Part 5
========== BtVS ==========
Buffy and Willow made it through the rest of the day without ever seeing Cordelia. By the time Buffy had finished kissing Willow's tears away and they left the restroom, Cordelia's troupe of followers was long gone as well.
After school they met up once again with Xander and Giles. The former was still wiping away the tears of laughter sparked when Willow had clued him in on the post-computer lab events. Xander had absolutely no sympathy for the insensitive brunette- she'd been a pain in his and Willow's ass for many years. He only wished he could have been there to see Cordelia's face when Buffy had bitch-slapped her. That had to rank among the very top of his fantasies, the non-sexual ones anyway... probably right under winning millions of dollars.
Willow was both relieved and disappointed that Xander hadn't been surprised by her relationship with Buffy. Relieved that he took it well, but disappointed that she didn't get to see him stammer and stutter the way he did when he was shocked by something.
The three teen's laughter was cut short when Giles exclaimed, "Good Lord!"
"What?" Buffy asked, exasperated when Giles silently re-read the passage in his book without explaining himself.
Things moved rapidly as Giles explained things. He'd figured out the who, what, and when; Willow's historical research gave him the why; and it was Xander who had figured out the where. They saddled up, stopping by Buffy's for supplies, where she'd been accosted by her mother, who wanted to meet her new friend. She'd had to promise to bring Willow by after they were done 'hanging out' at the Bronze. If only she knew...
Finally, they made it to the Bronze, only to find it closed up and locked.
"Aargh! It's locked!" Buffy said.
Giles said, "We're too late!"
Buffy defended herself, "I didn't know I was gonna get interrogated!"
Xander asked, "Can't you break it down? "
Buffy looked embarrassed, "No, not that thing. Steel is a little tougher that cinderblock. Um... You guys try the back entrance, and I'll find my own way."
Giles looked at Willow and Xander, "Right. Come on."
Buffy said, "Uh, wait! Guys! Here!" She handed Giles her bag, and then impulsively pulled Willow into a brief, but deep kiss. "Be safe!" she whispered urgently to Willow.
"You too," Willow replied, her emotions evident in her voice.
Buffy turned back to a smiling Xander and a blushing Giles and said, "You get the exit cleared and the people out. That's all! Don't go Wild Bunch on me."
Giles nodded and said, "Uh, see you inside, then."
Buffy made her way to an upper window and broke it open and crawled in. She could hear a deep voice booming, "I feel the Master's strength growing!"
Buffy moved in and looked down, seeing a big ugly vamp on the stage. She could see the mark Giles had described on his forehead.
The big ugly said, "I feel him rising. Every soul brings him closer! I need another!"
Buffy said to herself, "The Vessel."
Buffy noticed another vamp on the upper level with her. He noticed her as well and growled at her, attracting the attention from the big ugly on the stage.
Buffy noticed that he was holding Cordelia Chase, preparing to bite. She ran over and dusted the vamp on the catwalk with her, and shouted, "Oh, I'm sorry, were you in the middle of something?"
The big ugly shouted, "Who are you?"
"I'm the one who's gonna kick your ass!" she said, knowing that would piss him off and distract him from killing Cordelia while she made her way down to him. There was a little part of her mind that wanted to let him finish with her before she interfered, but she couldn't do that. No matter how enticing the thought was.
She jumped over the railing, spinning though the air and landing on a pool table. A vampire attacked from her right and Buffy did a handstand, grabbing a pool cue on the way, and then flipped over off of the table onto the floor. As she landed, she thrust the cue into the attacking vampire and dusted him.
Buffy said, "Okay, Vessel boy." She paused to remove her jacket before continuing, "You want blood?"
Big ugly said, "I want yours!" he dropped Cordelia as he continued "Only yours!"
Buffy shrugged and said, "Works for me." She did a series of cartwheels up onto the stage, and immediately spin-kicked the big ugly into a pile of chairs. Big ugly growled as he came back at her, swinging for her head, but she ducked the punch and popped up behind him. He tried a backhand punch, but she grabbed onto his arm and kicked him three times in the stomach before he pulled away. She pulled out a stake and lunged at him, but he blocked the lunge, knocking the stake from her grip. He grabbed her and lifted her up into the air, throwing her into a pile of boxes.
At that point, Giles, Willow and Xander finally managed to break in.
Giles said, "Hurry!" and Xander ran in to see what was going on. He saw Buffy get up from where she'd been thrown, and then turned his attention to the crowd.
"C'mon! Let's go! C'mon! C'mon! C'mon! C'mon!" Xander called out to the people in a low voice, gesturing to the back door.
Giles guided the people to the back door, whispering, "Hurry up! Come on! Through this door! Come on! This way!"
Back on stage, Buffy landed a backhand punch on Big Ugly's face, knocking him into another pile of stuff and dazing him. She turned to the back of the club when she noticed the people were leaving, and saw a vampire grab Xander. She thought quickly and grabbed a cymbal from a drum kit. She threw it at the vampire like a Frisbee.
Xander saw the cymbal coming and ducked just in time for it to decapitate the vampire.
Even in this situation, Xander couldn't resist a joke. He said, "Head's up!"
Buffy heard the joke and couldn't resist a chuckle. Just then, big ugly grabbed her from behind.
Realizing who Buffy was, Big ugly said, "I always wanted to kill a Slayer!"
In the back, Giles and Willow were still guiding people out, when Giles said, "We're going to have to open the front as well!"
At that moment a blond Vampire leapt onto him from behind, knocking him to the floor.
Back on stage, Buffy heard Big ugly intone, "Master! Taste of this... and be free!" Just as he was about to move in on her neck, Buffy threw her head back smashing his face, knocking him off of her and back to the wall. She turned around and asked, "How'd it taste?"
In the back, Giles was struggling with the blond vamp. Xander's attention was on the fight on stage. Willow grabbed a jar of holy water out of her pocket and shouted, "Get off of him!"
The vamp looked up at her, evil laughter on her face as though she thought she was unstoppable.
Willow threw the jar of water right in the vamp's face.
The vampire screamed as the water burned her flesh. She jumped up and ran out of the club screaming all the way.
Back on stage, Buffy grabbed a microphone stand and held it like a javelin.
Big ugly laughed and taunted her "You forget, metal can't hurt me."
Buffy said, "There's something you forgot about, too. Sunrise!"
She threw the stand at the window behind Big Ugly. He ducked as the window shattered. A bright light streamed in through it and Big ugly shielded his face with his hands, expecting to be burned. He stopped when he noticed that it was only a bright lamp.
In the meantime, Buffy found the stake she dropped on the stage and picked it up. Buffy lunged at him from behind and rammed the stake home, saying, "It's in about nine hours, moron!"
Big ugly staggered off of the stage, falling to the floor below and exploding into ash.
Buffy stared down at Big ugly's ashes. Two vampires had grabbed Xander and she lifted her gaze to meet theirs. The vampires panicked and ran.
Giles walked over to Buffy and said, "I take it it's over."
Willow walked up to Buffy asking, "Did we win?"
Buffy grabbed her into a hug and began to kiss her soundly.
Giles averted his gaze and turned to Xander, saying, "Well, we averted the Apocalypse."
Xander said, "Well, we should get points for that," his eyes still locked on the kissing girls. Finally he managed to meet Giles disapproving gaze and said, "One thing's for sure: nothing's ever gonna be the same."
Buffy finally broke the kiss. "That's for sure," she said as she looked into Willow's eyes.
Willow blushed and dropped her eyes, but couldn't keep the huge grin off of her face.
========== BtVS ==========
"Can I come over tomorrow?" Buffy asked.
"You don't wanna come in for a little while?" Willow asked.
Meeting Buffy's mom hadn't been as bad as Willow had feared. Of course, Ms. Summers didn't know about the Slaying, or the fact that Willow was Buffy's girlfriend, so there had been no real pressure. Not that Willow didn't feel the pressure anyway... but Ms. Summers had just asked about school, and Willow's parents and siblings, of which there were none. Siblings, that is; though it could almost be applied to her parents as well.
Buffy had been just as nervous as Willow about the meeting. She didn't want to hide her and Willow's relationship, not even from her mom, but she didn't need to deal with that conversation tonight. She felt that averting the apocalypse should warrant a pass, this time. As to Willow's invitation- again, going in that house would be a serious threat to her self control right now. She never really admitted it, even to herself, but Slaying made her... hungry, and not just for food!
"I... I want to, Willow. I just..." Buffy was embarrassed by her overwhelming desire. She didn't want Willow to think she only wanted to get into her pants... "And how surreal is that thought?" she asked herself. "I guess we know who's the butch in this relationship..."
"You just what?" Willow asked, thinking, hoping she knew the answer.
"I'm kinda... well... I can't help it Willow," she complained, "You just... excite me..." Buffy lowered her eyes and hoped that Willow wouldn't take offense.
Willow couldn't help being both amazed and overjoyed that she could make someone feel this way. She'd had the same thought last night, and then all these negative thoughts had come in; like maybe Buffy was just using that as an excuse to push her away. But the events of the day, and the look she'd seen in the blonde's eyes just now convinced her that Buffy's desire for her was genuine, and powerful. She needed Buffy to know that she felt the same way. She had committed herself to this, despite the fear and nervousness that were buzzing inside her
"You know... earlier today... that thing? Where you... punched through the wall?" Willow started.
Buffy was thrown by the non-sequitor. She cocked her head, not sure where Willow was going with this.
"It made me... I felt all... fluttery, a- and warm... down in my tummy."
Buffy's eyes trailed down to where Willow was rubbing her hand in a tight circle low down her torso, almost just above her... Buffy looked back up at Willow's face, taking in the dilated eyes, the flushed cheeks, the way she kept licking her lips... "Oh! you mean..."
"Yeah. And it's kinda... not gone away. All day," Willow continued.
Buffy's eyes widened and she gulped loudly. "Oh! I, uh, kinda know what you mean..." she whispered.
"I- I'd really like it if you came inside, uh you know. For a little while." Willow's voice was high and breathy as her chest heaved and her pulse pounded. She was terribly nervous, never having done anything remotely like this in her life. She was inviting Buffy in to have sex, "Make love," she mentally corrected herself. She knew it was probably too soon to tell Buffy she was in love with her, after all they had only known each other two days, and her heart was rather naÔve in such matters. She'd only ever thought she was in love with Xander before this, and that feeling was a candle compared to the fire burning inside her right now.
Buffy had been thinking of running home, again, and once again meeting with Mr. Shower Massage- just like the night before. She couldn't believe how turned-on she got just from kissing Willow. No boy had ever turned her into this mess of raw, emotional need before. She made one more token protest, wanting Willow to be certain. "Cause, if I go in there, clothes are coming off!" she thought with a blush.
"Willow, are you sure? This is a pretty huge step, and I don't want you to feel pressured in any way..." she started.
"Buffy, the only pressure I feel is coming from me. If you don't want..." Willow realized that she might be pushing the matter and asking Buffy to do something she might not feel ready for, after all it had only been a couple of days and just cause Willow thought she was in love with her didn't mean Buffy was necessarily feeling as strongly...
Buffy didn't know she was cutting off Willow's internal rambling. She didn't know that Willow was on the verge of letting her insecurities once again overwhelm her. She just knew she had to kiss her, right now.
"Unhh... that was... a yes?" Willow panted when they both came up for air.
"Yes, yes please," Buffy said. She felt on fire; now that the decision was made, her arousal spiked and her need became immediate.
She was going to loose her virginity tonight, and to a girl! Three days ago felt like a completely different lifetime to Willow right now. She was glad she had already unlocked the door, because her hands were shaking as she reached for the knob.
They made it in the house and Buffy couldn't resist making out for a little bit up against the door again. There was just something about being able to press her body against Willow's, really press in for maximal contact. She kissed her slowly, suckling her lower lip for a bit before moving to the upper. Then gently opening her jaw and moving into her warm mouth, exploring lightly with her tongue, as if wanting to touch every part of her.
Willow whimpered as she opened up to Buffy's gentle exploration. She reached with her own tongue, wrapping it around and over Buffy's, not so much wrestling as twining, wanting to taste and feel her magnificent girlfriend.
Buffy moaned a little herself as she felt Willow's tongue moving against her own. Kissing Willow was so different than she'd ever experienced before. It wasn't just that she was a girl, though that made it softer, smoother, more gentle. It was the hesitancy, the way Willow would tentatively reach out to touch her; it drove her mad, like she was being teased- though she knew it was only because Willow was inexperienced and shy, none the less it drove her nuts, in a good way. In a way that aroused her passion unlike any boy had ever come close to matching.
Willow felt tingles run up and down her body and her skin shivered into Goosebumps as Buffy ran her hands down Willow's sides and back around over her butt. Feeling the blonde girl gently squeezing her tush made her whimper even harder, and it felt like she was both on fire, and melting between her legs.
Willow's squirming against Buffy's pelvis lit her like a match. She had to pull away, breathing heavily to regain a modicum of control. "Willow! Bedroom?" she asked, not wanting either of them to have their first time up against a door. "Second or third time, maybe..." she thought, then immediately chastised herself, "Bad Buffy!" she thought.
Willow's pulse quickened even further. "Oh, gosh! Bedroom... we're really gonna do this!" She looked at Buffy's needy expression and imagined her own was similar. She nodded and took Buffy's hand, leading her to her bedroom.
========== BtVS ==========
"Buffy, I... I don't know what... I've never done this before..." Willow said as they stood next to her bed.
"Second thoughts?" Buffy asked, worried, "Cause it's ok..."
Willow stepped closer to her girlfriend, her hands on Buffy's hips, sliding down so that she was cupping the sides of her butt. "N- no. No second thoughts, just..." she dropped her eyes, embarrassed. "I don't wanna d- disappoint you," she whispered.
Buffy smiled and shook her head. "Willow, you couldn't possibly disappoint me." She tipped the redhead's chin up with her hand, stared her in the eyes and said, "I've never done this before either."
Willow's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh... I... you mean, with another girl?"
Buffy smiled even wider, "No Willow. I mean that I'm about to give you my virginity, just like I imagine you are about to give me yours."
"You've never?" Willow asked, somewhat shocked. "But you're so beautiful!"
Buffy blushed lightly. "I've had boyfriends, Willow. I've even made out with girls a time or two. That doesn't mean I ever went all the way," Buffy said, slightly chiding her girlfriend.
Willow was embarrassed again, "I didn't... I mean I'd never..."
"Willow!" Buffy stopped the babbling redhead before she could get too far. "Willow, the truth is... I've never wanted anyone..." she suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and had to fight the tears that were threatening to form in her eyes. "No one has ever made me feel the way you do, Willow." Buffy dropped her gaze and opened her heart up, trusting Willow not to hurt her. "This is crazy, Willow."
Willow became alarmed, "What?"
Buffy forced herself to look into Willow's eyes again. "How I feel. God! I've only known you for barely two days... and what I feel..." She couldn't stop her eyes from welling up now. She felt stupid, but she couldn't keep this inside, not if she was going to be making love to this beautiful girl in a couple of minutes. "I thought I was in love before... it ended badly, but for a while there, I really thought I loved someone, and... it didn't compare, Willow."
Willow was getting choked up herself, hearing Buffy speak the words that were in her own heart. "I thought I loved Xander, for years... it was way more than a crush, but it... like you said, Buffy. It doesn't compare. I- I was afraid to say it... I didn't want you to think it was just cause you're the first person to see me... like that." She was impressed that she'd actually managed to say it out loud, but she too couldn't hold that in any longer, especially after Buffy's admission.
Buffy couldn't believe this. It was almost too perfect that they could both feel the same way so soon.
Seeing Buffy's startled look, Willow opened herself up completely too. "Buffy, I'm excited and scared and... and I want you so bad right now that I think I'll bust. I don't know what to do, and I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, and I never want to do that... cause... cause... cause I l- love you Buffy. That's what I feel. And I need you to touch me now or I think I'll die!"
Buffy pulled Willow against her and began to kiss her hard. At the same time she undid the buttons on Willow's overalls straps, pushing the denim down so that she could get her hands under Willow's shirt and feel the skin of her stomach.
Willow broke the kiss, pulling back to get at Buffy's top. Her hands were shaking as she tried to undo the buttons.
Buffy pulled away as Willow was rapidly becoming frustrated. She grabbed Willow's hands and stilled them.
Willow whimpered, needing to touch Buffy's bare skin- her need was causing her to ache in her very bones.
"Willow, take off your shoes and socks," Buffy said as she toed of her own shoes and began unbuttoning her shirt.
Willow quickly did as she was asked, and then looked up at Buffy, her eyes caught by the glimpse of Buffy's bra as the blond undid her shirt.
Buffy finished unbuttoning her shirt and slipped it off her shoulders, letting it fall to the floor. She smiled when she saw Willow's eyes rapidly traversing her revealed skin and bra. "Take off your shirt, Willow." Buffy said, her voice deep and hoarse with arousal.
It took a moment for Buffy's words to filter through Willow's lust addled mind. She blushed deeply, but did as Buffy asked, pulling her shirt up over her head, revealing her plain white cotton bra. She had to resist the urge to cover herself with her hands. Her eyes glazed over as Buffy reached behind her and undid her bra. She shrugged it off and dropped it to the floor beside her, but Willow didn't see it. All she could see were Buffy's perfect breasts, topped by milk chocolate colored nipples that were standing at attention. "Gosh!" she breathed, unable to take her eyes off of them.
Buffy blushed at the look of desire on Willow's face.
"Can I..." Willow asked, lifting her hands.
Buffy gulped, "Please. But, first..."
Willow realized she was falling behind on the disrobing thing they had going here. "Oh, sorry," she said, blushing again, or still- she wasn't sure.
It was Buffy's turn to gasp in desire as Willow shyly uncovered her small breasts. Like the rest of her torso, her breasts were milk-white, with the veins beneath the skin showing as feint blue lines. Her nipples were coral pink and were very erect also. "They're beautiful, Willow, just like you," Buffy breathed.
Willow couldn't explain what it was about Buffy's breasts, they were just breasts- she'd seen many of the in the locker room after gym, heck she even had a pair, though they weren't nearly as big as Buffy's. Still, there was something about them that made her want to touch them. The urge was overwhelming and she didn't try to resist it any longer.
Buffy arched her back in pleasure as Willow began to softly stroke the skin of her breasts. It was obvious that she didn't know what she was doing, but the gentle, lingering touch was still wonderful. So soft, not like the one boy she'd ever allowed to see her breasts. He had kneaded them like they were pizza dough or something.
Willow's breath caught as Buffy began to fondle her breasts. Unlike her unsure touch, Buffy seemed to have a clearer idea of what to do. Willow emulated her, cupping and gently squeezing the flesh, tracing around the nipple and gently tweaking it. The first time Buffy pinched her nipples lightly, Willow almost collapsed. There was a shock of pleasure that traveled straight south and right between her legs.
Buffy needed more. "Willow, please take off your overalls." She said as she pulled back from the redhead's questing fingers. She shed her own pants quickly. Then she thought, "I can't wait any more!" and shimmied out of her panties as well.
Willow looked back up as she stepped out of her overalls to see Buffy completely naked before her.
Buffy had to smile as she saw Willow's eyes nearly bug out of her head. "You ok?" she asked.
"Gosh! Oh my Gosh!" Willow whispered, her eyes locked onto the small patch of light brown fur above Buffy's naked sex. "You shave... down there?" she asked in surprise.
From the few copper curls Buffy could see sticking out of Willow's panties leg elastic, she could tell that Willow did not shave her 'bikini line.' Rather than answer the question, Buffy asked, "Willow, would you..." she gestured at Willow's panties.
"Oh gosh! Sorry," she whispered, chastising herself for not keeping up. This time when she looked up, Buffy was right there.
They both groaned as they embraced, skin to skin for the first time. Buffy guided Willow to the bed as they nipped at each other's lips.
Within moments they were lying side by side, kissing and touching each other. Buffy's hand moved lower and lower as she luxuriated in the feel of Willow's milky flesh.
Willow emulated Buffy's touches, not having any idea what to do herself. She just knew if Buffy was feeling half as good as she was making Willow feel, everything would be ok.
"I'd like us... to do it... together... Ok?" Buffy asked, panting after breaking a kiss.
Willow nodded, then said, "What do I do?"
Buffy said, "Just do what you do to yourself. I'll tell you if I need it different, and you tell me, ok?"
Willow closed her eyes in embarrassment as she admitted, "I've never... I... myself... I mean..."
Buffy stopped her caress of Willow's lower abdomen. "Never?" she squeaked.
Willow shook her head, too embarrassed to talk.
Buffy was amazed. "How did you deal with it? Didn't you ever get, worked up?"
Willow felt a little better not to hear any anger or disappointment in Buffy's voice. Only surprise. "I just had to wait and it would go away, eventually." She grimaced a bit as she admitted, "Of course I'd be really cranky for a while..."
Buffy laughed at that. "I bet!"
Willow said, "I know where everything is, I mean... I know anatomy and biology... I... I've just always been... too embarrassed," she confessed.
Buffy slid her hand down to Willow's fur, causing her to groan loudly. She felt the wetness heavily coating the lips of her sex and scooped some up to rub over her clitoris. With her other hand she covered Willow's hand on her stomach and pushed it down, repeating the maneuver. As she circled her own clit with Willow's fingers she moaned out, "Right there! Feel that?"
Willow was torn between her own feelings of pleasure at Buffy's hands- pleasure she'd never felt before- and the wonder of touching Buffy in this amazingly intimate way. "Y- yes! I feel it!" she said with a gasp.
Buffy said, "try to do what I do to you to me... if that makes any sense." Then, since she couldn't ask Willow how she liked to be touched, she just began to do what she liked herself. It must have been good enough, cause Willow was moaning loudly the whole time, getting louder and louder as they continued, rubbing her clitoris for a while and then moving down to stroke her lips.
Willow tried to match Buffy's rhythm. The feelings she was having were amazing! She felt like everything inside of her was tightening up more and more.
Buffy began to speed up as she heard Willow chanting, "Oh God, Oh God, Oh God!"
Willow barely heard Buffy when she said, "This is gonna hurt... a little... at first" Then she felt a tearing pain inside her and she cried out.
Buffy kept her finger inside Willow, but used her thumb to stimulate her clit some more, quickly distracting her from any pain she felt.
Willow took a moment to recover before she emulated the Slayer, only there was no cry of pain from her.
Buffy gasped as she felt Willow's finger inside her. Her hymen had been torn during cheerleading practice years ago during some particularly aggressive high kicks and splits. She began to slide in and out of Willow slowly, paying attention to see if she was past the pain.
The low "ooooo' sound coming from her throat seemed to indicate all was well.
Willow was amazed by the feel of Buffy's finger sliding in and out of her. She could feel it inside her, somewhere she'd never felt anything at all before.
Buffy was getting close, she cried out "Two finger's Willow!" as she felt her orgasm approach.
Willow slipped her middle finger inside of Buffy along with her index, continuing to use her thumb to rub over her clit. She was glad Buffy hadn't used a second on her, she felt pretty full with just the one. She was in awe of the feeling of being inside Buffy Summers, not to mention the incredible pleasure she was getting from the feel of Buffy inside of her as well. She could feel the sensation in side of her twisting tighter and tighter until she was sure it was going to snap in half. She heard Buffy cry, "Oh God! I'm so close Willow!" and just then that twisting inside of her did snap in half and it felt like electric shocks traveled her whole body, except they didn't hurt, they felt wonderful.
When the tremors of her first orgasm dwindled at last, she concentrated on bringing Buffy to that same place, furiously pumping her tired hand in and out, grinding her clit hard and finally Buffy cried out as she had, except using actual words. "I love you Willow!" Buffy shouted as she came.
When she'd stopped trembling at last, she felt Willow stroking her hair. She opened the eyes she hadn't remembered closing and saw Willow's face right next to her own, a look of pure emotion in her eyes.
"I love you too Buffy!" Willow said, feeling the words deep in her heart as she said them. "Thank you so much! That was..."
"Amazing? Incredible? Fantastic?" Buffy asked.
"All of that!" Willow agreed.
Buffy snuggled up against her lover and whispered, "You make it worth it."
Willow asked, "What do you mean, Buffy? Make what worth it?"
Lassitude overtaking her, Buffy sleepily responded, "All of it. Coming to the... Hellmouth, being the Slayer... It was worth it... to find you."
Willow felt more special in that moment than anyone or anything had ever made her feel in her whole life combined. As she stroked the hair on her... lover's head, she decided that it had been worth it to her too. All the bad stuff in her life up to this point, it was worth it to get here. Wrapped in her lover's arms.

The End
