Part thirty five
Willow groaned as she watched Buffy's tongue sweep out to lick strawberry sauce off her bottom lip.
Buffy looked up, a gleam in her eyes when she noticed what was wrong with her lover.
The scent alone was making the blondes mouth water.
Tilting her head towards the rest rooms, Buffy stood when she was sure Willow understood what she wanted.
"Bathroom break."
Willow counted to sixty in her head before standing up, nudging Giles so she could get by.
When she was given a look by Jonny, she shrugged.
"Ice cream makes girls need to pee."
-----
She had barely closed the bathroom door when Buffy had her pressed against it.
Willow moaned as Buffy's strawberry flavoured tongue wrapped around her own chocolate flavoured one.
Buffy's hands went to Willow's pants, deftly unbuttoning them and pulling the zip down.
"Shoes Will."
Willow blinked before getting what her lover wanted.
Grinning, she kicked off one shoe and smiled as Buffy quickly pulled one of her pants legs down and off before picking her up.
"Buffy, what if someone comes in?" She didn't want to get caught by some kid, or worse, a kids parent.
The Slayer paused before shrugging.
Willow yelped as Buffy lifted her up by the butt, moving the redhead until the Slayer was eyes level with her prize, and Willow's own head was nearly touching the ceiling.
"There, no-one can get in if we're blocking the door, and I still get what I want."
So saying, Buffy dived right in, not wasting any time on foreplay as the others were waiting for them.
Willow shoved a fist into her mouth, trying to muffle her moans and groans as her lover's tongue worked its magic inside her body.
Buffy growled as her lovers essence hit her, her more primal urges coming out.
Willow groaned and reached down with one hand, pulling Buffy closer to her, twisting her hips, trusting the Slayer to keep them safe.
Buffy's eyes opened and locked on her lovers. The golden flecks of the Slayer visible to the redhead.
"More," Willow panted, grunting when Buffy thrust two fingers inside her hard and fast and moved her mouth to Willow's clit.
Buffy's eyes closed, her senses totally locked on her lover as she thrust inside her, reaching for, and finding, that spot that drove the redhead over.
When she felt her lover come, Buffy removed her fingers and thrust her tongue back inside, wanting to catch all her lover had to give.
-----
When they got back to the table, the men wisely said nothing, and not even Jonny's smirks could wipe the smile from Willow's glowing face, nor the cat that got the canary grin off of the Slayer's.
Giles remained oblivious to the entire thing, which both Buffy and Willow were thank-full for.
-----
Giles opened the door, not sure what to expect.
Xander didn't even look at them, he was just staring at his hands and they noticed right off that Anya wasn't there.
Buffy sighed. She should have knew Xander would have a problem with Anya getting her powers back. He wasn't exactly friendly towards the other non human member of the group.
Willow went and sat beside her friend, resting her hand on his arm.
"You okay Xander?"
He shrugged, twisting his hands.
Willow sighed and looked down, seeing something shiny in his hands.
"What's that?"
"It holds Anya's power." His voice was flat.
Buffy's eyes widened.
"She gave you that?"
He nodded.
Buffy frowned.
"Where is Anya Xander?"
He finally looked up at that.
"I... I told her to go... that I needed to think."
Buffy sighed. She had only known Anya for a short time, but she knew that the two belonged together. Any fool could see that. They complimented each other.
Walking over to her friend, she pulled him up by the arm and dragged him out back into the garden.
Xander was pulled out the door, and pushed into a seat.
"Just leave me alone Buffy, you have no idea what's going on here."
"No? Good, so you and Anya aren't imploding? Xander this is crazy and you know it." Buffy sat beside him on the swing seat, but he jumped up and began pacing.
"Buffy, she told me what happened, and while I'm glad for you that Willow's got her memory back, please just stay out of this."
"Xander, Anya would do anything for you, she loves you."
"She's a demon again," he exploded, before lowering his voice. "She lied to me, went behind my back, didn't ask my opinion."
Buffy stood up and advanced on him.
"Xander, are you telling me, that you don't still love her, that every fibre of your being isn't calling out for her? Even now?"
"What am I supposed to do Buff? Just ignore the fact that the woman I love is a demon?"
Buffy decided not to bring up the interesting facts Anya had told her concerning the demon verses human verses trapped powers thingy. She figured it wasn't the way to go here.
"Why not? To keep her with you? Xander, you stuck it out with Cordy for how long? Even before you guys broke up, before I left, she was burning you, and you took it." Buffy sighed and attempted to make one last ditch effort to make her friend see sense.
"If she's not the girl, if what she needs from you just isn't there, then let her go. Break her heart, and make it a clean break. But if you really think you can love this girl... I'm talking scary, messy, no-emotions-barred need... if you're ready for that... then think about what you're about to lose."
Buffy reached out to her friend when she saw tears of comprehension in his eyes.
"Buffy..."
"Go Xander, find her."
He nodded then ran like the hounds of hell were at his heals.
Buffy smiled and turned to go in, only to find herself with an armful of redhead.
"That was so sweet what you said to him."
Buffy grinned and buried her nose in Willow's neck.
"Don't let it get out Red, I have a rep to maintain here."
Willow laughed as her lover picked her up and spun her around.
"I think I owe you one."
Buffy pulled back, and grinned as she realised what Willow was talking about.
"Why wait little lady."
-----
Xander took a deep breath before knocking.
The door was opened almost immediately and Xander started speaking before Anya could say anything.
"I've gotta say something... 'Cause... I don't think I've made it clear. In fact I know I haven't made it clear. I'm in love with you. Powerfully, painfully in love. The things you do, the way you think, the way you move. I get excited every time I'm about to see you.
You make me feel like I've never felt before in my life. Like a man. I just thought you should know."
He held out the necklace.
"I want you to have this, because, demon or human, powerful or powerless, I love you just the way you are, Anya Christina Emanuella Jenkins."
Anya smiled, tears running down her cheeks unchecked, and threw her arms around him.
"I love you too Xander. I was so scared you wouldn't come. I've never been that scared before. And that's saying a lot you know."
Xander grinned and pulled her closer.
"What can I say, I was an idiot."
-----
Willow left Buffy sleeping and crept from the room looking for Giles.
She found him dozing in his armchair, neither Tom nor Jonny in sight, but that was okay, she had already spoken to the former on what she wanted.
Reaching out, she nudged Giles awake whilst putting her finger to her mouth and motioning for him to follow her outside.
-----
Buffy yawned and rolled over, surprised to not be cuddling into Willow.
When she found the bed empty, she knew why.
Groaning, she got out of bed and grabbed her slaying bag.
It was funny, in the past two weeks, she had spent more time at Giles place than at home with her mom.
"Gotta remember to call in tonight and see her."
Pulling her boots on, Buffy went in search of her wayward lover.
-----
Willow looked up as Giles closed the door to see Buffy decked out in her slaying gear.
"What've you two been up to?"
Willow avoided the question and put her arms around Buffy's neck.
"Slaying time already?"
Buffy nodded and flattened her palms against Willow's back, her fingertips slipping under her lovers pants and panties, teasing her with gently tickles.
"Yeah, you wanna come with? Tom and Jonny are going too. Angel said he might show up as well."
Willow pretended to think about it for a few seconds before shaking her head no.
"You go on, have fun killing baddies. But be careful."
Buffy nodded and placed a kiss on the tip of Willow's nose.
"Always am love."
Willow snorted and made her way to the kitchen, slapping Buffy on the ass as she passed.
"Just make sure you are tonight."
Buffy grinned and followed her lover.
"What's so special about tonight?"
She had never seen a look like it cross Willow's face. It was seductive, scared, lustful and apprehensive all in one. Buffy wasn't sure anyone else could have pulled it off like Willow did.
"Go. Kill things. Be safe though."
The Slayer nodded and waved goodbye, followed by her shadows.
Willow turned to Giles and mimicked wiping sweat away from her forehead.
"Phew, that was close."
He nodded, amused.
"Indeed."
Not two minutes had passed since Buffy and the others had left, before Giles and Willow were out the door, heading to the magic box.
-----
Tom knew what was going on, Jonny did not. He intended to keep it that way.
He had a job to do tonight, and by Gods he was going to do it.
Willow could be scary when she wanted to.
He wondered if she was taking lessons from her lover.
-----
Buffy wiped sweat off her forehead and picked up her sword, starting to head in the direction the demon had run off in.
"What's with all the demons tonight? I'm starting the miss the vamps. They just go poof, no effort needed."
Tom smirked before hiding it.
"No idea."
Jonny grunted and picked himself up off the ground.
"How about we call it a night?" He asked as he straightened out the kinks in his back.
"No!" Tom glanced at Buffy to make sure she hadn't noticed his reaction, but luckily she was cleaning demon blood off of her sword.
That girl sure loved her weapons.
"I mean, we should do a few more sweeps, Buffy hasn't seen much action in the slaying fields lately."
Buffy nodded her head and marched on, trusty sword at her side.
Tom shook his head.
Willow owed him big time for this.
