(Author's Note: Sorry! There's just been so much Crazy-Life-Stuff going on with me that I haven't updated. But when I signed on to FanFiction.Net and saw how far down the list I was, I knew something had to be done! So, here it is, chapter 15 for Of Stakes And Spells!)
***WARNING: This chapter is Rated 'R' because of adult content. It contains scenes of Physical Romance between two consensual women in Love, if this bothers you: please don't continue (Go read some 'Blues Clues' FanFiction instead)!***

Willow awoke slowly to the feeling of someone's body wrapped lovingly around hers. She felt gentle fingers combing through her hair, and soft kisses on her forehead. Willow smiled.
"Good Morning Beautiful." Buffy whispered. Willow raised herself a little, and looked at the blonde beneath her. Buffy smiled back.
"Morning Gorgeous." Willow leaned in slowly, and gently kissed the lips in front of her. They still tasted like Strawberries and Vanilla. As she pulled back, she noticed the slightly darkened circles around Buffy's eyes. Frowning slightly, Willows asked
"How'd you sleep last night?" Buffy blushed, but smiled.
"Like a woman in love." She cupped the Witch's cheek, and smiled. Willow kissed her softly, and replaced her smile with Resolve-Face. Buffy winced, and turned away {Busted!}
"Buffy . . ." Willow started, almost warningly, "Did you sleep at all last night?" Willow was worried that she'd been the cause of the Slayer's inability to rest. Oz had pushed her away at night, sometimes saying she was too clinging in her sleep.
"No." Buffy whispered, fighting the tingling she felt in her eyes.
"Why not?" Willow asked, slightly softened at the water she saw collecting in her Lover's eyes. {Wow, Buffy and I are Lovers!}
"I was so scared!" Buffy sobbed, lightly. Willow quickly grabbed her up in a tight embrace, kissing her cheeks, asking what had scared her so much. "You!" Buffy sobbed back, "I was so scared that I'd wake up and you'd be Evil . . ."
"What do you mean, 'Evil'?"
"It happens every time! I fall in love, we sleep together, I wake up alone, and the next time I see them they're acting nice and sweet . . . but then I find out they're evil!" Willow held her tighter, realizing that what she said was true. Angel, then Parker, had really left scars on this amazing woman.
"Buffy, is that really why?" Willow was close to tears herself. Buffy nodded.
"I thought that if I stayed up, then I could make sure you didn't leave, and then you wouldn't change . . ." Buffy whispered, sounding almost hysterical, and the Witch realized just how scared she was. "Angel knew me so well, and you saw how crazy he made my life after we'd . . . well . . . - You know! I was so worried that it would happen with you! I can't lose you Will, you mean the world to me!"
"Shh, Buffy it's okay!" Willow whispered, "I'm okay, I'm right here, nothing's changed! I'm happier then I used to be, but that's all . . . I promise." Willow held her tightly, and kissed her cheeks. She wiped away Buffy's tears, and told her everything was fine.
"I'm sorry I acted like this . . ." Buffy whispered, sounding so ashamed it broke Willow's heart. "I wish I didn't have all this stupid baggage." Willow took Buffy's face in her hands, and looked her in the eyes.
"Buffy. Don't ever say that. It's what people get from living, and I don't like the sound of the alternative." Both smiled, and Willow continued, "Its part of what makes you who you are, I would never want to change that." She kissed her head softly, and smiled down at her.
"I've said it before, and I'll say it again . . . I Love You, Willow." Buffy kissed her lips softly, and felt the witch smile.
"You may have said it before, but I think it's a little different now."
"I've meant it for a while, Will." Willow frowned in confusion.
"Since when?" Buffy smiled slyly, and pinched the tip of her tongue between her teeth. "Buffy!" Willow warned, Buffy smiled and caved.
"You remember when I told you that I hadn't lied to you in a long time?" Willow nodded. "This is what I was talking about. When Her-Evil-Wolfishness was still in Sunnydale, and it was the third night of the full moon, just before Oz and I when to go look for her . . . do you remember what I'd said, right when I left?" Willow frowned as she tried to remember. {Buffy had asked if I was going to be alright, if I needed anything before she left . . . Oh!} Willow remembered now.
"You thought I meant it in a friendly way, didn't you?" Willow was still sort of wide-eyed over this revelation. "Well, now you know." Buffy kissed her lips, and held her tightly, enjoying the fact that she now had the freedom to show the Witch how much she loved her. She slowly turned them so that Willow was below her. Just as the Slayer was really getting started something came to mind . . . {Wait a second!} Buffy thought, and quickly stopped kissing Willow.
"Huh?" Willow asked, very dazed.
"Your turn." Buffy stated simply. Willow was still a bit too dazed to understand, which was easily visible by the look on her face. "You have to explain your little cryptic thingy!" Willow now looked even more confused. "Remember?! The thing about Xander?!" Willow shook her head, clearing it of distraction, as she realized what Buffy was talking about.
"Uh, Buffy? I'm not so sure I can tell you that just yet . . ." Willow said trying to worm her way out of having to explain all of this. Buffy was having nothing of it. She put on her version of Resolve-Face, aptly titled Slayer-Intimidation-Face. "Buffy-"
"Will!" Buffy said, showing she wasn't going to budge.
"Buffy, this isn't that easy! This is some scary stuff that I don't think you're ready to hear . . . I just don't want to put too much pressure on you, or freak you out. Buffy, I don't think you're ready to hear this yet . . ." Willow finished with a frown, hoping Buffy would understand. She looked slightly hurt, and a bit nervous, but she nodded just the same.
"Okay, Will." She kissed Willow again, and ran her fingers through the beautiful red locks. "You're gonna tell me at some point right?" Willow smiled, eyes still closed, and nodded. Buffy kissed her nose, her cheeks, the corner of her mouth, and inward. Within a few seconds, Willow was gasping for breath, and her heart was racing. Buffy was gently sucking on her lower lip, lavishing in the taste.
"Buffy!" the Witch whispered, voice low and throaty. Buffy laughed huskily, and kept kissing her, moving down to nibble on her neck. {God Willow, I've wanted to do this for weeks!} Buffy thought, remembering their little tickle-fest. She lightly sucked on her pulse-point, and nibbled her earlobe, causing Willow to gasp. Buffy felt hands on her hips pulling her closer, demanding contact. She smiled into the kiss, and ran her tongue along the Witch's lip. She got a nice deep moan in response, punctuated with a jump in Willow's hips.
"Mmm, Willow, you feel so good . . ." she ran her hands down Willow's sides, coming to rest on low on her lover's hips. Willow wrapped her arms around the blonde's neck, and groaned. Buffy laughed, and kissed her collar-bone with renewed vigor. The Witch's back arched, and she wrapped a leg around Buffy's. Buffy was so shocked by this she stopped her gentle ministrations.
"What's wrong?" Willow asked, opening her eyes. Seeing her leg draped over Buffy seemed to jolt her out of her heated trace. She blushed, and tried to pull it back. Before she could, Buffy dove into an impassioned kiss, and place a hand over her thigh, stopping all movement. Her tongue quickly ran over the Witch's lip, entering the warm mouth she loved so much, glad when it was met by Willow's. Her hand ran over the soft skin of the Witch's leg, and over her butt. Buffy groaned at the contact, and kissed the redhead deeply.
Willow pulled the blonde closer with her leg, and felt Buffy run her hand over the underside of her thigh. The Witch shivered violently, and her back ached right off the bed. Buffy raised her leg so that once again it was pressed into Willow's center. Willow gave and impassioned cry, and Buffy kissed her almost fiercely. Suddenly, they stopped. Both turned to face the night stand as they heard the familiar sound of the phone ringing.
"You've GOT to be KIDDING!" Buffy groaned, burring her face in Willow's shoulder. Willow kissed her forehead, and moved her leg so that the Slayer could answer the phone. "I don't care if it's the apocalypse, there is *no* reason for anyone to call us RIGHT NOW!" Buffy quickly grabbed the phone, and clicked the talk button.
"Hello?" the anger in her voice obvious. But a second later, it was gone. She was smiling, and laughed. "Hi Tara, It's me." Willow giggled, and pulled the covers over herself, leaning close so she could listen in.
"I j-just thought I'd call at 9:45 incase my clock was off and you w-were planning bust my door down at 10:01." Buffy laughed, and glanced at Willow smiling.
"Good plan. But you would have been lucky, Will and I are still in bed . . ." she brushed some hair off Willow's forehead and back behind her ear. It was obvious that she was still 99% focused on her lover . . .
"Oh! I-I-I'm sorry! Did I w-wake you?" she sounded really worried.
"No, we've been up for a while, we just hadn't really gotten out of bed, ya know?" Willow blushed, and buried her face in the crook of Buffy shoulder.
"Yeah, last night m-must have t-taken a lot out of you." Willow had to cover her mouth to keep from giggling. Buffy nudged her lightly, and continued.
"It did." Buffy said smiling at Willow, "I hope this isn't a call to cancel our breakfast plans? I'm dying to hear the hero's side of the story . . ."
"It's nothing special . . ." Buffy could practically hear Tara's blush over the phone. It made her smile.
"Nothing special! I bet it'll be the next Odyssey! People will tell it to their children for generations and generations. Besides, the Modest-Hero's-Tale is always the lease exaggerated, and therefore the most accurate! You seem to fit that description . . ." she could tell that Tara was blushing again. She felt Willow kick her gently, and realized she had to get off the phone. "Why don't we meet down in the student's center at 10:15, in half an hour, that way the two of us don't show up in our pajamas?"
"Yeah, I'm not quite ready to go either . . ." Willow could tell this was a lie. She'd bet all the books in Giles' library that Tara had been ready for 20 minuets and only called because she was so excited (or wanted to make sure that Buffy hadn't died on the way back to their room).
"Okay then! See you there!"
"B-Bye!" Buffy hung up the phone and snuggled back under the sheets. Her hands quickly found Willow's hips, and pulled her close. She was surprised when she felt her friend pull away.
"What's wrong, Baby?" Buffy asked, worried. Willow's head snapped back to look at her, though her face wasn't harsh as the Slayer had expected. It was smiling.
"You just called me baby . . ." Willow whispered. Buffy hadn't even realized she had done it. It had just slipped out. {And why not?} the Slayer's other voice said, {It's perfect for her, isn't it?} Buffy nodded, reaching out her arms, asking to hold her. Willow caved, and nestled up to her blonde beauty. "Can I call you sweety?" she asked in her little-girl voice.
"Only if I can call you that . . ." Buffy said, kissing her girlfriend's forehead. Willow nodded, and pulled back the sheets, taking one with her as she got out of bed. "What's wrong?" Willow turned back to the Slayer, confusion written on her face.
"We have to get ready. You told Tara we'd be meeting her in half an hour." Willow opened her closet, and searched for her bathrobe. Finding it she dropped the sheet, resulting in a growl from Buffy. Willow quickly slipped it on, her face as red as her hair, and reached under it to take off her undergarments.
"Mmm, now come back to bed Just Like That!" Buffy told her playfully. Willow balled up her sheet and tossed it at the Slayer. "What?! You can't blame me for enjoying the lovely morning view . . ." Willow just shook her head, and went to her desk, gathering her shower stuff. As she finished packing up her carrying case, Willow felt familiar arms wrap around her middle, and a Buffy's voice whisper in her ear.
"You are so beautiful Will." Buffy sighed, kissing her shoulder, "I love you so much . . ." Willow reached up, and wrapped her arms around Buffy's neck. Buffy pulled the redhead even closer to her, and began to suck on the Witch's pulse point. Slowly and gently, Buffy slipped a hand into her girlfriend's robes, softly tickling her stomach with her fingertips. Willow moaned, and Buffy moved her hand lower. Buffy froze. Willow had stopped her with a hand on her wrist, looking up at her apologetically.
"Buffy," Willow said quietly, "I can't. Not yet, okay? We will, and soon - I really want to - but I just can't yet. Okay?" Buffy nodded. She didn't quite understand the terms she had just agreed to, but she never wanted to pressure Willow. She smiled, and pulled her hand out of the robe, hugging her tightly. "Come on, Slayer, we have to get you ready for your date with Tara!" Willow giggled. Buffy grabbed her robe of the back of her chair, picked up her bathroom stuff, and off they went.

[Author's Note #2: I got far less guesses than I thought I would for the last chapter . . . 'You make me sad, Sir Knight' best describes my feelings about that! I'll give you a hint, and tell you that the two guesses were VERY close, and one was partly correct! If you guess it right and leave your E-Mail address I'll send you a choice of SPOILERS or something else at the request of the Writing Style Queen (Or King, if that's the case). ~VixenRaign~]
