Fic: [AU] Racing The Rain (UPDTED: 4/03/18)

[Finey_McFine]

BeMyDeputy:
Yay Dibs!!

I loved the costumes; very nice choice

Thanks! It took some time to come up with a viable option. I had a list that I added to for about a month, then one night I was watching Ironman and remembered Robert Downey Jr. stared in Chaplin and then thought of the Girls vs. Suites ep of HIMYM and viola! There it was.

The bathroom issue was never addressed.

Ahhh yes…sorry! It was actually just some unfounded nervous Willowbabble, but I did in fact intend to come back to it and I just…forgot! Lol

I liked Tara casually talking about knowing famous people, it's fairly realistic from what I know.

Thanks! I’m glad it worked!! One of my best friends that married the daughter of a fairly famous actor and he also owns a management co. He is always telling me ridiculous celebrity stories, so I kinda pulled form some of those.

Ah, the money issue. Not exactly a comfortable one.

Nope, and it will rise again fairly soon!

Interesting word choice, as I'm prone to use the more generic "sex" or (or "fuck") when talking to someone to whom I have not declared my love. (Okay, technically, I personally never use the phrase "make love" when I am the subject of the verb, but you get my drift.)

Ok, how do I explain this…yes, you’ve spent WAY too much time thinking about it! LOL But seriously, I do see what you’re getting at. Willow is in love with Tara, she may not have declared that love as of yet, but it’s there. So, saying, ‘let’s fuck,’ would have been inappropriate and saying, ‘let’s have sex,’ would have sounded cheap to her. Well, at least it would have for my version of Willow. To be honest, we really didn’t get enough dialog between the two of them in intimate settings to know what they may have said. In fact, in NMR, Willow never says what she’s going to do to ‘make it up’ to Tara…it’s just implied. So, who knows? Willow has that air of sweet nerdy awkwardness and I believe that it’s entirely possible that she used that phrase. Or…I’m just a dorky romantic and it worked for me:)

BTW…Stop! You’re making me think too much! lol

Thanks for the feedback!!!


zampsa19752001:
I’m glad you liked the outfits! It was fun thinking up different ones that would work. Not to worry, nothing bad will come of the ‘Midler Incident,’ except that Bette will never forget Willow, lol.

Thanks for the feedback!

Promthea128:
Nope, no bad cliffhangers! Enjoy the next chapter:)

Thanks for the feedback!

SMGOVAN:

Will tonight be the night? Or, are you being a big ole dirty tease?

Wa ha haaaaa…!! *Twists Mustache* Would I do something like that?

I loved the "Pat" reference and the 'Midler incident' !!.... I love your humor.

What can I say? I’ve been watching Saturday Night Live since grade school and my first comedy record was Richard Pryor, which I had to hide under my mattress because of the R rating…so the humor is ingrained!!

Willow's reply about being "Finey mc .."..shameless self promotion

I don’t know what your talking about…
Thanks as always for the feedback!


Laragh:

I love the first two paragraphs. I know they were really just filler

“I think this line’s mostly filler” Sorry, I couldn’t resist, lol.

Willow as Charlie Chaplin? Priceless!

HIMYM…Girls vs. Suits, lol and a Chaplin was born!

Eek, I see the money issue cogs starting to turn in Willow's brain. I know it's one of those major issues in relationships, but this is one of those situations where she's just gonna have to accept that Tara has money.

I don’t think the full effect has hit her yet, although this swank party was a good indicator of, not only the money issue, but the crowd that Tara runs with as well. I mean, we’re talking A-List celeb and A-list moola!

Now, I've never kissed a boy, so I have no actual experience to go from here, but to quote/slightly paraphrase Portia De Rossi, “I don't know how those straight ladies do it.” I mean, beard burn, seriously.

Hahahahaha…I have this conversation with my straight bf ALL the time! I’m with ya sister!

Thanks the feedback!!!


wayland:

That was a great chapter. I smiled the whole way through it.

THANKS!!! It really was fun to write and probably everyone’s secret fantasy.

The Charlie Chaplin costume was a master stroke. A chance for Willow to experience full-on celebrity glitz without finding the paparazzi camped on her doorstep next morning.

It also works as a way to ease Willow into Tara’s world. It’s been Tara’s way of life forever, to her al the glitz and glamour is ‘normal.’ Willow is not a stranger to being photographed or attending events, but the world of college sports vs. A-List celeb…very different. Also…Willow is used to being comfortable, ie: Sweats & a T, where this world she is going to have to eventually have to make some consessions. Something she’s REALLY going to have to embrace at some point, lol.

I love the way Willow is so unself-consciously star-struck.

Hahaha…I love Willow. She’s adorable with her little quirks. She basically thought that she didn’t care, after all she didn’t even recognize Tara when they first met, but she is finding that it really IS a big deal.

As always…thanks for the feedback!


beautiful love:

And I'm totally able to picture Tara as this huge celebrity. I didn't know how you were going to pull that off but you have done a great job. Can't wait for more.

Hey, thanks! I really appreciate that!!


Thanks for the feedback!


Ariel:

How can anyone not like the Divine Miss M?

It’s a mystery to me! Although, during the holidays when I play ‘Cool Yule,’ my assistant rolls her eyes a lot, but fortunately, there is nothing she can do about it. That’s why it’s good to be the boss!

Shameless self-promotion

*coughs* What?

Here’s a tribute to your great writing and our love for Tara. How do I know that Brad and Angelina are on the up-and-up? Because Tara (and Shel) told me so!!! Seriously, I believe you!

Well, that’s what I’d like to believe is true, lol.

Thanks as always for the feedback!!!


LonleyTara:
THANKS!!!!!! More to come!!


Thanks for the feedback!!


Wimpy0729:

I like how they were able to talk about how they were okay with it being that way for now.

The reality is that, even though they would like to be out, it’s going to wreak havoc on their lives in many ways. So, they are actually ok with being in right now and easing themselves and those close to them out. As all of us know…coming out is a process. Although they are out to many people, being out to the world is entirely different.

I also loved how Tara introduced her as Will to some, and "my girlfriend, Willow" to the people she knew she could obviously trust (AKA Brad and Angie -- too funny).

LOL – I kinda felt like if W/T could be honest with anyone, it would be these two. I mean, with all the crap they have to put up with, they are the last people on earth that should be giving up other people’s secretes. Plus, it really shows just how high on the A-List Tara really is if she is going to dinner with Brad & Angie!

And now we see the money thing a bit, and I really hope they can not let this be a huge issue. As long as they trust each other, it's just common sense. Tara has oodles of money and she knows in her heart that Willow isn't with her because of that. Willow will be the one who might feel awkward but I hope they find a way to work through this delicate subject.

Ahhh yes…this seems to have struck a cord and has been mentioned in almost everyone’s feedback of this chapter. Which goes to prove that it’s the #1 point of discord with couples. It will continue to appear through out this story and will effect Willow and Tara differently. It may even cause angst! Lol

But oh, what a lovely cliffhanger. Willow is a whole lot more romantic than most people. It makes me realize that my normal phrase of "Ya wanna make out?" isn't quite up to par.

Hahaha…read my reply to BeMyDeputy, she brought this up as well. I know what your saying I NEVER say it either and tend to say something dopey, lol.

Thanks for the feedback!


nightmask
THANK YOU!!!

bouncer73
THANKS!! I think you’re going to like the next chapter!!


JustSkipIt

Sorry it took a snow day to get me feedbacking this update.

Ah yes, the “snow day” with no snow! At least not over here…just a lot of ice and bored kids.

I love that Willow asked about the ticket and Tara told her that she would need a check for $25,000. I mean, really that's the only way to handle such a huge discrepancy. If it was like $150 you could have Willow trying to figure out how to manage it but $25,000 is like forever of income for a college athlete since they can't work and earn money.

The money situation is especially sucky for Willow, because of her scholarship. It’s one of the drawbacks of college sports, the college makes millions on their superstar athletes and the athletes get zip. Willow can’t make more than $2500/year and because softball runs into the summer…there’s no time to work if she wanted to. She has to rely on her parents and budget her school money carefully. So, yes the wheels are turning.

Re: Brad & Angelina. I was at the movies with my sister one day and we saw a ad for an Angelina movie and my sister was like, "I would never see that because she's a terrible, person. Just terrible. Homewrecker. Horrible." And I was sort of 1. How can you be so appalled at something that sort of has nothing to do with you and 2. How do you know the details of their relationship? I mean... whatever, you know. I like them because 1. they're hot and 2. they support gay rights and 3 they support gay marriage rights and 4. they're very outspoken attachment parents. So yay for Brangelina.

I am certainly not the authority on ‘Brangelina, but I do like them for the same reasons you do. I mean, six kids?? Any couple that can have that many kids and make it work, must be doing something right. I recently read that they won’t get married until gay marriage is legal, so yes…YAY Brangelina!!

Thanks for the feedback!!!


love2003

Wondering why I haven't read it until now.

Yeah, why haven’t you?!?!?!?! Lol I’m glad you like it and thanks for reading!! I hope you enjoy the next chapter:)

******************************************************************************


Chapter 18: Under the Moonlight NC-17

“You’re sure?” The blonde panted.

Willow nodded again, gathering her thoughts and whispering huskily, “I want you Tara, more than I’ve ever wanted anyone or anything in my entire life. I’m done planning and thinking. Baby, you’re so beautiful and I…I want to make love to you all night.”

“I think that can be arranged,” Tara peered at Willow through half lidded eyes, as she took her hand and led her towards the bedroom.

*******************************

They snaked their way through the house, but didn’t quite make it to the bedroom as Willow spun Tara around, pulling her close and bringing their lips together in a long passionate kiss. Tara felt her knees giving out under the searing intensity of Willow’s tongue, ravishing her mouth. Willow sensed her weakness and began walking Tara backwards until her back hit the wall with a thud, jarring the painting that hung next to them. Neither girl seemed to notice as the fervid kissing continued.

Tara’s desire surged hot and uncontrolled inside her and she moaned as Willow thrust a muscled thigh against her dripping center. Tara ground herself against Willow, wrapping a leg around Willow to ease the throbbing need inside her. The redhead buried her face in Tara’s neck, savagely nipping and kissing the soft pale skin she found so appetizing.

Upon reaching her ear, Willow whispered, “Hold on tight around my neck.”

Without a word Tara complied and Willow reached down and gripped the luscious curves of Tara’s bottom. She picked her up, holding on tight and walking them the rest of the way to Tara’s bedroom, kicking the door closed behind them.

If Tara was getting heavy, the redhead never noticed. She just kept moving towards the bed, never losing contact with Tara’s lips and feeling Tara’s soft heat smoldering against the muscles of her stomach.

Once Willow’s knees made contact with the bed, she gently laid Tara down, falling forward and covering Tara’s body with her own in the process. Tara brought her hands up between them and began trying to unbutton Willow’s shirt. She fumbled with the buttons for a few seconds; fully distracted by Willow’s tongue that was currently licking its way up her neck and into her ear. Finally Tara gave up on the buttons, tightly grasped both sides of the shirt and ripped it apart; tiny white buttons flew everywhere, eliciting a slight giggle from both women. With the annoying buttons gone, Tara began to slide the shirt over Willow’s shoulders and tossed it onto the floor. Tara reached around to divest the redhead of her bra and noticed that there was none. She decided to take full advantage of the situation, her hands gliding across the smooth, heated skin of Willow’s back.

“Umm, you feel so good Will. Sit up please, I want to see you.” Tara breathed into her ear.

Willow complied and pushed up. She was bare from the waist up, except for the tie that still hung loosely around her neck and fell between her pert rosy breasts. After a few seconds, Tara was missing the contact so she reached up, grasped the tie and pulled Willow back down to her. The redhead felt like she was falling forever into those blue eyes, finally landing on outstretched hands on either side of Tara’s head.

“Oh God! Baby, you are so friggin’ sexy in that tie.”

Willow smiled down at Tara, never breaking eye contact as Tara reverently slid her hands up Willow’s stomach and over her erect nipples, eliciting a deep moan from the enraptured redhead. Willow’s hunger for the blonde was growing, and she began to kiss a trail across Tara’s collarbone and down to her cleavage that was spilling out over the top of her dress. Willow’s breathing was growing faster as she nipped and suckled Tara’s ivory skin. Then Willow felt a surge of intense pleasure as Tara’s hands began greedily kneading her breasts and pinching her nipples. Willow gasped and felt moisture beginning to drip down her thighs as the tension within her was building. She pushed up on her knees again, reaching out to pull Tara up with her. The blonde immediately thrust her head forward and wrapped her lips around Willow’s breast, causing the redhead to cry out in pleasure.

As Tara worked her magic, Willow reached around and began to unzip Tara’s dress. Once the zipper was down, Willow deftly unsnapped Tara’s bra, tossing it aside and pulling the dress down over her shoulders. She gently laid Tara back on to the mattress and slid the dress the rest of the way down Tara’s body, divesting her of her underwear in the process. Willow sat, simply taking in the beauty of her girlfriend’s naked form. She then looked Tara up and down for several seconds, noticing the moist blonde curls that were glistening in the moonlight.

“Goddess, you are stunning,” Willow breathed, as she started to peel off her own pants and underwear, the only clothing left between them. As Willow inched off the bed, standing up to finish undressing, Tara sat up and scooted closer to the beautiful half naked Goddess that stood before her.

“Let me,” she whispered.

Willow simply nodded, allowing Tara to gently slip the clothing over her slender hips and down to the floor. Leaving her with just the tie, still wrapped loosely around her neck. Tara reached her hands up and began to run them down Willow’s sides. She gripped her girlfriend’s hips, pulling her forward, planting light kisses on Willow’s stomach and slowing running her tongue around her navel. Willow moaned as she tangled her fingers through Tara’s hair. The blonde nuzzled her cheek against Willow’s stomach, trembling, as she wrapped her arms around the redhead’s waist, hugging her close.

“Tare? Are you ok?” Willow whispered.

Tara looked up at Willow through misty blue eyes, “You’re so beautiful. Do you know that?”

Willow’s heart swelled with emotion as she laid down beside Tara, stretching out as the full length of Tara’s naked body lightly pressed against her own. Willow smiled, meeting her eyes and cupping Tara’s cheeks. They kissed feverishly for several minutes before the blonde resumed her southward trek, slowly making her way lower and lower until she could feel the auburn curls lightly brush her chin. She inhaled deeply, fully taking in her lover’s sweet scent, before kissing her way back to the eager lips that awaited her. As their lips connected, Tara could feel the warmth spread throughout her body and settle between her legs. She pulled Willow closer and could feel her erect nipples brush against the redhead’s chest. Tara shivered and arched forward as Willow lowered herself and wrapped her lips around the needy flesh. Tara moaned in pleasure and tightened her grip on Willow’s head. Willow continued to pleasure both breasts, before kissing her way back up to Tara’s waiting lips.

As their kiss deepened, Willow’s hands wandered as if she had no control over them, blazing a fiery path downward until she felt Tara’s warm, wet curls for the first time. The abundant moisture that had pooled there allowed Willow’s fingers to slip effortlessly between Tara’s legs and into the softness, easily finding Tara’s warm center. As she began to tenderly caress her lover, she felt Tara’s hand slide down her own body, causing Willow’s legs to involuntarily spread, as Tara’s hand began an exploration of its own.

As the tension in Tara began to build, Willow curled two fingers and slipped inside. Tara’s breath caught slightly at the unexpected pleasure as she began to rock her hips against her girlfriend. Willow moaned as she felt Tara’s muscles expand and contract, squeezing her fingers and holding them tight. To Willow, it was the most exquisite feeling in the world. The redhead’s thumb began to glide softly across Tara’s most sensitive spot as they rolled their hips in rhythm against each other.

As they edged ever closer to the precipice, Tara could feel Willow start to tremble. As she added a third finger, she opened her eyes, only to find her lover’s dark green, smoldering eyes already locked on her.

“Together,” Willow panted.

“Yes,” Tara breathed, “Almost there.”

The room was drenched in moonlight, which shone through the clear glass of the sliding doors. The cold blue light cascaded over the light sheen of sweat that covered their bodies, illuminating their skin, as they grunted and arched themselves towards one another in a relentless quest for release. Tara watched as Willow’s shaking became more intense and held her tightly as Willow’s orgasm rocketed through her in wave after delicious wave. Tara’s senses went into overdrive and seconds later her own body was hit with a torrent of pleasure as she screamed into the darkness of the night.

As their breathing slowed, Tara smoothed back the sweat soaked hair that clung to Willow’s cheek. The entire experience had been intense and exhausting. Tara had given herself freely to Willow: mind, body and soul. She had allowed herself to be taken to a place she’d never been before, to a world of trust and acceptance. She felt whole, for the first time in her life.

Willow’s heart swelled with emotion, as Tara brushed the hair from her face. She rested, still on her side and stared deeply into the beautiful blue eyes that she’d come to know so well. She leaned forward and kissed Tara, trying to calm her heart under the storm of emotions that pressed for release. She desperately wanted to give in and say what she was feeling, but was afraid of saying too much. So she simply kissed Tara, hoping that one kiss would say all the things that she couldn’t.

When their kiss finally ended, Tara leaned forward and pulled the blanket over them. She opened her arms and pulled Willow close, snuggling the redhead to her chest. They were both exhausted and soon fell into a deep and satisfied sleep.

*****************

Willow awoke several hours later to find herself in the same position, still pressed to Tara’s chest in the wee hours of the morning. The room was dark and the moon bright as she nuzzled Tara’s breast with her cheek. Willow was awake and reveling in the warmth of her lover’s body. She felt complete, happy and loved. She laid there for a long time, just listening to the steady sounds of Tara’s breathing and the muffled thud of the heart beating against her. She shifted again and felt Tara’s grip tighten as the blonde placed a kiss on the top of her head.

“Hey,” Willow whispered, absently tracing circles around Tara’s belly button.

“Hey, are you ok? Have you been awake very long?” Tara asked her lover.

“I’m perfect and yeah, for about twenty minutes. Are you…ok?”

“More than ok.” Tara breathed, aimlessly rubbing Willow’s back.

Willow giggled and began to brush her hand up and down Tara’s chest, circling her breasts. She pushed up on her elbow and kissed her girlfriend deeply, gliding her tongue across the plump red lips. Tara’s arms wrapped around Willow’s neck as the redhead threw her leg over Tara’s waist and pushed up, straddling her blonde Goddess.

“Ummm Will…” Tara muttered, as Willow kissed across her jaw line and down her neck.

“I want to taste. Every. Single. Inch. Of. You.” Willow breathed, punctuating each word with a kiss on the soft skin on Tara’s neck.

Tara felt as if she were on fire, Willow’s hands and mouth were everywhere. She tangled her fingers in the red tresses as Willow descended, stopping to give Tara’s breasts extra attention. As Willow lifted up and began to crawl backwards, Tara could feel the wetness on her lower abdomen, left behind by her lover. She ran her fingers through Willow’s essence, and then brought them to her mouth for a taste of her own. That simple gesture turned Willow on more than she ever imagined possible. Willow placed a hand on each of Tara’s thighs, she spread them further apart and opened the blonde up fully.

“Wait,” Tara whispered, just as Willow had begun her descent towards Tara’s center. The redhead stopped momentarily to make eye contact with her girlfriend, “I want to taste you too.”

“Hmm, I think you just did,” Willow said with a cheeky grin.

“Come up here,” Tara requested.

Willow easily complied and was rewarded with a long, passionate kiss.

“Turn around,” Tara asked, although it was more of a soft demand. For a few brief seconds, Willow was a little confused at the request. Then it dawned on her the nature of Tara’s proposal and she happily complied.

Willow kissed Tara again and grinned. She turned, scooting back and positioning her body on top of Tara’s. Willow felt Tara’s hands slide up the backs of her thighs, gently kneading and spreading them fully. She could feel Tara’s hot breath brush across her center. It was the most sensual and erotic thing Willow had ever felt, and she literally ached with desire.

They melted together, deeply kissing: lips to lips, each drinking in the other and reveling in the intense pleasure of this most intimate connection. It wasn’t long before they both came together, screaming into each other as the intense pleasure overwhelmed them.

Willow could no longer support her own body weight, as her shaking legs instantly turned to jelly and she collapsed next to her lover. They were still at opposite ends of the bed, panting and trembling as they enjoyed the after effects of their energetic lovemaking.

“Willow, that was…” Tara panted.

“Uh huh,” the redhead breathlessly replied, “Incredible, wonderful…amazing.”

“Umhmm, times a thousand. So, are you gonna stay down there all night?”

“Maybe,” Willow said as she nuzzled Tara’s calf and kissed her ankle, “Ummm, ankles...”

The tickling sensation of Willow’s tongue elicited a giggle from the blonde, “You’re a goof,” Tara said, as Willow turned back to the head of the bed.

Willow settled in next to Tara, snuggling close and becoming lost in the blue eyes, “Baby, you look sleepy.”

Tara nodded her head, as Willow’s hand swirled through her blonde hair, “I am, but I don’t want to sleep.”

“Why?”

“Because I never want this night to end,” Tara breathed as she rolled toward Willow and captured her lips again.

[zampsa19752001]

Dibs-y goodness...

Yay for excellent update-y goodness... I really liked their sweet lovemaking...

[Grimm]

You are a Goddess..Nuff said.

[Promthea128]

“Umhmm, times a thousand. So, are you gonna stay down there all night?”

“Maybe,” Willow said as she nuzzled Tara’s calf and kissed her ankle, “Ummm, ankles...”

The tickling sensation of Willow’s tongue elicited a giggle from the blonde, “You’re a goof,” Tara said, as Willow turned back to the head of the bed.

Willow settled in next to Tara, snuggling close and becoming lost in the blue eyes, “Baby, you look sleepy.”

Tara nodded her head, as Willow’s hand swirled through her blonde hair, “I am, but I don’t want to sleep.”

“Why?”

“Because I never want this night to end,” Tara breathed as she rolled toward Willow and captured her lips again.

That was giggles and aww. The rest of the update was

[Ariel]

Shel,

First, thank you for that incredibly kind credit.

Second, you are a total liar because you had a completed first draft before we even started working! But it was great to have the opportunity to contribute something to your incredible writing. Also, you took what we did and raised the bar even higher on your own. May I say Ooooooooooh! (Awed gasp!) at the final product!

You have beautifully and powerfully communicated both passion and deep love in this scene. In addition, you create enough detail for the imagination without losing the mood by drawing a diagram.

I can honestly say that I follow this story for two reasons; the joy of a delightful love story and the opportunity to learn from your writing skill.

Thank you for both!

Ariel

[Laragh]

RATING: NC-17 (FINALLY!!!)

*settles in for some fun reading*

First off, congrats on your first smut scene, I know it can be super intimidating and kinda embarrassing lol.

Wonderful descriptive passages in this. Just the perfect balance of vivid imagery without feeling like you're reading a how-to manual for lesbian sex lol.

I particularly enjoyed the tie imagery hehe

And I loved that during the actual lovemaking you showed Tara's reaction to Willow's reactions and vice versa. Did that make sense? I just liked how it was always about being together and not just the physical sensations.

Oh and might I just add to all of that...

[nightmask]

-falls off couch- dammmmmmnnnnn that was really HOT I think this is my favorite chapter so far! [: woo and hoo for NC17!!!!!

[deviantART]

So sorry i didn't feedback for the last chap !
it was *glup* a *gulp* very *gulp* nice *gulp* update !
Really love it !
Can't wait to read more !
thank you

[LonelyTara]

I love that, even with the passion, there is still that aching, innocent sweetness between them.

[bouncer73]

That was HOT...I think I gotta read it again....be right back..



Holy smoke that was TOO HOT..wow..I can't even form any thoughts other then that was SOOOO freaking HOT...

[wimpy0729]

Oh my, yes, FINALLY!

That was absolutely perfectly done. It wasn't just reading a sex scene, but we could "feel" everything -- the heat and passion, the actions and reactions, and mostly the love that they were expressing, even if they aren't ready to say it yet. It actually felt like I was right there watching it all unfold, in a totally non-pervy way, of course.

Thank you so much. Simply beautiful. More please.


Wimpy

[beautiful_love]

Wow. Just yeah wow. That's all I can say.

So now that I've picked my jaw up off the floor I have to say you really did write a great scene. You have an amazing talent when it comes to these writing and I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[Savannah]

*grins* *blushes* *fans self*

oh me oh my ... wonderful chapter.

Your story is absolutely addictive!!!

[Silent_X]

I started reading this, got to about the sixth paragraph and my computer decided it needed to restart for no reason. I was quite upset.

Anyway, I think you did a great job balancing the emotional sensations with the physical in this chapter. The sex was yummy but never overpowered the emotional connections being made. I really like the way you describe the progress of their relationship, especially in these last few chapters. It's detailed and well-paced.

“Oh God! Baby, you are so friggin’ sexy in that tie.”

God, I loved the tie. I think the tie, when used correctly, can be one of the sexiest articles of clothing on the planet and its inclusion in this scene made me one happy kitten.

Great chapter and I'm excited to read more.

And slightly off-topic:

Ah yes, the “snow day” with no snow! At least not over here…just a lot of ice and bored kids.

I was somewhat amused by the "snow day". School closed, the news talking about the 'upcoming winter storm', civillians 'advised to stay at home'... and it ended up just being ice, which is no good and no fun. And everyone was so excited. I guess there's always next year.

[vampyregurl73]

Shel,

Well, I'm thinkin' good timing here on my part to make a reply.

My, my, my, my, my.... yes ma'am! I need a cold drink after that.

I do apologize for my lackadaisical manner in replies lately, but like I said this was a good one to reply on.

"The Midler Incident", was a riot and I can only imagine how hot these two would have been as Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford.

You were very poetic in your descriptions, it was very sweet and enjoyable for their first time - your Smut Writers Guild card will be in the mail - lol.

You do realize, it will be expected regularly now don't you, in some form? Now we get to look forward to America's Sweetheart meeting the 'rents, huh? This will be an interesting few upcoming chapters...

So how many do you plan to stretch this night out over? Lol.

Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.

[KnightlyLove]

Oh gosh. So I just read this thing start to finish. I loved how Willow carried Tara - athletic Willow is so sexy hahah.

Oh. Right. Softball-or-something star. Actress. Party. Branjelina? hahhaha.
I love how you made them into superstars, without making it a clusterf**k of over-the-top. You kept their sweet little spirits. Your dialogue is great, and the whole thing is *so* extremely readable. Soo cute Love it.

P.S. The title = inspired.

[KnightlyLove]

P.P.S. Also, I could totally tell where the Morgan (?) thing was going, good foreshadowing!

[Jenga]

wow , loved this story, i hope you continue to update =]

[JustSkipIt]

Sorry for the no fb until now. I loved the update. You made it realistic without making it totally unbelievable. I'll try to add more later if I get time.

[love_2003]

Loved the update!!! Definitely had me blushing. Looking forward to more

Glad you liked it!! More fun to come!!

Thanks for the feedback!


LonelyTara:

I love that, even with the passion, there is still that aching, innocent sweetness between them.

Always! Glad you liked!!

Thanks as always for the feedback!!!


bouncer73:
Hahaha…I hope your thoughts have cleared up!!

Thanks for the feedback!!


Wimpy0729:

That was absolutely perfectly done. It wasn't just reading a sex scene, but we could "feel" everything -- the heat and passion, the actions and reactions, and mostly the love that they were expressing, even if they aren't ready to say it yet.

I’m glad you liked it! Hopefully I didn’t ruin it with the gratuitous sex in the next chapter, lol.


Thanks for the feedback!


beautiful_love

So now that I've picked my jaw up off the floor I have to say you really did write a great scene.

THANK YOU!!!

Savannah
THANKS!! I think you’re going to like the next chapter too!!


Silent_X

I started reading this, got to about the sixth paragraph and my computer decided it needed to restart for no reason. I was quite upset.

Bummer!

I think you did a great job balancing the emotional sensations with the physical in this chapter. The sex was yummy but never overpowered the emotional connections being made. I really like the way you describe the progress of their relationship, especially in these last few chapters. It's detailed and well-paced.

Thanks, it’s what I was going for and I’m glad it came across the way it was supposed to.

God, I loved the tie. I think the tie, when used correctly, can be one of the sexiest articles of clothing on the planet and its inclusion in this scene made me one happy kitten.

Yeah, that part was especially fun to write!

Still off topic: Snow Day Revisited…Last Wednesday after the second ‘arctic blast’ rolled through, I was witness to the lightest of snow flurries and ALL after school activities were immediately canceled, lol.

Thanks for the feedback!!!


Vampyregurl73

You were very poetic in your descriptions, it was very sweet and enjoyable for their first time - your Smut Writers Guild card will be in the mail - lol.

I’ll be on the lookout for it!! I plan on having it laminated and replace my license with it in my wallet.

You do realize, it will be expected regularly now don't you, in some form?

Please see following chapter, lol.

So how many do you plan to stretch this night out over? Lol.

Several, LOL!


KnightlyLove

Oh gosh. So I just read this thing start to finish, and your smuttiness has completely destroyed my ability to recollect any of the rest of the story.

Hahaha…I hope it wasn’t permanent memory loss!

Thanks a bunch for the feedback!!!


Jenga
Thanks so much!

Chapter 19: After The Moon Goes Down

Tara slowly untangled herself from Willow and was attempting to slide from the bed when she felt the redhead grab her arm and pull her backwards.

“Where exactly do you think you’re going?” A groggy Willow mumbled, as she pulled herself closer to Tara.

“Well, if you must know, I have to pee. Really, really badly!” Tara exclaimed, looking at Willow with pleading eyes.

Willow snorted with laughter, “Now that you mention it, I do too, so you better hurry. Wait!” Willow leaned forward and left a lingering kiss on Tara’s lips.

Tara grinned widely leaping from the bed and hurrying to the bathroom. Leaving her sleepy girlfriend sprawled across the deep red sheets. When she returned from the bathroom a few minutes later, Willow was up and pacing the floor with a look of desperation on her face.

“I told you, I gotta go too!”

Tara was amused at her girlfriend’s quirkiness and swatted her on the behind as she sprinted away. Tara walked languidly to the sliding glass doors and stretched. Where the room had once been steeped in darkness and the moon glowed blue, the morning brought the warm golden rays of the sun and the promise of a new day. She opened the door and inhaled deeply, taking in all that the morning had to offer. Everything seemed different today. The sky was bluer, the grass greener and the flowers brighter. She looked up at the trees as they swayed in the crisp fall breeze. Tara noticed how the light rained down through the leaves; they sparkled a brilliant shade of green, which reminded her of Willow’s eyes. She was suddenly flooded with images of the person that those hypnotic eyes belonged to and the night they’d just shared. A small smile graced her lips as she wrapped her arms around her body and began to sway in rhythm with the trees. Tara thought that if she died today, her life would be complete. She stayed that way for several minutes, indulging in the moment. She opened the slider fully, allowing the gentle breeze to cascade through the room, and decided it was time to go wash her face.

Tara knocked lightly on the bathroom door, not wanting to invade Willow’s privacy and waited to be invited in. Opening the door she found Willow standing in front of the mirror, grimacing at her reflection and wiping her face vigorously with a wet washcloth. It looks like we both had the same idea.Tara stood for a moment simply admiring the woman that had stolen her heart. Willow was a complete mess, her hair was tousled and her makeup smeared, but to Tara she was the most beautiful woman in the world. Unable to go any longer without touching her Goddess, Tara slipped in behind Willow and wrapped her in a warm embrace.

“Good morning sweetie,” Tara breathed in Willow’s ear.

Willow closed her eyes and leaned into the embrace, “Mmhmm, morning…you feel so good,” She whispered as Tara planted several small kisses across her bare freckled shoulders.

“I enjoy your nakedness very much,” the blonde gently squeezing Willow and glancing at the mirror, “So, what’s with the frowny face?”

“Well, look at me, I’m a train wreck. My hair is a disaster and the makeup is smeared like, everywhere. Look, there’s even some on you,” pointing at Tara’s face.

“Hmm, you’re still adorable,” Tara winked at Willow’s reflection in the mirror, “It’s what I like to call, the just fucked look.”

Willow spun in Tara’s arms so that they were facing each other and wrapped her arms around Tara’s neck, “Oooh, saucy! I like it!” Willow leaned in and captured Tara’s lips in a searing kiss. Tara’s hands slid down the soft curves of Willow’s back and gripped her bottom, pulling her ever closer as their bodies molded together as one.

“Up.” Tara said, as Willow maneuvered herself onto the granite counter top, resting herself in the space between the two sinks. Noticing that Willow was not quite all the way up, Tara reached behind Willow and shoved several annoying items off to the side. Willow scooted the rest of the way up and pulled Tara between her knees, wrapping her legs around the blonde’s waist. Tara felt Willow’s thighs tightened around her and she groaned, feeling her lovers wet center press against her stomach. They were locked in a fiery kiss, as their tongues battled for supremacy. Tara’s fingers danced down Willow’s sides, her short nails gently scratching the redhead as her hands came to rest on Willows hips.

“I want you Willow, right now.” Tara hissed.

“Yes, now. Right now,” Willow sighed, her breath becoming more ragged by the second, feeling her stomach flip as Tara’s mouth latched on to her supple neck.

Tara’s mouth and tongue were so unavailingly warm and soft as she showered Willow’s body with attention. Willow felt her stomach muscles tense as Tara’s fingers trailed downward; slipping into the slick wetness. Willow’s hips thrust forward, her body making desperate, involuntary pleas to her lover.

“Ugh! Yes baby, right there. Oh God, that feels good.” Willow moaned into Tara’s mouth as she kissed the blonde harder.

Willow broke the hold she had on Tara with her legs, giving the blonde some room as she pulled away from Willow’s lips and slid to her knees. Willow leaned back on her hands, pulling her feet up to rest on the counter top as Tara gently massaged her lover’s inner thighs. Tara glanced up at Willow and their eyes locked. Willow felt shaky and weak under Tara’s lustful gaze, closing her eyes and fighting back her building climax.

Tara squeezed Willow’s thighs and ran her tongue the length of the redhead’s warm, moist center. Willow moaned deeply with the contact and with an out stretched hand, gripped Tara’s head tightly. The blonde wasted no time and quickly found the right place to focus all of her attention. She drank in Willow’s essence with wild abandon and gently slid two fingers inside her lover. Willow’s hips bucked forward as she pressed Tara’s mouth tighter against her throbbing center. Willow’s trembling arm was the only thing holding her in place and it was beginning to give. The shaking caused her hand to slip, which sent several items flying off the counter and into one of the sinks. Neither girl seemed to notice or care as the tension in Willow was building ever tighter. Just when Willow thought she would fully collapse, she thrust her hips forward and cried out as her climax burst from within and spread through her entire body.

Tara continued to lightly tease Willow with her tongue as she removed her fingers from her girlfriend. Willow’s feet slid off the counter and dangled loosely over the side of the counter as she slumped back against the mirror, still panting heavily. Tara finally sat up on her knees and gently caressed the tops of Willow’s thighs as a dreamy smile graced her glistening lips; clearly proud of her accomplishment.

“What are you thinking?” Tara asked the bleary eyed redhead.

“That I need to wipe down your countertop,” Willow panted, as she held a hand out and cupped Tara’s cheek.

Tara laughed softly, taking Willow’s out stretched hand and placing several kisses across her knuckles.

“Is that really what you’re thinking?”

“No,” Willow said, her eyes still locked with Tara’s, “I was thinking, that it’s your turn now.”

“Oh…”

*************

About an hour and a half later, they found themselves still entwined with each other, laid out on the thick Euro-Shag rug that adorned the bathroom floor. Tara was lying on her stomach halfway on top of Willow, with her cheek resting on Willow’s chest. Tara was enjoying the soft touch of her girlfriend fingers, cascading randomly through her hair and across her back.

Tara was happy. There they were, lying in a naked heap on the bathroom floor, and she’d never been happier. She let out a long satisfied sigh and snuggled closer to Willow. How did I ever exist before Willow?

“Tare, are you getting hungry?” Willow whispered.

“Um Hmm and I know you are because I can hear your tummy rumbling. I guess we worked up quite an appetite,” Tara replied; as she began to softly kiss the skin below her.

“Hhmmm…if you keep doing that, we may never eat again.”

“Oh, we’ll eat, it just won’t be filling,” Tara said with a smirk, “But definitely satisfying.”

“Who knew ‘America’s Sweetheart’ was such a little vixen,” Willow grinned.

Tara chuckled and continued to kiss Willow’s creamy freckled chest, “What are you hungry for?” Tara asked.

“Are we still speaking metaphorically? Because in that case…ouch!” Willow exclaimed, as the blonde nipped at her chest, “Well, I guess that answers that question! Vixen.”

Tara groaned and reluctantly peeled herself off of Willow. She stood, offering her girlfriend a hand and pulling Willow to her feet. Willow leaned in for a brief kiss and then turned towards the mirror, picking up the items that she’d knocked into the sink and chuckling to herself, as she placed them back on the countertop. She turned on the warm water, grabbed the soap and began to wash the remaining makeup from her face. Tara meanwhile, had gone into her bedroom to get them something to wear. She returned a few minutes later with sweat pants, t-shirts and a bra for herself.

After they both cleaned up, they made their way to the kitchen in search of some much-needed nourishment. Tara headed to the fridge, opening the door and staring blankly at its contents. She needed something with some sustenance, something besides lettuce, tofu or other random veggies. A few seconds later, Willow wrapped herself around Tara from behind.

“Ummm…isn’t this how we ended up in bed together in the first place?” Tara said.

“Um hmm and up against the wall and the counter and on the bathroom floor…” Willow giggled and squeezed Tara tighter, lightly kissing her neck. She couldn’t seem to get enough of the blonde.

Tara sighed heavily, “There’s nothing in here Will, except some annoyingly healthy food, and I need something more substantial.”

“Me too. How about we order a pizza? Or maybe some Chinese take out or something?” Willow questioned as she rubbed the blondes fit stomach through the thin material of her shirt.

“Oh yum, Chinese…sounds perfect, I’ll find the menu.” Tara answered as she closed the fridge door and began to rummage through one of her kitchen drawers.

Willow perched herself on a bar stool and leaned across the kitchen island, intently watching Tara. It was amazing the feelings that this beautiful woman could conjure within her. The connection they shared seemed to grow everyday, and just looking at Tara filled her heart. Willow sighed deeply in an attempt to get a handle on her emotions. Ever since meeting Tara, Willow seemed to be on an emotional roller coaster. All these new feelings she was experiencing were a tad confusing. Last night she’d decided not to think and analyze, that had worked out well, so maybe it was a good time to do that again, she thought.

Tara ended up searching through several drawers before she finally whipped her hand in the air and triumphantly waved the menu above her head. She sauntered over to Willow and worked her way between the redhead’s knees. They snuggled close and chose more food than they could possibly ever eat. Tara called in the order and they settled on the couch together with Ralphie snuggled in Willow’s lap.

“I guess it’s a good thing Ralphie has a doggie door.” Willow said as she scratched behind his ears.

Tara smiled at the affectionate gesture, “He likes you.”

“Well, I like him too.” Willow replied and she leaned forward and kissed the top of his furry head.

A few minutes later they heard a door close and a completely disheveled and hung over Kelly emerged looking like death warmed over. She was in her pj’s and a robe with her hair standing on end.

“Well look what the cat dragged in,” Tara said, completely amused at her assistant’s less that dignified appearance.

“Ugh…me need coffee.” The brunette moaned.

“Hmm, late night?”

“More like early morning, I didn’t even get home until after 7am. I’m not even sure where my car is, I had to have Charlie drop me at the gate.”

“Good grief Kel,” Tara was surprised, she’d never seen her assistant quite so hung over before, “Where did you go?”

“Well, we started off at the Whiskey, then The Roxy and I vaguely remember The Sky Bar, although I think...maybe I just dreamt that one? Anyway, it was legen-dary. Well, from the bits and pieces I remember.”

“Sounds like you had a pretty good time,” Willow interjected, absently playing with the sleeve on Tara’s shirt and rubbing her arm. She was still having a hard time taking her hands off of her girlfriend, not wanting to break their connection even for a second. Willow was hoping the food would arrive soon so they could retreat back to the bedroom for some more alone time. Truthfully, she was exhausted and just wanted to curl up naked in the bed with Tara and sleep.

“Yeah, from what I remember it was. How about you guys? How was the party?”

“Good, we had fun.” Tara answered.

“Yeah, so I gathered,” Kelly smirked, remembering tripping over the clothes and shoes discarded just inside the front door.

Willow gave Tara a knowing smile and began to blush, prompting Tara to change the subject, “So, are you hungry? We ordered Chinese and there should be plenty.”

“That’d be great, thanks. Yay, coffee!” Kelly exclaimed as the coffee maker gurgled and hissed.

Kelly was fumbling around the kitchen with the milk and sugar when the gate buzzer sounded. She hit the talk button while stirring her coffee, letting the deliveryman know that someone would be there in a minute. Mounted on the wall, just above the gate control pad, was a video monitor and several photographers could be seen milling around the delivery car. Either Kelly didn’t notice or she failed to tell Tara, who was already on her way out the door with Willow to meet the driver.

The two women walked hand in hand down the driveway chatting and enjoying each others company. As they rounded the curve, Tara spotted the Papparazzi through the bushes and abruptly stopped, pulling Willow backwards.

“Whoa, what’s up?” Willow asked, slightly thrown off guard with Tara’s sudden stop.

“Papparazzi, at th-the gate.”

Willow, leaned forward and peered through the bushes, “The wolves are at the gate! Uh, sorry. What’s going on? This is the first time I’ve seen them at your house before.”

“It’s actually not that unusual, I’ve just been lucky lately. But I see that I’m back on the radar, probably because of the party last night. I think they’re curious as to whom I brought.” Tara said, as Willow just stared at her grinning.

“What?”

“You said whom.”

“Am I not allowed to say that word?” Tara said, raising an eyebrow.

“Of course you can say it, I thought it was cute…say it again.”

“Whom, whom, whom…” Tara started to giggle and leaned in for a kiss. “Will, you wait here and I’ll go to the gate. Ok?”

“Sure.”

“How’s my hair? Damn, no sunglasses or makeup. Do I look ok?”

“Well, I might be biased, but I think you look extraordinarily beautiful,” Willow put her hands on Tara’s hips, pulled her close and kissed her soundly, “Now go get our food, cuz I’m starving and missing out on my TLC.”

Tara futzed with her hair again, turned and walked around the bend towards the gate. The photographers started snapping away and bombarding her with questions. She just smiled, waved and paid the guy for the food. Then she opened the gate wide enough for him to pass her the two bags of food and immediately pressed the close button. Leaving the wanna be journalists clambering for information. She smiled again, turned on her heels and walked back up the driveway to the beautiful redhead that was waiting for her, safely tucked behind the thick foliage.

“What were they asking you?” Willow questioned, as she quickly took one of the bags from Tara so she could hold her free hand.

“They were asking who my hot date was last night.” Tara replied, with a sweet lopsided smile.

“Oh yeah, I was totally hot in that outfit. I think maybe it was the eyebrows,” Willow snickered, “What did you tell them?”

“That it was a super hot redheaded woman that I totally had my way with,” Tara grinned at Willow, “Truthfully, nothing. I just smiled and paid for the food. Unfortunately, now they’ll just blow it up into this big mystery and drive me insane,” Tara sighed, biting her bottom lip, “Sorry.”

“It’s ok Tare, we’ll figure it out. Besides, I don’t want to talk about them anymore, today is about us.” Willow smiled, bringing Tara’s hand to her mouth and kissing it several times.

“Are you ok?” Tara asked Willow.

“Yeah, why?”

“I just noticed you limping a little, your leg...”

“Oh, yeah, it’s fine. You know, with all the dancing last night and then the extracurricular activities, I guess it’s still a little sore.”

“Well then, I’d better get you inside and off your feet,” Tara said with a wink, “Flat on your back sounds good to me.”

“Promises, promises…”

[Laragh]

DIBS!

Sorry this took so long, I had to pause halfway through when I realised I forgot I was cooking dinner in my excitement to see an update and almost burnt the house down lol.

Okay, first off:

Hopefully I didn’t ruin it with the gratuitous sex in the next chapter, lol.

I'm fully aware that they feedback to feedback wasn't aimed at me and I normally don't read your (or anyone's) responses to others 'cause I feel like I'm snooping lol but I happened to catch that and just had to say: the only thing gratuitous sex ruins is by abilty to have any higher brain function

Also, it made me very excited for the chapter!

Haha. Early morning peeing antics. I'm actually loling pretty hard right now, 'cause I just wrote my own little 'snuggles vs aching bladder' thing too!

Great little bit about how much more everything was to Tara. It's amazing what a little Willow-lovin' can do!!

Ooh, countertop sex. Awesome

I'm so envious of their Chinese take-out (my dinner's burnt, thanks to you )

Nooo, paps are here. Boo you papparazzi. Boo you.

That's a promise I'm sure Tara will deliver on

Awesome, wonderful, delightful chapter!!
