Chapter 14: Hats & Toys“I’m surprised Buffy.” Joyce said as she, her daughters and Faith walked through the Sunnydale mall. “I expected more pleading about that outfit that made you look like a street walker.”
“But a thin streetwalker.” Buffy replied causing Faith to let out a bark of laughter.
Joyce merely rolled her eyes at her eldest daughter. At the disapproving expression Buffy tried to back track on any comments that might cause her mother to rifle through her wardrobe.
“I picked up a better looking outfit that was way more modest the last time the gang went shopping.” Buffy amended.
“Buffy, do I need to check your closet for anything too skimpy?” Joyce asked in a tone that caused Dawn to giggle.
“No Mom, I swear it isn’t anything too revealing.” Buffy said. “I just got it to go with these boots Faith got me so we could go dancing.”
At that admission Joyce stopped in her tracks and did a double take. Fearing her mother didn’t believe her Buffy lightly nudged Faith in the ribs.
“Huh, oh yeah.” Faith said as she jumped into the conversation. “No worries Mrs. S. B and I just wanted to dress up for a girl’s night at the Bronze. Just us Slayers.”
Joyce caught the hopeful glint in the brunette’s eyes and realized the girl was almost pleading with her to drop the subject. Clearly Faith was nervous about her plans falling apart or being revealed if the blonde Slayer over thought the scenario.
“That sounds lovely Honey.” Joyce said with a slight nod to Faith. She then looked around at the various shops along the walkway with a worried frown. “The stores are closing and I still need to order the flyers for the opening. Okay, Dawn and I’ll go to the printers and then get our food. You two go to the tailor and pick up my outfit from everyday woman.” Joyce finished as she handed Buffy a claim slip.
“Everyday Woman?” Buffy scowled.
“There’s the receipt.” Joyce said.
“Why didn’t you just go to “Muumuus R’ Us?” Buffy asked.
“Do now. Make fun of your mother later.” Joyce replied with a sigh and another eye roll before walking off with Dawn.
“Come on B, it’ll be fun.” Faith said as she dragged the petite blonde away in the opposite direction.
“So it’s okay to dress like a street walker if it’s for Faith?” Dawn asked with a coy smirk after the two Slayers were out of sight.
“No, but Faith does so much for Buffy and is doing her best to build a real relationship. I really can’t fault her.” Joyce said. “Beside, Buffy dressing inappropriately for random men to leer at her is different from her dressing like that with Faith running interference all night. Now come on my little Pumpkin Belly.” Joyce added while giving Dawn a playful hug.
Dawn simply laughed and went along with her mother.
******************************
“You gettin’ any pings B?” Faith asked as they stepped onto the down escalator.
“Now that you mention it my spidey senses have been tingling a little.” Buffy replied. She looked around the mall and saw a man in a cowboy hat hanging on a woman while moving up the other escalator. A quick glance at the mirror beside them revealed the surprising fact that the man had no reflection.
“I see him too B.” Faith said after the vampire and his intended victim passed them by. Once the demon and the girl were at the top and walking off Faith vaulted over the divider and landed on the up escalator. Buffy quickly followed suit. They had hunting to do.
Following their Slayer senses both young woman easily trailed the monster and woman to the closed arcade. He was hovering over the young woman’s exposed neck as she obliviously played pinball.
“Turn around Baby. I have something to show you.” The vampire said as he removed the white cowboy hat and revealed his game face.
“Wait a sec. This is my high score.” She replied as he swept her hair aside.
“Well ain’t you just got the prettiest little neck I ever did see.” He said, preparing to sink his fangs into the exposed flesh.
“Boy, you guys really never come up with any new lines do you?” Buffy said with an exasperated sigh.
“Do you mind?” The still clueless girl said. “We were talking here.”
“You promised you’d never cheat on me again, Honey.” Buffy said as she took a few steps forward.
“Um, I better go.” The girl replied as she started to panic.
“But I ain’t done yet.” The vampire replied as she turned to see his true face for the first time. The girl gasped then let out a startled scream and made a quick exit as the demon and Slayer squared off.
“Well alright Sugar Lips.” He said as he put his hat back on and began to circle Buffy. “Giddy Up.”
He made a clumsy swing for Buffy which she easily countered with a series of punches that knocked her opponent against an arcade cabinet.
“You’re a rough one ain’t ya?” He asked. “I like that.”
He lunged back into the fray and after trading a few more blows threw Buffy onto the pinball machine. He pulled Buffy up by grabbing the straps on her backpack.
“You must be that Slayer I’ve been hearing so much about.” He said. “Lyle Gorch. Pleased to meet ya.”
With a swift kick Buffy sent him flying into another pinball machine.
“Pleasure’s mine.” Buffy shot back before she leapt at her foe.
Lyle ducked and rolled across the room as Buffy pulled out her stake. With a smooth flourish he snatched up his fallen cowboy hat and returned it to his head. He stood and turned pointing a finger at the Slayer.
“This ain’t over.” Lyle promised. Before he could turn and run he lurched forward with a surprised look. His hat fell to the ground just before he exploded in a cloud of dust Buffy stared in mild surprise. Faith stepped out of the shadow by the arcade cabinet and slipped the stake back into her sleeve.
“Yeah it is.” The brunette said with a wide smirk.
“You know you could have jumped in at any time.” Buffy said with a pout.
“Aww shucks B.” Faith replied as she snatched up the cowboy hat and looked it over. “I reckon a pretty lil’ thang like you could more than handle herself.” She said as she placed the hat on her head.
“Great.” Buffy said with another eye roll. “Is the hat and accent gonna be a staple of our work life now?”
“That depends Darlin’.” Faith replied. “This doin’ anything for ya?” She asked with an eyebrow waggle.
As Buffy looked at her friend she let a loud snort burst out then turn into full blown laughter. Faith just grinned at the way she could bring a smile to the blonde’s face. It didn’t last long though.
“Shit B!” Faith called out as her smiled turned to panic. “Your Mom’s dress.”
“Crap.” Buffy said.
******************************
Joyce and Dawn sat at a table in the food court with four trays of food. The youngest Summers was looking around slightly nervously for her sister and the dark haired Slayer. Joyce was engaged in heavy eye rolling as she wondered if Faith’s efforts had far exceeded anyone’s expectations.
“Ooh, here they come.” Dawn said with an energetic glee that soon turned to a worried frown. “Something seems odd.”
Joyce looked to where her daughter was gazing and saw both Slayers slowly approaching. Faith was wearing a cowboy hat Joyce didn’t recognize and Buffy had a large bag from Everyday Woman in her hand.
“Honey is everything okay?” Joyce asked as they came to sit at the table. “You girls look like you just ran a marathon.”
“Damn vampire almost made us miss the store closing.” Buffy said with a huff. Joyce’s expression grew even more concerned which caused Buffy to wince slightly. “Everything’s okay Mom. We followed this baddie and some girl he was going to snack on to the closed arcade on the far side of the mall. She ran off after she saw his game face and I fought him.”
“And where was Faith while you were fighting?” Joyce asked with a concerned frown.
“Mom, chill.” Buffy said. “Faith was watching my back like always.”
At the suddenly wide eyed look on Joyce’s face Faith jumped into the conversation. She didn’t want Joyce worrying over the effect her emotions would have on their work life when Buffy was still a long way off from being told about those emotions.
“Oh yeah, B totally had him on the ropes so he makes to vamoose like.” Faith said. “But he didn’t even know I was there. So I’m all like. “Yo Dawg, what’s with the hat?” And he’s all like. “Don’t mess with Texas bitch.” So I staked him before he could run away.”
“Oh dear.” Joyce muttered.
“Wow. Really?” Dawn asked in awe.
“Nah, not really.” Faith said. “But I did get the drop on him as he was about to run away. Then we had to run all the way across the mall to get to the dress shop.”
“Thank you for looking out for Buffy Faith.” Joyce said with a genuine smile.
“No problem Mrs. S.” Faith replied. “Thanks for grabbing some food. I’m starving.” The Boston girl said as she dug into her plate.
As the girls began to eat Joyce looked to Buffy with a slightly nervous expression. After a few minutes passed Buffy finally noticed the tense atmosphere.
“Okay Mom, what’s the what?” Buffy asked with a neutral tone she was ready to turn into a full blown pout at any moment.
“It’s nothing Honey.” Joyce said at first. “It’s just. There is this gallery event coming up next weekend and I was wondering about asking Ru, Mr. Giles if he would like to accompany me.”
“Really Mom?” Dawn asked with a perplexed look. “Mr. Giles?”
Buffy’s expression fell for a moment before she decided to just go along with the obvious outcome. Buffy knew she couldn’t keep her mother from living her life. So long as she was with Giles it at least meant she wasn’t getting preyed upon by some demon or even another robot.
“Mom if you want to date Giles you can date Giles just, please don’t rub my face in it.” Buffy said after a long pause.
“Buffy.” Joyce began.
“No, okay?” Buffy replied. “I get it. You are not getting back together with dad and I’m not asking you to join a convent or something. It’s better that I know you’re seeing someone I know is human. I just don’t want to think about Giles doing anything besides wearing tweed, drinking tea and reading musty old books.”
“Seconded.” Faith added. “G man is a great watcher and everything. I couldn’t ask for a better one. But we don’t need to hear about him gettin’ his play on.”
Joyce looked at both Slayers for a long moment before a smile crept along her lips. She had worried the issue of her personal life after the Ted nightmare would turn into a fight, but apparently both Slayers had caught on much more quickly than Joyce could have hoped.
“Thank you.” Joyce said as she began to eat with her girls.
******************************
“Thank you again for meeting us Ms. Prescott.” Willow said in a cheery voice as the woman followed her into the library.
“I must say I was surprised by this recent purchase order.” The tall blonde said in a demure tone. “The limited availability and exceedingly volatile nature of this requisition is far outside the scope of your previous orders.”
As the woman spoke Willow and Tara simply met her seemingly concerned attitude with polite smiles. Prescott knew she was making a calculated risk but she had to ask the pressing question.
“I honestly can’t imagine what you would need this item for.” Prescott said with a placid tone.
Willow only smiled at the attempt to fish for information. She decided to grace the woman with the most tantalizing half answer she could come up with.
“In a short while a grave threat to the safety of this town is going to rise.” Willow said. “The item we requested from you will ensure that the situation at hand is dealt with in the most expedient way possible.”
Prescott smiled at the fact the young redhead saw right through her and gave her an honest answer without giving her anything at all. Without further delay she set a metal briefcase on the table and unlatched it so the two young women could get a clear look at its contents.
“I believe this will suit your needs.” Prescott said before closing the case. “It isn’t often that I’m asked to procure standard issue military ordinance.”
Willow reached over to her laptop and pressed a single button. She then turned to the arms dealer and smiled.
“The payment has been wired to your account. Believe me.” Willow replied. “We don’t plan on making a habit of this. But there were time constraints on this task that necessitated going through a third party.”
“Very well.” The tall blonde said with a courteous smile. “As always it has been a pleasure ladies.”
“Thank you again Ms. Prescott.” Tara said as the woman turned to leave the house.
Willow opened the case one more time and pulled out the metal cylinder. She checked to make sure the pin was in place and the ignition mechanism was in order.
“Think that’s really necessary Sweetie?” Tara asked.
“Probably not.” Willow replied. “But I can’t stand the thought of that ugly thing swallowing one of our friends.”
“I agree.” Tara admitted. “The sight of Buffy crawling out of that pit covered in that horrible black gunk.” A shiver ran up and down Tara’s spine at the vivid memory from several different lives.
At the sound of the front door opening and footsteps quickly approaching the library Willow hurried to place the weapon back inside the briefcase and close it.
“Sup girlfriends.” Faith called with a grin as she stepped inside the library still wearing the white cowboy hat she had managed to claim.
“Faith, where did you get that hat?” Tara asked with a nervous tone.
“B and I dusted Lyle Gorch while we were hitting up the mall with the Brat and Mrs. S.” Faith said. “Ya’ll weren’t in here messin’ with Texas now were ya? Cause I reckon ya ought not ta be doin’ that.” She finished with an outlandish southern drawl.
Willow and Tara shared a look before Willow went over to one of the book shelves and pulled out a relatively recently printed tome. She brought it back to the table and flipped through several pages before coming to a stop on one page with a sizeable picture of two men.
“This was him right?” Willow asked as Faith moseyed on up to her.
“Yeah Red, that’s the guy.” Faith replied. “Who’s the dingus next to him?”
“His brother Tector.” Tara said. “He’ll be in town and as soon as he figures out what happened he’ll want revenge.”
“I’ll warn B.” Faith said as she took the hat off and set it down on the table. “Probably best to leave this here so I can get the drop on the blood sucker.”
“You gonna leave the accent here too?” Willow asked.
“No can do Darlin’.” Faith said with another drawl and a wicked smile. “You can take the girl out of the country but you can’t take the cowboy out of the girl unless you hit him with a fire hose or something.”
Both witches looked at the Slayer in shock for about a second before breaking out in laughter. Faith simply smiled at how close she had gotten with her new family in such a short time. With a carefree wave the Boston girl turned and headed upstairs. She had plans for a relaxing shower and a warm bed.
******************************
All seemed well the next day at school as most of the Scoobies gathered at their bench in the courtyard during lunch. The girls were busy discussing various plans they all had.
“So it’s the last day of class before the Christmas break. What are you gonna get down to B?” Faith asked with the smile it seemed she always reserved for the blonde.
“I dunno.” Buffy replied. “I’ll probably have to put in a lot of family time. We have to track down Teddy the Cowboy.”
“Tector.” Willow corrected with a light smile.
“But after that I’m pretty sure I owe you a night on the town to break in my new boots.” Buffy said to Faith. The brunette let the dopiest grin cross her face before she realized how obvious she was being. She quickly cleared her throat and tried valiantly to change the subject.
“Anyone know what the deal is with Xander and his whole here one minute gone the next thing?” Faith asked while turning to the witches.
“Odds are he’s in a closet somewhere making out with Cordelia.” Willow said with a neutral expression.
“What?” Buffy nearly shouted, drawing strange looks from all around. “No way! No freaking way!”
“I know right.” Willow said. “I don’t know how he does it.”
“Lots of people try th-things out before they f-finally meet the person they’re meant to be with.” Tara said with a crooked smirk.
“Okay but I was young and so completely confused.” Willow said while starting to grow worried. “Baby you said you didn’t hold that against me.”
“And I never will hold it against you.” Tara replied before putting on a positively wicked grin. “Not when there are so many other things I enjoy holding against you even more.”
Willow let out a startled meep as she felt Tara’s eyes practically undress her and lay her naked form out across the stone bench. Her skin began to take on a tone several shades closer to her hair color as Tara began to twirl long red locks around her fingers with one hand while massaging Willow’s inner thigh with the other. With a satisfied sigh Tara turned back to the Slayers while still playing with Willow’s hair.
“I’m just saying Xander is young and h-he’s going through s-something private that will hurt him but in the end make him a much b-better person.” The honey blonde finished.
“Okay, but with Cordelia?” Buffy asked.
“I know Buff.” Willow replied. “It will work itself out though. We just have to be there for our friend.”
“Alright, I guess I can be Supporto Gal.” Buffy sighed.
“Speaking of support we have a job to do tonight.” Willow said.
“How bad is it and will it ruin my hair?” Buffy asked, causing Faith to let out a snort of laughter.
“Demon nesting under the school.” Willow said. “Once everything shuts down for the break we’ll come back with Giles, or maybe just his keys, and sneak into the basement that now has a huge hole in one wall.”
“Then we need to hold off its offspring w-while one of us sets Willow’s new toy to take care of the mother.” Tara finished.
“What kind of new toy?” Buffy asked.
“The one time use, duck and cover kind.” Willow said with a grin.
******************************
The sun was just setting as Giles used his building keys to let the gang into the Library. With a slight smile he turned to Willow.
“From what I have read this Bezoar demon is nothing to scoff at.” Giles remarked. “It’s good that we have some advanced warning before it was able to fill the school with its spawn, but how were we planning on dispatching it again?”
“Relax G man.” Faith said as she strolled inside. “Red and Blondie got a new toy from that Prescott chick the other night.”
“The woman whose company made the body armor you designed?” Xander asked.
“Yup.” Willow replied. “Got it right here in my pocket. Tara and I just have to bless each of you so you can’t be controlled by the spawn. Then we head downstairs, I’ll levitate it over to the hole and set it off.”
“How big of a bang are we talking here Will?” Buffy asked with a worried frown.
“No bang at all.” Willow said. “Just a lot of heat.”
“I’ll set up the circle.” Tara said as she pulled several canisters of salt from a bag and began laying out ritual items and bags of herbs on the library table.
“How does this thing control us again Will?” Xander asked as the preparations took shape.
“It lays these eggs that look like chicken eggs.” Willow said. “Then they hatch and this ugly purplish gray thing that kinda looks like a face hugger from the Alien movies skitters up your back and latches onto your spine. The whole thing is very unpleasant.”
“Damn.” Faith said. “We really do gotta watch out for the ugly little shits crawling up our butts?”
“Hence the protection spell.” Tara said as she laid the last bit of the now completed circle in place. “Okay everyone step into the circle and hold still for a bit.”
Each of the Scoobies took care not to disturb the carefully laid out design on the floor as they stepped over it. Once both Slayers and both men were in place Willow and Tara took up opposite positions on either side.
Faith gave out a light laugh. Buffy turned to look her fellow Slayer in the eyes and the brunette quickly gave her a small smile.
“Last time I was in a circle between these two I was a muggle.” Faith admitted.
“Dawn get you reading those books too?” Buffy asked. Faith gave a little nod and then looked back to Giles as he softly chuckled.
“Quite.” Giles said with a weary smile. Perhaps one of the more obvious benefits to moving their headquarters out of the school library was the fact that students had started frequenting the place after he got in a shipment of books about a young boy wizard.
“Just wait till those movies start coming out Giles.” Willow said with an impish grin. “This place will be packed.”
“I don’t know how I shall ever contain myself.” The Brit replied with a soft smile.
“Everyone ready?” Willow asked. As their four friends nodded along Willow and Tara began to chant softly under their breaths. A minute passed before their voices rose to a discernable volume.
“Goddess hear us.” They intoned in unison. “Your children walk through darkness. Shroud them in blessed light. Shield them from all mind takers. Protect their will so they may honor yours.”
Light suffused the library as the watcher, the boy and the two Slayers felt their minds clear and their thoughts flow more freely. The spell took effect and they each breathed in a fresh breath of air. As the glare faded the four friends noticed that the circle of salt and herbs was gone. Tara and Willow stooped to retrieve the few crystals left behind.
Buffy turned to the two witches and quirked her head. Something had popped into her mind and she had to ask her friends about their own safety.
“What about you two?” Buffy asked. “Won’t you guys need this too?”
“Not really.” Willow replied with a coy smirk. “Tara and I have this much bigger spell that lasts over a month and has much more dramatic defenses. We cast the ward every other week and we just refreshed it this morning.”
“We can’t let anything use us against each other.” Tara said with firm conviction.
“Sweet.” Faith remarked. “Come on B let’s get to Slaying.”
Buffy smiled at her friend and felt a sudden uplifting in her spirit as the brunette looked at her. She gazed into deep chocolate pools for a long moment and for the first time in a long while felt at peace. Buffy wondered briefly if the spell had made her see something that wasn’t there before until she realized, whatever this was she was feeling, it had always been there. Just beneath the surface, waiting for her to notice.
For the briefest of moments Buffy knew she could trust Faith with much more than her life. She had no idea why that thought struck her with such terror.
For her part Faith favored the blonde with a warm smile. She had known Buffy would give her life new meaning for weeks now. The suddenly clear insight from the spell just confirmed what was in her heart. What came as a shock to Faith was the sudden realization of just why Joyce had cautioned her to take things slowly. Before the intense eye contact could escalate to a point Faith knew her love still wasn’t ready for she cocked her head to the side and grinned.
“Come on B.” Faith said as she turned and headed towards the basement.
Buffy, for her part, visibly shuddered as Faith turned and walked away. She couldn’t tell why but she knew she didn’t like the way it seemed like Faith gave up on a part of herself each time the brunette turned away. With out hesitation Buffy fell into step beside Faith and the two Slayers strolled out of the library side by side.
“Sweet merciful Zeus.” Xander said in open mouthed shock. “Did you guys see that?”
“I know right.” Willow said. “It’s so painful to watch two people so perfect for each other go through something like that because one of them can’t see it.”
“She’ll find a way.” Giles remarked. “Now let’s go give them all the support we can.”
With the watcher’s bold statement he, the boy and the witches quickly followed the Slayers. They all had work to do.
******************************
“You getting a reading too B?” Faith asked as Xander held the electric lantern up to illuminate the dark stair case behind the maintenance door.
“I’m getting something.” Buffy said.
As one unit the Scoobies moved down the stairs and into the basement of the school. Once at the foot of the stairs Willow and Tara led the group down a corridor and past several fuse boxes.
At the end of one corridor they saw stacks of boxes and barrels concealing one wall. With only minimal effort the Slayers knock the barricade down to reveal a gaping hole in the cement wall. Beyond the opening was a tunnel with rough stone walls.
“This school must have several of these tunnels all over this basement.” Willow said. “Damn warlock Mayor Wilkins and his demonic pacts.”
“The old Mayor was a demon?” Xander asked. “Why does that not surprise me as much as it should?”
“No he was mostly human.” Tara said.
“As human as a three hundred year old sorcerer could be.” Willow remarked. “Why do you guys think we killed him the first week Tara showed up?”
“That was you?” Giles cried out, aghast.
“Oh yeah.” Willow replied. “The hardest part was sealing all of his vampire staff in the building as we cleared them all out. You wouldn’t believe how many blood suckers he had working for him.”
“How bad was the mess he would have brought down on us?” Buffy asked while not even looking at her friend. Something was off and she needed to be on high alert.
“For as much suffering as he caused to each of us he had simple dreams.” Willow admitted. “He wanted to ascend to the level and form of an Old One.”
“Oh dear lord.” Giles said.
“What kind of demon is that?” Faith asked.
“The creature all vampires are descended from was an Old One. One of the last and weakest.” Giles told her. “They were all powerful immortals that died out in the early days of humanity. But there are still legends of a place their bodies are held so they can’t be revived.”
“The Deeper Well.” Tara said. “If you guys are very unlucky we’ll h-have to take you there some day.”
“You know of.” Giles began before realizing his mistake. “Of course you know where it is. You probably went there to seal it in another dimension or the like.”
“Nope.” Willow said. “A few years from now one of the more powerful Old Ones is prophesized to escape. Its sarcophagus goes to where its kingdom once stood but it never accounted for continental drift. One of the side benefits of taking over the law firm is that we can have teams sent to kill the cultists waiting for their dead demigod and ship the damn thing back to the Well.”
“So we don’t have to worry about that one?” Buffy asked.
“Not for another four or five years. Even then if it manages to infect a human host its kingdom and army are already destroyed.” Willow said. “By then we’ll have bigger problems you’ll both need to focus on.”
“Bigger problems than an Old One?” Giles asked in shock.
“Oh yeah. You have no idea.” Willow said. Before she could continue a form jumped out at them from the shadows.
“Protect the Mother!” The small portly man with dark hair and glasses shouted as he lunged clumsily at the group.
“Mr. Whitmore?” Buffy shouted back. “What the hell?”
“Crap he’s already infected.” Willow cried out. “Xander, Giles! Hold him while we take out the demon.”
“I reckon you’ll be havin’ some problems with that.” A voice called out from behind them. Faith spun around and found the vampire that perfectly matched the picture of Tector Gorch standing behind them.
“Look B.” Faith called loud enough she was sure the vampire could hear. “This must be the little brother of that chump we dusted.”
“You really killed my brother?” He asked with a tone that barely held back seething hatred. “I’m gonna make all y’all pay.”
The vampire lunged at the two slayers who managed to sidestep without any effort. Tector went sailing into the cavern opening where the slowly awakening demon nested. Buffy and Faith were quick to follow. Giles and Xander were just as quick to subdue the high school’s health teacher.
“Come on Baby.” Willow said to Tara. “We have to get this done before it swallows one of them.”
Tara nodded and the two young women went through the tunnel into a large cavern that held a slowly moving pile of rubble in the middle of the cracked stone floor. Looking around the cavern they saw several of the small offspring skitter passed the Slayers and up the legs of Tector Gorch.
The vampire quickly ripped off the creatures which caused a deep bellow to reverberate throughout the cave. Tector lunged again at Buffy who grabbed him by the collar and in one smooth flurry of motion flipped him over her. His hat went flying to the side as Tector himself skidded to a halt just over the center of the cracked floor. Tector looked down and saw the largest eye he had ever seen slowly crack open and glare at him.
“Well hello.” Tector said just before a tentacle wrapped around his neck and dragged him into the creature’s still buried maw. Screams and gurgling could be heard echoing through the chamber as the last of the Gorch brothers was digested.
“Well that solved one problem.” Tara remarked.
“Quickly.” Willow said as she pulled a small metal cylinder from her bag. “We need to end this.”
The demon’s offspring were quickly converging on the two witches. Buffy and Faith did what they could but there were dozens spread throughout the cavern. One of the beasts managed to touch Willow’s foot as she stood there focusing on the canister in her hand.
What happened next completely surprised both Slayers. A static charge erupted from the contact between witch and demon. The slimy little monster was thrown back so hard it hit the far wall of the cavern and fell to the ground in a charred heap. Several other creatures reached Tara and met similar fates.
“That must be some really powerful mojo you guys set up.” Buffy said as she began to mop up the last of the spawn by her.
“No doubt.” Faith said as she reached down to scoop up the black cowboy hat Tector had left behind. “Check it out B.” The brunette said after checking the inside of the hat for tiny demons. “Air it out a little and you got your self a mighty fine hat.”
“What would I want with a cowboy hat?” Buffy asked.
“Aww shucks lil’ lady.” Faith replied. “Ya’ll don’t want to go line dancin’ wit me now?” Buffy just rolled her eyes at Faith’s accent laden pout and snatched the hat from her hands.
“Fine Faith.” The blonde said before putting a pout of her own on. “I’ll wear mine if you wear yours.” Faith met Buffy’s pout with a genuine smile.
Across the room Willow used magic to slowly move the weapon she had special ordered for this occasion over the now gaping crack in the floor. Tara stood at her side clasping the hand that wasn’t stretched out towards the canister. Once it was over the hole the redhead let out a sigh of relief.
With a tiny amount of telekinetic effort she slid the pin out of the thermite grenade and stepped back towards the tunnel with Tara. The Slayers soon followed.
Smoke billowed out as the small incendiary ignited. A bright glow emitted from the now burning molten core of the device. Without Willow holding it aloft with her mind the grenade fell through the air and landed right beside the eye of the Bezoar. The brightly burning compound bored through the creature’s flesh with a searing crackle. Loud shrieks of pain echoed through the cavern. Smoke and an eerie orange light poured from the smoldering crevice. Within moments the screams stopped. A minute later the smoke dissipated and all that was left was the stench of burning demon.
******************************
“And what were we all doing at school at this hour.” Mr. Whitmore asked Giles again in a state of confusion as the Scoobies lead him out of the building.
“Last minute security check.” The librarian lied. “And I’m glad we did or else you might not have made it out after that gas leak.”
“Oh.” The short man said.
“Come along, I’ll see that you get home.” Giles told the man as he loaded him into his car.
“Should we be more worried about him?” Xander asked.
“With Mama Bezoar dead the babies are gone for good and their control is done for.” Willow replied.
“So, job well done?” He asked.
“And then some.” Buffy said as she and he friends began to walk towards their homes. It was an odd fight but with it done she finally had some time to fulfill her promise to Faith.
******************************
As the Scoobies made their way home only two of them had any idea that at that very moment a very important meeting was taking place in the city of Los Angeles.
Ethan Rayne sauntered up to the front door of the dock side warehouse he had been given directions to. There was a certain upbeat glee in his step. He really couldn’t help his good cheer. The show was about to begin.
With a steady hand Ethan knocked on the door three times. A moment later the speakeasy style peephole slid open and an angry set of eyes glared at him.
“And just who the hell do you think you are?” The man asked in a noticeably gruff British accent.
“Ethan Rayne my dear chap, and I believe you’re the ones who called me.” The sorcerer replied with a measured smile. “Now are we going to conduct this bit of business through that murder hole, or am I going to be let in?”
“Weatherby let the man in for piss sake.” Another Englishman said from behind the door.
“Alright.” Weatherby replied as the peephole cover slid closed and the door slowly swung open.
“Alright then.” Ethan replied as he strode inside. “So you gents would be the Council’s special operations team. I must say I’m surprised you contacted me.”
“Well all the Council mages are busy in other fields and this job is quickly snowballing out of proportion from what we were initially told.” The second man said. He had dark brown hair and a slightly pudgy face.
“Damn it Smith!” The first man said angrily. “We don’t even know if this warlock can be trusted.” He also had dark hair as well as a pronounced five o’ clock shadow and more angular features.
“Sorcerer my dear man.” Ethan replied with a mildly annoyed tone. “I’ll have you know I’ve never broken an oath I made willingly.”
“There, see Weatherby?” Smith asked. “He’s the slightly more trustworthy kind of rogue magic user. Come on then Mr. Rayne, Collins will be wanting to speak with you.”
Ethan smiled politely as the men led him deeper into the warehouse. They turned a corner and made their way through some doors to an office space with a kitchen off to one side and doors along one wall that presumably held sleeping quarters.
“Is this the Mystic?” A dour looking man with slightly graying curly hair asked.
“That would be one way of putting it.” Ethan replied as he walked up to the table the man was sitting behind and took a seat facing him. “You must be Collins.”
“That I would be Mr. Rayne.” Collins replied. “Normally my team doesn’t call in freelance contractors for jobs that might require magic but we’ve hit a bit of a snag much earlier than the higher ups ever anticipated.”
“A snag you say?” Ethan enquired with a carefully crafted frown.
“Yes.” Collins said as Smith and Weatherby took up seats at either of his sides. “The main crux of this mission was to gather intel and figure out just how much the witches have interfered in council business. But we ran into a wall.”
“Damn witches put some kind of curse on us.” Weatherby growled.
“Might be on the entire council with the way this trip was handled.” Smith added.
“Pardon my ignorance gentlemen, but what makes you think you’ve been cursed?” Ethan asked.
“Our travel arrangements for one.” Collins answered. “We were supposed to fly to the Hellmouth directly. But the council department that booked our flights said they just couldn’t bring themselves to book the right flight so they routed us through LA.”
“I’m sensing there’s more to this than one flight plan.” Ethan said.
“We were all set to board the flight to Sunnydale and then we just froze.” Collins went on. “There we were, sitting by the gate, waiting to board. They started calling groups and we just sat there. They called our section and we stayed seated. They announced final boarding and we were still completely frozen.”
“You missed the flight while six feet from the door to the plane?” As far as curses went that was something Ethan had never even imagined. He would have to compliment the girls the next time he checked in.
“We bloody sat there on our asses for three hours after the plane took off.” Weatherby said.
“When we were finally able to stand up we went to rent a van.” Smith said. “The second I tried to merge onto the expressway heading to Sunnydale it felt as if I was making the biggest mistake of my life. I didn’t even notice what I was doing as I pulled the van off to the side of the road and killed the engine.”
“We sat in that van not saying a word for five more bloody hours.” Weatherby said angrily. “Those damn witches have already made fools of us, and we haven’t even started the job.”
“I can see how that would lead you gentlemen to seek assistance outside your normal means.” Ethan remarked. “Alright I’ll help.”
“Excellent, what do you need to break this curse?” Collins said.
“Oh I can’t break this curse.” Ethan replied. All three men from the council’s wetworks team stared at the middle aged sorcerer with the most bewildered expressions.
“If you can’t break the curse then what good are you?” Weatherby asked with his usual amount of contempt.
“Gentlemen it may come as a shock to you to know that I have actually faced these witches.” Ethan said. “I was up to some mischief. Mostly to cause an old friend some light hearted grief. And they figured out my plans long before I even made it to town. They turned things around so that my tricks would give their followers tremendous wisdom and insight they wouldn’t normally have. Needless to say we are not dealing with two run of the mill witches.”
“What do you have in mind then?” Collins asked with a measured, neutral look.
“They made it so you can’t come at them head on.” Ethan said. “And you can count on them having their backs covered. So we’re going to stay here in LA and come at them from the side they won’t expect.”
“And which side is that then?” Weatherby asked.
“Why, the vampire they have stationed here in town of course.” Ethan said with a truly uncompromising smile. “It won’t be easy, and we can’t just dust him or else they’ll go and hand pick another vampire we don’t know anything about. But I believe with your help I can throw a wrench in their plans.”
As the three men gather around the far side of the table looked at him Ethan couldn’t help but notice the looks of sheer glee take up residence on their faces. By the end of the evening he would have them convinced of his plan. Things were falling into place and Ethan couldn’t wait to watch as fresh chaos took all of the players the witches assembled on a ride they would never forget.
“We’ll start by stealing a certain scroll.” Ethan said with wicked grin.

“How does this look?” Joyce asked her daughters after spinning around in a long black dress sparsely decorated with flowers and fans.
“I might like it more than the others. Can you spin around again?” Buffy commented, causing Joyce to comply.
“Ooh, I’m not sure, once more.” Dawn said, eliciting another spin from Joyce.
“Now could you go the other way?” Buffy asked while pointing her finger.
Joyce was about to give another spin when she stopped and looked at Buffy with an amused smile.
“You’re messing with me.” The single mother said. Dawn let out a giggle as her mother caught on to their fun.
“We just wanted to see how many times we could get you to do it.” Buffy said.
“Was that five or four and a half?” Dawn asked with another smile.
“So is anyone going to talk about my dress?” Joyce pleaded.
“I like it.” Dawn replied.
“You sure?” Joyce said. “It’s not too mom-ish?”
“Oh.” Dawn frowned. “That was why I liked it.”
“You’re both crazy.” Buffy declared. “It’s not mom-ish at all. It’s sexy. It screams “Randy sex kitten, buy me one drink and I’ll.” Oh my god you got all sexy just for Giles!”
“Oh god.” Joyce began to panic. “What time is it?”
“Four twenty three.” Buffy answered while checking her watch. “You have lots of time until seven. Vast acres of time in which you can plant crops. Now tell me about this gallery opening you got all sexy to take Giles to.”
“Oh it’s nothing special.” Joyce remarked. “Just premiering a new artist. Do you really think Rupert will like it?”
“He’ll love it Mom.” Buffy said before a worried frown crossed her face. “Maybe a little too much.”
“Oh don’t worry about any of that Buffy.” Joyce assured with a sly grin. “Rupert seems like the type who likes to be teased.”
“Eww, Mom!” Buffy complained. “Please, no with the details. I have to look the guy in the face every single day.”
“Possibly every morning if things go really well.” Dawn added with a wicked smirk.
“Don’t you start on that too.” Buffy told her sister. Dawn only giggled in reply.
“And what about your plans for the evening Buffy?” Joyce asked.
“I’ll start getting ready in a bit and then Faith and I will hit the Bronze.” The Slayer replied.
“I cleaned that hat you brought home a few nights ago.” Joyce said. “Where did you get another cowboy hat anyway?”
“The brother of the vampire Faith took her hat from showed up at the school while we were clearing out the mind control-ly demons in the basement.” Buffy said.
“I still don’t like the fact that your school is built on top of so many demon nests and an actual portal to hell.” Joyce said with a worried frown.
“Several thousand different hells if all of Mr. Giles’s books are right.” Dawn added.
“Yeah it sucks, but I can’t do anything about that now.” Buffy said with a frown before making an effort to put a smile on her face. “Besides, Willow says it won’t be like this forever. She has a plan to get rid of the hellmouth and then we can all leave this town for good.”
“Leave?” Joyce asked. “Why would we leave? Where would we go?”
“She wasn’t clear on the aftermath of this eleventh hour she’s mentioned a few times, but it sounded like this plan of hers was still a ways off.” The Slayer said. “I’m sure it’ll show up in one of the books and Giles will tell us in time to pack the house up.”
“Oh god, Rupert.” Joyce said as she brought her hands up to her chest and caught her breath as a fresh wave of butterflies rushed through her stomach. “What time is it now?”
“Four twenty four.” Buffy said with a straight face.
“You sure the dress is okay?” Joyce asked one last time.
“Spin again. Real fast this time!” Dawn said, drawing another amused smile.
******************************
“What do you guys think of this outfit?” Faith asked the three women she lived with.
“I’m tempted to tell you that you can’t ever leave the house looking like that.” Jennifer said with a worried expression. “But since I’ve seen the way you look at, what was it? Bunny? I know you’ll be safe and want to pull out all the stops.”
“Perfect!” Faith said as Tara and Willow shared a laugh at Jennifer’s joke about Sheila Rosenberg. “Oh god, I hope Buffy likes it.”
“She will Faith.” Willow assured. “She’ll come around in time. You just have to prove to her that she can trust you more than she even trusts herself.”
“Thanks Red.” Faith replied. “I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you guys are cool about this whole thing I have for B.”
“We’ve known for a very long time that you would develop feelings for her Faith.” Willow answered while perched in Tara’s lap. “It seems like just about every version of you we come across falls for her hard the second you see her.”
“Plus the worlds where you two end up together are just better places to live.” Tara remarked as she stroked Willow’s hair. “Life just seems to go by more smoothly.”
“So what’s my success rate?” Faith asked with a nervous smile.
“Ninety? Maybe Ninety five percent?” Willow said, looking to Tara for confirmation. “That’s just counting the worlds where we actually ran into both of you or you two met.”
“Sweet!” Faith said with renewed cheer. “What kind of mistakes did I make in the five to ten percent of worlds that sucked ass?”
“Oh Sweetie.” Tara said with a nervous frown. “You don’t want to dwell on those.”
“How bad could it be?” Faith asked.
“The worst case was our very first life.” Willow said. “You were with Buffy on patrol and slaying vamps left and right in a dark alleyway. A human showed up and you accidentally killed him.”
“Well fuck.” Faith whispered.
“It gets worse.” Willow continued. “That mistake, the way the watcher the council sent to replace Giles treated you, the way the major bad guy that year treated you, and the way Buffy would not shut up about her tragic love with a cursed vampire all led to a series of fights, betrayals, another murder and way too much high school crap that ended with you in a coma for months.”
Faith sat down hard on the bed. She couldn’t believe the babble she was hearing. She knew she wasn’t particularly bright before the Halloween mind swap night. She knew she had a temper. But she never would have suspected she could go off the rails so badly.
“When you woke up Buffy tried to talk you back.” Tara said. “She still looked at you as a person that could be saved then.”
“She didn’t truly hate you.” Willow added. “Yet.”
“What did I do?” Faith asked. She couldn’t let anything drive that big of a wedge between her and the blonde that haunted her dreams.
“You used a magic gizmo your old boss left to you after he died and you stole her body.” Willow answered. “The watchers council sent a team of killers after you and took her while she was trapped in your body. They spat on her while you slept with the one human guy she held a relatively long relationship with. That is the point where she truly began to hate you for a long time.”
“Oh Sweetie.” Jennifer said as she saw tears begin to run down Faith’s cheeks. In no time the woman was on the bed next to the brunette with her arms wrapped around the lightly weeping girl.
It took several minutes but Faith collected herself and looked to the two witches she had come to depend on.
“You guys won’t let me do any of that shit, right?” The Slayer asked.
“We already killed the bad guy that manipulated you and sent Giles’s replacement to LA.” Willow answered. “Killing Kakistos before he brutally violated and butchered your first watcher in front of you also helped.”
“You guys really don’t want me to screw this up do you?” Faith said with an almost sarcastic smile as she fought back fresh tears.
“Like we said.” Willow replied. “The worlds where you are at Buffy’s side both on patrol and in the bedroom are happier, better places to live. Plus we’ve kinda grown attached to having you around after all these centuries.”
“If nothing else you make a great baby sitter for our kids.” Tara said.
“You guys are gonna have kids?” Faith asked in shock.
“I’ll be a grandmother?” Jennifer whispered as she brought a hand up to her mouth in shock.
“One day.” Willow replied with a slight smile as she leaned into Tara’s chest. “It’s still early days for this world.”
Faith simply smiled at the sheer hopeful joy aroused by the fact that Willow and Tara still trusted her to protect their children after all the mistakes they listed. As the Slayer went back to preparing for her date she knew this family that had taken her in so deeply was worth every hardship she had to face to get here.
With a smile she put aside fears of mistakes she would never allow herself to repeat and hurried through her last minute preparations. On her way out the door she grabbed the freshly cleaned, white cowboy hat and hurried to see the blonde she loved.
******************************
“Dawn can you get the door?” Buffy shouted down the hall as she pulled on and zipped up the black, thigh high leather boots faith had bought her. Once done she stood and gave herself a thorough appraisal in the bedroom mirror.
The boots stopped mid thigh and left quite a bit of exposed skin before a tight black miniskirt took over and covered from around the top of her thighs to just below her belly button. She would not be doing any high kicks tonight.
After an expanse of tight abdominal muscles above her belly button she was once again covered with a loose black top that sported an open back and a deeply plunging neck line. Spaghetti straps trailed behind her neck to suspend the ruffles of fabric that covered her breasts. Those ruffles did nothing to cover her modest cleavage.
Her hair and makeup were already done just the way she liked, yet the outfit needed one thing. With a smile Buffy put on the black cowboy hat she got from good old Tector Gorch. Looking herself over once more brought a smile to her face. She and Faith were going to tear up the dance floor at the Bronze.
With a grin she hurried down stairs and was greeted by a sight that stopped her cold. Faith was standing just inside the front door dressed in white.
White leather boots came halfway up her claves. The tightest white leather pants Buffy had ever seen hugged Faith’s toned and muscular curves. Wide slits along the sides ran from the Brunette’s knees up to her waist. The large amount of skin they put on display was only covered by a light crisscrossing of white laces.
The low cut waistline of the pants left faith’s belly button and much of her midriff exposed as well. A tight, form fitting white vest kept faith’s ample breasts in check and a short length leather jacket had slight bulges at the ends of her sleeves. Buffy almost breathed a sigh of relief knowing Faith had brought stakes for both of them this night.
Atop the brunette’s head was the same white cowboy hat she had taken from Lyle. Buffy stood there staring at her fellow Slayer unaware that the reaction in the pit of her stomach was pure, unadulterated lust. She was also completely unaware of the fact that Faith was having the exact same reaction to her outfit.
Off to one side Jennifer, Xander, Dawn, Tara and Willow stood staring at the obviously enamored pair. Xander caught himself staring a little harder than he should but couldn’t stop until Willow elbowed him in the gut.
“My, don’t you two look lovely.” Jennifer said after a moment. The comment seemed to snap the two young women out of the trances they were caught in.
“Yeah you look amazing B. Really beautiful.” Faith said with a nervous smile as her eyes roved over the petite blonde.
“Thanks faith.” Buffy replied. “You look great too. Very sexy.” She finished with a happy grin.
Faith nearly jumped at the way her stomach did a series of cartwheels the second Buffy called her sexy. “We should go B.” Was all Faith could say in response. “Not fair to keep your good looks all to myself.”
Buffy felt her heart fluttering slightly. She wondered why she had never felt so moved by a friend’s compliments before. Maybe it had something to do with the way her Slayer senses seemed to give her a sense of calm whenever Faith was around.
“You two have fun.” Jennifer said. “We’ll watch Dawn until Joyce gets home.”
“Okay.” Buffy whispered, still unable to take her eyes off Faith. The brunette took her hand and they were quickly out the door.
“You gonna need to put some ice on that thing Xander?” Dawn asked with a far too innocent tone.
“Huh, what?” Xander asked before looking down and yelping.
“Oh goddess!” Willow shrieked in surprise at the excessively lewd innuendo behind the question. “Dawn!”
“What?” The young girl asked with a straight face. “I’m sure if I was a teenage boy and saw two girls dressed like that I’d have the same reaction.”
“That’ll be enough of the Halloween costume shenanigans missy.” Tara said.
Jennifer looked from the young girl to her daughter then to the young man who seemed to be surrounded by girls he had no hope of anything beyond simple friendship with. With a smile she put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
“Why don’t you go in the kitchen and make yourself an ice pack Sweetie.” Jennifer said with a smirk of her own.
“Mom!” Tara cried out.
******************************
Buffy recognized the bouncer working the door and she and Faith strolled right up to him. The muscular man smiled at the young woman that had saved his life at least three times that he knew about. With a nod he sent them inside.
Being the doorman to a nightclub in a town overrun by vampires was a dangerous job. He and just about all of his coworkers had quickly come to the conclusion that having the tiny blonde free to come and go as she pleased was more important than any cover charge.
Once in the club Buffy smiled at the beat of the music. The DJ on stage was a regular and always good for putting on something fast to gyrate to. Buffy pulled Faith towards the dance floor and the brunette was happy to comply.
No words were spoken for a long time that night as Buffy and Faith danced along to the steady beat. Each time a guy tried to move in on either of them the other was quick to throw up a hard denial. More often than not these small annoyances served to make one of the Slayers hold the other just a little closer. Arms protectively encircled shoulders as legs moved together in a sinuous, interlocking rhythm.
Faith was more than a little excited that she wasn’t the only one pulling the two of them closer together each time they rejected one or more men. She felt a jolt of excitement and a rush of arousal each and every time Buffy’s thigh accidentally ground into her center. Though she couldn’t admit to herself why, Buffy felt the same sensations as she immersed herself in the primal heat pouring off the brunette.
By the end of the night they were practically grinding into each other on the dance floor. Faith had the time of her life. Judging by the smile plastered across Buffy’s face the brunette wasn’t alone.
******************************
After the dates had ended and most of the Scoobies had gone to sleep for the night Tara found herself in one of her favorite positions. Alone with Willow.
The honey blonde pulled out one of their oversized throw pillows and placed it on the floor beside the bed. She then went over to Willow as the girl was just getting ready to shut down her laptop. Tara draped her arms around Willow’s petite shoulders.
“I’m going to slip into something more comfortable Sweetie.” Tara whispered into Willow’s ear with a breathy, sensual voice. “When I come back I expect you to be naked and kneeling on that pillow next to our bed with your eyes closed.”
Willow’s breath caught in her throat as Tara finished by lightly kissing the side of her head and blowing softly in her ear. The curvy girl then stood up and gave her hips an extra shake with each step as she sauntered over to the door to their bathroom.
Shortly after Tara disappeared into their bathroom Willow picked her jaw up off the floor, hurriedly stripped and jogged over to the pillow. Once on her knees the hacker spread her thighs just wide enough that Tara could have full access for whatever she had planned and eagerly awaited her love’s return.
Inside the bathroom Tara shut the door and pulled out the package she had ordered and hidden under the sink behind a stack of towels. With a gleeful smile she opened the box to reveal the brand new purple
Share. With a delighted grin Tara quickly, but thoroughly washed the sex toy then began to strip all of her clothes off just as she had ordered Willow to do.
Tara then took a much longer look at the new toy she couldn’t wait to use on Willow. The thought of her slender redhead writhing in pleasure with each thrust into Willow’s molten core was enough to make Tara’s nipples stand at attention. The thought that soon every ripple, quiver and shudder from Willow would travel through the Share and deep into her own center worked Tara into a state that eased what she had to do next.
Tara took two fingers and licked them thoroughly. Once she felt they were wet enough she brought them down to her pussy and slowly began to stroke her lips. Tara’s eyes closed and her mind filled with images of her Willow waiting eagerly by their bed. Her eyes clenched shut. Her breasts heaving as she anxiously awaited Tara’s return. Her thighs beginning to squirm as the anticipation built her arousal ever higher.
Before she even knew it Tara had slipped both fingers deep within her center and began massaging her inner walls. She felt her juices beginning to build and quickly withdrew her hand. Tara then picked up the Share and began to slide the ball end of the double dildo passed her slightly damp honey blonde curls and into her pussy.
The curvy girl gasped as she felt the toy within her. The subtle curves of the almost handle shaped silicon ball rubbed against Tara’s walls. Tara’s inner muscles gripped the toy in a way that felt all too pleasurable. She couldn’t wait to share this with her love.
Tara opened her eyes and took in the sight of the gently curved, purple cock protruding out from her crotch. She couldn’t help but let out a slight giggle. With the ground work lain Tara returned to the bedroom were she found Willow naked, eagerly awaiting whatever game was in store for her.
With calm, assured steps Tara walked up to stand right in front of the kneeling redhead. The head of the toy waved back and forth gently in front of Willow’s face. Tara spoke with all the care and love she could put in her voice.
“You can look now Sweetie.” Tara said. Willow cracked open one eye and then both flew wide open in astonishment. She gasped at the sight of the erect toy hovering just beyond the tip of her nose. Tara brought a hand down to tenderly stroke Willow’s cheek as the slender girl stared, transfixed by the phallus emerging from between her love’s legs.
“Happy Chanukah Willow.” Tara said as her hand gently worked its way from Willow’s cheek back through long red locks. Once Tara was cradling the back of Willow’s head she ever so gently applied pressure.
Before Willow could even form a coherent reply to what she was seeing the head and shaft of the Share had already slipped passed her lips. Her eyes fluttered closed briefly before she opened them again. Willow stared up at Tara with a deeply entrancing gaze filled to the brim with lust, love and joy. Then she began using her tongue.
Tara nearly came right there as the sight of Willow gleefully sucking the shaft coupled with the feeling of the curved ball within her hitting the oh so sensitive bundle of nerves along her front wall. The sheer erotic presence Willow exuded lit a fire in Tara’s stomach and set her heart a flutter. With every flick and curl of the redhead’s tongue, with every bob of her head, with every grazing of the back of her throat Willow sent wave after wave of pleasure deep into Tara’s core.
Tara felt both of Willow’s hands grasping her ass cheeks desperately. With a raspy voice she moaned out another order for her petite love.
“Willow, finger yourself.” Tara commanded.
Willow was so enamored by the fact she was giving her girlfriend a blowjob that she almost didn’t hear the command. Fortunately some part of Willow that always seemed to respond to Tara’s needs had heard loud and clear. One of Willow’s hands found its way to the patch of already soaked red curls between her legs and began to apply desperately needed friction.
With each little shake of Willow’s body the shaft of the toy in her mouth sent vibrations deeper and deeper into Tara. The honey blonde knew the end was coming far too soon and elected to change things up before she collapsed on the floor.
With slightly shaky movements Tara pulled the shaft from Willow’s mouth and knelt down to kiss her. The redhead moaned into the clashing of lips. Tongues dueled in a sensual dance that lasted far longer than it took Tara to settle herself enough for what she had planned next. As they parted Willow almost began to plead with Tara to let her continue sucking the shaft of their new toy.
“On the bed Sweetie.” Tara said as she climbed up and laid out on their mattress face and cock up. “I want you to ride me.”
A wide smile broke out across Willow’s face as she understood. Without hesitation Willow straddled Tara’s thighs. Before taking the next plunge the slender girl gently grasped the shaft of the toy. Once she saw Tara look down at her with a curious frown Willow pressed the phallus against her stomach. The tip of the head reached past her belly button. Willow smiled at the way the not so subtle positioning of the toy made Tara’s eyes widen. With a smile Willow spoke for the first time since Tara began their lovemaking session.
“I want you inside me Baby.” Willow begged before raising her hips to hover her sopping wet center over the tip of the purple shaft.
Tara locked eyes with Willow once as they clasped their hands together. She replied with the one truth she knew above all others. The one fact she could always depend on.
“I love you Willow.” Tara swore just before she bucked her hips upward and rammed the silicon dick deep inside of Willow.
The redhead gasped and threw her head back in pure ecstasy as Tara filled her. With a shudder Willow slowly began rocking her hips up and down until she began to pick up speed. The feeling of the shaft sliding in and out as she bounced up and down atop Tara was nearly enough to send her over the edge. The fact that she and Tara had never let go of each other’s hands only heightened their connection.
Moments filled with pleasure dragged on as Tara continued to thrust into Willow and Willow in turn rocked her hips back and forth as the dildo stirred within her. The pressure and rapture that had been building within Willow since Tara ordered her to strip finally reached its limit. With a shudder that came in waves Willow’s eyes clenched shut and every inch of her body shook as the orgasm cascaded through her slender frame.
With every wiggle, shake and tremor in Willow Tara was inundated with pleasure. As Willow came hard on the purple dildo her bucking hips sent Tara over the edge. Tara bucked wildly in return as Willow rode her passed the breaking point. The almost continuous shaking of the toy turned each aftershock into its own little orgasm. It wasn’t long before Willow lost count of how many times the pleasure tore through her body and stripped away her ability to think and speak. She collapsed atop Tara with the Share still inside each of them.
“Sweetie.” Tara begged as the little tremors from Willow continued to torment her. Willow caught on after a few moments and went to take out the toy. It easily slid out of both their bodies due in no small part to the copious amount of juices their lovemaking always produced. With a wicked grin Willow brought the ball end that had been inside Tara up to her mouth and licked away every last trace of Tara’s essence.
“I love you Tara.” Willow promised as she put the toy down and nestled into Tara’s chest and neck. With a relieved sigh Tara brought their blankets up to cover their naked bodies.
“I know Sweetie.” Tara whispered as she felt Willow nod off with a purely contented grin on her face. “Always.”
