her forehead and knew areas of her normally pale skin must be a vibrant red, but when she chanced opening her eyes and looking down at Willow watching her she felt like the sexiest thing in the world.


Their wordless exchange came full circle as she in fact did start to put on a little show; dragging herself slowly off Willow’s fingers and back down again whilst gentle caressing her own breasts and stomach.


Willow almost turned purple watching it all and started to rub her girlfriend’s clit more. This resulted in Tara not needing to put any effort into her show, just coming as naturally as she did was the most erotic sight Willow could ever see.


“Ohm…umm…ah-oh!”


Willow groaned as Tara buried herself deep on her fingers as she came. She felt those spasms go right down her wrist and without thinking too much about it, took her hand from Tara’s clit and started rubbing her own again. The thought of Tara’s slickness mingled with hers was all she needed to come with her girlfriend all over again.


Tara had thrown her head back but brought it forward again, letting her neck hang forward. She saw Willow’s hand give herself the final stroke before the accompanying shudder and slowly dragged her gaze up to her girlfriend’s face.


She waited for Willow’s eyes to settle, then settle on her, before picking up her girlfriend’s wrist and lifting her wet fingers up to lick clean.


Willow’s eyes popped and mouth dropped.


“Ohhh…don’t…I don’t think I can take another one…and that’s gonna make me…”


Tara took two of Willow’s fingers fully into her mouth and slowly released them, all the while maintaining eye contact, before letting her girlfriend have both her hands back. She moved off to the side and fixed the pillows, then padded across the room to the bathroom.


Willow was still lying there with an utterly stunned look on her face by the time Tara got back, but did blink when she felt her girlfriend get back into bed under the sheet.


She looked to Tara who had the doe-eyed innocent look she always had. It thrilled Willow in ways she could never verbalise that she knew the person beyond that look; emotionally and, she could hardly deny after that session, physically too.


She turned on her side and did a two finger – two particular fingers – dance onto Tara’s stomach.


“…you were a little naughty.”


Tara had splashed her face and rid herself of any flushed cheeks, but they came back in full force then. Willow laid her palm flat on Tara’s belly and looked up coyly.


“I liked it.”


Tara could feel flutters right under Willow’s hand.


“You did?”


“No, I just have multiple orgasms really, really easily,” Willow replied with a goofy grin, before she regained a more sombre composure, “You’re amazing. I hope you know that.”


She pressed a long kiss to each of Tara’s cheeks, who just smiled and covered Willow’s hand on her stomach, squeezing.


“Not so bad yourself.”


Willow smiled back, then dropped her head to Tara’s shoulder, kissed there and cuddled in. They rested, Willow running her foot on Tara’s shin and Tara rubbing the arm draped over her chest. They said a few words to each other but were mostly content in the silence and the synchronicity of their breathing.


Eventually though, Tara giggled, and did so in such a way that it seemed she hadn’t even expected it herself. Willow looked up to her.


“What are you laughing at?” she asked with playful accusation, poking her girlfriend in the chest.


Tara was smiling, their earlier conversation having floated into her head with all the other errant thoughts.


“So swimsuit editions, huh?”


Willow turned her head away, smiled, then turned back.


“Truth?” she asked and got a nod back, “I got a Playboy once and… it was way too intense for me. I went for the ‘less is more’, probably because I was too scared to explore my feelings beyond the initial buzz.”


Tara brushed some hair from Willow’s brow, then trailed a finger down her arm.


“I’m very glad you stopped being scared.”


Willow cocked her head and pressed her lips against Tara’s.


“Well, just proves I needed the right material…” she said, kissing Tara again and deeply inhaling through her nose to breath in the process, “Those candles smell so good.”


She bumped noses with Tara.


“You know what I’d make if I could…?” she whispered, copying Tara’s trailing finger trick, “A Tara-scented candle.”


“I think my lotion comes in a candle,” Tara replied, glancing over to the bottle on her nightstand, “I got a gift set with it once.”


Willow moved her mouth down to Tara’s ear and whispered even lower.


“That’s not what I meant.”


Tara’s eyes went wide and Willow grinned when she saw the reaction she got. She wondered if she could tease her girlfriend any more, but got distracted as something flew under their door.


She walked over and picked it up, a pink piece of card with writing on.


“We got another noise warning,” she said, scrunching up her nose as she read.


Tara dropped her head into her hands and groaned.


“It’s not you, it was me this time,” Willow reassured, sitting on the edge of the bed and taking Tara’s hand, “You were just making your cute moan-y noises.”


That just served to embarrass Tara more, but Willow was already on the go again.


“Do you want a snack?”


Tara watched Willow throw the card in the trash and brought the blanket up around herself.


“Yes, please.”


Willow got a tub of applesauce and a spoon and brought it back over to the bed. She peeled the lid and offered Tara the first spoon before taking one for herself. She sighed softly.


“This is what it’s all about for me. You, me and applesauce.”


“You have very complex needs,” Tara replied with a crooked, wry grin.


Willow looked over at Tara adoringly.


“I could live without the applesauce if I hadta.”


Tara smiled and leaned over to press a kiss onto Willow’s cheek. Willow smiled back and offered another spoonful, which Tara took happily.


They spent the evening in their own little cocoon, exchanging applesauce and kisses, until wearied out, they fell asleep curled up in each other and nothing else.

DIBS again go me!

Hi :bigwave

Thanks for the crown although I think I'll only consider myself that when I get Dibs on Neverland (I was sooo close today damn it!). Where's your brother from?

Lovely double date apart from Lucas dropping the Love bomb. I'm intrigued to know if he meant to say it or not. I mean did he just get caught up in the moment seeing W/T lovey dovey or has he been thinking about it for a while. It's interesting, I wonder if we will be seeing the girls helping them through this. From Tara's reaction I'd say yes she has a heart of gold!

“This is what it’s all about for me. You, me and applesauce.”


One of my favourite lines ever, a very Willow thing to say but also a powerful statement of her intention to be with Tara forever.

I loved it, can't wait for more.

Kim
