********

Willow’s glassy eyes were fixed on a particular spot on the ceiling as she lay as sprawled as she could be on the small bed.


The blanket was strewn over her legs and chest, which was still heaving slightly from the moments-previous exertions of the coital kind.


Her vision was hazy, with just blasts of intermittent light between heavy blinks.


“I’m seeing stars.”


Tara, to allow for Willow’s sprawling, had made herself as small as possible on the edge of the bed. She moved her arm up and behind Willow's shoulders for a little extra wiggle room.


“You should get that checked out. It’s still day light.”


Willow giggled and strained her head back to decipher the colour of the sky through the window.


“Barely. What time is it even?”


“Evening,” Tara guessed with an unconcerned shrug, “Here, come closer, I’m falling out.”


Willow turned more on her side, half draped across Tara. Tara’s hands instantly migrated towards Willow’s ass and Willow knew she’d chosen the right option with her excessive lotioning earlier.


“How come you like my butt so much?” she asked, while her head was propped on one of Tara’s breasts and a hand fondled the other.


Tara looked down pointedly.


“How come you like my boobs?”


Willow’s hand paused mid-squeeze, then she left it to rest on top and nodded.


“So what Saturday night routine am I disturbing?”


Tara kissed the top of Willow’s head.


“You’re not disturbing anything.”


Willow turned more on her stomach to face Tara properly.


“Seriously, what do you like to do?”


Tara shrugged one shoulder.


“We’ll, I’m usually in this park doing art until afternoon, then come home, get a call in with you while I’m getting changed and we get some dinner and go to the club.”


“‘The Club’,” Willow replied with an unconvincing chuckle, “With the pretty girls…”


Tara reached up and brushed some hair gently from Willow’s face.


“I have an idea. What if we find you something of mine that fits and I’ll take you to the club. You’ll see exactly what it’s all about and why you have no reason to be worried.”


“I know I have no reason, because I trust you,” Willow replied immediately, though her curiosity was piqued, “But, I guess, maybe, for an hour or two…is it far?”


Tara shook her head.


“Not at all. You won’t see any main sights of the city, but at least you’ll see a little bit of my neighbourhood. And there’s a whole strip of restaurants we can grab a bite in.”


Willow considered it for a moment.


“Will your friend be coming?” she asked, disdain in her voice.


“No, I texted her and said I was busy so she’s probably gone off to do her own thing,” Tara answered but noticed the look didn’t change much on Willow’s face, “Hey, I didn’t like Becky much when we first met…remember when she got you drunk and left you to wander home alone?”


Willow rested her chin on Tara's shoulder sheepishly.


“You guys are bosom buddies now. Okay, I’ll stop being grumpy. What can I wear?”


Tara sat up and swung her legs off the closet side of the bed. She slid the door across and started looking through and tossing things onto the bed.


Willow looked through a few pieces, but didn’t recognise them. Everything was a lot plainer, sleeker and smarter than anything she’d seen Tara wear before.


“Are these new?”


Tara nodded, hanging the clothes back up she knew wouldn’t fit.


“My long skirts and mismatched shirts didn’t really cut the mustard in the fashion capital of the world.”


“Isn’t Paris crazy expensive?” Willow asked, having never seen Tara buy more than the odd shirt that wasn’t from a thrift shop.


“They’re not designer or anything,” Tara replied before adding on casually, “I’ve been selling my art.”


“You have?” Willow asked in surprise.


“Yeah, that’s why I go to that artist’s park at the weekends,” Tara explained with a soft, fond smile, “There’s a bunch of us and people come up for portraits and requests and stuff. A few euros here and there but sometimes you get the hipster interior designers looking around. I sold a drawing of an old train station for three hundred euros once. It’s framed in a restaurant.”


“That’s amazing!” Willow exclaimed, rubbing Tara’s arm with both hands, “I told you a year ago you should be doing that!”


Tara shrugged one shoulder.


“I never thought about it as much more than a hobby before coming here.”


Willow smiled softly, utterly delighted that Tara was appreciating her own talents the way she always had. Tara’s words about not accepting the love she deserved suddenly hit home and swallowed a deep lump.


She squeezed Tara’s arm and leaned over to kiss her cheek.


“Well I think that’s awesome.”


Tara returned a cheek kiss, then suddenly turned back to the closet.


“Wait, I know!” she said, looking through a few bundles of clothes again before finally taking out a black blouse with shirt sleeves and collar, “This is one of the first things I bought but I forgot the sizing is different over here so it’s too small.”


Willow held it up in front of her and nodded.


“Nice. Smart.”


“You should be able to wear a skirt and belt too,” Tara continued, handing her a black knee-length pencil skirt and a skinny black belt, “Less baggy than pants. I think you can get away with your own bra.”


“I’ll have to, no way I’ll fit in yours!” Willow replied.


She pulled on the skirt whilst lying down and tied the button. It wasn’t as form-fitting as it would be on Tara, but it fit and she was able to tailor it a bit better with the belt.


Willow struggled to dress properly on the bed, while Tara stood in the floor space to change, used to the cramped conditions. She had on a sleeveless blue blouse with a very deep V extending almost to her bellybutton, so she had a black tank top on underneath to prevent overexposure. Her skirt was the same as Willow’s, as she’d bought a couple of the same style when she found them comfortable and fashionable enough to wear out. Her nails were already French-tipped and she picked a silver and blue elastic belt to finish the piece.


Willow was busy struggling to pull up a pair of Tara’s panties under her skirt to notice Tara’s complete ensemble for a moment or two, but her eyes bugged out of her head as soon as she did.


“Holy shit.”


Tara was mussing up her hair in the mirror and turned to check out how her skirt was fitting.


“You can’t see my bra straps can you?”


When she got no answer, she turned to face Willow.


“Willow?”


“Huh?” Willow asked, barely snapping to attention.


“Can you see my bra straps?” Tara repeated.


“Um, no,” Willow replied, swallowing to regain some moisture.


Tara was already applying some make-up in the small desk mirror and accidentally stabbed herself in the eye with her eyeliner.


“Shit. Could you grab me a tissue?”


“Sure!” Willow replied eagerly, jumping up and running to the bathroom.


Tara started to call back that there was a box on the bookshelf but Willow was gone. Tara did her other eye while she waited and fixed the other when Willow returned with a wad of toilet roll as big as the lampshade.


Willow watched, fascinated, as Tara changed her look so drastically to how she presented herself at home. Her eyes were heavy with the liner and smoky for an overall sultry and dramatic look and her lips were a pale pink, subtly complimenting the eyes.


Tara was quite modest with make-up normally and the striking look drew the eye in and kept it captivated.


Humble Tara or Hot Tara, Willow didn’t care, but it was exciting to witness the transformation, and she knew it would be just as exciting to be part of the de-transformation later on.


“I’m, um, guessing I can’t wear my sneakers,” she said, glancing over to her well-worn shoes.


“Good call. We wear the same size,” Tara replied, showing Willow where her shoes were lined up, “Flats or heels?”


“Flats,” Willow answered definitively, then looked at Tara quizzically, “You wear heels now?”


“Apparently,” Tara replied with a soft smile, just as she was slipping on a pair of silver stilettos.


Willow picked out a pair of white flats that she figured were a safe bet, even though a pair of rainbow ones were screaming out at her. She put them on and stood up to fit them properly to her feet, but was taken aback by Tara towering over her with the heels on.


“Whoa.”


“Want me to do your make-up?” Tara asked, wiping a make-up brush against the back of her hand.


“Sure,” Willow agreed, sitting down in the desk chair when offered, “You’ve really changed your look.”


“When in Rome…” Tara replied absently as she lightly applied some blush, “Or Paris, as the case may be.”


She was lighter on the liner than her own eyes, but still fairly heavy-handed with it and the mascara. She added some light plum-coloured eyeshadow, then made Willow pout her lips and applied some cherry-red lipstick.


She dabbed lightly at Willow’s mouth and smiled.


“There you go.”


Tara often did Willow’s make-up for her, and Willow loved how pretty she made her look. As she picked up the small mirror to check herself out, she saw that Tara had used her newly-attained fashion knowledge to make her up in the same striking way she'd made herself up.


She did a double-take, not used to seeing herself so stunning.


“I’m hot!”


Tara leaned over Willow from behind and kissed her cheek.


“I know you are.”


“No, I mean…” Willow stumbled, trying to explain without sounding cocky, “Okay, yes to you, but in the traditional ‘hot girl’ sense, me, not so much. But… I’m hot! We’re hot!”


Tara leaned her head in against Willow’s.


“I think you look just as beautiful as every day at home.”


Willow smiled, feeling her heart melt. She knew Tara meant every word of that and she the same of Tara, even if the newness of their ‘hot’ look was making her a bit giddy in that moment.


Tara looked every bit as beautiful on a Sunday morning with no make-up and bed head than she did in the on-point look she’d adopted for the City of Lights, and Willow loved that she got to experience every variant Tara had to offer.


“And so do you.”


She stood up and found that she quite enjoyed having to look up to see Tara’s face and to step on her tiptoes to offer a kiss.


“You’re sending all kinds of crazy feelings between my heart and my belly and somewhere lower tonight.”


“I’m interested in this somewhere lower…” Tara replied with a sultry grin.


Willow traced the deep V of Tara’s blouse.


“It’s polite to take a lady out to dinner first…”


Tara offered her arm.


“Then please allow me the great honour, my lady.”


Willow linked her arm in Tara’s and felt quite suave as they stepped out together.


It was dark but the moon was full and the street lamps were illuminating the streets as they walked. Willow paid a little bit more attention to the architecture than she had on the way in, admiring the balconied buildings and small windows, as well as having fun working out what the street signs meant.


She was listening to Tara point out little side streets and establishments, but there was so much in the urban area that she was a little bit behind in keeping up. After a moment, she realised they’d stopped and that Tara was looking at her expectantly.


“Hmm?” she asked, looking from side to side.


“Are you okay with Lebanese?” Tara asked, indicating to the restaurant they were standing in front of.


Willow looked up and noticed they were outside a restaurant.


“Oh, sure,” she nodded, “Yeah, you said it was the best place around.”


She followed Tara inside, and though the décor was a bit tired and mismatched with older furniture and newer interiors, the smells were amazing and the place was obviously well-liked seeing as it was close to full. The space in the middle was set out with cushions as seats for people to eat on the floor, which was already full. Tables were set out in an L shape around the front window and far wall and were all new, coloured black with white table settings so they blended in without clashing.


A young, dark man came over and kissed both of Tara’s cheeks with a flourish, conversed with her for a few seconds, then gave Willow a friendly smile and brought them over to a small two-seater table right in front of the large window.


He went to pull out their chairs, but Tara got to Willow’s first and he politely stepped back and pulled Tara’s out for her. He then offered them menus, said something to Tara, who nodded, and left.


Willow watched him go, then looked to Tara.


“French kissing the waiters huh?”


“I think that’s slightly misleading,” Tara replied with a softly sloped grin.


Willow smiled sheepishly and picked up her menu. She realised pretty quick that it was all in French, but Tara stepped in before she even had to ask.


“Do you want to just get a mezze and try a few things to start? I highly recommend the tagine too.”


Willow put the menu down and nodded.


“I was going to ask you what to get anyway, so yeah, that sounds great. Anything is good.”


The waiter came back again with a round plate of flatbreads with a bowl of hummus in the middle and placed it between them. He and Tara conversed again, then Tara looked to Willow.


“Qu'est-ce que vous voulez boire?”


Willow blinked, then found herself blushing under both of their expectant gazes.


“Um, in American? I mean English?”


Tara laughed at herself and reached over to squeeze Willow’s arm apologetically.


“What would you like to drink?”


“Um, lemonade?” Willow asked, looking for confirmation that that was available.


“Un citron pressé, s'il vous plait,” Tara said to the waiter, then indicated for Willow to try the hummus.


The waiter returned with a glass of red wine, which he set in front of Tara, then placed an oblong plate with a carafe of water, small bowl of sugar and tall glass with ice and an inch of lemon juice in the bottom. There was a silver spoon lying across the plate for stirring.


“It’s a sort of a DIY lemonade,” Tara explained when she saw the confused look on Willow’s face, “I thought you might enjoy it.”


Willow’s eyes lit up as she understood, eyeing the different elements.


“Cool!” she said, picking up the spoon with a smile, “I tried making lemonade when I was a kid but I just got in trouble.”


She tried to get some sugar in the glass but just ended up spilling it everywhere, very reminiscent of her very first attempts at beverage making. She blushed as she wiped it up with her napkin.


“I’m sorry, I should be acting cooler.”


“You should be acting like yourself, just as you are,” Tara replied lovingly, then reached for Willow’s hand across the table, “Did I make you feel like you’re not good enough with the get-up and everything? It’s just how things are here.”


Willow squeezed Tara’s hand and shook her head.


“No, you made me feel the opposite of that.”


“Good,” Tara replied with a tender smile, then turned her attention to the window and back to Willow, “I just realised we should swap seats.”


“Oh,” Willow replied, confused but going along with it as Tara stood and came over.


She took Tara’s seat and resettled her napkin without much inkling as to why the swap had occurred, until she glanced out the window.


“Oh, hey! Cool!”


From the cross section of the side-streets she was looking down outside the window, the top three quarters of the Eiffel Tower was visible in the distance, lit up in the night sky.


“It’s pretty, huh?” Tara commented, watching Willow watch the site.


“Yeah, it is,” Willow agreed, then gazed for another moment before looking back at Tara, “You’ve visited already, haven’t you?”


Tara nodded.


“I’ve gone up a few times.”


“What’s it like?” Willow asked, hoping Tara didn’t have the same disappointment she’d felt when she’d climbed The Empire State Building when she was 17 and found it less than awe-inspiring.


Tara was quiet for a moment, then smiled.


“Nice place to think.”


Willow was happy to hear that and took another admiring look out the window. She figured it was the nicest location in the whole restaurant, even with the apparent popularity of the floor seating. They were tucked away, weren’t sharing leg or arm space with anyone but each other, and they had a lovely view.


She turned to Tara with a grin.


“How long have you been flirting with the waiter to get us this table with no reservation?”


Tara held up one hand.


“I never flirted.”


“You don’t need to looking like that,” Willow said back, smirking over her hands which her chin was resting on.


Tara smiled, her own special mixture of bashful and sensual.


“It’s a shame all the floor space was taken up.”


Willow looked over to the people sitting on the ground, with little envy.


“I don’t think these skirts were made for crossed-legged sitting.”


Tara shrugged one shoulder.


“It rides up a bit, but it’s not uncomfortable.”


“Ah, so you show off a lot of thigh in this place,” Willow replied with a twinkle in her eye, “Everything is starting to make sense.”


Tara just smiled that same smile again, which Willow found much too alluring to simply sit still on the spot, so she busied herself with making up her lemonade. It was a lot different to the lemonade she was used to, but she kind of enjoyed the sourness and how it felt on her tongue.


A huge mezze plate arrived with all kinds of salads; dips; stuffed grape leaves for dipping; even more flatbread; meats; cheeses and savoury pastries. Tara named everything for Willow and suggested what to dip where, then started to do it for her; reaching across to offer it on her fingers.


Willow returned the gesture and noticed Tara was completely unselfconscious feeding and being fed. She was even making a point to lick Willow’s fingers while biting down as if they were the only two there and not in a packed restaurant.


She was happy to see that being in Paris had brought her girlfriend out in herself and given her the opportunity to make friends outside of their coupledom. She hated every second they were apart, but could see it had meant a lot for Tara’s personal growth and confidence and that eased the heartache a bit, or at least would when she had to leave again. There could be no heartbreak when Tara was licking her fingers the way she was.


She was pretty full by the time they polished off the mezze, but her hunger reignited when a tagine pot was brought and the coned lid was lifted, sending sweet steam up her nose.


“Is this rice?” she asked, pointing to the soft mix on top of the meats and vegetables.


“Couscous,” Tara replied, slipping her fork under some and offering it to Willow.


Willow tried it and didn’t hate it; the consistency was different, but it had absorbed the other flavours well and was nice in the mouth when mixed with a piece of lamb and one of the toasted almonds.


She enjoyed continuing the communal theme of their meal, sharing the pot and each other’s forks every so often.


Just as they were finishing up, the music seemed to get a little louder, and three belly dancers in full dress appeared at the other end of the restaurant. There were some cheers, then the ladies began their dance around the room.


It was all very civilised from what Willow could see; no one was trying to touch or grab the dancers and there was an appreciation the customer’s eyes that was hung up on more than their bodies.


She saw the same look in Tara’s eyes, artist’s eyes, and realised that Tara saw the world in the same way she saw Tara; beauty in every way it moved.


She smiled and fell a little bit more in love with her girlfriend. She found herself swaying slightly on the spot to the beat and one of the dancers was attracted over to them. Willow giggled as some fabric brushed past her face and blushed when two heaving breasts were shaken in her face.


She saw Tara grinning which just made her redder and the dancer moved on to the next table. Willow smiled at her own silly reaction and reached across the table to take Tara’s hands.


“So this is what your world is like,” she said, turning Tara’s palms over and drawing circles, “I only knew our world.”


Tara played with Willow’s fingers.


“Our world is my favourite place there is.”


Willow just smiled.


“Show me more of yours.”


Tara returned the smile and looked over to the waiter to indicate for the check. She reached for her purse and put her hand over Willow’s.


“I got it.”


Tara paid with cash and Willow didn’t object; mostly because she’d brought nothing but her own person with her. She was a little bit embarrassed, as the principal treater in the relationship, but reminded herself she was in Tara’s world for the night and would do as Tara said.


“Thanks, baby. It was really delicious. We should try Lebanese more at home.”


“Yeah, you’ve suggested it once or twice, but we’ve always gone with something else,” Tara replied, unwrapping a mint that came back with her change, “Ready to go?”


Willow nodded and stood up, grabbing the other mint and following Tara, who kissed their waiter on both cheeks on the way out.


“Au revoir, merci!”


Willow made a motion as if to say ‘same’, then stepped outside with Tara.


“Jeez, it’s cold. Is this club far?”


“No, two blocks and around the corner,” Tara replied, taking Willow’s hand and rubbing it between hers to warm her, “You’ll hear the music in another couple of feet.”


Sure enough, after a few steps, loud music started to fill the streets and neon lights flashed once they turned that corner. There was a twenty-person line waiting outside the door, but Tara walked them right in with a smile from the bouncer as he stepped aside.


Willow felt extraordinarily cool as they brushed past the people waiting in the cold, through a tight hallway and coat check into the main bar area. The place was filled with trendy youths sipping on cocktails on white leather couches with all kinds of LED low lighting on the walls. House music was playing and making the walls hum.


Willow found the attack on the senses dizzying, but in a way she found quite intoxicating. Tara pointed her to an empty two-person L shaped couch in the corner and sauntered off to the bar. Willow went and sat down, for the first time ever feeling unselfconscious and like she fit in in a place like that.


She noticed Tara coming back from the bar with two cocktail glasses with a red liquid inside. She also noticed she wasn’t the only one looking.


Tara came and sat down, handing off one of the glasses.


“Oh, I’m still not drinking,” Willow said, taking it all the same.


“I know, it’s virgin,” Tara replied sweetly, over the music, with one hand on Willow’s thigh, “It’s a berry cooler, they’re really popular.”


Willow smiled and took a sip.


“Oh, thanks.”


Tara sat back into the sofa with one arm draped across the top and her legs crossed invitingly at the knee.


Willow spent a while watching her; the gentle flicks of her hair, the long, slow sips of her drink, the way she bared her throat as she swallowed. It was evocative and Willow didn’t think it was unintentional.


“You like it.”


“What?” Tara asked, smiling at Willow in that special way that really was just for her.


Willow was momentarily distracted by it, but stayed on point and shuffled closer.


“The attention.”


Tara shifted on the spot and took another long sip.


“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”


Willow surprised herself by not being in the least bit jealous. Tara was with her and only had eyes for her, even if she enjoyed bringing others eyes onto to herself. People could look all they wanted, but she was Tara’s and Tara was hers. That was the most evocative experience of the entire evening and Willow had no problem showing it off.


“It’s okay. It’s nice to be noticed,” she said, putting a hand on Tara’s thigh and rubbing it up and down, “That girl over there can’t keep her eyes off you.”


Tara cast a cursory glance to the corner where a tall, leggy brunette tipped her drink in their direction. Tara barely noticed her for a second, however, as she felt Willow’s lips press into her neck.


“What are you doing?”


Willow felt on top of the world to be Tara’s main focus and was totally turned on.


“Like you said, we all have our moments. I’m having a confident one.”


Tara didn’t give a damn who or what else was in the room. It was nice to be noticed, and she had been taught a lesson or two in the art of alluring in her time in Paris, but it had been nothing but games until Willow arrived and suddenly the erotic feelings on her end were very real.


She didn’t protest for a second when Willow kissed her, with tongue, despite it being the most graphic PDA they’d ever engaged in. They made out in the corner, forgetting about everyone but each other until they were getting too hot and bothered, even in the showing off kind of mood they were in.


Willow necked her drink, so Tara followed suit and was then pulled up and across the bar and back out to the hallway. Willow ducked behind Tara, who had no idea what was going on, but was caught up in the heat of it all.


“Distract her,” Willow whispered, referring to the coat check woman.


“What?” Tara murmured, while smiling politely at the woman.


“Tell her there’s a bunch of coats dumped outside the door,” Willow whispered back.


Tara communicated the message as smoothly as possible to the woman, who looked at them strangely, then went outside the door to check. Willow grabbed her moment and tugged Tara first behind the desk, then around the curtain to the backroom, where there were rails of jackets and various boxes against the back wall.


Willow brought Tara behind all the rails and pushed her up against some of the boxes. Tara’s heart was racing; she wouldn’t trade a second of Willow’s gaze on hers for hours of a million others.


Willow scraped her teeth against Tara’s neck and gnawed gently on her tender skin for a moment. She ran a hand down Tara’s chest and stomach, then slid under her skirt. When Tara didn’t stop her, Willow dropped to her knees and yanked her girlfriend’s panties down, then twirled them on her finger.


“I see Paris, I see France, I see Tara’s underpants…”


She grabbed the other side and sling-shot them across the room.


Tara’s eyes followed their flight in shock, then snapped back to Willow, who had taken Tara’s foot on her shoulder and was kissing along the edges of skin peeking out from the stiletto.


Willow continued kissing right up to Tara’s knee, where she released Tara’s leg, stood back up and encouraged Tara’s hips up onto the nearest box.


Tara didn’t fight it.


“What are you doing?” she asked, heart pounding in her throat.


“What you want me to do,” Willow replied, eyes both daring and asking for permission.


Tara wasn’t thinking cohesively at all, but she did know she didn’t want to stop. She leaned back, hiked up her skirt and held Willow’s head in place as it bobbed between her legs moments later.


She tried to keep as still as possible, unsure what was in the boxes holding her weight, but arousal was spinning fast around her and her hips were responding to Willow’s mouth of their own accord.


The rush of excitement was dizzying and she could feel the knot already tightening in her stomach. She could hear her blood pumping and heart hammering but couldn’t hear her own moans as they got louder when she started to orgasm.


It came hard and fast, slamming into her like a sucker punch of pleasure to her belly.


Willow was close to coming herself, her body humming with Tara’s taste on her lips. She was about to launch a second round of tongue when she heard the rustling of the curtain.


“Bonjour?”


She stilled and glanced up to see Tara frozen in terror too. There was some movement of the rails behind them, then silence and tugging of the curtain again.


With adrenaline roaring through her veins, Willow spotted the fire door, grabbed Tara’s hand and ran them out and around the nearest corner. They stopped to catch their breath three blocks away, where Willow slumped into Tara with laughter, pushing her up against the wall.


The laughter was infectious and Tara too was giggling as she tugged on her skirt, then suddenly realised there was nothing on underneath.


“My panties!”


Willow lifted her head with her flushed cheeks.


“Did they have your name on them?”


Tara smiled again and shook her head.


“Not since I was ten.”


“I had them ‘til I was 19,” Willow admitted with a further blush.


“Did you still have them when we met?” Tara asked, lifting an eyebrow playfully.


“Not once I started letting you see me in them, that’s for sure,” Willow replied with an adorable smile that made Tara melt.


Willow met Tara’s eyes as her chin was lifted with one finger and their lips met softly. Kissing under the streetlight in Paris was one of the most romantic things she’d ever experienced, so much so she even felt her foot pop up behind her.


They could have been kissing for minutes or hours, Willow didn’t know, but she savoured every second of it until Tara broke the kiss to grab her hand. They ran home and Willow felt almost high, lost in a blur of Tara.


Before she knew it, she was on the bed and Tara’s skin was gliding against hers.


When did we take our clothes off?


She felt drunk with desire and Tara apparently noticed, because she stopped what she was doing and touched Willow’s cheek.


“Are you okay?”


The lack of Tara’s touch sobered Willow up immediately. She rested her hands on the back of Tara’s neck and pulled her close.


“Please don’t stop.”


Tara moved her forehead onto Willow’s and sensuously slid her hands down her girlfriend’s sides. She curved her hands over Willow’s hips, then hiked Willow’s knees over her waist and leaned her lower body in at an angle so their lips slid together.


Willow thrust herself up to meet Tara and slid her hands into her girlfriend’s hair, clinging to her with palpable need.


Tara dropped her head to Willow’s chest, kissing her breasts and tonguing her nipples into stiff peaks. Willow moaned uncontrollably; sounds rising from the back of her throat as deep pleasure sprung around her body.


Tara’s mouth was hot and wet on her chest and imitating the lower caress, driving Willow wild. The way Tara’s body moved with hers was so spine-tingling erotic that she barely felt in control of herself.


Willow’s body was a soft, safe haven for Tara, where she just wanted to sink into and stay forever. She dragged her lips up to the tender skin of Willow’s neck and felt the beat of her pulse. She wanted, needed, to feel it deeper, so her hand slid down Willow’s body as if it was silk and entered her, slickly and fully.


Willow’s neck arched back against the pillow and she grabbed Tara’s cheeks to kiss. Her wrist slid past Tara’s and her fingers dipped into her girlfriend’s wetness, warming them with her arousal. She found Tara’s clit and began to rub her fingers over it, soft but fast and matching the rhythm inside her.


“Willow…” Tara groaned into Willow’s kiss, their lips humming together with a harmonised moan.


Their bodies bumped and grinded together, creating a thick, sticky air above and around them. Willow loved it, and the feeling of Tara’s weight on her; being pressed into the bed and thrust into so deeply. Tara was everywhere all at once and she couldn’t get enough.


Tara was feeling much the same way, lost in everything Willow and all of its sweetness. Her lips were back in Willow’s neck and she could taste her saltiness from the sweat they were producing and sliding against each other.


She nipped at the sensitive spot of skin where Willow’s neck met her shoulder and immediately felt a clench around her fingers. She brought a palm to Willow’s breast and fondled there at the same time. Willow was coming undone in seconds and turning her head to scream into the pillow.


Tara was right on the edge as well and it only took her seconds more to follow, using Willow’s neck as her muffler.


They laid in that position, with Tara strewn on top of Willow, catching their breath together. Both were quietly enjoying the slowing of their heartbeats and each other’s embrace until Tara’s lips pressed against the hollow of Willow’s throat.


“I had the best night.”


“Since you got here?” Willow asked, delighted considering all of the tales Tara had told her.


Tara moved her cheek against Willow’s shoulder and curled the ends of her girlfriend’s hair around her fingers.


“Since ever.”


Willow smiled softly at Tara, though inside was jumping for joy. The quiet moment was too special to be broken so she just continued to gaze lovingly into Tara’s eyes. They shared some kisses and squeezes but Willow was caught up in the look in Tara’s eyes and how wonderful it made her feel without even knowing why.


“What are you thinking?”


Tara was contemplative for a few moments, then spent a moment drawing the features of Willow’s face with her finger.


“Claude Monet was pretty much the founder of French impressionism. His muse was his mistress Camille. He made dozens of paintings of her, right up until her death and even beyond in different forms. Her beauty to him inspired an entire movement that changed the entire way people think about art, even still today,” she spoke, soft and reverent, “You’re that for me. You give my life meaning. You give my life colour. I can see the beauty of the world because you allow me to experience the beauty of your love. It makes me feel like I could change the world.”


Willow opened her mouth, but quickly closed it again, thinking she didn’t have the words. After a moment though, she realise she only needed three.


“I love you.”


Tara turned her nose into Willow’s neck and inhaled softly for a moment, then lifted the sheet up over their heads so they were cocooned in blankets. She rested her forehead on Willow’s and kissed her softly.


“And I love you.”


She twined both sets of fingers and lifted Willow’s arms either side of her head, elbows bent. Then, circling each palm with three fingers, she kissed from wrist to wrist, bridging across Willow’s throat.


She made a return journey and stopped off to leave a tender love bite on Willow’s neck. When the mark was coming up nicely, she tongued the spot gently and up to Willow’s ear.


“Will you do me a favour?” she whispered, kissing Willow’s lobe.


“You know there’s nothing I won’t say yes to when you’re naked on top of me,” Willow replied, arms still strewn above her head as she abandoned herself to Tara’s touch.


Tara smiled against Willow’s skin.


“I just want you to mail my internship application for the state agency when you get home. It’ll be cheaper and less chance of it getting lost. I have to have it in by next week.”


“Oh yeah, sure. No problem,” Willow said with a small bat of her hand, “I thought you were going to ask me something kinky.”


Tara smirked.


“Well who knows what I might ask later…”


Willow grinned, then chuckled and finally stretched out with a satisfied sigh.


“Hey, I have something for you.”


She ducked under the sheet and moved around so her head was at the end and she could pull her bag across the floor to root through. Only a moment passed before Tara was joining her in her upside down adventures.


“I would have only been gone five seconds,” Willow said with a soft smile.


“Too long,” Tara replied, kissing Willow’s shoulder, “Missed you.”


Willow unzipped the front pouch and began looking among her few packed items.


“I liked sleeping upside down when I was a kid, in my rare bouts of rebellion.”


Tara’s lips pressed into Willow’s neck again, drawn to her like a magnet.


“I love a bad girl.”


Willow blushed and smiled, then produced a flat, gold rectangle box with a white bow on top that had gotten slightly squished. Willow tried to liven it up a bit, then handed it over sheepishly.


“Happy anniversary.”


Tara took it and held it in her hands while pressing repeated kisses against Willow’s cheek.


“You are as sweet as sweet can be. As if you coming all this way and the flowers weren't enough.”


She lifted the lid and sitting inside on some white foam, was a gold heart shaped locket on a gold chain. She turned it in her hand and saw ‘Love, W’ on the back, making her smile. She then popped it open and noticed there was a picture either side.


Her eye was drawn to the one on the left first, which was the face of her mother in one of the few photos she had of her.


“I hope you don’t mind,” Willow said when she saw her staring, “I made sure the original got back to its safe space.”


Tara was too choked up to speak, so just shook her head. She blinked away a tear so Willow wouldn’t get the wrong idea, then glanced at the other side and laughed at the photo while tracing the outline.


Willow smiled nervously at the picture of herself.


“I didn’t want to be presumptuous, but…”


“You can absolutely be presumptuous,” Tara replied, putting her arm around Willow’s shoulders and leaning in to kiss her, “You are my heart.”


She let the kiss linger, then smiled back at the photo.


“I love this picture of you.”


Willow’s nose scrunched.


“Yeah, I know…but I don’t know why. I think I look goofy.”


Tara continued to gaze at it affectionately.


“You just laughed at one of my bad jokes and had this adorable little smile…” she said as she leaned her head in onto Willow’s shoulder, “Like I said, there’s something tiny waiting for you at home…I’ll bring you a proper present when I’m coming back.”


“You treated me to dinner,” Willow replied, then had her fingers dance along Tara’s spine, “And dessert…”


Tara giggled and Willow smiled at the joyful sound, while continuing to rub Tara’s back.


“I’m serious though, don’t get me anything. You finally have some money to spoil yourself with and I want you to enjoy every penny. I’ll be mad if you get me something.”


“Okay, okay, I don’t want to argue,” Tara replied and held up the necklace to her neck, “Put it on me?”


Willow took the chain and hooked it around her neck. She encouraged Tara onto her back and watched the locket fall above her breasts.


Tara’s breath quickened as Willow’s mouth followed the frame of the chain from under-ear to under-ear. She lifted Willow’s chin to kiss her, then rolled on top with her hands on Willow’s breasts.


“How about some seconds of that dessert?”


Willow’s head tilted back over the end of the bed and eyes fluttered closed as her skin became familiar with Tara’s lips again.


“Yes…ma’am…”

WOOHOO Chapter 100 YAY go Laragh :banana

Tara’s hands instantly migrated towards Willow’s ass and Willow knew she’d chosen the right option with her excessive lotioning earlier.

And already we're there with naughtiness in the form of Willow's shapely ass, yummy :wink :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool

while her head was propped on one of [b]Tara’s breasts[/b and a hand fondled the other.

And now Tara's magnificent chest :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool

I'm just off for a cold shower after all that hot sexiness.

And I'm back lol

I do like that despite Willow's reservations over Amelie Tara would have liked her along and she reminds Willow how she didn't like Becky when they first met.

It's nice to see Tara is able to sell her art and buy new clothes though I never had any problems with Tara's wardrobe on Buffy in fact I thought some of her clothes were pretty good.

Tara’s words about not accepting the love she deserved suddenly hit home and swallowed a deep lump.

I know how Tara feels if you remeber my FB posts about my depression in December and you Laragh are one of the people who let me know how loved and cared for I really am and you can never know how grateful for that I truly am to you for that.

It seems that Willow made the right decision filling in that form for Tara as she has grown more confident in her time in Paris.

Willow giggled... and blushed when two heaving breasts were shaken in her face.

Hmmmm breasts :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool sorry Laragh I don't mean for all this :drool but take it as a compliment to your writing skills that you get this humble Kitten all hot and sweaty over your stories.

Willow still had her name in her panties when she was 19????? Way too much info there, Waaaaaayyyyyyy too much.

I adore Willow's present for Tara. A heart shaped locket with photos of herself and Tara's mother inside it. It shows how romantic Willow truly is.

Another very fun chapter and finally we get the girls out of their bed and onto the streets visiting other places. Hopefully there may be more of the same next week unless Willow has to go back to the States, which she could be considering Tara wants to her application sent for an internship in the following week.

You don't always like your partner's friends, it's a reality of life!

I like their quirky clothes too, but unfortunately when they become professionals their wardrobe changes to match! But I enjoyed featuring some of their 'classic' clothes in this fic.

She did, she made a selfless decision for Tara's betterment, and if that's not love, I don't know what is.

She certainly strikes me as the name on panties type.

Willow's the biggest romantic, there's no doubt about that.

Wait...YOU want them out of bed?? Has hell frozen over?? :P :P I would have liked to write them visiting more of Paris, but I was constrained by what was said in Hacker, and that was that A) They screwed all weekend and B) Willow didn't see any of the sights until their late honeymoon trip.

Willow does unfortunately have to go back...but Tara won't be too far behind her!

Thanks for your feedback :)

Chapter 101

********

Tara fixed Willow’s purple beanie on her head, affectionately.


Busy travellers were whooshing past them as they scrambled to get through security and to their boarding gates, but Willow and Tara had been standing there for ten minutes, struggling to say goodbye.


“Call me when you get home,” Tara instructed, continuing to touch Willow as appropriately as possible by smoothing the collar of her sweatshirt.


Willow didn’t mind the fussing in the slightest and was opening and closing the same button on Tara’s jacket in a similar manner.


“I’ll text, it’ll be late your time.”


Tara pulled Willow to her by each hoody string and pressed their foreheads together.


“Call. Me.”


Willow smiled softly and nodded. She tilted her head and kissed Tara gently, but their lips were separated when a gruff, red-eyed business man roughly bumped his shoulder into Tara as he passed, muttering under his breath.


“Gouines.”


“Hey!” Willow called after him, then looked back at Tara, “What did he just call you?”


“He didn’t call me anything,” Tara replied, rolling her eyes, “He did call us something, though.”


“Yeah, I can make a wild guess,” Willow replied, shaking her head, “Oh well, hopefully that’s the asshole quota of the day used up.”


Tara slid her hands down Willow’s arms and twined both sets of fingers.


“You better go.”


Willow dropped her head, nodded and sighed. Tara lifted Willow’s chin and touched her cheek tenderly while turning the locket hanging from her neck with her other hand.


“Remember, you’re in my heart,” she whispered for only them to hear, “Just two weeks.”


Willow crossed her arms around Tara’s back and buried her face in her girlfriend’s neck. Tara cradled her head gently and kissed the parting of her hair.


“You’ll never know how much this meant to me.”


“Know exactly,” Willow replied, determined not to cry and leave on a sour note, so she pulled away and busied herself with picking up her bag, “Okay. Boarding and such. Gotta catch that flight.”


Tara knew Willow was trying to conceal her face, so squeezed her shoulder instead.


“I love you, darling.”


Willow’s resolve broke and she flung herself into Tara’s arms again. They held each other until a boarding announcement was made for Willow’s flight and there was some panic seeing as she hadn’t even gone through security yet.


Their goodbye was a bit of a hurried, mutual kiss on the cheek and hand squeeze, but it was for the best as both of their emotions were drawn out as it was. Willow kept glancing back and smiling at Tara through the line and out the other side, then finally had to give that last wave goodbye before making a sprint for her gate.


She breathed in relief when there were a couple of people still lining up when she got there and joined the end with her boarding pass out and ready.


When she was on the plane, her eyes tracked the seat numbers until she found hers.


While holding up her bag to put in the luggage compartment, she caught sight of the man sitting in the window to her aisle and had to resist kicking the seat when she recognised him and his shoving shoulders from earlier.


He glanced up and saw her, turned his nose up and adjusted himself so his back was to her. Willow was fine with that arrangement and shoved her bag inside before sitting down in much the same manner.


She fastened her seatbelt with a sigh.


This is gonna be a long flight.





Tara returned the sad wave Willow was sending her, then watched until every single strand of her red hair disappeared from sight. She retreated back to one of the chairs in front of a glass wall and watched the runway.


There were a few planes from Willow’s airline, so Tara didn’t know which, if any, her girlfriend was on, but she stayed to watch them all fly off. Her heart was heavy but also lifted with the re-injected spirit of Willow she’d been gifted.


She eventually decided it was time to leave and found her way to the train to get back to the city.


She got off early and decided to walk around the city to clear her head. It was cold, and her hands felt the lack of Willow’s warmth, but her heart was warmed by the memories.


She smiled to herself as she walked around the city that Willow had seen none of from outside a taxi, but it didn’t matter. She wouldn’t have changed a second of their weekend.


She was almost home again when she stopped outside the restaurant they’d dined at and stopped to look down the alley of side-streets where Willow had gotten her first and only proper look at the Eiffel Tower.


It was a bit of a trek but she decided some Monday afternoon reflection was just what she needed, seeing as she’d blown off her classes for the day anyway. She headed out in that direction, stopping to get herself a mocha in honour of Willow.


The wait wasn’t as bad as other days she’d been at the tower, and she loved the beautiful scenery around so much that she never minded.


She got to the deck with half a cup of lukewarm coffee, but it was still pleasant on her throat as she sipped it on a bench. People passed by and stopped to look out but she was happy to be by herself and think.


She thought about how much effort, time and money Willow had gone to for them to be together for their anniversary and how much she was loved. She thought she knew, but Willow just kept showing her it was more, it was endless and nothing her mind could comprehend.


But her heart could, because it returned the affections right back.


She was so grateful to every person who had made her trip to Paris possible, Willow most of all, and had taken things from the experience she would carry through her life and never forget. But she knew in the wake of their second goodbye, that she never wanted to say it to Willow again.


She closed her eyes and let her mind wander to a familiar fantasy she had when she was in that spot; imagining herself on one knee with a shiny ring on a sunny day with the rays hitting Willow like the angel she was to Tara.


The fantasy was silent, just joy and love in their actions and a big fat ‘yes’ that she didn’t need to hear to have it hit her heart.


Her eyes fluttered open and there was a brief second as her eyes readjusted that she could see the scene in her head playing out in front of her.


She sipped her coffee with a smile.


Maybe someday.





Willow came out of the campus mail centre with Tara’s application mailed and the package from Paris under her arm. She’d gone straight there when she got back to campus and hadn’t even dropped her bag home yet, wanting to get Tara’s letter off before giving herself a chance to forget.


She had been slightly grumbling Tara’s name for the detour, but knew it was mostly just tiredness from the journey home.


Her seatmate had spent the entire flight dictating notes into a recorder and drinking plenty of wine to annoy Willow into standing every twenty minutes. She hadn’t gotten any sleep and the man’s BO had put her off her food. Only when she found her set of earphones in a side pocket, could she close her eyes and relive the memories of the weekend in some peace.


She had pretended to be asleep and let her wine-bladdered buddy orchestrate his own escape to the toilet for the second half of the flight. She was the first one ready to jump off the plane when it landed.


She wasn’t about to let one jerk ruin her weekend and was looking forward to opening her package and her promised phone call with Tara.


Finally the doors to her building loomed and she felt her arms grow heavy at the prospect of finally throwing herself onto the bed. She walked through and headed straight for the hallway, but someone came flying out of the student lounge to stop her.


“Willow, hi,” Becky greeted, moving around to stand in front, “Are you okay? I tried to check in on you when we got back last night but you weren’t around. Where were you? I was freaking out that you slit your wrists or something! Was your weekend okay?”


Willow bobbed her head in the affirmative.


“It was excellent.”


“Really?” Becky asked, surprise evident, “I thought you’d be all mopey about the anniversary.”


“I was,” Willow confirmed.


Becky waited for some kind of continuation.


“And…?”


“And then I was un-mopey,” Willow said, not seeing the frustrated look on Becky’s face.


“How come?” Becky prodded.


Willow smiled happily.


“‘Cause I went to Tara.”


Becky’s eyes widened.


“You went to…do you mean you went to Paris? France?”


“Yep,” Willow nodded, “Just got back.”


“Just hopped on a plane to Paris for the weekend?” Becky asked in disbelief.


“Yep,” Willow repeated.


“Wow,” Becky replied, clearly a bit blown away, “How is she?”


Willow lit up.


“She’s great. She’s having such a nice time and really grown, she's confident and happy,” she said, smiling at the memories, “She said to say hi and hi to Jack and that she's happy to hear you were going away together. So, um, how was your dirty weekend?”


“Lived up to its name,” Becky replied with a grin, then squeezed Willow’s arm, “Pizza sometime this week when you don’t look so exhausted?”


Willow blushed.


“You know, flight and everything.”


Becky winked.


“Uh huh and no sleep all weekend, am I right?”


“We went out!” Willow replied, leaving out it had been under duress at first, “To, to dinner, and to a dance club.”


Becky did a pretend grind up against Willow.


“Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.”


Willow squirmed out of her way.


“Are you quoting at me again?”


Becky stopped and smiled.


“Glad your weekend was as good as mine. When you’re talking to Tara again you can tell her those tips she gave me before are working out gre–”


“La, la, la, la,” Willow replied, putting her fingers in her ears, “Goodbye, yes to pizza.”


“Call me!” Becky called after her, a pep still in her step from her own special weekend.


Willow fished out her keys and only dropped them once while trying to open the door. She went straight for the bed, dropping her bag at the foot of it and jumping on while kicking off her shoes.


She carefully ripped open the top of the padded envelope and emptied out the contents; a big A4 size homemade card with lots of detail and Tara’s signature artistic flair and a very small rectangle notebook.


Willow looked through it and realised pretty quick it was a flipbook. She got her thumb in the right spot and flicked through it to see an animation of Tara at the Eiffel Tower with a cartoonish heart, which was sent across the ocean on a plane to Willow sitting in their room, much like she was at that moment.


Willow swallowed a lump and turned on her side, flicking through the book again and again and again. Eventually she realised she was making Tara wait on her call, so ran to the bathroom quickly beforehand to be free to talk.


On her way back, she noticed the fish bowl was lacking any activity and approached it with a concerned look on her face.


“Miss Fishy?”


Her face turned white when she saw her fish floating at the top, lifeless. She tapped the glass forlornly and sunk into the desk chair when nothing happened.


“Miss Fishy…I’m so sorry.”


She kept a hand on the bowl and watched the fish’s still gills for any sign of movement, but her eyes just began to ache under the pressure.


She blinked a few times, with an accompanying few tears, then took out her phone and dialled Tara. The rings felt long, but eventually there was the click.


“Hi baby,” Tara greeted, sleepily but full of warmth.


“Hi baby,” Willow returned both sad, and happy to hear her voice, “Calling, like you asked.”


“You don’t sound too good,” Tara replied tenderly, “Was it a bad flight?”


Willow shook her head, then realised Tara couldn’t see her. She sniffled and cleared her throat a couple of times.


“T-Tara, I have something to tell you…”


“What is it?” Tara asked, soft.


Willow’s face crumpled and she began to blubber into her hand.


“I killed Miss Fishy!”


Tara sent soothing sounds down the line but Willow was already distraught.


“I came home and she was dead. She was supposed to be okay, it was just a couple of days!”


“Oh, Willow, it’s okay. It was an accident,” Tara tried to reassure, “She probably wasn’t in the best health anyway if she couldn’t survive the few days.”


“And I left her!” Willow sobbed.


“It’s not your fault, these things happen,” Tara said, tone gentle.


Willow clumsily wiped her sleeve at her eyes.


“I’m so sorry.”


“Oh love, it’s okay,” Tara replied, wishing she was there to offer a hug, “She had a lovely life. You played with her every day and she was warm and fed and had all her toys. She probably got sick and there was nothing we could have done.”


Willow sniffled again.


“I’m gonna have to do her funeral w-without you.”


“Do you want to do it now? On the phone?” Tara asked.


Willow nodded though she was the only one who could see.


“Y-Yeah, okay.”


“It’s going to be okay,” Tara assured, “Take your time.”


Willow stood up and got the net to lift her out with.


“I’m j-just moving her to the,” she started, unable to bring herself to say ‘toilet’, “Big bowl.”


She carried the net into the bathroom and gently released the fish into the water.


“She’s ready,” she said, taking a solemn step back, “Say something?”


Tara cleared her throat on the other end before speaking.


“Miss Fishy Fantastico was a wonderful fish. She always came when you tapped and she loved her exercise rings and getting lost in her plants.”


“And she had the swishiest tail,” Willow added in, grabbing some tissue to wipe her nose with.


“She was our fish and our friend and we’ll miss her every day,” Tara said, her tone low and reverent, “Thank you for being there for us.”


Some more tears fell from Willow’s eyes as she reached out to tap the flush.


“Just keep swimming, Miss Fishy Fantastico.”


The fish disappeared in the whirl of water and Tara’s voice was immediately comforting in Willow’s ear.


“I’m so sorry I’m not there. I’m giving you a big hug.”


Willow stayed respectably in place until the flush died down, then went back to curl up on the bed.


“It was just a shock, you know?”


“I know, honey,” Tara said back, “And you must be exhausted.”


“Yeah, a little,” Willow replied, leaving her phone on the pillow.


“Have you eaten?” Tara probed.


Willow felt a pang of hunger.


“No.”


“I think you should break out your Oreo stash,” Tara replied conspiringly, “You probably have a few Chips Ahoy in there too.”


A hint of a smile graced Willow’s face.


“You’re sexy when you speak cookie.”


“Oh yeah?” Tara asked, matching smile heard through her voice, “Wait ‘til you hear about my snickerdoodle.”


“I’d love to get my hands on your moon pies,” Willow replied, finally breaking out in a giggle and taking Tara’s advice to hit the sugar to cheer herself up, “This Oreo is only the number two thing I’ve licked this weekend. I really enjoyed your Savannah Smile.”


“Too far, Willow,” Tara replied with a snort, “Leave the Girl Scouts out of your euphemisms.”


“You’re acting like an oatmeal raisin right now,” Willow replied with mock-scorn.


“What’s that supposed to mean?” Tara replied, smiling.


“Nobody likes you,” Willow said, adopting an air of haughtiness, “You better shape up and turn into Chocolate Chip real quick.”


“I think I’m more of a White Chocolate Macadamia,” Tara replied, voice adopting a silky tone, “Smooth vanilla with a little bite.”


Willow closed her eyes and imagined that bite.


“Are you trying to turn me on?”


“I have to try now?” Tara asked, and Willow could see the cocked eyebrow that accompanied that tone in her mind; only serving to turn her on more.


Willow paused, unsure where she wanted to take this. She was upset, but she could also use some comfort.


She moved her hand under her dress and slipped her fingers under her tights, just to the first knuckle. She listened to Tara’s breathing for a moment and could almost feel it on her neck, prompting her fingers to fall a little bit lower. She was damp and it was hard to resist feeling good.


“No trying. I’m wet already.”


She heard Tara’s breath quicken and it excited her even more.


“Are your panties wet?” Tara’s voice came, sultry and low.


Willow dipped her middle finger between her lips.


“My fingers are.”


“Naughty,” Tara commented.


“As naughty as you spreading your legs for me in the cloakroom?” Willow retorted with a grin.


There was silence for a few moments, apart from some heavier breathing.


“Hold on.”


Willow waited, hearing sounds of shuffling and what she hoped was clothing removal on the other end. Finally Tara’s voice came through again.


“I’m wet too.”


Willow’s hips squirmed in delight and she lowered her tights to her knees.


“My favourite thing this weekend was bending you over the chair and taking you from behind.”


Willow heard Tara moan.


“I loved feeling your pussy grind against my ass,” Tara said breathlessly.


Willow felt herself clench and accidentally ripped her tights when she spread her knees. The sound was loud enough to carry down the line.


“What was that?”


“Nothing, nothing,” Willow replied quickly, yanking off what was left of the material off her ankles, “Keep going.”


“Okay,” Tara said in a soft breath, “I loved when you reached under me and explored me…drove me crazy.”


Willow remembered her fingertips gliding through Tara’s folds and tried to recreate the sensation on herself.


“You felt so good.”


“Your thighs were on my thighs,” Tara continued, her tone indicating her growing arousal, “And your fingers dipped inside…then filled me.”


Willow glanced at the nightstand and thought about using the vibrator, but didn’t want the noise to put Tara off. She moved her fingers lower and pushed inside with a soft sigh.


“You were so nice and tight.”


A similar sigh was passed down the phone and Willow guessed Tara was in much the same position.


“You were so deep,” Tara said, “I just wanted to take all of you inside me.”


“I know, I wanted to stretch you out,” Willow replied in a moan, “I curled my fingers and pulled you back…again and again…soft and hot and tight.”


Her belly flopped and she slid her fingers back up to rub her clit all the while imagining plunging into Tara again and again. Their moans and actions matched each other and each only managed a few passing erotic words, mostly getting off by listening to each other coming.


As Willow’s toes uncurled from orgasm, she left her hand tucked between her legs and leaned her ear right onto the phone as if it might bring her closer to Tara.


“Did you come, baby?”


“Mmhhm. Talk about a midnight treat,” Tara replied in a satisfied tone.


“I feel better,” Willow said, slowly letting her hand fall away from her legs, “Still miss you though. Just two weeks, right?”


“Just two weeks,” Tara reassured, “And we will talk every night, I don’t care if I have to get up at 3am to do it.”


“I love you, Tare-bear,” Willow replied, curling up again on her side, “Will you sing to me?”


“What should I sing?” Tara asked.


“Hmm,” Willow asked, thinking for a moment, then smiled, “Frère Jacques. I want to hear that sexy accent again.”


There was a soft laugh and then Tara began reciting the nursery rhyme. Willow snuggled into the pillow and closed her eyes softly.


Everything would be alright as long as she had Tara in mind, body or spirit.


But she really couldn’t wait until she had all three together again.

Yay for excellent update-y goodness... Sad that Miss Fishy had to take the trip to the big bowl :( ... Can't wait for Tara to finally come home to Willow so that they can reconnect properly without time- or space-concerns...

Hey Laragh :bigwave

It's nice to see Tara able to sell her art and buy new clothes...

I actuallly remember this happening in another W/T story 'The Amazing Kitten Race' based on The Amazing Race, an American gameshow where contestants compete in a round the world quiz.

Yeah I will :drool over anyone's breasts as long as they're Amber's lol :p but I am a breast fan just like Willow so I guess we both share good taste.

Calling Willow and Tara 'gouines'? I guess not everyone in France is as open minded as we thought. Asswipe grr argh.

So sad when the girls are saying goodbye to each other at the airport.

She thought about how much effort, time and money Willow had gone to for them to be together for their anniversary and how much she was loved.

Everybody deserves someone who will go to all this trouble just to be with them during an enforced separation regardless as to whether or not they are gay straight or bi.

It's nice to see that all three girls have had good weekends. :)

I do like the idea of the flipboolk that Tara got Willow. I gotta say little things like that do appeal to romantic in me.

It may sound dumb but I really like the mother/daughter style interaction between Tara and Willow when Willow discovers Miss Fishy is dead. There's just something very sweet about it.

Good gravy, now you're getting the girls all hot and bothered over biscuits?????? I'm sure you're doing this on purpose just to get me to :drool again.

I really enjoyed this weeks chapter Laragh, it was a lot of fun to read and it should be nice to see Willow spending some catch-up time with Becky before Tara returns. Till next time :)

I'm glad, because I want the romance to come across!

Tara is very nurturing and there's definitely nothing wrong with showing that in a relationship.

Chapter 102

********

Willow was folding shirts into the dresser when there was a knock at the door.


She opened the door to Becky who presented her with a large pizza and a six-pack.


“I’m here, I’m not queer and I brought you beer!”


Willow stood aside to let her in.


“I’m not drinking alcohol right now, I told you…”


Becky shrugged and held the six-pack closer to her chest.


“More for me.”


She strutted in and left the contents of her arms down on the bed, near the last few pieces of Willow’s folded clothing.


“You did laundry?” she asked with a questioning eyebrow raise.


“I sent it to the dry cleaners,” Willow admitted sheepishly, before adding on quickly, “Don’t tell Tara.”


“Bestie seal of silence,” Becky replied, motioning a lock and key seal on her lips, “You must be getting excited she’s coming home soon.”


Willow sat on the bed cross-legged and smiled giddily.


“So much. She’s planning on getting a bus from the airport, but I’m going in to collect her.”


“Is it Saturday morning?” Becky asked and Willow nodded, “We can give you a ride if you want. Jack and I are going to Florida for spring break.”


Willow looked surprised as Becky popped the top on the pizza.


“Wow. First the weekend upstate, now this,” Willow said, swinging her legs off the bed to grab a soda from the mini-fridge, “You really seem like you’re into him.”


Becky sighed happily.


“He’s dreamy. I love being with him. In every way there is.”


Willow sat back down and took a slice.


“I know that feeling. Pro tip: don’t fill out an application form for them that will separate you for eight weeks.”


“Nob kibbing,” Becky replied through a mouthful of pie before washing it down with some beer, “I can’t imagine not seeing his cutesy smile for that long.”


“Ugh, enough of your lovesick when I’m lovelorn,” Willow replied as she got her mouth around a large piece of pepperoni, “Tell me other stuff. Aren’t you doing your student teacher gigs?”


“Yeah and you know what I learned?” Becky asked, taking a swig of beer, “Kids are assholes. I don’t want any of them as much as I don’t want to get married.”


Willow smiled and shook her head to herself. They talked about the minutia of their lives until Becky was sprawled across the bed, a little bit tipsy and glassy eyed.


She closed her arms around Willow’s pillow, barely able to keep her eyes open.


“Carry me…can’t do stairs.”


“You can sleep over if you want,” Willow offered, completely sober and already in her panda pyjamas.


Becky mumbled against the pillow.


“Will Tara kick my ass if she knows I slept in your bed?”


“Only if you try to grab my boob,” Willow replied, reminding her to take her phone out and send Tara a text to wake up to.


Becky smirked.


“If I wanted to grab a boob, I’d wait until Tara came home,” she said, cracking one eye open, then cracking up herself, “Your face…”


Willow had a mini-pout on her face.


“Sometimes I don’t know you’re a hundred percent joking when you flirt with her…”


“Flirting is a woman’s trade, one must keep in practice,” Becky intoned with a flourishing wrist movement.


Willow sighed.


“Well as long as you don’t ask her to do a threesome or something…”


“Not even once?” Becky asked and immediately got a pillow smacked over her head, “Jeez Louise, what are best friends if they can’t share?”


“She’s the only important thing that belongs to me, and I completely belong to her,” Willow replied, more impassioned than she intended, “So quit it before I get mad.”


Becky entangled herself around Willow’s legs.


“Oh Willow billow fo fillow. Don’t be mad at little old me.”


Willow rolled her eyes, but it was good-natured.


“Stay on your side of the bed,” she said, rolling Becky back over, “And don’t mess up her smell.”


She decided to swap out their pillows just to be on the safe side. She didn’t want to give up the lingering scent of Tara. It calmed her and helped her sleep.


She laid down, finished her text to Tara and sent it, then nuzzled into the pillow and closed her eyes. Becky was already snoring.


It was nice to feel another weight in the bed again, and she could only smile thinking of the ticking seconds until it would be weight she really wanted.





Tara snuck into the dark room, rolling her suitcase behind her.


It was still night outside and there was barely any light once she closed the door behind her. She was so happy to be back in that room though and she was able to find her way over to Willow’s side of the bed to make out her sleeping face in the darkness.


She kneeled down and cupped Willow’s face gently. It was early, but she knew her girlfriend would want to be wakened.


“Willow, darling…” she said softly.


Willow’s nose flared and she made some sleepy movements.


“I can’t be with you tonight Dream Tara,” she mumbled, turning her face further into the pillow, “Real Tara is coming home.”


“I am real Tara,” Tara replied, gently tickling behind Willow’s ear with one finger.


Willow snored and snorted at the same time.


“Don’t trick me.”


Tara loved Willow’s sleepy talks, but she was bordering on desperate to see those bright green eyes.


“Willow…” she said, rubbing Willow’s arm a bit more insistently.


Willow smacked her lips together a bit.


“Okay, but just a quickie. Have to save my strength.”


Tara could only laugh and shook Willow’s shoulder.


“Willow, wake up.”


Willow resisted, so Tara reached up and plugged her nostrils closed. Willow sat up, gasping and spluttering and hit out at the lamp to turn it on. When her eyes finally landed on Tara, they widened with surprise.


“Tara?” she asked in shock, then looked all around for the time, “Did I oversleep, did I forget to collect you?”


“No, no, it’s super early,” Tara reassured, taking Willow’s hand, “I had to give my keys back in the morning, so I went to the airport and got an earlier flight.”


Willow’s face flew through a mix of emotions.


“So you’re back, you’re really back?”


“I’m here,” Tara confirmed, smiling warmly.


Willow scrambled to pull Tara up into a hug and to kiss her all over her face.


“Never leave me again,” she said, then pulled back an inch, “I-I’m sorry, I shouldn’t–”


“I won’t,” Tara interjected, taking Willow’s face in her hands and kissing her softly, “I promise.”


Willow sagged under the press of Tara’s lips, finally feeling the relief of having her home again. She closed her arms around Tara’s neck and pulled her up and into bed with her.


Tara had to sit back to get rid of her restrictive jacket, but as she moved back down, a hand stopped her.


“Oh, you better keep going,” Willow said with a grin, propping herself up on her elbows, “Unless you need to rest, then we can just cuddle. But still with the removal of clothing, please. I need to feel your skin.”


Tara cupped Willow’s cheeks and leaned down so they were forehead to forehead. She kissed Willow, biting gently on her lower lip.


“We have all of spring break to cuddle. I haven’t been able to touch you in–”


“12 days, 6 hours, 47 minutes and 13 seconds,” Willow replied, her breath beginning to labour, “Give or take…”


“A butt pinch or two,” Tara finished, grinning against Willow’s lips, “Mmm…strip me, sexy.”


“You’re already sexy,” Willow replied, then immediately blushed, “Oh wait, you were calling me sexy. Which I am not living up to right now. What time is it again?”


“Early,” Tara replied with an affectionate laugh, “Do you want to just sleep for a while?”


Willow smiled sheepishly.


“I’m sort of dazed having you back.”


“I felt like that when you showed up in Paris,” Tara replied softly, “Let’s just take each other’s clothes off for now. Press our skin together.”


Willow pushed herself up and pressed her lips into the hollow of Tara’s throat, exposed in the V of her blouse. Her fingers moved to unbutton it, deftly but slowly.


The material was shrugged from Tara’s shoulders and Willow continued kissing around the exposed parts of Tara’s breasts.


Tara lifted Willow’s tank top over her head and Willow divested Tara of her bra at the same time. She placed her palms on Tara’s back and brought them close so their breasts pressed into each other.


They made soft sounds of pleasure in each other’s ears and fell back to lie down with Tara on top. They kissed each other’s necks and made mutual attempts and removing one another’s bottom halves of clothing.


“Take your socks off,” Willow whispered when they were the only thing left between them and complete skin-to-skin contact.


“I’m trying,” Tara replied, lips still soft against Willow’s neck.


She was trying to use one foot to get the sock off the other so she wouldn’t have to remove her hands from where they were delicately perched above Willow’s breasts and sinking into the silky softness of her skin.


Willow watched the kicking motions making the blanket pop up and giggled.


“They look like they’re having a fight.”


Tara looked back over her shoulder.


“And losing.”


Willow cast a sidelong glance at Tara’s face, then suddenly leapt from under her and dived under the blanket and started grabbing at Tara’s feet. She motioned being fought back and eventually triumphantly swiped Tara’s socks from her feet.


“I have beaten the sock monster m’lady,” she said, tossing them behind her, “May I ask for your hand?”


Tara offered her left hand and Willow kissed her ring finger, then cosied back up with her again. She held Tara’s face and eyed her lustily.


“My daze has turned to haze.”


“Really?” Tara asked, pressing herself right into Willow, “Because all I want to do is press my lips against every inch of you.”


She demonstrated on Willow’s throat, who offered it and herself over completely. Tara disappeared under the covers with her lips on their mission, while Willow laid back and revelled in every second of missed connection.


Tara was in no rush, spending long moments kissing each of Willow’s toes and circling her way back up. Willow’s eyes were closed, so Tara kissed her eyelids, then gently kissed her lips. Willow startled slightly and Tara pulled back an inch.


“Were you sleeping?” she asked softly.


Willow made a swipe at her mouth for any wayward drool.


“No, no way.”


“It’s okay, I’m not offended,” Tara replied with a smile, “It’s so early.”


Willow shook her head.


“It’s not that, it’s just like…I can finally really relax. Everything is as it should be.”


Tara moved her forehead over Willow’s and let their breath gently mingle.


“We can just breathe.”


Willow felt Tara’s warm breath on her lips, making her shiver with delight.


“Breathing is…good.”


They rested like that for some minutes, feeling their bodies lock into their familiar puzzle. Their lips started to brush, then began to press harder until Tara’s tongue slipped into Willow’s mouth.


Willow’s hips thrust up as a pang hit her between her legs. She shifted under Tara’s hips and moaned softly into her mouth.


“Mmm. Someone’s waking up…”


Tara slipped her hand down onto Willow’s stomach and danced her fingertips down the rest of the way.


“Maybe she needs some coaxing…”


Willow’s breath grew ragged as Tara's finger dipped between her lips.


“She’s been known to respond to a little sweet talk.”


Tara glanced down Willow’s body and back up to her eyes with a lingering stop at her mouth. She met Willow’s gaze with a lustful crease of her eyes and then let her mouth follow the same trail her hand had.


She nipped her teeth against Willow’s bellybutton and dipped her tongue in there until Willow was squirming and fully ‘woken up’. She moved down another inch and nuzzled the hair of Willow’s mound.


Willow had been known to extend an impatient push to the head in such circumstances, when she thought Tara was relentlessly teasing on purpose, but she was quite happy to be reminded of every nuance of the press of Tara’s face to her most intimate place.


Her hips lifted with anticipation as Tara’s nose bumped against her clit, then pressed right back into the mattress when that first flash of tongue graced her folds.


“Oh sweet baby…”


Tara grinned and extended her tongue further, flicking it into every soft crevice she could find. Her hand slid between Willow’s thighs, up to her stomach and back while her lips joined the sensuous game her tongue was playing.


Willow clutched the bed sheet as Tara’s mouth bathed her clit; knuckles turning white as her wrist jerked with every upstroke of Tara’s tongue. She loved every sensation right down to the wiggle of Tara’s ears on her thighs and continuously cried out for more.


Tara was enraptured with those moments where it was just them; desperately wanting more of each other; where they couldn’t get enough of the erotic hither and thither of their bodies; where there was just no point that was too close to be in contact. She moved a hand under Willow to squeeze a butt cheek, then snuck her fingers around, wetting them and slipping inside with a clench to welcome her.


Willow’s eyes rolled back with pleasure and her hips upped their ante with demanding more from Tara. She was given all she asked for and more and wasn’t long moaning out a lengthy, wracking orgasm.


When she came round, Tara’s lips were above her belly button and slowly making their way up. She looked down, then rested her head back on the pillows to enjoy the journey too.


Tara kissed up to the hollow of Willow’s throat, then peppered lighter ones up onto her face.


“I. Missed. You. Like. Crazy.”


Willow smiled and turned her head into the kisses.


“Oh Tara. This is all I wanted, you beside me again.”


Tara kissed Willow’s nose, then rested her cheek on Willow’s shoulder. She could see light streaming through the curtains and smiled.


“Sunrise,” she said softly, then moved her head again to look at Willow, “Want to go watch at our tree?”


Normally Willow would be hard pressed to leave the cosy situation they were in, but she would have followed Tara to the moon in that moment.


“Yeah, I do.”


Tara kissed Willow tenderly, then pulled back with a gentle release of her lower lip. Willow stayed lying in bed, a little dazed, as Tara got up to get dressed. Willow watched, not even focusing on her nudity, but just how wonderful it was to have her energy back in the room.


“Have you seen my favourite sweatshirt?” Tara asked, looking through the closet, “The blue ones with the stars?”


Willow glanced to the side and produced it from under her pillow. Tara came over and kissed Willow’s cheek, then pulled her up and tapped her butt gently. Willow grinned and threw on some clothes, then took Tara’s hand as they headed outside.


“I think I missed hand holding most,” Willow commented, squeezing Tara’s hand, “Or playing footsie in bed. Or waking up in the middle of the night for recuddlisation. Heck, I just missed everything. Are you really home?”


She returned Tara’s cheek kiss and continued on with a noticeable skip in her step.


“I’m really home,” Tara confirmed, stifling a yawn, “My body sure is confused though.”


“I’ll have to rectify that,” Willow replied with a sultry grin, “Give it a good straightening out.”


She sat down at their tree and pulled Tara into her lap.


“Or maybe a gayening out if the first one would just confuse you more.”


The orange and reds of the dawn sky made Willow’s grin quite visible, and the glow around her red hair made her seem even more impish. Tara kissed Willow’s ear and let her breath hit her girlfriend’s neck.


“Which one involves you nibbling my nipples?”


Willow squirmed, trying not to dislodge Tara.


“Every one of them.”


Tara let her tongue flick gently against Willow’s ear canal.


“Good.”


Willow turned her head in and left a sloppy kiss to Tara’s throat. They settled into each other and watched the sun move up and over the horizon.


It, and they, were so peaceful, that it lulled them both to sleep before it had even finished turning the sky from pink to blue.





Willow was abruptly woken by a knee ramming into her shoulder. She snorted some air and looked around blearily, catching the back of her assailant as he continued on with a mumbled sorry.


“Sorry my ass,” Willow muttered, then realised they were still outside, “Shit.”


She checked her watch and saw that a couple of hours had passed, leading to a much busier campus and plenty of sidelong stares in their direction. Willow did another drool-check and found herself thankfully dry, then started to lift Tara off her shoulder.


“Baby, we fell asleep.”


Tara awoke with a much more graceful inhalation of air and sleepily blinked a few times. Willow found it adorable and helped her stand up.


“Let me brush you off.”


She patted down Tara’s back and butt of dirt, then kissed her lips gently.


“Didn’t mean for that to happen.”


Tara shuffled towards Willow.


“It was probably a good thing.”


“How come?” Willow asked, already feeling slightly mesmerised at Tara’s proximity.


Tara was close enough for their noses to bump.


“Because now I have plenty of energy.”


“Oh,” Willow replied, then less than a second later with an accompanying widening of her eyes, “Oh!”


Tara extended her hand.


“Coming?”


Willow dropped her hand into Tara’s and began to follow her.


“Sure hope so.”


Willow hurried to keep up with Tara, their cold fingers warming up quickly in each other’s grip. When they got back to the room, Willow tugged Tara’s belt free and pulled her towards the bed. She sat them both down and began pressing her lips into Tara’s neck.


Tara closed her eyes and focused on the fluttering sensations in her belly, but couldn’t help but realise they weren’t all from Willow, or altogether pleasant. She resisted until Willow was at her throat, then couldn’t any longer.


“Do you have anything to eat?” she asked, blushing.


“Oh yeah, mmhhm,” Willow replied with a vibrating moan against Tara’s larynx, “I sure do.”


Tara blushed some more and reluctantly moved a few inches.


“I absolutely promise you’ll be dessert, but I really am starving.”


Willow’s eyes looked all around for a moment before she realised Tara was being literal.


“Oh, sure!” she said, bending over to pull out the food crate from under the bed, “Let’s see what’s up in the snack shack.”


Tara’s nose scrunched at the multitude of empty candy bars and Cheetos packets but didn’t say anything, though did note she better clean it out later when she spotted some apples she thought had been there ever since she left.


Under a ruffled twinkie packet, she noticed a flash of familiar red and white and pointed at it.


“Is that some of my microwave oatmeal?”


Willow burrowed for it, then held it up triumphantly. It faltered after a moment though, when she realised it still being there wasn’t the best reflection on her.


“Well, I didn’t want to eat it in case you wanted it, you know?” she said with lightly flushing cheeks and quickly checked the use by date, “I’ll heat it up for you.”


“Thanks,” Tara replied, kicking off her shoes and sitting back up on the bed with her back against the wall.


Willow pottered about for a minute or two, then came back over and presented Tara with her little pot and a spoon.


“With apple sauce stirred in, just how you like it.”


“Thank you so much,” Tara said, gratefully doing another quick stir and taking a bite, “Sorry about the pause.”


“Pauses are okay,” Willow replied, grabbing one of a couple of granola bars she had unearthed in her rummage, “And I missed having breakfast with you.”


Tara smiled and leaned her head in against Willow’s. She ate two big spoons from the tub, then offered Willow some. Willow took the bite happily, even though it wasn’t her favourite food, and offered a piece of her granola bar.


They exchanged parts of the rest of their food until both of their stomachs were satisfied enough to resume a better use of their mouths.


Willow placed her palm on Tara’s cheek and tilted her head. Their mouths opened and tongues began to play, gentle and reacquainting at first, but slowly building up heat.


Tara’s pants found their way to the floor by way of Willow’s hands, which greedily palmed Tara’s thigh as it was exposed to her. She felt Tara break the kiss, then watched her hold up a finger to indicate she’d be one minute, then went off to the bathroom.


While she was gone, Willow undressed down to her panties and slipped under the covers.


Tara rinsed her mouth after brushing her teeth, quickly went to the bathroom and made her way back into the room. She smiled when she saw Willow and lifted her sweatshirt over her head and panties down her legs so she was nude.


She started to climb back into bed, but Willow held up a hand to stop her. Tara glanced down at herself, her bangs falling into her eyes in the process, then back up to Willow.


“What is it?”


Willow just smiled softly.


“Nothing. I just want to look at you.”


Tara returned the affectionate look and waited five seconds before lifting the covers and joining Willow beneath.


“Ooh, you left me something to unwrap,” she said, pressing a kiss above Willow’s belly button and moving down.


Willow watched Tara’s lips sink into her skin and began to pant when she took the panties between her teeth. She lifted her hips to aid their removal and let her head fall back to the pillow as Tara’s mouth moved up her thighs.


Her legs fell open when Tara’s kisses found their way to the crease between her thigh and hip and she felt arousal gush out of her. Her body strained under the first touch of Tara’s tongue, feeling it’s warmth fill her with pleasure.


Tara teased and tantalised Willow, reminding her of every trick she had. Her hands groped Willow’s breasts and moved back down to dip inside her; changing it up frequently to keep her on her toes.


Willow would have been laughing if she wasn’t so busy moaning; Tara was certainly reminding her she was worth waiting for, even though she didn’t need the reminding. She panted between gruff sounds, just drawing in enough breath to sustain her through the next sequence of ecstasy.


Finally, she felt it all start to bubble over and could only hang on for seconds before it broke and she came, groaning into the pillow.


Tara had her palm flat on Willow’s belly to feel the jumping muscles and continued to gently massage there as she moved back up. She kissed Willow’s jaw until her head turned upwards again, then cupped her cheek and kissed her lips.


Willow ran her hands along Tara’s back, following her spine. They curved over her buttocks and back up and she broke the kiss to nuzzle Tara’s neck.


“You’re giving me a disproportionate amount of orgasms…”


“It’s not a scorecard,” Tara whispered, elongating her neck for Willow’s touch.


Willow hooked her knees over Tara’s hips.


“Let me put it another way,” she said as she rolled them over, “My turn.”


She smoothed her hands out down Tara’s side, then moved down to begin Tara’s favourite nipple nibbling.


Tara gently arched her back and sighed with satisfaction. Her nipples were hard and the scrape of Willow’s teeth sent pulses of pleasure through to her groin. She grinded her hips a little bit and Willow got the hint, sliding her thigh in for friction.


She could feel Tara’s arousal leaving its mark on her and abandoned Tara’s chest for wetter pastures when the temptation got too much. Tara had no objection and spread her legs invitingly before Willow had even gotten to her bellybutton.


Willow settled between Tara’s legs and watched her glisten. She laid the pad of her index finger over Tara’s clit and watched its little jump. Her stomach flopped in the same manner and she was suddenly very eager to continue.


She stretched her mouth out and dragged her lips top to bottom to meet in the middle as she slipped her tongue between Tara’s folds. Her neck rolled in time with Tara’s hips as they popped up, begging for more.


Her head dipped in place as she learned Tara’s taste again, then she focused in on her clit, kissing and sucking it.


Tara put a hand on Willow’s bobbing head, gently twining to give the slightest pull on her hair. She loved the resistance as Willow fought to stay as buried as possible; loved feeling like Willow couldn’t get enough of her.


Her mouth was perpetually humming a moan and she was tingling everywhere. It was like a constant wash of mini-orgasms, but she kept demanding more, vocally and bodily.


Willow gave all she could, enjoying it every bit as much as Tara. She loved the slide of Tara’s thighs on her ears and the moans that floated through between muffles.


Her own toes curled when she felt Tara coming in her mouth and she hung onto her girlfriend’s clamping thighs until she had relaxed again. She nuzzled up against Tara’s mound and bellybutton, wiping her mouth in the process, then joined Tara again up top.


Tara was smiling happily and kissed Willow’s cheek as she settled, then stretched out with a content sigh.


“I missed a big bed.”


“I missed big boobs,” Willow replied, splaying her hand out over one of Tara’s breasts and kissing the nipple caught between two fingers.


Tara laughed and stretched out, then flopped back down and began to rub Willow’s arm.


“I love you.”


Willow pressed a kiss to either corner of Tara’s mouth, then squarely on her lips.


“I love you, too.”


They shared a loving look, then started to kiss softly again. Willow was in the process of rolling on top of Tara, when there was a knock at the door. She glanced at it momentarily, then resumed kissing Tara with a dismissive wave.


She pushed her tongue into Tara’s mouth and was just joining her tip to Tara’s when the pounding came again, louder, followed by Becky’s voice.


“Willow, come on! As if the one day you oversleep is the day you get to see Tara again!”


Willow broke the kiss looked over at the door, holding the sheet to her chest.


“Shit. They were giving me a ride to the airport.”


“I’ll go,” Tara said, smoothing out her hair while she slipped out of the bed, “Can I wear your robe?”


Willow nodded, so Tara made her way over to the door, covering herself in the process and poked her head around. She greeted Becky with a warm smile.


“Hi. I’m home. Got an early flight.”


Becky shook her head in surprise, then smiled back.


“Oh, great,” she said, then came in for a hug and squeezed both of Tara’s arms, “Hey, how are you? How was Paris?”


Tara held the top of robe closed so she didn’t pop out and tried not to blush.


“Oh, amazing. Such a beautiful city and so much culture,” she answered, leaning against the doorframe so there was no space between it and the door, “How about you? Willow said you and Jack are still going strong.”


Becky got a dreamy look on her face.


“Yeah, he’s amazing. We’re heading down to Florida for spring break. You know what they say, vacation makes you or breaks you, so…But we survived a weekend up state, so I think we’re good. Very good…” she trailed off with a smile, then snapped back to attention, “I’m really excited to hear all about Paris though. Is it as wonderful as everyone makes out?”


Tara nodded.


“Absolutely. Oh, and I got you a beret.”


“Is it red?” Becky asked, swishing her hair from side to side, “Red is totally my colour this season.”


“It is, actually,” Tara replied with a smile, “I hope–”


Willow’s head suddenly popped out under Tara’s with the rest of her naked body hidden behind the door.


“Tara’s being polite. We’re busy.”


“Oh,” Becky replied, then got a knowing grin on her face, “Ohhh. I bet. Hey, I’ll bring you back an alligator tooth.”


Willow’s face scrunched.


“Please don’t. Have fun. Bye.”


“Bye!” Becky shouted through as Willow slammed the door.


“Bye Beck–” Tara started, but the door was shut before she finished, “Willow, that was rude.”


Willow tugged on Tara’s hand.


“So was leaving me alone in bed, so they cancel each other out and we can get back to snuggling now, alright?”


Tara could only smile, then remembered something as they passed her luggage


“Hey, I got you a present too, but I don’t think you’ll get mad at me about it.”


Willow scooted back onto the bed and laid down with her arms folded under her head.


“I told you not to…” she began but her mouth shut and eyes lit up when she saw Tara produce a jumbo jar of Nutella, “Definitely, totally, completely not mad at you.”


Tara came over to hand it to her, passing the desk on the way and noticing a letter addressed to her.


“Oh yeah, a letter came for you,” Willow said absently, digging out a spoon to eat with.


Tara gave Willow a look and shook her head, then perched on the end of the bed and opened the letter. As she unfolded it, her eyes caught the logo in the corner.


“Willow, this is from the DCF.”


“The who?” Willow asked, eating directly from the jar.


“The Department of Children and Families. The state agency you sent my application to,” Tara explained as her eyes desperately scanned the body of the letter, “I got it, I got the spot!”


“Awesome!” Willow cheered, mouth smeared with chocolate already, “Looks like we both got everything we wanted today.”


Tara was beaming and moved back up beside Willow, clutching her letter like a kid on Christmas morning with her new toy.


“Is the Nutella that good?”


Willow leaned over and left a sticky but sweet kiss on Tara’s cheek.


“Yes. But I meant you.”

I just caught up with your wonderful story after a vacation on the beautiful canary island Teneriffa and loads of work in our law firm afterwards.

Let me finally thank you for the condolences you offered after my aunts death. I'm mostly ok, but that I actually cried reading about Miss Fishy's funeral partially comes from the memories, I guess - plus I really imagined a distraught Willow and wanted to hug her.
I'm glad for both of them that Tara is finally home. And yay for her being already accepted by the DCF!

I'm curious how much of the self confidence Tara found in Paris she brought back home. And I'm looking forward to read much more about their "reconnection"...

I really LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your story and I'll try to give more regular feedback, I promise!

Hi Laragh :bigwave

I've written so many sex scenes, I'm running out of things to set them off!

You're right about that...not that I'm complaining mind :p

“I’m here, I’m not queer and I brought you beer!”

Lolling and loving Becky's intro in this chapter.

And now Tara's back and here we go, buckets at the ready Laragh :wink

The material was shrugged from Tara’s shoulders and Willow continued kissing around the exposed parts of Tara’s breasts.

Yummy, Tara's breasts :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool

She was trying to use one foot to get the sock off the other so she wouldn’t have to remove her hands from where they were delicately perched above Willow’s breasts.

Scrummy, Willow breasts :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool

And before you say it, yeah I'm incorrigible but with these two divine goddesses can you blame me????

Tara slipped her hand down onto Willow’s stomach.

Willow's 'sexy' stomach *swoon*

“I told you not to…” she began but her mouth shut and eyes lit up when she saw Tara produce a jumbo jar of Nutella, “Definitely, totally, completely not mad at you.”
“Oh yeah, a letter came for you,” Willow said absently, digging out a spoon to eat with.


Typical of Willow, something that we spread on bread she chows down on with a spoon. But it's one of the reasons we love her right, her insatiable appetite.

“The Department of Children and Families. The state agency you sent my application to,... I got it, I got the spot!”

Huzzah for Tara, she's finally got what she wanted, (apart from getting back to Willow) an opportunity to work with social services offices that deal with abandoned and abused children.

Another fun chapter there Laragh though you did trip me up by not taking the story in directions I expected. For example when Tara returns home unexpectedly I thought it was the same night as Becky was staying over thus allowing for some humor or when Willow and Tara are making love the first time upon Tara's return I thought Willow would wake and it had just been a dream.

Still as I say it was a fun episode with much :drool to be had and a happy surprise for Tara on her return home, I would like to have seen a little more Willow and Becky but I guess she's busy with Jack for now.

Til next time toodles :)

Not too rude, anyway.

The best part of leaving!

I've never been but I know plenty of people who have! (all I remember is them talking about cheap booze - hey, they're Irish!) Hope you had a nice time :)

Aww, I'm sorry. I'm sure Willow would have appreciated and returned the hug wholeheartedly.

Me too. I hated past me for committing them to that damn separation!

Only an internship...but it's not a secret that she will be fully accepted soon!

Quote:

Well, I feel like we know from where we started Hacker that she's a bright and fairly confident person. This trip allowed me to make that biggest transition for her. Her confidence will definitely feature though.

Ha...well, there's some more of the clothes on variety...

It's okay, vacation is good and work...well it's great to have a job! (plus I think there's only six chapters left in this one!!)

Thanks for your feedback :)

The days didn't allow me to do that unfortunately. I didn't think it was plausible that Willow would be anything but a nervous wreck the night before Tara came home (and not up for friends night), and Becky would be getting ready for her trip to Florida. So I decided to play the humour with Becky knocking and the waking up stuff instead. It was just a creative divergence. Maybe I overthought it but if I’d written it like you said I probably would have had someone complain too! Oh well, can’t please everyone.

That would have been cruel.

TITLE: College Confidential

WRITER: Laragh

CHAPTER RATING: PG-13

DISCLAIMER: Willow, Tara and any other characters from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise belong to Joss Whedon, FOX, ME and a whole host of other entities, none of which are me.

SUMMARY: The first part of the prequel to Hacker Confidential and Family Confidential - the college years!

SPOILERS: Perhaps minor references to the show or stealage of dialogue, but nothing that would spoil the series.

FEEDBACK: Yes please

Chapter 103

********

Willow glanced over at Tara, lying on the bed next to her, chest heaving softly in her slumber.


She closed her laptop, which was sitting on her knees and gently shook Tara’s shoulder.


“Baby, wake up.”


Tara mumbled nonsense and Willow shook a bit harder.


“Come on, you won’t beat that jetlag if you keep taking naps.”


Tara rolled over onto her back and Willow couldn’t help notice her breasts bouncing into view.


“Maybe I’ll just live on Parisian time forever,” Tara said with a sigh, eyes still closed and breath coming in evenly.


“Then we’ll never be able to have sleepy morning sex because I’ll be passed out or you’ll be wide awake,” Willow countered.


“You can take care of yourself,” Tara suggested lethargically.


Willow shuddered; she’d gotten more than her fill of ‘herself’ during their separation. What was once the idea of a fun afternoon time-killer when Tara wasn’t around seemed like an arduous task to think about now.


“I think I would rather cut off my hand than use it to ‘take care of myself’ again,” she said, then found Tara’s foot under the blanket with her own and tried to rouse her with some footsie, “Look, I need a girlfriend on Bostonian time. Meals will get all eschewed, you’ll be creeping around like a night creature – people will call me Willow the Vampire Boinker. It’ll be a whole thing.”


Tara’s lips quirked up on one side and Willow poked the slope repeatedly.


“Wake up, wake up,” she said, tickling Tara’s cheek gently, “C’mon, I’ll take you on that valenversary date I owe you.”


Tara giggled from the tickling and shook her head back and forth to stop it.


“Okay, okay. Up.”


She pushed herself up into a sitting position and rubbed her eyes while yawning.


“Shower…”


“Cutest cave girl ever,” Willow commented, running a hand down the back of Tara’s spine, “I wouldn’t mind you dragging me around by my hair…quite like the odd hair-pull in the right circumstances.”


Tara smiled sleepily and leaned over to plant a messy kiss on Willow’s lips, before going off to shower. She woke up under the spray and slapped her cheeks a few times to really bring it home, before moving on to wash her hair and body.


When she returned back out in her towel, Willow was on her computer again, but changed into jeans and a t-shirt. Tara looked out the window to check the weather, and picked out one of her summery dresses when she saw the sun was out.


Willow watched Tara get changed into her pretty dress, glancing away from where she had been checking her bank balance on screen. She swallowed some moisture and closed her laptop.


“Um…baby?”


“Mmhm?” Tara asked, settling a belt around her waist as a bit of a throwback to some of the fashion tips she’d learned in Paris.


Willow wiped her sweaty palms on her jeans.


“It’s just, um…well, since I came to Paris and everything…I’m not exactly…all flush with the cash anymore.”


Tara looked over her shoulder and offered a smile.


“Okay.”


Willow wasn’t quite sure Tara understood what she was saying.


“Can’t really afford a super fancy restaurant…”


“Let’s just walk around the city for the afternoon,” Tara suggested, “It’s a nice day and I’d better get the Bostonian feel back if you don’t want to be a vampire boinker.”


She grinned at Willow, but it was returned with an embarrassed grimace.


“I’m sorry.”


Tara came over and sat next to Willow.


“Willow, I don’t care about money. I’m sorry you spent so much coming to see me–”


“I’m not,” Willow interrupted.


Tara smiled and moved her hand up to touch Willow’s cheek.


“Then it’s all okay. Spend your time, not your money. It’s so much more valuable. The imperative part of a date with Willow is the 'Willow'.”


Willow was used to spoiling Tara and hated not being able to, but decided it was worth the weekend they got to spend together, for herself and for their relationship. Still, not having access to money was a very foreign concept to her and she dreaded the thought of when it would run out. That was a thought for another day, though, as Tara looked too pretty to worry about anything else.


“I love that dress on you.”


“And you know I love these jeans on you,” Tara replied, reaching a hand around to cup Willow’s rear, “I’ll be trailing behind you all day.”


Willow blushed and giggled while taking a look at Tara’s cleavage.


“And I’ll be eyeing the ground…or at least that’s what I’ll be trying to make it seem like!”


Tara grinned and left a soft kiss on Willow’s lips.


“So, what do you think? Get the train downtown and stroll home, catch the T if we get tried? Do some window shopping, grab a smoothie. Explore the neighbourhoods. I loved doing that in Paris. I must have spent hours and hours getting lost - on purpose.”


“That sounds lovely,” Willow agreed, leaning her head down on Tara’s shoulder, “It really does.”


She sighed and Tara tenderly cupped the side of her head. Tara understood Willow was used to having money, but she was used to having nothing, so it made little difference to her. She didn’t want to embarrass her girlfriend, so she said nothing, but lowered her arm to squeeze Willow into an embrace.


“I would spend every penny I had for five minutes with you.”


Willow hugged Tara’s waist.


“You get me for free,” she said, then grinned, “But I do have a two Oreo retainer.”


“Deal,” Tara agreed with a smile and nuzzled into the top of Willow’s head, “You smell good.”


“So do you,” Willow replied, inhaling from Tara’s neck, “We better go on this date before we speed right ahead to the end…”


“And send me to sleep…again,” Tara said with a blushing smile.


Willow kissed Tara’s neck, then forced herself away.


“Okay, let’s do this.”


Tara put some comfortable boots on and found her purse, and they headed outside hand-in-hand. It was their first real venture outside since Tara got back and Willow had forgotten how wonderful it was to feel Tara’s hand in hers while out and about with no worries of their time being cut short.


“Isn’t it such a nice spring day?” Tara said, turning her head towards the sun, “I love this weather.”


Willow loved Tara’s enjoyment of the weather more than the weather itself, but it was nice to feel the warmth on them as they strolled.


“Me too.”


“Campus looks good,” Tara said, taking a good look around, “Grass has been cut. Beer bottles cleaned up.”


“The underwear on the flagpole has been replaced with an actual flag,” Willow replied with a grin, “It’s practically the Taj Mahal.”


“I’m being positive, goofball,” Tara replied, putting her arm around Willow’s shoulders, “The real miracle will be if they’ve cleaned up the T…”


“Don’t count on it,” Willow said but was cheery to have Tara clung to her again.


The T journey was as pleasant as it could be for public transport, and they got seats together which was a big bonus. They got off at the downtown stop and turned down the first side-street, working in a zig-zag pattern around the neighbourhood from there.


As they walked, they passed an outside clearing with book cases against the walls and more shelves in the space between, all stocked with books.


“Wow, cool!” Willow said, walking into the area to browse, “Take a look at these. I love old books. They must get damaged easily, though. Wonder what happens when it rains?”


She went around admiring the books, and her eye lit up when she noticed a whole store attached. She stepped in and paused, smiling. That used book smell hung in the air and she felt like she’d stepped into a piece of history.


“It smells like Mrs. Michelson’s place,” she said, then added on absently to Tara, “Bookstore I hung out at sometimes when I was a kid…”


Tara liked a nice book store to browse in too, and enjoyed looking through some old maps and postcards on display. The store was timeworn but charming and was filled with thousands of books to admire, stretching over three floors.


Tara had lost Willow but figured they’d run into each other again. She picked out some old 8x10 prints of Boston in the 20’s that she thought would look nice framed on a wall, then finally found Willow on the third floor of rare books.


“Find something?” she asked as she approached Willow, who was looking at a kid’s book on a shelf, protected in a container.


“I loved this book as a kid,” Willow said, touching the space above the monkey’s face on the cover through the glass, “I learned how to read so I could read it even when Dad wasn’t around.”


Tara looked at the title but it wasn’t familiar.


“I haven’t heard of it.”


“It wasn’t super popular, I don’t think,” Willow replied softly, “But it ended up on my shelf. I loved that one ‘Owl Babies’ as well, but it came into my life later, funnily enough. Was too old for bedtime stories but I still carried it around with me.”


The book displayed was a first edition signed by the author and carried a corresponding price tag, but it wasn't astronomical seeing as it wasn't hugely sought after. Willow would have bought it, but she was only spending money on coffee and school supplies, and really couldn't have paid for it, even if she forewent those 'luxuries'. Still, it was nice to see the face of her monkey friend again and she turned back to Tara with a smile on her face from the encounter.


“So. What did you get?”


Tara showed Willow the prints, who nodded admiringly.


“Those are neat. I always thought those old timey cars were cool.”


“I think I can find nice frames,” Tara replied, holding the prints to her chest, “They have some funny postcards you’d like.”


“Show me, show me,” Willow replied, slipping her hand into Tara’s.


Tara brought them back downstairs and showed Willow the postcards she’d missed the first time around. She came across one that Tara hadn’t seen in her previous look-through, of the swan boats and 'their' bench in the distance.


Tara bought it with her prints and Willow held it happily with both hands.


“Thank you so much. I won't spill on it, I promise,” she said as they were walking out, then suddenly stopped and ran back inside.


Tara waited patiently for the couple of minutes until Willow returned with a sheepish smile.


“They check the forecast and bring them in.”


“Sorry?” Tara asked, confused.


“The bookshelves,” Willow replied, nodding towards outside clearing as they passed, “They just keep an eye on things and bring them in if it looks like rain. Pretty boring answer, but I had to know.”


“Of course you did,” Tara replied with a grin, “Want to get some smoothies to stroll with?”


“Yes, I would love one,” Willow nodded, lifting herself up on her tiptoes in anticipation, “Want to walk through the park?”


“That sounds nice,” Tara agreed, giving her swinging bag of prints to Willow to hold, “I’ll go to that coffee shop on the corner and meet you at the entrance.”


“Oh, okay, thanks,” Willow said as Tara walked past with a kiss to her cheek, “I’ll pay you back when we get home.”


“Don’t worry,” Tara called back, smiling sweetly.


Willow was caught between melting under that smile and wallowing in the self-pity of being broke for the first time ever. Considering they were having a celebration, her heart was able to rule her mind and she just waited eagerly for Tara to meet her.


She spotted Tara after about five minutes, and was blown away again by just how hot her girlfriend could look; with her dress swishing at her knees and sunglasses framing her face gracefully.


She was practically walking in slow-motion in Willow’s eyes, with every swing of her hips and stretch of her long legs boring into her mind.


“What’s cookin’, good lookin’?” Tara asked with a grin as she arrived in front of Willow, “You’re staring.”


Willow blushed and took her offered cup.


“I’m not the only one.”


Tara cast a cursory glance around and noticed a few nods in her direction from some male gazes. She wrapped her arm around Willow’s waist again, and Willow felt like the coolest kid in school.


She took a long, cool glug of her mango smoothie and nearly jumped when Tara’s hand slid into her back pocket. She cleared her throat and hoped her cheeks weren’t too red. She absolutely loved the confidence Tara had gained and was very proud to be shown off the way she’d always showed off Tara. She was more than happy to be Tara’s arm candy.


“Do you want to chill out for a bit?” Tara asked as they walked on the path, “The sun is hitting that tree so nicely, it’s calling out for a bit of PG cuddling.”


“You never have to convince me,” Willow replied, then discreetly bumped Tara’s hip, “‘PG’ will have to suffice…until later.”


Tara sat down with her back to the tree and pulled Willow’s legs over her lap to massage her calves.


“That a promise?”


“You bet,” Willow replied with a seductive glint in her eye.


She knew Tara saw it by the look she was receiving in return, and decided ‘PG’ could be just as fun as ‘NC-17’ sometimes. She began to curl the ends of Tara’s hair between her fingers, pulling it gently as she released.


The pulling on her scalp was familiar to Tara and she knew Willow knew exactly what she was doing. She enjoyed the playful back and forth as they tested the bounds of secret seduction.


The sun passed them by after about twenty minutes, and they had finished their drinks so they got up to throw the empty cups out and continued on their walk. They started to wander to more residential areas and Tara especially kept noticing and pointing out architecture and street design.


“I love these old brick buildings,” she said placing a hand against a wall as they passed it, “This is a nice area. Kind of bustling with markets and people but still quiet and charming.”


“Uh huh, real pretty,” Willow nodded.


Tara noticed she was walking funny and stopped them.


“What’s wrong, honey?”


Willow tried to stop wiggling.


“That smoothie kinda went straight through me.”


“Okay,” Tara replied with a soft smile, “Look, there’s a bar at the end of the street, across the road.”


Willow looked where Tara was pointing and hurried off in that direction. Tara followed, a little bit behind, and waited outside. The bar’s name was Marshalls and a quick peer in the window told her it was a neighbourhood style bar and not frequented by students or hip youths.


She decided to check out the inside and smiled when she walked in, feeling a friendly energy. There were a mix of people, but most were in their twenties and thirties and were sitting around enjoying an evening drink. There was a small stage, and signs for bands, karaoke and open mic nights, but it was empty right then.


Most of the tables were worn, but comfortable booths and there was some soft jazz playing over the sound system, just melodiously complimenting the buzz of conversation. There was a pool table, where a couple of guys were playing already.


Tara loved the vibe; it was very different to her chic and trendy experiences in Paris, but it was warm and relaxing and much more her cup of tea.


Willow came out from the bathroom and wandered over to Tara.


“Did you have to go too?”


Tara shook her head.


“No. But I like the look of this place. Do you want stay for a drink?”


Willow shrugged.


“Oh, okay. Yeah, sure.”


She slid into the nearest booth, and Tara stayed standing.


“What would you like?”


“Umm…” Willow replied, unsure, “What are you having?”


“A glass of wine,” Tara answered.


“Wine?” Willow asked, her nose scrunching up.


Tara nodded.


“I learned to enjoy the occasional glass in Paris.”


“Ah, of course,” Willow replied, then hemmed and hawed for a few moments, “Well, I haven’t been drinking since I told you I was stopping…didn't break that promise.”


Tara waited for her to continue, but she didn’t.


“So would you prefer a soda?” Tara prompted.


“I dunno,” Willow replied, playing with her hands, “What do you think?”


Tara perched on the edge of the seat and rested her head on her upturned palm.


“You know what you’d like to drink better than me.”


Willow swallowed audibly.


“I mean what do you think about me trying alcohol again?”


Tara straightened up.


“It’s up to you, hun.”


“Do you trust me?” Willow asked, nervously biting the skin around her thumb.


Tara looked her squarely in the eye.


“I always did.”


Willow smiled softly.


“Maybe I’ll try a beer?” she asked, then added more definitively, “Yes. Yes, I will try a beer.”


Tara nodded and went off to the bar, returning with a glass of red wine for herself and a bottle of beer for Willow with the cap already popped off. Willow had a sneaky glance around the room to see if there was a special way to hold it and settled with one hand around the body and her fingers splayed just slightly.


Tara held her glass under her nose and swished the liquid, then took a long, slow sip. Willow watched her skilful consumption with admiration, but couldn’t help think she would have been more at home in some cool place like she was brought to before.


“So this place is different to where you took me in Paris.”


Tara settled her arms, crossed, on the table and smiled over.


“That’s why I like it.”


Willow quirked an eyebrow.


“You seemed to be having a good time there…”


“I did, but it was exhausting,” Tara explained, happier than even the height of her time in Paris, just by being there with Willow, “Having to be on trend all the time, wear the right clothes, say the right things. And you get just as much snooty looks as you do alluring ones. The night we went wasn’t my whole experience.”


“I sure hope not, especially not the cloakroom part!” Willow replied with wide eyes.


Tara laughed and took another sip.


“Definitely not.”


Willow smiled shyly and played with how to rest her hands at the table. It was little different from a restaurant table, but she felt she should be acting more sophisticated being in a bar, of age, and enjoying a drink.


It was different to the devious drinking escapades she’d joined Becky on and the soda-laden visits to see bands with Tara. It made her an adult of sorts and she was pleased to find it didn’t scare her like that word had been known to in the past.


“Can I try your wine?” she asked before she’d tasted her beer at all.


“Sure,” Tara replied, handing her glass over, “Want me to show you how to taste it properly?”


“Uh huh,” Willow replied, taking the glass by the stem as that was the way Tara was holding it.


“Okay, just give it a little swirl,” Tara instructed, “Then lift it under your nose and smell it. Just a soft inhale.”


Willow did just that, surprising herself by not feeling silly.


“And then sip,” Tara continued, “Just a little one. Let it swirl around your mouth a bit before swallowing.”


Willow swallowed the liquid and delicately licked her lips.


“It’s not as totally awful as I remember,” she said, surprised, “Huh.”


She smiled and handed it back, pleased with herself.


“This is nice. I’m glad I had to pee.”


She kicked herself internally for losing her suave so quickly, but Tara didn’t seem to mind and just laughed.


“Well, happy belated valenversary, my love.”


She held up her glass and Willow clinked it with her bottle.


“Damn. Kinda forgot when I was out there. Two years.”


“Two wonderful years,” Tara amended with a sweet smile.


Willow reached across and took Tara’s hand.


“I love you,” she said, lifting Tara’s knuckles to her mouth to kiss, “I have loved you for every second I’ve known you.”


Tara turned Willow’s hand in hers and circled her palm.


“I love you too.”


Willow returned the gesture, gently tickling Tara’s palm. Halfway through their drinks, she jumped up to grab a bowl of pretzels and came back with it and a sheet in her hand.


“Hey, check it out. They’re doing a quiz night.”


“Oh yeah?” Tara asked, peering over to read.


“Will I sign us up?” Willow asked, retrieving a pen from her purse.


“Sure, sounds fun,” Tara agreed.


Willow filled in some details on the sheet.


“What should our team name be?” she asked, then grinned, “The Quiz Whizzes?”


Tara laughed.


“I like that. You’re definitely a whiz.”


“If ever a whiz there was,” Willow replied, happily scrawling it down.


She tore the strip off and brought it back to the bar. She returned with an answer sheet and newly sharpened pencil and bounced excitedly into her seat.


“It’s like a fun pop quiz without having to worry about a grade!”


“One way to look at it,” Tara replied, her chin perched on her fists, “I’m guessing you’re nominating yourself as chief scriber?”


“Unless you wanted to…” Willow offered graciously, though Tara could see her eye twitching at the thought of not being in control of the answers.


“You can do it.”


Willow heaved a breath of relief, then started to nearly write their team name at the top of the page, along with the date, then produced a green highlighter from her purse and began to highlight the question numbers scrolling down the edge of the page.


Tara didn’t even bat an eye at the produced highlighter; she’d often seen various supplies jostling about in there and knew better than to question Willow about her different coloured pens.


They were a few sips into their second drink and had ordered some wings and mozzarella sticks to share when one of the bartenders walked over to the small stage and lit up a projector behind him.


The quiz started and Willow was hyper-focused, even leaving the food aside to concentrate until there was a brief break for people to refill drinks and go to the bathroom.


Willow submitted the first answer sheet as the bartender came around with a basket to collect them and finally launched in to the wings hungrily.


“You’re blowing my mind with your internal calculator,” Tara said, eyeing Willow beguilingly, “You’re definitely one of those sexy primes they were talking about.”


Willow noticed the look and blushed.


“Yeah, well I would have never guessed who the French author who could work only in a darkened room was without you,” she replied as she used a wet nap on her fingers, “These sports questions are killing us. You knew one though.”


Tara shook her head.


“Willow, how did you live in this city and not know the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004?”


“I was busy adjusting to college life!” Willow defended, “And I was coming out. I had stuff going on, and I probably had a lot of homework.”


Tara threw her eyes upwards good-naturedly.


“Only you.”


Willow smiled shyly and nudged Tara’s foot under the table. They were getting into a good game of footsie when the quiz started up again and Willow was back in answering mode.


Tara didn’t mind, she was enjoying the atmosphere and chipping in when she could as well as slowly savouring her wine. Neither of them wanted more than two drinks, so they were making their seconds last and it and it was delightfully mellow.


When they finished up the quiz, there was a tense ten minutes where Willow necked more of her beer than she had during the whole length of the quiz, until the team rankings were put up on the projector.


Willow slumped when she saw them come in second, three points off the group coming in first. It had been fun, but losing wasn’t. She wanted to win.


Tara saw it and reached over to rub her shoulder.


“Oh, Will, it’s okay. It was just some fun. I had a blast.”


Willow looked away and moved off.


“I’m gonna go splash my face.”


Tara squeezed Willow’s hand as she passed and called for the check. Willow returned in minutes, much happier than she was leaving.


“Tara, it’s not a quiz night, it’s a quiz league! It’s every week for six weeks!” she said, eyes lit up excitedly, “Do you know what that means?”


“That I get to spent some more wonderful afternoons like this with you?” Tara asked sweetly.


“That we can still win!” Willow replied, then added on sheepishly, “Oh, and that too.”


She slid back into the booth and showed Tara the full flyer she’d pulled off the wall.


“Look, the grand prize is $1500.”


“And more importantly, we get to have more dates here,” Tara said, one eyebrow lifting the barest hint, “Spend lots of time together.”


“Of course,” Willow replied immediately, “That being the best prize.”


Tara smiled.


“Good girl.”


Willow chuckled.


“I have learned a thing or two in the two years.”


“And taught me a thing or two, as well,” Tara replied courteously, then laughed again, “Like who the fastest shorthand writer in the world is. Who knows that?”


“I am a Guinness Book of World Records connoisseur,” Willow replied smugly, “I can lay all kinds of knowledge on you.”


Tara eyed Willow over her wine glass, glancing her up and down.


“You’re certainly good at laying me.”


Willow looked all around, but no one was paying them any attention.


“You’ll land me in the book for biggest blush.”


“Cutest blush,” Tara countered, her eyes just slightly hazy with tipsy lust, “My sexy prime.”


Willow reached over to take one of Tara’s hands.


“I want to spend the next two to the power of six years with you. Two to the power of seven, if medical advances allow.”


Tara returned the knuckle kiss from earlier.


“How about we wrap it up in one easy forever.”


Willow smiled and offered the tail end of her beer in a last toast.


“To forever?”


Tara did the same with the last of her wine.


“To forever.”

Hi Laragh :bigwave

Before I start with any comments I just wanted to say thank you for writing this story. You have given me people that I would love to interact with and places that I would love to visit. So yeah, thanks for writing this Laragh. It's a cool story by a cool person.

I understand fully where you're coming from with the story and the incidents that make it up. As a writer myself I realise that you have to take the story, and characters, in the direction that you, the author, want them to go in regardless of what others may want or expect from the story. And after all, if they don'y like this particular fic there's plenty other WIllow/Tara stories on the KB and various other parts of the intranet.

Tara rolled over onto her back and Willow couldn’t help notice her breasts bouncing into view.

Oh my dear frilly lord, Tara breasts already. Sorry Laragh, I can't hold it back :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool

Willow says she wants Tara on Bostonian time but I thought they were in college at New York, or am I confusing it with 'Takin' a bit outta the apple'. Another of your stories I've enjoyed.

Lolling at Willow the Vampire Boinker :)

Willow refers to Tara as thecutest cave girl ever. But of course she's cute, why else would she be adored by everybody :)

It was good seeing Tara assure Willow that she wasn't loved because she was monied but just because she was Willow.

WOOHOO on bookshop visiting :) I wonder if Tara will buy the book as a treat for Willow.

I loved Willow going back to the bookshop just to check on if they take the books in or not. How wonderfully adorkable is that :)

Willow was caught between melting under that smile and wallowing in the self-pity of being broke for the first time ever.

Don't worry about it Willow, you'll get used to it in future stories.

Tara cast a cursory glance around and noticed a few nods in her direction from some male gazes. She wrapped her arm around Willow’s waist again, and Willow felt like the coolest kid in school.

I know just how Willow felt after having had Amber's arm around my waist :)

Lolling at Willow looking around the bar to see if there was a special way to hold the bottle of beer.

I don't believe there's any such thing as a true adult. There are people who just learn to accept a bit more responsibility in life but within beats the heart of a five year old child and Willow is one such person, not just in this story but in others too.

“Willow, how did you live in this city and not know the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004?”

To me red socks are items of clothing worn between the feet and shoes and trainers.

A grand prize of $1500, I hope Willow wins. Maybe Becky and Jack can join them when they return from Spring break.

Another fun little chapter there Laragh as the girls celebrate their valenversary and this time with less :drool scenes. I look forward to seeing Willow use her big brain in further expeditions to the quiz at Marshalls amongst other adventures together.

Till next time toodles :)

Hi Laragh, I've got to admit you gave me a little panic attack with this sentence in your reply to my last comment:

Quote:
plus I think there's only six chapters left in this one!!


I really, really hope that after the end of "College Confidential" you'll follow immediately with "First own appartment Confidential" - although I'm sure you'll choose a much better title.

I really liked their Valenversary date. Yay for Tara being self confident enough for showing Willow off as her girl.
It's nice that they discovered the bookstore and "Marshalls", I'm sure they'll revisit both places often in the future. Marshalls is the bar they hang out with the others in Hacker, isn't it?
So cute that Willow just had to go back in the bookstore to ask what they do with the books outside... I have a hunch that Tara will buy the "monkey book" for Willow's birthday...I hope we will learn the title and the story then.
I loved the little reminder of Mrs. Michelson and "Owl Babies".

I'm holding my thumbs that Willow and Tara will win the Quiz price but I fear they won't because we know about their tight finances until the start of Hacker. I'm glad that Willow confided in Tara that she couldn't afford to buy them dinner. I still imagine it might be different when she has run totally out of money, that she'll try to hide that from Tara, not bearing the thought to ask Tara for money so she can buy clothes or something... I fear that particular revelation will come with kind of a "breakdown" for Willow, because she always felt as the "financial provider" in their relationship - I remember her silent vow in the homeless-shelter that she would see that Tara was always warm and fed and loved. That she'll have to live from Tara's income during the 2 years after graduation will surely feel as a giant personal failure for Willow and she'll need all of Tara's loving understanding to cope with this until the start of Hacker. I'm really looking forward to read how you'll deal with this story arc in the sequel.

Now I'm looking forward to the NC-17-part of their datenight... :wtkiss :flower :bigkiss

If people have ideas or comments or anything like that, I'm always happy to hear them. I even try to fit in requests if I can work them into the story properly (like this bonus bit!), but sometimes there's two roads diverged in a white page and I just take one route over the other using what makes sense in my head.

It's a nice shift for both of them, not that Tara has ever been anything less than adoring, but it's nice for Willow to get to feel it in public.

It is indeed. I'm gradually setting up the sequel.

You know exactly what's coming! It's a delicate balance because nobody wants to read two years worth of time with Willow constantly hating on herself. I have it planned out in a way that hopefully feels real and reads well. And what did I tell you about guessing!! (nah, I'm joking. I actually like that people guess, I'm happier to be predictable and comfortable than have wild surprises that don't make sense)

Quote:
Now I'm looking forward to the NC-17-part of their datenight... :wtkiss :flower :bigkiss


I had intended to leave that to people's imaginations but you're not the first person to say that so I'll have to do a little somethin' somethin'!

Thanks for your feedback :)

I wasn’t going to write the NC-17 portion of their date, but a few people requested it and it didn’t fit in with the next chapter, so here it is as a bonus. It’s pretty gratuitous, so if you’re not into the sex stuff, you won’t miss anything by not reading it.



~Bonus Interlude~




Tara leaned against the doorframe as she waited for Willow to root out her keys.


Her glassy eyes floated towards Willow’s chest. The t-shirt she was wearing wasn’t revealing, but it was tight and Tara could make out the outline of Willow’s bra.


She moved behind Willow, taking a slight misstep as the wine had fuddled her brain just slightly. She compensated by wrapping her arms around Willow’s middle and pressing right up against her back. She dipped her head into Willow’s neck and inhaled softly.


“I had a lovely day.”


Willow found her key and turned it in the door.


“Yeah I want to look up the best quiz books and see if the library has any.”


Tara followed Willow into the room without letting her go. She nuzzled her nose under Willow’s ear, then whispered in it.


“You can do that tomorrow…”


Willow walked out of the embrace and sat at the desk to open her laptop.


“I just want to get started on a list.”


Tara puffed out a frustrated breath of air. She stumbled back against the wall, removed her boots while only swaying a tad, then reached behind and unzipped her dress. It pooled at her ankles and she stepped out of it daintily. She looked in the mirror and pulled at the cups of her bra so she was spilling out a bit more revealingly and pushed her panties down the barest hint so either hip bone was exposed.


She bunched at her hair so it was tousled and a little bit wild, then reapplied her deep red lipstick. She managed to do that all silently and the last of the alcohol running through her veins made her spritely on her feet.


She then quite gracefully fell back onto the bed, turned herself on her side with her legs crossed provocatively at the knee and held her head up with her upturned palm.


“Are you sure it can’t wait?”


“I’ll just be ten min…ininininin…” Willow started, finding herself reduced to a stutter when she turned her head and caught sight of Tara in her matching blue and black bra and pantie set.


Tara curled her finger in a come-hither motion.


“You can be ‘ininininin’ but you have to get over ‘hereherehereherehere’ first.”


Willow dropped the lid of her laptop with one finger and crossed the few feet between the desk and the bed. She slipped out of her too-loose converse with ease and climbed over Tara.


“I’m a dumbass.”


Tara grabbed Willow’s butt through her pants.


“Your ass doesn’t need to be smart when it looks so good in these jeans.”


Willow smirked.


“You should see it out of them.”


“Oh, yes please,” Tara replied, immediately tossing Willow onto her back and making a grab for the jeans.


Willow helped wiggle out of them and kicked them away when the last leg finally slipped past her ankle. She crossed her arms over her torso and lifted her t-shirt over her head. Before it had finished flying over her hair, Tara’s face was pressed into the dip of Willow’s bra and nuzzling against the curves of her breasts, leaving red lip marks all over her.


Willow tossed her shirt, but it landed over the lamp and she had difficulty trying to yank it off without disturbing Tara, because she didn’t want her to stop for even a second. Eventually she made the barest grasp and tugged it away, but not without having a precarious few seconds of watching the lamp toddle back and forth. She breathed out a sigh of relief when it came to a halt, but it was the last action her mouth got before Tara raised herself the last few inches and took hold of it.


Willow grabbed Tara’s cheeks and returned the kiss as intensely as she was given, her body squirming under Tara as their thighs glided together. One hand moved down and slid under the fabric of Tara’s panties to cup her rear. She rubbed and moulded the skin there, making the front of Tara’s panties press into Willow’s thigh.


Willow could feel they were damp and every so often the fabric would give and she would feel Tara’s wet flesh brush briefly against her skin.


It made her own arousal gush from her and her head swim with desire. Her tongue was being bathed by Tara’s but it wasn’t close enough. She rolled Tara onto her back and pressed their bodies together at every point. It still wasn’t close enough. Her hands worked her own bra free first, then Tara’s. They were discarded without looking and Willow moaned into Tara’s mouth when their breasts pushed and nipples rolled against each other.


Tara arched her back and tilted her head back into the pillows. Willow kissed Tara’s bared throat, her lips trembling over Tara’s larynx as it vibrated with her moan. Willow’s hand slid up to cup Tara’s breast as her mouth moved down to take her nipple.


Tara’s eyes rolled back into her head with pleasure and a groan bubbled out when Willow’s teeth scraped and nibbled on her pebbling flesh. She made a blind grab for Willow’s hand and brought it up to her mouth, licking the pads of her thumb and index finger before placing those at her other nipple. Willow pinched and a guttural cry passed Tara’s lips and hung in the air.


After a few minutes, Willow encouraged Tara onto her back, who complied and sighed into the pillow as the length of her back was kissed.


She lifted her hips when she felt her panties slide over her ass, then got up on her hands and knees when Willow’s hands coaxed her thighs upwards.


Willow felt the muscles in Tara’s thighs twitch as she spread them and saw the shudder pass through her spine when she slipped her hand under and slid her fingers between Tara’s lips. She turned them so they were wetted, then slid back and entered her from behind.


Tara bit her bottom lip as moans leaked through and her hips thrust back to take more. She felt Willow shuffle up close so her thighs were pressed against the backs of Tara’s.


She was trembling with anticipation as Willow settled and her knuckles grew white from clawing at the sheets under her hands. Finally she felt the first proper stroke of Willow’s fingers and her breath began to labour in sync. It was slow at first, but Tara could tell Willow was getting more and more turned on as her strokes got faster and more erratic.


Tara’s head was thrown back in ecstasy as Willow’s fingers curled inside and beneath her, stimulating her inside and out. Shaky moans filled the room, getting louder and louder as the tension grew taut in her abdomen. She was pushing back and reaching behind her, begging vocally and bodily for more.


“Oh Willow…don’t stop, please…please, more…please…”


Willow was swimming in her panties but she wouldn’t stop for a second to remove them. She reached under Tara to cup a pendulous breast and leaned over to press kisses against her back. Tara’s cries became keener and Willow felt that first swell of fiery heat around her fingers. The hitched breath and arched back followed, then almost immediately the hot clasp inside and a desperate intake of breath.


Willow was still trembling with need but she stayed inside, intending to bring Tara down slowly. Tara, however, had different ideas and while still in the orgasmic haze, she rotated around and grabbed Willow. Her panties were off quicker than Willow could realise it and seconds later Tara was inside her.


“Fuck!”


Tara put Willow on her back, laid half on top of her and bent Willow’s leg over her hip to open her up. She moved her body in line with her hand inside Willow, giving her strokes momentum and power.


Willow crossed her hands behind Tara’s neck and pulled them together. Her inner muscles squeezed Tara’s fingers in a welcoming embrace and she felt those first jolts between her legs.


Tara was breathless and still throbbing as she twisted her fingers inside Willow and sought out her sweet spot. When she found it, she rubbed there for the few seconds it took for Willow to really scream, then removed her hand completely.


Willow felt the emptiness like a hunger when she hadn’t eaten for days. Her unfocused eyes sought Tara out to see what was happening, and she was almost immediately re-transfixed by watching Tara’s glossy fingers slide in and out of her mouth.


Her whole face bobbed following their journey, her eyes wide and unblinking so they wouldn’t miss a moment. Finally Tara released her fingers with an audible pop, bored her eyes into Willow’s for an intense moment, then offered a sultry crooked smile and started to sink down the bed.


Willow’s eyelids fluttered closed as Tara’s lips sunk between her legs. She spread her thighs to accommodate and moaned loudly so Tara would hear. It worked and Tara brought her tongue out to play, sliding into every warm, wet crevice it could find.


Willow’s hips rose up to meet Tara’s tongue, then grinded back into the bed and repeated the process until she'd established the rhythm she wanted. Her head shook back and forth on the pillow and various keen sounds floated past her lips. She was so near the breaking point and Tara was teasing, so she gave her head a little push.


“Please…”


Willow had been attentive to her pleas earlier, so Tara wrapped her arms around Willow’s thighs and went for it.


Willow’s quivering moans all started to mash together in a continuous melody of ecstasy. Her hands covered her face and her hips arched as she tried to push her body to its limit and force the tension to break. Those few seconds were agony but finally a well-timed suck on her clit made it all explode and she felt herself leave her body and slam back in.


She gave one last, long shudder, then her hands fell away from her face as she panted. Tara came up and landed on top of her, panting too from her efforts.


Willow sluggishly stroked Tara’s arm and wiggled her toes against Tara’s. Tara turned her chin up, smiled at Willow and nuzzled into her neck.


“Do you think we’ll still be having great sex in two to the power of six years?”


Willow nodded surely.


“The evidence would suggest in the affirmative.”


Tara reached for Willow’s other hand and linked their fingers.


“Can’t deny evidence.”


“Unless you’re a creationist,” Willow countered.


Tara grinned.


“I don’t think they’d be too wild about the gay sex part either.”


Willow scoffed.


“They have no idea what they’re missing out on.”


Tara turned her face in and kissed Willow’s chest.


“My sexy prime.”


Willow waggled her shoulders in a bit of a swagger.


“Hey, if you were y=x then I’d be y=\sin{x}, because that would make us osculating.”


Tara put a finger on Willow’s chin to drop it and pressed their lips together. She pushed her tongue past Willow’s teeth for just a teasing second before resting her cheek back on Willow’s shoulder.


“Then we must be, because we just were.”


Willow kissed Tara’s exposed cheek.


“You’re sweeter than 3.14.”


“Maybe about 80%,” Tara replied with another grin.


Willow laughed.


“Wow, Greek numeral wordplay. Nice. There’s hope for your nerd credentials yet,” she said as she wrapped her arms around Tara, feeling warm and content, “Well, then how about this for some truth…”


She turned her head to meet Tara’s eyes and smiled adoringly.


“You are my only element. Because without you, I’d be empty.”

TITLE: College Confidential

WRITER: Laragh

CHAPTER RATING: PG-13

DISCLAIMER: Willow, Tara and any other characters from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise belong to Joss Whedon, FOX, ME and a whole host of other entities, none of which are me.

SUMMARY: The first part of the prequel to Hacker Confidential and Family Confidential - the college years!

SPOILERS: Perhaps minor references to the show or stealage of dialogue, but nothing that would spoil the series.

FEEDBACK: Yes please

Chapter 104

********

Tara worked her hardest to keep her breathing in check as the elevator ascended through the floors.


She checked her buttons on her blouse for the third time since stepping in, then quickly straightened her back when the elevator jerked to a halt. The doors sprung open and a sign directed Tara to offices off to the left.


She walked down the small hallway, then through a pair of glass doors to an open-plan office space. A plaque on the wall told her she was at the right place. There was a reception area, a woman behind a semi-circle desk, whom Tara moved to approach, but instead her attention was called by another woman in one of the cubicles.


“Intern?”


Tara spun around with wide-eyed innocence and nodded.


“Yes.”


The woman motioned her forwards and moved some wispy brown bangs away from her face.


“You’re early. I like that. Have you got the paperwork we sent out to you?”


Tara handed over the brown envelope she had been clutching to her chest. The woman flicked through them quickly to make sure everything was in order.


“Okay, good,” she said, frazzled as she looked back to Tara, “You did an internship with a private agency last year, is that correct?”


“Yes, and the YMCA,” Tara replied, making a concentrated effort to keep any trace of stutter out of her voice.


“So you did mostly placements and childcare?” the woman enquired.


Tara nodded.


“And administration.”


The woman cast an eye to the pile of files loaded on her desk.


“Well, there’s plenty of that here, but the work is very different. Children are taken into the system for a lot of reasons and abuse and neglect is the top one,” she said, then eyed Tara carefully, “Have you ever met an abused child? Looked at the result of that kind of evil in the eye? ”


Tara only hesitated a moment and hoped her eye twitch wasn’t noticed.


“Yes.”


The woman nodded once, accepting that answer.


“You’ll learn how to interact with parents and children, the protocols and what to do. Most importantly, what not to do. We have laws to follow and it is always a delicate situation. We have to act with our heads to avoid making it a whole lot worse. Are you ready to dive in?”


“Yes, ma’am,” Tara replied dutifully.


The woman cracked a smile.


“You can cut that out for a start. It’s Alice. Alice Kenter.”


Tara extended her hand.


“Tara Maclay.”


Alice shook Tara’s hand as warmly as anyone had ever shook it. They exchanged a smile for several seconds, then Alice picked up the file on the top of her pile.


“Well, Tara Maclay, let me introduce you to Susie Hargreaves. Nineteen years old, recovering heroin addict, clean drug tests since week eight of pregnancy of son Emerson, now four months old. No family, father in jail on drug offences and baby has been temporarily placed in foster care when mother was put in hospital by former dealer. We’re doing a home visit today to see if conditions have improved. Read this cover to cover, we’re leaving in an hour.”


Tara blinked several times, but took it all in, and held the file against her chest. She started to look around and was quickly steered to the right.


“Break room.”


“Break room,” Tara repeated and took one long stride in that direction before wondering if she was being sent there for a reason, “Did you…need a coffee?”


Alice looked over her shoulder at her and grinned.


“If I want you to do scut work, I’ll get you to write up my reports.”


Tara blushed and hurried off to the empty break room. She sat at the table, opened the file and began to absorb as much of the history as she could.





Tara stared quietly ahead in the car, mind churning after leaving the home visit. The mother had been clean and presentable and desperate for her son back, but the needles in the hallway and the aggressive, fighting couple she was renting a room off were not conditions they could sign off on.


“There has to be something else we can do,” she said eventually.


Alice nodded, slightly jaded.


“We keep at it.”


“But something…more,” Tara continued, holding her hands up, at a loss, “Find her better accommodation. She’s stayed clean, she got a part time job…”


“I’d love to give a shiny new apartment to every person who needs it, but we don’t have those kind of resources,” Alice replied, finger tapping on the steering wheel, “We’ll keep trying to get her into employment and education programs so she can get a better job and afford her own place. That’s the best we can do.”


Tara didn’t want to accept that, but feared it was true. They parked on the street outside the office building and Alice turned off the car.


“Are you coming back up?”


“Why wouldn’t I?” Tara questioned.


“Lots of people leave when they first realise how bleak this line of work can be,” Alice explained, having gone through more than one intern in her time, “And that sure as hell wasn’t the worst of it. That kid doesn’t have a black eye or broken bones.”


“I can handle it,” Tara replied steadily.


“Good,” Alice replied, nodding her head once, “Well, I stole you away before the boss had a word with you this morning, I have instructions to drop you off for an expectations meeting.”


Alice noticed Tara grew a little nervous and squeezed her arm.


“Don’t worry about it. Paul is lovely. Though stick to calling him Mr. Evans. He won’t ask you anything you haven’t been asked before. Come on.”


Tara got out of the car and followed Alice back up to the offices. She was introduced to the boss, a kind and portly man, and brought in for her ‘meeting’. It was all the same questions she was asked on her application; why she wanted to work there, what she wanted to get out of the job and how she felt it was pursuant to her career.


Tara found him funny and friendly, not minding when she made little jokes and taking her seriously when she spoke of her desire to work in the field and help people.


Eventually Alice knocked on the door and demanded Tara back, rescuing Tara from a long-winded story about a chicken on a golf course. Tara was thankful as she’d been trying her hardest not to zone out and politely shook his hand again before leaving.


“We hear that story every Christmas party,” Alice whispered to Tara as they walked away, “And any time anyone mentions chicken. It got so bad people stopped bringing it in for lunch.”


Tara snorted and immediately covered her mouth in embarrassment. Alice just grinned and brought Tara back to her desk, where there were two chairs waiting.


“I have something even more boring than that story, I’m afraid. I’m going to show you how to write up a standardised report. Ordinary, but very useful. You’ll be writing a dozen or more of these a week if you pursue a career in the field.”


Tara was shown the format, then given a pile of files and templates to write up reports on. It was tedious, but she understood it was a requisite part of the job, and it took her mind of the pain on the face of the mother she’d met earlier when Alice had told her she couldn’t approve a return of her son.


She was told to take lunch, but she decided to eat an apple and a granola bar at the table in the break room while she got through the paperwork. Eventually, Alice popped by, looking quite surprised that she hadn’t been bothered with the mindless questions interns usually bombarded her with.


She nodded, impressed, when she saw how far into the files Tara had come.


“You’re a hard worker.”


Tara smiled modestly, but it faltered when another file was handed to her, albeit a lot thinner one.


“Homework,” Alice said, grinning again when she saw the look on Tara’s face, “No writing, just for you to read. Relevant legislation, statutes. You’ve probably studied some of it already. There won’t be any pop quizzes but I trust you’ll learn it all.”


“Of course,” Tara nodded, securing it away.


Alice gathered the files and Tara’s reports.


“You can head home for the day.”


“Oh, okay,” Tara replied, standing up and shaking Alice’s free hand, “Thank you so much. You were very helpful. I appreciate all the time.”


Alice shook Tara’s hand back, then used it to hold up all the files. She went to leave, but turned back at the last second.


“I said think with your head, and that’s true. But don’t ever lose your heart either. We don’t need people who don’t care.”


Tara offered a genuine nod of understanding.


“I won’t.”


Alice smiled softly.


“Then I’ll see you back here tomorrow morning. We’re on call for the hospital all day.”


Tara didn’t need it to be said, she knew what that would inevitably mean.


“I’ll see you then,” she said, voice firm with conviction.


Alice nodded once.


“Bye, Tara.”


“Bye, Alice,” Tara replied, holding up her hand in a wave until she had gone, then followed in the opposite direction to leave the building.


She took the T home at rush hour, but didn’t mind too much, enjoying being in the ranks of the other working people on their way home from work. The novelty wore off quickly though and was seriously waning by the time she stepped back out onto the street. She was grateful to get a lungful of fresh air and to brush off the smell of compacted people and the brush of men's five o'clock shadows against her face when there was a stumble.


She walked home, baffled as to how straight women dealt with that scratchy stubble all the time. It was the nails on a chalkboard of facial sensations to her.


She came through the door of the dorm and was pleased to see Willow give her the greatest honour by shutting her laptop to say hello.


“Hi, baby!” Willow greeted, as enthusiastically as ever, “How’d it go? Been dying to hear all day. Was it everything you expected?”


Tara came over to the bed, kissed Willow’s cheek, and sat beside her with her feet up.


“Yes and no.”


“Uh oh,” Willow replied, putting a hand on Tara’s knee, “That doesn’t sound good.”


Tara was quietly thoughtful for a few moments.


“Last year, I came home and I thought, this is what I want to do. I loved it. I loved seeing loving parents get a child they longed for. I loved taking care of the babies. I loved the kids. I loved being a role model,” she said, then sighed deeply, “I saw the other side of it all today. When kids get taken away. The parents left behind. And tomorrow it will be so much worse. Just…the pain. All the pain.”


Her face was creased, but then she just smiled.


“But I still want to do it. I want to help these people. I want to do this job even more than I did this time last year.”


Willow exhaled a breath she didn’t realise she was holding.


“Because you’re amazing.”


Tara shook her head.


“No, because there are amazing people out there, adults and children, who are victims of circumstance or abuse and they deserve someone fighting their corner. I can be that person.”


Willow pressed her forehead into the side of Tara’s head.


“I’m so proud of you,” she whispered, kissing the top of Tara’s ear, “You’re so lucky you know just what you want to do.”


“Well you must have a little idea,” Tara replied jokingly as she massaged the palm of her right hand.


“Been looking at grad schools and stuff,” Willow replied half-heartedly, then noticed Tara’s perceived fidgeting, “What’s wrong?”


Tara stretched out her sore palm.


“Oh, I just had to write a whole bunch today.”


“Well I believe I am the official Tara-massager round these parts,” Willow replied with a grin as she took Tara’s hand, “Now, how’s that?”


“Very nice,” Tara replied, leaning her head onto Willow’s shoulder, “I have a whole bunch of homework to learn.”


“Ooh, fun,” Willow replied, pressing her thumbs into Tara’s palm, “But can it wait a few minutes?”


Tara smiled softly and pressed a kiss into Willow’s neck.


“Yeah. Yeah it can.”





Tara turned the key in the door, took a deep breath and walked into their room.


Unusually for her, she was thankful to see Willow wasn’t home yet. She headed straight for the bathroom, turned the faucet on and started to cry.


It had been a long day in and out of the hospital, with scared kids and angry parents. She was only there in an observing capacity, which she was thankful about, and it had taught she was lucky to be getting that experience before she ever had to do it for real.


She let herself have two minutes, then cleaned up her face and walked back into the room. Willow was coming in the other side at the same time and lit up when she saw her.


“Hey, you.”


Willow came over and embraced Tara, dropping her books off on the desk on the way. She hugged Tara for several seconds then cocked her head curiously.


“Are you okay?” she asked, rubbing the skin under Tara’s eyes with her thumb, “Your eyes are all red.”


“Rubbing them,” Tara offered as an explanation, “Tired. Long day.”


Willow nodded and took her hands away, kissing the spots where her thumbs had been.


“Have you eaten?”


Tara shook her head and Willow rubbed her hands together.


“Let’s order a pizza and relax for the evening,” she said, dying for some of her favourite cheesy treat since she’d gone so long without it with her new economically cautious ways, “My homework can wait ‘til tomorrow.”


Tara put her hand on the way of Willow’s shoulders, splaying her fingers out.


“You know you turn me on that when you say that.”


“Hang onto that,” Willow replied with a suggestive look, then popped a kiss on Tara’s lips, “Get some comfies on and I’ll order.”


Tara kissed Willow squarely on the forehead, lingering there for a moment.


“You are my strength.”


Willow turned her chin up to regard Tara.


“You sure you’re okay?”


Tara nodded.


“I am now.”


Willow just smiled and nodded back, then went to get her phone.


“Haven’t had a peach and pepperoni in a while, feel like one?”


Tara sat down on the end of the bed and took her shoes off while sending a quirked grin in Willow’s direction.


“I would love some Sweet Red.”


Willow blushed but went about ordering, while Tara changed into some sweats and a t-shirt. Willow threw on some monkey pj bottoms and a tank top as soon as she was back with the pizza and they snuggled up on the bed to eat it together and watch funny YouTube videos.


They giggled through videos of pets, kids and a spoof instructional video on how to be a nerd that Willow lapped up. Willow then showed Tara some impromptu classical music concerts in subway and bus stations and introduced her to the concept of flash mobs.


“I’d love to do one if I wasn’t so klutzy,” Willow said, “I’d go the wrong way and ruin it for everyone. Love to see one sometime.”


She was about to click on a recommended video, when she saw a link on the corner of the page and clicked on it instead.


“Hey look, first date questions,” she said, lifting her knees up to read the screen better, “Wanna play?”


“So you can do quizzes from trashy websites but I can’t do them from trashy magazines?” Tara asked, an eyebrow lifted.


Willow nodded definitively.


“Yes.”


Tara folded her arms on her chest.


“And why is that?”


“Because I don’t pay good money for it,” Willow retorted with a grin.


Tara bumped her shoulder, but was smiling too. Willow scrolled the page until she found a question she liked.


“What superpower would you have for one day?”


Tara tilted her head and was considered it for several long seconds.


“The power to take away pain.”


Willow launched into the same silence.


“Wow, I was going to say telekinesis or something.”


Tara smiled softly.


“That would be cool too.”


“It totally would,” Willow replied with a giggle, “I could play the best pranks.”


Tara shot her a look, so Willow quickly spoke up again.


“Not on you!”


She chuckled nervously and found another question to fill the quiet.


“What happened the last time you cried?”


Tara tensed and sighed. She didn’t want to ruin their evening when she’d gotten over the trauma of the day enough for them to relax together.


“I don’t think I can remember.”


“I do, when Miss Fishy died,” Willow replied, tucking herself under Tara’s arm, “I’m so glad you were on the other end of the phone.”


“Wish I’d been here to say goodbye with you,” Tara said, rubbing Willow’s arm gently, “She’s in her fishy heaven.”


Their heads moved against each other and they both had a quiet moment looking at the spot where the fish bowl had been, before sharing a smile and getting back to their game.


“What’s the last book you really loved?” Willow asked, taking a peek at Tara’s nightstand, but it was bookless and gave no clues.


“I think The Notebook,” Tara replied, still smiling, “I loved that passage you highlighted for me on the anniversary treasure hunt…I was kind of shocked you defaced a library book though.”


“And I was shocked that you stole it,” Willow said with a giggle, “Mine was Harry Potter, of course. I got a bunch of new indie books in a package on kindle though, that I’m getting through. Some really awful fantasy, but some decent science fiction. Have you ever heard of the twilight series? For your sake, I hope not.”


Tara grinned and tickled Willow in the hip.


“I bet you wish you had one of those electronic thingies as a kid, you wouldn’t have had to sneak a flashlight into your bed.”


Willow laughed and squirmed on the spot.


“You know, it’s funny, I figured I’d drop real books for it, but I do about 50-50. Still like to own the book when it’s something I really love. Don’t tell anyone, you’ll ruin my techno-nerd street cred.”


Tara kissed the side of Willow’s head.


“Your secret is safe with me.”


Willow snuggled into Tara.


“What one thing would you be most disappointed if you never got to experience it?”


“Motherhood,” Tara answered immediately.


Willow’s eyes glanced to Tara.


“You answered that pretty quick.”


“I’ve always wanted it,” Tara answered honestly, “It’s always been important.”


Willow tapped the mousepad of her laptop a few times, then placed her hand over Tara’s on her hip.


“I was pretty apathetic about the whole thing,” she said, turning her head in so her face was pressed to Tara’s neck, “Until I met you and you showed me what family is supposed to be.”


Tara titled Willow’s chin up and kissed her softly, then nuzzled her nose.


“Let me ask one,” she said, taking the computer into her lap, “What happened the time in your life when you were the most nervous to do something?”


Willow stuck her tongue between her teeth in a grin.


“Well it ended with a smooch on a park bench.”


“A very nice smooch,” Tara replied, popping another one on Willow’s lips for effect, “If you could go back in time, what is one piece of advice you would give your younger self?”


Willow sat right back against the wall, eyes blinking.


“Wow,” she said, finding it a difficult to pick one of the many things running through her mind, “Hang in there, I guess. Good things are coming. Look out for a sexy broad whose name begins with ‘T’. Don’t headbutt her when she tongues your nipple.”


Tara pursed her lips, having wisely taken that item off her tease list and searched for another question.


“You know something, I don’t think I even know this one. You have so many,” she said, looking over to the overflowing piles of DVDs, which wasn’t even half of her digital collection, “What is your favourite TV show of all time?”


“Pfft,” Willow replied, waving a dismissive hand about, “Easy. Star Trek.”


“That would have been my educated guess. Last one,” Tara replied as she read the last line on the screen, “Who knows you best?”


Willow leaned in and left a soft, sweet and lingering kiss on Tara cheek.


“You do.”


Tara closed the laptop with one finger and left it on Willow’s nightstand. She scooted down on the bed and pulled Willow half on top of her by the waistband of her pants.


“Why don’t we expand on that earlier thought I put on hold?”


Willow’s eyes fluttered in pleasure as Tara’s lips descended into her neck.


“Set phasers to sexy…”

Hey Laragh :bigwave

I have to ask, is this Alice at the D.F.C the same one that Tara meets later on in Hacker Confidential?

I gotta say Tara has the biggest balls of anyone I've ever known going in for the kind of work that she is. I know it's not something I could do easily because I can get pretty emotional over things and just reading the dialogue on Alice and Tara's return from the ex-junkie's apartment was upsetting me. Laugh if you will but I just hate stuff like this happening to people. It makes me sad.

Eventually Alice knocked on the door and demanded Tara back, rescuing Tara from a long-winded story about a chicken on a golf course.

A pity as I'd liked to have heard that story lol :)

“No writing, just for you to read. Relevant legislation, statutes."

This made me wonder, just how much law would Tara have had to study. Surely some would have been necessary in case she had to go to the law courts over a child being abused and asking judges or high court officials for the right to approve the child be removed from its parent(s) and put into safe custody.

I can understand Tara's why she wants to do thejob she does, having come from an abused background herself she want to ensure that all people who have been in her situation have a better opportunity in life than she had.

“Are you okay?” she asked, rubbing the skin under Tara’s eyes with her thumb, “Your eyes are all red.”
“Rubbing them,” Tara offered as an explanation, “Tired. Long day.”


Oh Tara you silly girl, you know you should never lie to Willow about anything. Just tell her about your day then she'll just hold you and let you cry on her shoulder for as long as you need.

...a spoof instructional video on how to be a nerd that Willow lapped up.

Please tell me that this video exists on YouTube :)

I like that although Willow is unaware of what Tara has been through that day emotion-wise she is still able to make her girlfriend happy again.

“I was pretty apathetic about the whole thing,” she said, “Until I met you and you showed me what family is supposed to be.”

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww sweet

Willow says her favourite all time show is Star Trek but is it just the classic series or would she go for all the shows?

And yet another very fun chapter but with a slightly darker shade as Tara starts her time as an intern at the D.F.C, hopefully though all will turn out well.

Can't wait to see what happens next.

Til next week toodles :)

Hi Laragh, firstly I want to thank you for the bonus chapter. I never get tired of your "sex scenes", really, because I can always feel the deep love and soulmate-bound they share. It's never just sex, but "making love".

As to the last chapter: Yay, Alice is back!!!! :applause :applause :applause :applause :applause :applause
- well, there for the first time confidential-wise, but you know what I mean!

I'm really proud of Tara's inner strength, that she is willing to bear all this incredible pain of abused kids (and some "lost" parents) that she with her immense compassion kind of feels like her own, because of her need to help those victims. We already know from the sequels that she found her true calling at the DCF, but I love to see it from the beginning.

But I am a bit troubled by the fact that she "lied" to Willow about her crying...I really hope she will soon remember their mutual promise to tell each other about their sorrows and fears and will allow Willow to really comfort her.

I'm really looking forward to the next chapter and glad that I won't have to wait long :)

Yay for great update-y goodness... I hope Willow learns the nasty side of Tara's job so she can really comfort her and help her cope...


She will, she will.

Yay for return of Sweet Red...


It was due a comeback!

Hey Laragh :bigwave


Hi :)

Quote:
I have to ask, is this Alice at the D.F.C the same one that Tara meets later on in Hacker Confidential?


It is indeed!

Quote:
I gotta say Tara has the biggest balls of anyone I've ever known going in for the kind of work that she is. I know it's not something I could do easily because I can get pretty emotional over things and just reading the dialogue on Alice and Tara's return from the ex-junkie's apartment was upsetting me. Laugh if you will but I just hate stuff like this happening to people. It makes me sad.


I'm with you! I actually wanted to be a social worker, but it's probably for the best that it didn't work out!

Quote:
A pity as I'd liked to have heard that story lol :)


You might just yet...

Quote:
This made me wonder, just how much law would Tara have had to study. Surely some would have been necessary in case she had to go to the law courts over a child being abused and asking judges or high court officials for the right to approve the child be removed from its parent(s) and put into safe custody.


There's definitely laws they have to know and follow.

Quote:
I can understand Tara's why she wants to do thejob she does, having come from an abused background herself she want to ensure that all people who have been in her situation have a better opportunity in life than she had.


It's healing for her to help others when she felt so helpless to help herself

Quote:
Oh Tara you silly girl, you know you should never lie to Willow about anything. Just tell her about your day then she'll just hold you and let you cry on her shoulder for as long as you need.


She just decided she'd done her crying and a fun evening with Willow instead of a dour one was much more what she needed.

Quote:
Please tell me that this video exists on YouTube :)

Quote:
I like that although Willow is unaware of what Tara has been through that day emotion-wise she is still able to make her girlfriend happy again.


That's definitely a patented Willow-skill!

Quote:
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww sweet


Well Willow is the sweetest...

Quote:
Willow says her favourite all time show is Star Trek but is it just the classic series or would she go for all the shows?


I think she's a classic girl, with some appreciation for the spin-offs.

Quote:
And yet another very fun chapter but with a slightly darker shade as Tara starts her time as an intern at the D.F.C, hopefully though all will turn out well.


I think you know it will ;)

Quote:
Can't wait to see what happens next.


Some art room fun

Quote:
Til next week toodles :)


Toodles!

Thanks for your feedback :)

Will's redemption -

Quote:
Hi Laragh, firstly I want to thank you for the bonus chapter. I never get tired of your "sex scenes", really, because I can always feel the deep love and soulmate-bound they share. It's never just sex, but "making love".


Thank you and I'm glad because that is definitely how they feel!

Quote:
As to the last chapter: Yay, Alice is back!!!! :applause :applause :applause :applause :applause :applause
- well, there for the first time confidential-wise, but you know what I mean!


It's all coming together *maniacal laugh*

Quote:
I'm really proud of Tara's inner strength, that she is willing to bear all this incredible pain of abused kids (and some "lost" parents) that she with her immense compassion kind of feels like her own, because of her need to help those victims. We already know from the sequels that she found her true calling at the DCF, but I love to see it from the beginning.


She's definitely one of those people that has a 'vocation' she has to fulfil.

Quote:
But I am a bit troubled by the fact that she "lied" to Willow about her crying...I really hope she will soon remember their mutual promise to tell each other about their sorrows and fears and will allow Willow to really comfort her.


I can understand the troublement, but it wasn't something she was hiding, just something she dealt with on her own and decided not to dampen the mood with. Lots of people compartmentalise work. That's not to say Tara might not need comfort in the future or have to learn better ways to cope, but right then she just needed 5 minutes to let her feelings out in private.

Quote:
I'm really looking forward to the next chapter and glad that I won't have to wait long :)


Chapter 105 of 108 coming your way...

Thanks for the feedback :)

Chapter 105

********

Tara was standing over the bed, folding laundry, and watching Willow, who was hunched in the corner with her face buried in a book.


She was pondering on whether to try and pull her away from it or not, when she was distracted by a knock at the door. Willow didn’t even glance up, so Tara sighed and went to answer it.


“Hi Becky,” she greeted, holding the door open for her to walk in.


Becky walked in and nodded towards Willow.


“What’s with intenso over there?”


“We joined this quiz league thing,” Tara explained, “The final is this weekend. She’s cramming.”


Becky just nodded, then went and flopped back onto the bed, taking a pair of socks Tara had balled up and tossing it up in the air to catch.


“Well, puzzle me this, Willow, what are we doing about your birthday?”


Tara swatted Becky to the edge, away from her neatly folded t-shirts and Becky complied, scooting her butt a few inches away. Willow wasn’t responding, so Becky fired the socks at her head.


Willow grumbled, but didn’t look up.


“Tara and I already talked about it,” she replied, turning over to the next glossy page, “We’re going to the movies in the afternoon and the quiz is in the evening.”


“And the night?” Becky prompted.


Definitely none of your business,” Willow replied and missed the resulting glare from Tara.


“You’re going to do some dorky quiz on your birthday?” Becky asked, nose scrunched.


Willow momentarily looked up and grinned, flashing her teeth.


“Yep, and I can’t wait.”


Becky sighed dramatically.


“What about a party the night before?”


“No parties,” Willow replied adamantly, “They’ve all been disasters. I just want to relax.”


“Okay, yeah, last year didn't work out the greatest,” Becky admitted, “But what was wrong with your 20th?"


“Because when we came home–”


Willow got another pair of socks flung at her head, but from Tara this time. She looked up, copped Tara's glare and gulped, then quickly looked back at her book.


“No parties,” she finished adamantly.


“We’d love to go to dinner with you and Jack sometime though,” Tara interjected before Becky could question anything, “We haven't seen much of him since spring break.”


Becky nodded happily at that.


“Sure, why not?” she asked, then sat upright again, “Alright…I guess I’ll have to just party extra hard for you.”


“You do that, Beck,” Willow replied genuinely, though still buried in her book, “Toast me a beer and bring me a cupcake and I’ll be one happy Willow.”


Becky accepted that with a nod and swung her head towards Tara. Tara handed her one end of a sheet and stepped away with the other end to begin to fold it.


“How’s things going?”


“Pretty good,” Becky replied, jostling the sheet as she spoke, “I’m getting kind of scared how close graduation is, though.”


Tara tried to keep the sheet as straight as possible and eventually just took it back to fold by herself.


“I know. I kind of got a big smack of reality when I did the internship.”


“But it went well?” Becky asked.


“I got good reports,” Tara replied modestly, “How’s Jack?”


“He’s grouchy ‘cause he’s had to pause filmmaking to finish up classes and stuff, but he’ll be fine when he can put a camera in his hand again,” Becky replied with a lovesick smile on her face, “It’s so funny to think he never picked one up before that class you all did together and now it’s like a fifth limb.”


She paused, then offered her requisite grin.


“Well…sixth.”


Tara cleared her throat and tried to contain a blush.


“And are you in love?”


Becky paused and her smile changed back to adoration.


“I am head over heels and you know what? I’m not afraid to admit it,” she said with a sigh, “We had such a blast in Florida and I still wanted to spend time with him when we got home. He just…grounds me. I totally get why Willow wants to just stay in with you now. I finally have someone I’d rather stay in with than go out alone.”


“It’s nice, isn’t it?” Tara asked, glancing lovingly at Willow.


“It’s disgusting,” Becky replied, throwing her eyes upwards, then smiling, “And wonderful.”


She paused, then stood up.


“Maybe I’ll go see how he’s doing today.”


“Say hello,” Tara requested, smiling at her happiness, “Call us about dinner.”


“I will,” Becky replied, then looked back to Willow, “Hey, remember Willow, to acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe.”


“Wisdom schmisdom, it’s a general knowledge quiz!” Willow retorted, stretching her back out as she spoke.


Becky just shook her head.


“She’s a lost cause to books.”


Tara folded a pair of pyjama bottoms over her arm and gave a rare smirk.


“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”


Becky clapped her hands together and laughed.


“Nice quoting,” she complimented, then kissed her hand and blew it in a semi-circle towards both of them, “Bye lovebirds.”


“Goodbye, Becky,” Tara replied and Willow grunted a farewell as Becky left and pulled the door closed behind her, “Wow, Jack really is grounding her. She barely pushed the party issue at all.”


Willow’s eyes were frighteningly wide as she tried to absorb every word she was reading.


“Uh huh.”


Tara started to pack away clothes in the dresser.


“You are being a little bit intense, honey.”


Willow’s brow creased angrily.


“We are only two points behind those Red Hot Quizzy Preppers and I will be damned if I let those smug bearded bastards win!”


Tara clicked her tongue.


“Willow, there’s no need to bring their appearance into it.”


“There’s every need,” Willow muttered, “That one guy’s so hairy, I swear he hides answers in his beard!”


Tara closed the dresser drawer and folded her arms across her chest.


“I think their beards are sexy.”


The book slammed closed and Willow’s head shot up towards Tara, eyes as wide as saucers. Tara’s arms dropped to her sides.


That’s the most attention you’ve given me in three days.”


Willow deflated and smiled sheepishly.


“You don’t really think they’re sexy, do you?”


“I think you’re sexy when your tongue pokes out as you concentrate,” Tara replied, then offered her hands, “But everyone needs a break.”


Willow took Tara’s hands and pulled herself up.


“I was doing it again. Like with the research project.”


Tara moved her hands to Willow’s arms and gently rubbed up and down.


“You haven’t been that bad. You just get all caught up in those question and answer books but it’s no worse than Harry Potter. I just wanted to point out that it’s just a quiz.”


In truth, she just didn’t want Willow to be heartbroken if they lost. Willow seemed to understand and nodded, leaving the book where it was on the floor.


“Well, you deserve some Willow time. What would you like to do?”


Tara looked down at her watch and her face grew pained at the thought of rejecting her girlfriend for the plans she couldn’t change, but then a thought occurred to her.


“…would you like to help me with an art project?”


“Is it another nude portrait?” Willow asked, shuffling her feet nervously, “Because I kinda wanted to keep that private.”


“It is private,” Tara reassured, “No, it’s something different.”


Willow shrugged one shoulder and nodded with a smile.


“Well, okay. Sure. If you want me to.”


“I’d love you to,” Tara replied, pleased, “Can you throw on some old clothes?”


“Uh huh!” Willow agreed and bustled over to the closet.


Tara was already in sweats and a t-shirt to do laundry, so she just pocketed her keys and student ID and waited, leaning against the door. Willow finally turned back around, in a faded blue tank with a talking clam on the front and some old, grey sweats.


She had folded down the waistband as the elasticity had worn a bit and made them loose. That left an inch of exposed skin between it and the hem of her shirt, which Tara noticed and held a lingering gaze at.


“Mmm, hello sexy.”


Willow blushed, her arms swinging by her side.


“Yeah, I’m a total dreamboat right now.”


Tara held her hand out for Willow to take, then pulled her forwards and wrapped an arm around her waist.


“Always.”


Willow began to smile, then felt a pinch on her rear and it turned into a grin. Tara started to lead her outside, and Willow could feel her girlfriend’s fingertips pushing just a quarter inch inside her sweats to rub her hipbone.


It was a barely perceptible movement but Willow was very aware of it and loved the sneaky touch that no else around them could tell was even happening.


She was brought to a building she’d only ever walked by before, the art rooms, and followed Tara through signing out a room and then going upstairs to said room. The room was fairly cosy, with tiled floors covered in plastic tarp and white walls with different spatterings of colour all over them.


There were crates with all kinds of paints and paintbrushes along the sides of the walls and a closet in the corner, also covered in wayward paint spills. Against the back wall was a huge canvas, almost reaching the ceiling and the walls either side of it.


Willow couldn’t imagine trying to paint something on it and thought Tara would end up needing a stepladder to put any kind of detail in.


“What’s your assignment?” she asked, wondering how on earth she was going to help.


“It’s not an assignment, as such,” Tara answered, going over to the paints and picking out the colours she wanted, “Well, it is, but’s a personal choice one. I have to paint one thing, sculpt one thing and construct one thing, all of my own choosing. No guidelines.”


“That’s fun,” Willow replied, smiling, “I wish I could write papers on the topic of my choice. So what are we doing?”


Tara handed Willow some paints while she collected the rest.


“I’m doing a mind, body, soul theme and this is the body.”


“So you’re painting a body?” Willow asked, confused, “Do you need to use my outline or something?”


Tara just smiled.


“I’m going a bit less literal,” she said, straightening up with Willow again, “We’re going to use our bodies as the brush.”


Willow paused to try and understand, but didn’t.


“Huh?”


Tara squirted some green paint into her hands, rubbed them together, then dragged a hand down her own face.


Willow watched, bewildered, as Tara then approached the canvas and pressed her face into it while trailing her hands in circles above. Tara looked absurd doing it, but after a moment, took a step back and smiled.


“Perfect,” she said, then looked over her shoulder at Willow, “Your turn.”


Willow took a hesitant step forward.


“What should I do?”


Tara gestured all around.


“Whatever you want. It doesn’t matter.”


“But doesn’t it need to have a purpose?” Willow asked, quirking an eyebrow.


“The purpose isn’t always in the outcome,” Tara replied.


That didn’t sit too well in Willow’s scientific brain.


“What if I ruin it?”


“You can’t,” Tara replied with a smile, “Every addition is a positive one.”


Willow looked between Tara and the canvas.


“So I can do whatever I want?”


Tara picked up the purple paint, squirted some in her hands and flung it at Willow.


“Yup.”


Willow stumbled back a bit and looked down at herself in shock, then looked up again and immediately grinned. She ran to the canvas and pressed herself into it, then rolled along it, giggling.


Tara squirted some paint right onto the canvas and they spread it all in various directions and with various in-reach body parts. They rubbed against each other to mix and went back again, laughing the whole time and made a game of not using their hands to make it more interesting.


It could have looked like something a kindergartner might produce, but there was a certain synchronicity and flow of the paint that made it appealing to look at and find patterns in.


They were both splattered in paint and panting, out of breath as they stood back to admire it. They were giggling and glancing at each other as they caught their breath with glances growing longer and cheeks turning redder despite being still.


Tara’s eyes fell to that stretch of skin between Willow’s shirt and pants, which was now shining lightly with sweat. She bit the corner of her lip softly and released it, then grabbed Willow and started kissing her.


Willow tumbled to the ground and brought Tara with her, pulling her face in closer and slipping her tongue past Tara’s teeth into her mouth. Their hands were in each other’s hair and sliding down each other’s backs, grabbing and fondling wherever they touched.


Tara’s hand slipped under Willow’s waistband to rub her hipbone, then started to dip lower. Willow grabbed Tara’s wrist and paused the kiss, though with her lips still touching Tara’s.


“The paint.”


Tara held up her hand unsurely and turned it around to look at the dried paint stained on her skin.


“It’s non-toxic?”


Willow grinned, then joined her hand with Tara’s and shoved it into her pants. She pulled the strings on Tara’s sweats free and moved her hand under the fabric, pulling Tara’s panties to one side.


They caressed each other for a bit, building their excitement through petting and kissing, but didn’t dawdle. They both knew it was a quickie. They rubbed each other’s clits with their kissing broken every so often to accommodate panting.


The colours of the room spun around Willow and mixed in with the ones flashing behind her eyes. The thrill of the moment was hugely arousing and it didn’t take long for it all crash together into one big, long firework.


Tara buried her head into Willow’s neck as she came, and hung on the few extra seconds it took for Willow to release too. They both relaxed, but stayed like that for several moments.


Tara fell onto her back and took in some slow breaths while her cheeks calmed. After a minute or so, she pushed up into sitting and began to retie her sweatpants strings.


Willow watched her from behind, but didn’t move.


“So that’s it, huh?” she asked with mock disdain, “Have your way with me and leave me on the floor. I’m just your art room hussy.”


Tara grinned over her shoulder and scooted her butt down a tad before lying back down.


“You wanna snuggle on the plastic?” she asked, rolling towards Willow and making the tarp crackle, “Because I will be the best plastic snuggler you ever had.”


“Thems fighting words,” Willow replied, adding her own rocking into the mix so they were making their own rustling harmonies, “Show me what you got.”


Tara manoeuvred one leg between Willow’s and scooted in so their hips were pressed against each other. She laid one arm out under Willow’s neck and rubbed her arm with the other hand, letting it slide off to rest on the small of her back. Finally, she rested their foreheads and noses together and nuzzled softly.


Willow smiled.


“A solid 9.8,” she said, eyes glancing down to Tara’s lips, “Knocking .2 points off for taking too long to give me a smooch.”


Tara closed the small gap and let their lips meet in a tender kiss. Willow sucked Tara’s bottom lip into her mouth, then released it and curved a hand around Tara’s hip, through her pants.


“I like sweats sex.”


“It’s always sweaty,” Tara replied, wiping some hair from Willow’s brow.


“Not sweaty, sweats,” Willow corrected with a giggle, “If pants have to be worn, sweats are my preference. Very little restriction. Although there is a sort of pleasure from a nicely aligned jeans seam.”


Tara grinned.


“Sounds like you found your essay subject of choice.”


Willow giggled again and hooked her finger into the collar of Tara’s t-shirt, pulling her in for another kiss.


In the middle of kissing, the doorknob jostled and a tall, redheaded guy walked in. He passed no comment, verbal or physical, on their position or appearance.


“Any filbert brushes in here?”


Tara pointed to a shelf and he went over, rifled through, and found his preferred brush.


“Thanks,” he said, holding the brush up in a gesture of gratitude before leaving again and pulling the door closed behind him.


Willow looked after him, blinking several times.


“Ummm… what just happened?”


Tara just shrugged her outward shoulder.


“Artists.”





Willow came out of the bathroom dressed in pyjama bottoms and a clean tank top, towel drying her hair. She hummed to herself as she sat at the desk to brush it out and smiled at Tara, lying in bed and holding a book up above her head.


“Reading?” she asked as the brush slid through her hair, detangling some small knots on the way.


“Going over some poems for my English Lit final,” Tara replied with a heavy tone, “Final finals…it’s all starting.”


“Tell me about it,” Willow replied, coming over to climb into the other side of the bed, “I nearly had a heart attack in the shower, you know. Paint didn’t all wash off. I looked down and my pussy was green. Thought I had chlamydia or something.”


Tara left her book on her chest as her lips quirked on one side into a smirk.


“Where would you have gotten chlamydia?”


“Well we were about to have a very serious conversation!” Willow replied with a giggle, coming in close to Tara.


Tara turned her head towards Willow.


“Do you mind if I keep the light on? I was gonna look up some poems.”


“It's fine,” Willow replied unconvincingly and with a pout, “I don't need to be snuggled.”


Tara closed the book, left it on her nightstand, and flicked the light off with a grin.


“Vixen.”


She lifted the sheet and moved under properly so her and Willow were cuddling and cupped one of Willow’s breasts lightly. Willow smiled.


“My boob is like your security blanket.”


“You’ve been known to have some nocturnal grabs yourself, missy,” Tara countered with a matching grin, “Do you want me to let go?”


“No way,” Willow replied with a happy sigh, “I love this kind of snuggling.”


“This kind?” Tara questioned, “As in this position?”


“No. Like…post-coital snuggles are different,” Willow explained as she drew gentle circles on the small of Tara’s back, “The relaxing has occurred and the snuggles are a continuation. Here, the snuggles are the source of relaxation, so I appreciate the wonderful nuances in all their glory.”


“I see,” Tara replied, smiling just lightly, “Well I’ll have to put some extra effort in, then.”


Willow shook her head in the darkness.


“Nope, that’s the beauty. It’s a completely natural process, a product of our combining energies. Very scientific, I wouldn’t expect you to understand.”


“Try me,” Tara challenged, intrigued as to how her girlfriend’s mind worked out the mechanics of their cuddling.


Willow started to shift her head on the pillow and moved her arm properly around Tara.


“Well…it starts with fitting our bodies together. It’s a puzzle that we have to get just right. Once that happens, you have to make sure the feet are properly tangled. They’re the anchor, you see. And then comes the catalyst, of course.”


Tara tried not to grin.


“The catalyst?” she asked seriously.


“Yes, the catalyst,” Willow repeated in much the same tone, “The catalyst is the kiss. The goodnight kiss is a very, very important part. It all falls apart without the kiss.”


She tilted Tara’s chin up and kissed her softly, lingering for several sweet seconds.


“Mmm…now this is where the chemical reaction starts. Get a nice big serotonin hit as our bodies settle.”


She pecked Tara again and held her under her chin.


“Everything gets quiet…”


She quietened her voice into a soft whisper.


“And everything slows down…”


Slowly she stilled her body and feet, which were playing with Tara’s, until there was no movement but their inhalations.


“Until all I can hear…”


She took in one deep breath, completely in sync with Tara’s.


“…is us breathing…”


Their breath was coming in evenly.


“And then we just…”


She felt Tara's slump into slumber and her eyes flickered closed to follow.


“…sleep.”

Nice start of the chapter with some Becky-time. I'm glad for her that she is finally in a happy relationship and not scared to show she is in love, although keeping her special humour about it:

Quote:
“It’s nice, isn’t it?” Tara asked, glancing lovingly at Willow.


“It’s disgusting,” Becky replied, throwing her eyes upwards, then smiling, “And wonderful.”
:grin

I kind of have a hunch that they might underestimate Becky's love for surprise parties:

Quote:
“Wow, Jack really is grounding her. She barely pushed the party issue at all.”


...maybe she and Jack will show up at "Marshalls" on the birthday/quiz-night for some spontanous party - if they do I really hope that Willow is in a good mood - hopefully because of having won the quiz. Now that we know the quiz-final happens on Willow's birthday I trust you won't let them lose which would result in a heartbroken Birthday-Girl...

I absolutely loved their funtime in the artroom and it's erotic outcome - :wtkiss :drool big LOL for the artist who totally took the hot lesbian couple on the floor in stride while searching for his brush :grin

Very cute end with our little science nerd Willow explaining the "mechanics" of "non-post-coital" snuggles and yay for one of my favourite quotes from the original series:

Quote:
“It's fine,” Willow replied unconvincingly and with a pout, “I don't need to be snuggled.”


Tara closed the book, left it on her nightstand, and flicked the light off with a grin.


“Vixen.”
:flirt

Now I'm looking forward to Willow's birthday celebrations (which will hopefully contain a victory in the quiz-final).

Hey Laragh :bigwave

Sorry I'm replying so late. Work been crazy busy this week.

I love the opening scene with Tara, Willow and Becky. Their interactions with each other is so much fun to read it reminds me of watching BtVS with Buffy, Xander and Willow hanging out together.

Ya gotta love brainy Willow looking forward to going to a quiz evening for her birthday. Possibly one of the few things that seems just right for her along with a Classic Trek movie marathon or visiting a Harry Potter exhibit.

Becky just shook her head. “She’s a lost cause to books.”

And what's so wrong with that??? Books are cool :)

Red Hot Quizzy Preppers is such a cool punny name for a team and Willow's 'intenso', as Becky would say, attitude towards them is just so much fun.

“Is it another nude portrait? Because I kinda wanted to keep that private.”

Is this something that the girls have done often? Or at least Tara has done of Willow often?

She folded down the waistband as the elasticity had worn a bit and made them loose. That left an inch of exposed skin between it and the hem of her shirt.

Exposed Willow skin, yummy. Drooling ahoy :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool Sorry but Willow does have very sexy skin.

I can see Tara using the method of painting she shares with Willow doint it with JJ to help decorate his room in a fun way.

She lifted the sheet and moved under properly so her and Willow were cuddling and cupped one of Willow’s breasts lightly.

Willow's boobs :) more drools :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool
Sorry Laragh, but it is Willlow and her bare body :wink

I really liked Willow's working out the science of the kisses between herself and Tara.

Another very fun chapter, especially the start with the three girls together. Can't wait to see what happens on Willow's birthday and if she and Tara can beat Red Hot Quizzy Preppers, again awesome name.

Toodles :)
