FIC: The Edge of Silence

[Triscuit7]

Hey Kitties! I’m just here with a round of thanks. You all are the absolute greatest.



Lesbadar

Hey there. Being first is good being The First is kinda boring. Thanks.



hush30

Hey Nan. Was Dani going to leave? I try to listen to the characters – to what they tell me - and well, in my head as I began to write, it really wasn’t clear at first if she would or wouldn’t. But she had the snark-fest on Saturday night, and Jo is kinda wonderful, so it all worked out. Thanks very much.



DaNzS

Hey. Thanks for the great comments.



BFR from Paris

Hey Christine. I am very pleased you’re not kicking my butt (je ne te botterai pas les fesses). That quote you liked (“Only three. Oh,well.”), it owes a half to me and half to Darcy. I’m glad you enjoyed this update. Thanks, sweetie.



elessar007

Hey there. It doesn’t happen all the time with me, but sometimes a thought will come to me and I’ll write it down, and it just resonates within me. The phrase that you quoted

Quote:

---

Eyes that dared her to reject her and yet begged her not to.

---

was one such thought. Sarah hurt Dani physically – she has scars from it – but she also hurt her emotionally and psychologically (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). She’s still recovering from that, but those physical scars compound the emotional and psychological pain. They’re scars but they’re also reminders, little hooks in Dani’s soul, that proclaim to all what Sarah did to her - and don’t forget this – and what she gave Sarah the initial opening to do. Scary. Thanks.



WillowRox

Hey there. Heee! Reading at work will get you into all kinds of trouble; reading this at work well, you’re braver than me. Thanks for reading.



barnabasvamp

Hey BV. Having doubts about Dani, having doubts about Jo and the guys – it’s only logical. New characters on BTVS end up 1) dead or 2) evil. Now I’ve tossed a fox into the hen house, haven’t I? Just remember this is Pens. As for vicarious enjoyment, I’m all for it and I do believe in fair play. Thanks again.



peggy of sunnydale

Hey there. I’m glad you’re enjoying the Jo/Dani relationship. They’re fun to play with and work very well as a mirror for Willow and Tara’s relationship. I couldn’t resist having Willow and Tara listen in. It’s a thing. Thanks.



Puff

Hey there. The thing about Willow and Tara is that they are “real” in our heads. So much of that is due to the acting skills of Aly and Amber. The actresses “connected” and that made Willow and Tara more than just a standard BTVS couple. It’s that word “chemistry”. Aly and Amber took Willow and Tara past the surface, they integrated the little things couples do into their behaviors and interactions. What I’m trying to say is that Willow and Tara “touch”. They’re not the only BTVS couple to do so, but they’re the only ones to make it intimate. What do you do when you love someone and you’ve finished making love? Well, you don’t roll over and snore! You touch. It was only natural to incorporate that into Tara’s character here. She touches Willow’s tummy – because that is what a real lover would do. It’s what Amber did to Aly’s arm in S6’s Seeing Red. They made it real. Thanks again.



funkyasian

Hey Steph. Now who could have warned you … hmmm? Glad you liked it and just a fair warning, you’ll want the gf around for after the next update too…. Thanks.



Insanity

Hey there. Yeah, Jo’s the girl. Thanks for the great comments.



The Inward Sea

Hi there. I’m glad that you had taken adequate precautions. Thanks.



Gimpgirl

Hey Michelle. Wow, new posters keep emerging! I should be sorry that I kept you from eating lunch, but I’m not. Thanks so very much for reading.



Imperfectly Me

Hey Aimee. Girls and horses – it’s a thing for so many of us. I had a lovely (well, she was to me anyway) pony (1970-2002). We hung out a lot together when I was a teen. I rode bareback, usually with just a halter, and never had any real lessons. But I read about horsies all the time and always wanted to ride English and over fences. It never happened. But as I was writing, I realized what Jo was doing was very akin to what I had read ... so the fic got Jo “posting”. Thanks.



singgirl

Hey Bev. Thank you as always for your enthusiasm and great comments.



molsongrrrl

Hey there. Heee. Never fear, there is an abundance of Willow and Tara in the next update. Thanks.



TemperedCynic

Hey TC. Your comment about Dani’s brittleness is very astute. She thinks that she’s strong, and to outward appearances she is, but it doesn’t take much for her to crack. Jo is stronger here, but she hasn’t really been tested. Thanks.



SlayerSydney

Hey there. I’m glad you enjoyed. Thanks for reading.



saphire tear

Hey. Soooo many frustrated Kitties. What have I done? Oh, right …. Thanks.



LeatherQueen

Hey LQ. Dani did get Jo, didn’t she? Yes, yes, yes, yummy indeed. Thanks again.



tkheaven

Hey TK.

Now that could be an interesting competition…. Thanks for reading.



xita

Hey wonderful! WTWTA has all sorts of emotions of its own wrapped up in the touching scene on the stairs, Tara’s disappearance, Willow’s concern, and Tara’s take charge side emerging during the spell. But there are several days between Superstar and WTWTA. Lot of time for lots of things Thanks.



cassiopeia191

Hey. You’re absolutely correct. Jo and Dani don’t quite know what they have: a friendship or a relationship. I think they'll figure it out. Thank you



SilverWingedNemesis

Hey Nickole. I’m glad you like it, thanks.



weathergrrl

Hey. I’ll happily accept your forgivenss. Y’know, other Kittens have commented that this fic is educational and made me worry that I’d given someone ideas. You’re the first to actually mean educational in a non-sex way. Heee. I’ve grown quite fond of Jo myself, but she is a dork. Must mean I like dorks – which is ok. Thanks for reading.



Jennpurr

Hey sweetie. Now I know it’s winter, but rather than melting, why not turn on the AC? I mean you’re in TX, right? BTW it’s great that you liked it. Darcy and I wondered who would mention the “horsie” reference. I’m glad you liked enough to make it your sig. As for what happens to Sarah, well, that’s a long way away. Thanks again.



i dig redheads

Hey. So the fic gave you a bit of a puddle? Thanks for reading and the great comments.



darkmagicwillow

Hey DMW. Yes, Jo and Dani have entirely different concerns about physical love. Dani’s is obvious; she worries that she is no longer attractive. Jo’s is more internal – she’s new at this and has performance anxiety. Thanks sweetie.



Nix42

Hey Nikki. I’m relieved that you didn’t try to read “Edge” at work. That would have been beyond difficult. Anya is a hard character to get a grip on on; she’ll have some more stuff in the near future. I like some of the S5 eps, and yes, even a few from S6, but, overall, I like S4 the best. Wasn’t it freaky when “Superstar” came on the TVs in that food court in Vegas? It was like a sign. BTW it was great to meet you and thanks for reading.

Nikki



The Pineapple Head

Hey Diana. I think with this update I was finally able to put the scene/update of Tara in the closet behind me – writing that scene just took an incredible amount of energy out of me. It was hard to move forward mentally afterwards. Thanks for the great comments.

[Triscuit7]

Hey Kittens. Here's the regular Tuesday update.



Rating: NC-17 Definitely. Have your health emergency supplies handy: water, ice, AC, pillows, girlfriend. Whatever. If you liked the "chair scene", you'll probably like this.



Have fun.



****



Always started as again. The world narrowed to just them, Tara and Willow, loving in a room brightened by morning sun.



Again became once more.



Sensations intensifying as Tara’s mouth ravished her, Willow whimpered – oh god, that felt good!



It never failed to amaze her. She’d never been this vocal with Oz – chatty, yes, but not real big with the moaning and the whimpering and the ….



Tara’s lips closed around her clit and her mouth sucked it hard. Willow could feel Tara’s teeth pressing into the soft folds, their edges potentially sharp. It was not the gentlest kiss Tara had ever given her, but it was what she wanted.



The feeling was so powerful that she took one long breath and held it, her hips straining upwards into her lover’s mouth. More. She wanted more. Her hands wound themselves into Tara’s hair and she pulled – wanting her lover IN her.



Tara’s tongue flicked over her tormented clit.



She expelled her held breath in a low cry. “Ohhhh, fuck!” Tara’s mouth released its grip and she whimpered. Close, she was so close!



But Tara wasn’t ready yet.



Soft kisses, gentle kisses. Tara spread them over her lips. Warm and wet, she ran her tongue along in their wake.



Blood pounding in her ears, Willow urged her lover onward, thrusting her cunt upwards rhythmically.



“Breathe, love.” Tara’s voice, a low murmur, slowly soaked into her brain. Breathe? Yeah. She could do that.



In. Out. In. Out.



Tara’s tongue was broad and flat. A nice simple statement of fact, but oh, the way it made her feel! It stroked up over her clit, bottom to top, and her hips bucked upwards. At the top, it released and gravity drew her hips down. Willow moved to its motion, rocking her hips.



Up. Down. Up. Down.



Long strokes and an easy rhythm – she could follow that.



Willow danced on Tara’s tongue.



Her vision darkened, the bright room disappearing until it was just her and Tara. Her breathing was even but loud and hoarse, yet it seemed she could barely hear it over the blood roaring in her ears. Her being was contracting, all sensation fleeing downwards.



She was going to explode.



Tara knew.



Whether it was some nearly imperceptible shift in Willow’s breathing, a slight tensing of Willow’s thigh muscles, or maybe a minute difference in taste – she didn’t quite know how and certainly didn’t want to analyze it here and now, but she knew that she knew.



She gave Willow’s swollen clit one last slow, long lick – it elt huge. She rearranged her hands, securing herself to Willow and then did what had driven Willow to this point.



She caught her lover’s clit between her lips and sucked it. It was hard and firm; she sucked it and drew it into her mouth. Her teeth pressed into Willow’s soft flesh and she flicked her tongue over the clit.



Willow’s feet pressed flat against her sides as she sucked Willow into her mouth. Her lover’s hips left the bed, drawn upwards by her suction.



Her hands lost their grip in Tara’s hair as her back arched, but still she reached for her. Tara’s mouth connected them, pulling at her.



For a moment she went nearly rigid, crying out: “Tara!” Then, she released. Spasms shook her body as her clit throbbed and pulsed between Tara’s lips, her hips jerking repeatedly.



Tara held on. Flicking Willow’s clit with her tongue, she gave her more, driving her on, past one and into a second orgasm.



Willow’s hands knotted in the sheets and she groaned low in her throat. So good. She arched upwards again.



She could feel the tension begin to leave the legs Willow had wrapped around her. No. Not yet. Tara pressed her mouth into her lover’s cunt, her hardness into Willow’s soft folds, and felt her lover’s response.



“Ohhhhh,” Willow moaned as her body spasmed once more. Her head rolled back and forth.



Three times. Once she might have considered that impossible, but that was before Tara. Tara was draining her and it felt wonderful. And still Tara’s tongue didn’t stop.



Oh god!



Three times…once Tara might have considered that adequate – but not any more. Her lover wasn’t the only competitive person in the room. She could be quite fierce that way herself. But Willow was tiring; it was time to finish this.



She knew all sorts of things about her lover now. For example, Willow loved to have her neck bitten. What about a series of nibbles here?



Her teeth sank into Willow’s soft skin and she nipped and tugged, biting her lover’s clit very gently.



Her eyes opened wide and she heaved upward, as pleasure ripped through her. Her feet lost their purchase on Tara’s sides and she thrashed from side to side.



“Fuck!”



Earlier this past week it had been necessary for Tara to coax her love into saying that word. That hadn’t been true this morning. Had it been possible, Tara would have grinned. Instead she held on as number four wracked her lover’s beautiful body. Willow’s juices had slicked her cunt and were trickling over her buttocks. Holding her was becoming increasingly difficult.



She softened her mouth, still sucking, but no longer nibbling, and eased her down to the bed. Her hands continued to cradle Willow’s slender hips as she returned to simply tonguing her lover’s cunt. Each pass of her tongue over Willow’s clit seemed to bring forth another slight spasm from legs gone nearly limp.



Nearly limp did not mean finished.



She wanted to be sure Willow was completely finished. She tightened her mouth around Willow’s clit and heard the slight gasp as Willow realized there was more to come.



Tara’s voracious mouth had her again and Willow rocked upward. This was impossible! She had no clue where she was finding the energy, but but Tara wanted her still and that was enough.



Tara held Willow’s clit between her lips and tongued it. Two or three broad flat quick strokes of her tongue were followed by a long slow suck. And repeat as necessary.



Her back arched again and she trembled, her breath coming in short gasps and sobs as Tara’s tongue worked her. She hissed as her clit was sucked.



She could feel her lover’s excitement rising again. Willow’s clit was thick, swollen, and so very sensitive. Her lips were engorged too, leaving her cunt open. Soon, she’d come again. Tara released her hold; rubbing her face in her lover’s cunt, she licked her entire slit. Once, twice, three times.



Willow quivered, ready.



And Tara drew her in again. Her mouth worked over the rigid shaft of Willow’s clit. She licked it one last time and then carefully scraped her teeth over the sensitive flesh.



She exploded. Her body whip-sawed once as she screamed.



“Tara!”



One moment she was as tight as drawn bowstring, and now Willow thrummed. Tara licked her tormented piece of flesh and felt it pulse beneath her tongue.



“Ah, ah, ah,” Willow grunted as a fifth orgasm rolled through her like a series of ocean breakers on a beach.



Tara pressed her tongue against Willow’s clit and just held it there, luxuriating in the sensations.



Slowly she relaxed, aware of her lover’s tongue resting “there”, but too far gone to do anything. It just felt good.



It made her feel like she was loved.



As Willow drifted into a doze, Tara lifted her head. She licked her lips, tasting Willow on them. Her eyes checked the clock automatically. Not quite 8am. Good. She’d set the alarm last night for 9.



Carefully she inched upward and pillowed her head on her lover’s tummy. They had time for a nap before showers and classes.



She yawned. Willow in the morning - there was no better way to start the day.



****



It was too rushed to have been planned: one couple coming out, the other going in. Jo paused at Dani’s side, her eyes on the other two women. They must have heard. There was no way they couldn’t have. She could feel her face start to heat and she stepped forward, intending to go around.



Her red hair damp from the shower, a wicked smile playing over her lips, Willow took a partial step to the side.



It blocked her passage, and Dani stopped, uncertain.



Whatever words would be spoken, she supposed she deserved them – for her teasing of Tara just a week ago if for nothing else. And she supposed there was plenty else.



Tara’s gaze dropped to the floor and rose. The blonde glanced at her, at Dani, and her lips twitched.



“Hey.” Willow’s greeting was her standard one, despite the mischief on her face. But then Willow wasn’t really going to be the problem.



“Hi,” Jo replied. Dani gave a terse, but not unfriendly nod.



“G-Good Morning?” The soft inflection in Tara’s voice made the simple greeting a question.



Oh lord. Jo fidgeted nervously for a moment. What to say? Yes, thank you; how about you? A simple yes? Uh-huh? Or perhaps uh-huh-uh-huh-uh-huh?



She settled for a nod and a smile, albeit a pinched smile on a blushing face and a somewhat jerky nod.



Tara’s twitching lips settled into a slightly lopsided grin. “It s-sounded like it w-was a good morning.”



“Oh.” Dani’s eyes widened as she realized some of what was going on.



Willow giggled. Surprisingly, that helped.



“Well, yeah. It was,” Jo admitted with a sheepish grin.



“Uh-huh. Three times g-good.” Tara’s eyes challenged her just a little.



“Yes,” she acknowledged, with a sidelong glance at Dani, who was definitely looking a bit smug.



“Yay, you.” Willow gave her arm a little punch



Jo grinned more broadly. She edged forward, thinking that was that, but the redheaded witch didn’t move. Her eyebrows lifted in confusion.



Willow’s nostrils flared in seeming anticipation. “So the next time we order pizza, you’ll be getting one with artichokes?”



Oh damn. She stood as stunned as Tara had last Monday.



“I don’t know about on pizza, but artichokes are good eating.” Dani entered the conversation without having read the manual. “Time-consuming, but good.”



“Yes, but sometimes good things t-take time. Artichokes have to be eaten petal by petal and are best dipped in garlic butter. I l-like licking the juices off.” Tara’s blue eyes held Dani’s brown ones.



“Oh.”



The brown haired girl grinned suddenly and Jo’s heart plummeted to her stomach – her girlfriend had clued in. All she could do now was watch as the conversation spiraled out of her control.



Dani nodded. “The juices are the best thing about artichokes, but I prefer mangoes. After peeling a nice ripe one, just cut out a wedge and run your tongue down the slit. You can lick up a lot of juice that way. The ripe ones are the juiciest, of course.”



“That sounds like f-fun.” Tara’s eyes gleamed and she glanced at her lover, who had suddenly found the floor of great interest.



“It is. I recommend it, but make sure it’s a ripe one.” Dani glanced at her, and Jo shivered. She’d been very juicy. Dani hadn’t even come close to licking her dry, but she was ready – they were both ready – to give it another try.



Given the opportunity – which was going to be soon, if they didn’t shower and get to class ….



“Jo.” Willow interrupted her thoughts. “Are you free this afternoon?”



“Um, I think so, yeah – why?” A bit distracted by thoughts of skipping class, going back to bed, and making love, she suddenly realized she might have just agreed to something else entirely.



“I have class. Would you mind going with Tara to Health Services?” The green eyes shot a sharp look at Tara, whose chin lifted.



“I said I’d go.” The blonde’s voice was firm and unequivocal.



“I know, but it would be better if someone went with you. For company, y’know? I can’t, and Buffy can’t, and you don’t know Xander well enough, and yeah, there’s Anya, but neither she nor Xander are students, so that ….”



Tara continued to give Willow what Jo could only describe as “the hairy eyeball”. Clearly, the blonde was not happy. Well, it was Tara, and Tara was worth the sacrifice. And maybe her agreement could take the heat off Willow.



“Sure, I’ll go. Glad to, actually.” Jo looked over at Dani. “Wanna come?” The words slipped out automatically, before she realized Dani might take them the wrong way. She kicked herself mentally.



“You’re such a romantic,” Dani teased, and then nodded. “Yeah, I’ll be there. I should check in with my them anyway – let them know I’m doing okay.”



Tara sighed, her lips puffing out with the force of the exhalation. She nodded once. “Willow and I have a l-lunch thing, a picnic, w-with Buffy and some other people. W-We can go after that. Maybe 1:15? That w-way you w-w-won’t lose your afternoon.”



“’K, then,” Jo replied. “It’s a date. Now – it’s shower time …?” She lifted her eyebrows questioningly at Willow, who abruptly realized she was still blocking their path and stepped aside with a smile.



“Oh – right. See ya, then. And thanks.”



Jo thought Willow sounded pleased as she entered the women’s restroom, Dani following her closely.



Tara, on the other hand … obviously wasn’t pleased at all.



She glanced at Dani, suddenly grateful. Her girlfriend was also snarky as hell sometimes, but at least she was predictable.



Jo had no idea why Tara seemed so reluctant to go to Health Services. She just was. The blonde was quiet and deep, full of secrets and moods. She was a difficult person to get to know – well worth the effort, but still difficult. They’d roomed side by side for over six months, and Jo felt that she’d barely scratched the surface.



“I think we should take separate showers.” Dani interrupted the flow of her thoughts. “’Cause otherwise we’re gonna run out of time.”



“Yeah, I suppose so,” Jo sighed. They would have had enough time – okay, might have had enough time – if not for the encounter with Willow and Tara. She glanced down the row to the shower they’d used with Tara yesterday. “Maybe later …?”



“Only maybe?”



“Definitely?” Jo revised her offer.



“Yes, I think so.” Dani glanced around the nearly empty room before she shucked off her t-shirt. Her scars seemed brighter under the fluorescents. She stepped into one of the regular stalls and turned toward her. “I’ll want you to wash my back.”



Jo grinned and stripped out of her own shirt. “I want to wash more than that.” She stepped into the stall next door.



Dani had turned on the water, but it didn’t muffle her reply. “Goodie.”



(edited because I'm an idiot and didn't realize Darcy hadn't finished the beta on everything that I wrote. Let's just say she got a wee bit snarky and leave it at that.)

Wow. Um wow. Thank you for the update Triscuit I really enjoyed it and yes I was a big fan of a previous chair update as well I am glad that Willow and Tara got a chance to tease Jo and Dani as well, although I see Dani can take care of herself.

I like what you sais about making Willow and Tara real with the touches, you certainly manage that in your fic. Thank you again for this wonderful story.

Five? That's just downright mean! Willow won't be able to walk or sit comfortably all day, I'm thinking. Not that she's complaining, mind you.



Artichokes and garlic butter. Ripe mangoes. Food is just too erotic, judging from Willow and Jo's reactions to Tara's and Dani's verbal performance. I'm hoping Willow and Jo can compare subtextual hallway notes next time. Good fun, Triscuit!

[elessar007]

The verbal sparring between Tara and Jo is quite amusing. It seems as if the level of acceptance one has with their sexuality is directly proportional to the shade of red their respective cheeks turn when being teased. The way you've written the dialogue makes it clear that it is good-natured teasing and not malicious taunting. That way no one gets hurt.



Tara's competitive side coming out so fiercely...poor Willow.

However will she top Tara's ministrations?



Thanks for another great update.

I finally finished the last couple of chapters (not easy when you have a two year old and a nosey brother-in-law wandering around). They were, of course, wonderful (the chapters, not the brother-in-law).



This line in particular hit home for me:

---

This way, with you covered, she still holds you. You’re still hers

I understand how a past love or experience can have a profound effect on the way you view life (and sex). Good on Jo for teaching Dani that she's still beautiful and doesn't need to hide.



And 5 times! I felt sore after only reading about it. Gross I know ...but true.

[shuyaku]

You know, I've seen it written about a hundred times (and I nod in silent affirmation every single time) - DO NOT READ THESE UPDATES AT WORK



I mean hello... how do you explain your face being as red as Willow's hair when your boss walks up to your desk 10 minutes before quittin' time? Um... it's really hot in here - it's 70 degrees outside, the air conditioner is on practically full blast and I've got my jacket on. I don't think that will work



Although, my gf didn't know what hit her when I got home



I guess I could have just said, GREAT update!

[daydreamer]

Wow.... Um... Yeah... Wow....

[xita]

Wow mel, that was some update. 5, lovely to see Tara being competitive. I think this may be my favorite update since Tara knelt above Willow .



Something about the way you write intimacy that really puts you in the moment. The way willow keeps saying it's good, those little things that make it real.

The Edge of Silence has got to be one of my fave fics... so kudos to you,Triscuit7. You're an amazing writer and storyteller. and my golly your smut writing abilities are perfection. Keep up the good work and I look forward for another fabulous update.

Mel, you may have a touch of pyrophobia, but you've got no problem with turning the heat up, and oh boy, its getting hot in here.



I think this deserves one of those thuddy emoticons

This fic is definitely one of my favorites. The whole relationship with Dani and Jo that has developed has made me want to read it more....of course along with the W/T storyline. Defiitely thud worthy...here ya go

How embarassed am I right now! I haven't left feedback in a couple of updates and I can still only come up with... Sheesh!! Hot stuff, girlie!! I get a huge kick out of Jo too. What a wild ride this all must be for a midwestern girl, but she just hangs on and has a good time with it all. I especially loved her observations on Tara. Thanks for sharing this terrific story!!

Damn, is it normal to feel physically exhausted after that last update? That was absolutely breathtaking Mel. Poor Willow, I was shocked to see she was able to get up and walk to the showers after that. Hell, I was having a hard time walking myself.

And Tara, did I mention she’s a goddess? Damn that girl had no mercy. Bless her heart. This had to be a record, right?



Jo and Dani can apparently hold their own against Willow and Tara’s teasing. I’m so proud . I wish I can manage to say more, but I’m still trying to recover.

I’m here. I’m here.



And two awesome updates waiting for me…



Just for me, right?



Smut coma here I come again … err



Mel, these were great. I like how you’ve explored Jo’s acceptance of Dani. She didn’t try to be all sympathetic, but more understanding and supportive. And three times? Loved that. Especially with Willow and Tara listening next door. Maybe they should teach them that silence spell.



Then five times? This has been a hell of story for these two. Gotta love that. It was fun in the bathroom when the four met up. I love Tara in this.



Thanks Mel.
