Part eight - Bumps in the road
Buffy woke in the middle to a feeling she hadn't had in many years: warmth.
Opening her eyes she saw that the Slayer was practically lying on top of her, not that she minded though. Her human blanket tightened its grip, almost to the point of pain.
Buffy watched as the Slayer came awake. Her eyes were still closed but the Vampire knew that she was reaching out with her senses, alerting herself to any danger before waking fully. she didn't know how a half asleep Slayer would react to having a Vampire in her bed.
Willow stretched. Every muscle in her body coiled before springing back into place. The first thing she noticed when she woke up was that there was a Vampire close by, she waited for her Slayer senses to go crazy, but they stayed quiet, knowing that the Vampire wasn't a threat.
Opening her eyes she looked into Buffy's before realising the position she was. Scrambling back, she put some distance between the two but picked up Buffy's hand and held it in hers when she saw a pout forming on the Vampire's lips.
They hadn't talked about any kind of relationship between themselves of any kind and Willow didn't want to misinterpret anything. Though saying that there had been some major kissing and light groping.
Buffy looked down at their hands before linking their fingers together and leaning her face in slowly towards the Slayer. She figured if the kiss was unwanted then she wouldn't be able to make contact.
Their lips met.
Buffy took dominance straight away. With a growl, she fended off Willow's tongue's assault with her own. The two dueled and parried in an erotic dance that had both of them whimpering and growling into each other's mouths.
Inevitably, Willow had to break their kiss to breathe. She got one good look at the passion buried deep within Buffy's eyes before her mouth lowered to her throat, and she was too awash with emotion to do anything but feel once again.
By this stage Buffy was on top of Willow who was now lying on her back. As she ran her tongue over the Slayer's pulse point, she distinctly heard a growl come from the girl beneath her.
Finally, Willow couldn't stand it anymore and plunged her own tongue into Buffy's mouth. Buffy let her explore for a while, growling when she discovered the sheaths for her fangs. Did The Slayer have any idea how sensitive a vampire's fangs were?
Before she lost all semblance of control, Buffy paused and looked down at the girl below her.
Willow used that pause to flip them over so she was on top and began kissing her way across Buffy jaw bone and latched onto the spot behind her earlobe.
Buffy let out a soft growl of pleasure and she smelt the Slayer's desire increase at the sound.
Raising shaking hands, Willow began to unbutton Buffy's shirt, as she kissed the skin before her, fumbling with a few of the buttons. She did want this but now that it was happening, everything Dru had said to her the morning after she had given her virginity away came rushing back full force.
~Like I really wanted to stick around after that.~
Trying to shake off the memories she got the shirt off and gasped at seeing Buffy's breasts enclosed in a red satin bra.
Lowering her head, she began nuzzling the flesh between them, listening to Buffy below her who was pleading for more.
~You got a lot to learn about women, kiddo. Although I guess you proved that last night~
She tired to concentrate on what she was doing to Buffy but the memories kept coming.
~You were great. Really. I thought you were a pro~
Moving down she nibbled around Buffy's belly button, receiving a yelp from the Vampire.
~Lighten up. It was a good time. It doesn't mean like we have to make a big deal~
Willow crouched on her knees and tried to make the voice in her head shut up.
~It's what? Bells ringing, fireworks, a dulcet choir of pretty little birdies? Come on, Willow. It's not like I've never been there before~
Buffy crouched over the Slayer as she rocked on her knees.
"Willow? Willow!? SLAYER!!"
Willow snapped out of it to see a shirtless Buffy before her looking scared.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Buffy looked freaked but Willow couldn't tell her what the problem was.
Buffy saw the fear in Willow's eyes but didn't know where it was coming from. She hadn't been overly aggressive had she? She knew that on occasion she was known to be.
"What is it? What's wrong?"
Willow tried getting off the bed Vampire was having none of it. Of course if she really wanted to Willow could seriously injure Buffy. It was lucky for Buffy that was the last thing on her mind.
"Willow, stop. Tell me what's wrong. Was it me? Am I rushing you here 'cause we can stop if you want."
Willow closed her eyes and a tear leaked out. She wanted to reassure Buffy but a part of her, a very large part, was scared.
What would happen if she woke up alone again? Willow wasn't sure she could handle that sort of rejection a second time.
Knowing what she had to do she opened her eyes and looked into the ones of the Vampire before her. The Vampire who was tenderly wiping the tears from her face.
All of Willow's resolve went out the window when she looked into Buffy's eyes. They showed her fear, her lust, her love, and Willow was horrified to see a realisation dawning in them as well in them as well.
Buffy searched her brain. She replay the nights events in her head but could come up with nothing as to why the Slayer was so freaked out.
So she began thinking about recent events, and even with everything that was hanging over their head Buffy still...
"Dru." The word was spit from her mouth like it had a bad taste to it.
Willow lowered her head, refusing to look at Buffy, not wanting to see whatever was in her eyes at the moment.
She was startled when Buffy placed a hand under her chin to guide her head up so they were eye level.
Willow wasn't looking at Buffy at this point but Buffy's demon.
"What happened?" Spoke through fangs and growled out words reached Willow's ears but she didn't want Buffy to know. Maybe they could just forget this happened and could go back to the way things were.
"What happened?"
Willow sighed. She knew Buffy and she knew that she wouldn't give up. Averting her eyes she recounted waking up alone and the hurtful words that she believed still. Her embarrassment was obvious but she carried on.
Buffy sat quietly through it apart from a continuous growl escaping her.
When Willow was finished with the story Buffy spoke, and this time the words came easy.
"True Happiness. You gave her that. Whatever you two shared was good enough to break a hundred year old curse. Never doubt that."
"Could we just forget tonight happened?"
Buffy face, which had reverted to her human one as she spoke, switched to demon and back again Willow wasn't sure it happened.
This time it was Buffy who looked away before talking.
"If you want to forget it ever happened then we'll do that."
Buffy nearly choked getting the words out but she managed.
Picking up her discarded shirt she put it on, feeling the need to cover up. She, like Willow had never handled rejection well.
Picking up her boots she began lacing them up, avoiding looking directly at the Slayer, knowing her true emotions would show through.
Willow watched Buffy leave her room, unable to make a move to stop her until she heard her on the bottom stair.
Buffy was about to open the front door when a hand stopped her. Leaning forward she placed her head against the wood.
"I can't keep doing this Slayer. You either want this or you don't. Choose."
Willow turned Buffy to face her.
"What happened to Willow?" Not waiting for a answer she leaned in and kissed Buffy before she was pushed away.
"This is serious! Your in or your out, choose now, but keep in mind that if you choose yes then I'm not letting you go again. Ever."
Willow pulled back. She hadn't been expecting that and it showed on her face.
Buffy shook her head before opening the door and walking out, ignoring Willow's calls to stop.
She reacted on instinct when she was slammed from the side.
Throwing her attacker over her shoulder, she twisted their arm at the shoulder to keep a firm hold before looking into the pained gaze of the Slayer.
Buffy let go as if she had been burned.
Willow stood up slowly, rubbing her arm.
"You can't just dump something like that on me and then leave." Willow was trying to stay calm. Wasn't working.
Buffy stepped into Willow's personal space, switching to game face as she did. Inwardly she was happy when Willow never moved but it never showed on her face.
"Take a look. This is what I am. Its not all I am but it is a very large part. We get involved and it plays a large part of it. Understand?"
Willow said the worst thing she could have.
"It's not like I haven't been there before." She snapped her mouth shut as soon as the words left it.
They both closed their eyes; Willow in shame and Buffy because she needed to calm down or things were going to get steadly worse from here on in. She was way passed angry and bordering on entering the violence stage.
Opening her eyes she met the shameful gaze of the Slayer before turning and walking away.
This time Willow let her leave.
