Part thirty eight
Everyone looked up when there was a knock at Giles' front door.
With the exception of Buffy's mom, everyone they knew was in the living room.
Tom opened the door, before slamming it closed again and spinning around to face Buffy.
The Slayer's eyebrow raised when another knock sounded.
"Tom, who is at the door?"
He threw a quick glance at Willow that Buffy caught and the Slayer stood, making her way to the door.
When she opened it to see Riley on the other side, it took everything in her not to lash out.
The only reason she hadn't hurt him, was because in the end he had helped her get Willow back.
She refused to forget though that he had also hurt her Mate.
"What do you want?"
Riley shrunk back under the Slayer's fiery gaze.
"I was wondering if I could speak to Willow?"
Buffy's eyes widened before they narrowed in anger.
"You honestly think that I'm gonna-"
"Buffy who is it?" When Willow saw who was at the door, she paled, her hand reaching out to grab Buffy's.
Riley sighed and shook his head.
"Willow I'm so sorr-"
"If you apologise to me, I will get Buffy to beat you to death." She remembered what the man had done to her, and even though he helped in the end, all Willow could feel for him was hate.
Buffy threw a quick nod to the soldier, backing up her Mate. She would never let Willow be hurt again, and she didn't care who she had to hurt herself to see to it.
Riley took a step back at the hate he could see in Willow's eyes.
"I'm leaving town, going back home. The Initiative is finished, there's nothing here for me. I just wanted to... do that thing I'm not allowed to do... before I left."
He turned and walked away, truly scared at the growling he could hear coming from the redhead, that the blonde copied.
-----
Joyce looked up when the back door opened to see Buffy and Willow walk in hand in hand.
"Hey mom, we have some news." Buffy was nervous, but she figured she'd get straight to the point.
Joyce raised an eyebrow at Willow. Apparently the redhead hadn't told her lover about their spat the day before.
The redhead could certainly make her point and get a few insults in at the same time.
"Oh really?"
"Mom, Willow and I are mated. I know you know what that means." Buffy waited for the explosion, knowing one was coming.
Whatever Buffy expected, it wasn't for her mom to simply smile and nod her head.
"I'm happy for you two, really I am."
Buffy tilted her head at her mom.
"Not that I'm not happy that your... happy, but I was kinda expecting you to freak out."
Joyce sighed and motioned for them to follow her into the living room.
"Buffy, I've learned from my mistakes, that's all I'm going to say on the matter."
"Now, tell me what your plans are for the rest of the day. I was thinking we could have a get together here on Sunday? I could cook for everyone, I feel like I haven't seen you in months, not days."
-----
Buffy was still in a daze when they left her mom's house.
Willow sighed before stepping into the blonde's path.
"Stop pouting, you know what it does to me."
Buffy grinned and made her pout bigger, causing the redhead to mock slap her.
"Buffy, are you okay with your mom being okay?"
Buffy smothered a laugh.
"Yeah baby, I am. I just expected her to wig a little bit. I think I'm kinda freaked out that she didn't."
Willow couldn't hide her guilty look and Buffy saw it right off.
"What did you do Will?" She stepped in close to her lover, inhaling her scent as she did so.
Willow tried her innocent face, but she could hide nothing now with the bond the two shared.
It wasn't that they could read each others thoughts, but they did get emotions, and Willow's were screaming 'guilty' in neon lights.
"I might have went to see her yesterday to give her a firm talking to."
Buffy waited just long enough to watch Willow squirm before she laughed and picked her Mate up, spinning her around and laughing like a child who has been given a new toy.
"So you aren't mad?"
Buffy's reply was to kiss her lover, bending the redhead back slightly as she deepened the kiss.
"Not mad no."
Willow could tell by the tone of her lovers voice, and the feelings coming through their bond, that Buffy was anything but mad.
Looking around, Willow sighed when she realised that they were in a heavily populated area.
Turning back to her lover, Willow's eyes widened when instead of Buffy's gently hazel eyes staring at her, it was the golden hued eyes of the Slayer.
"Baby?"
Buffy stepped forward, pulling Willow into her grasp, her head lowering until she could nip at the redhead's neck.
Willow shivered as the Slayer took deep breaths before she noticed the looks they were starting to get.
Pulling back, Willow looked into her lovers eyes and nearly said to hell with it.
"We need to go."
The Slayer growled as she noticed the looks that were coming their way.
"Mine."
Willow grinned, she loved hearing that. The Slayer finally let go of her before she began walking at a brisk pace back to the watcher's home.
-----
Angel and Spike looked up, Spike's demon coming to the fore as the door slammed open and the Slayer marched through. He began a low growl, his demon reacting to the presence of the Slayer unconsciously.
Buffy paused halfway into the house as she spotted the two demons.
Giles, Jonny and Tom stood up, ready for anything. Buffy had never exposed her core being to the two Vampire's.
Willow wrapped an arm around her growling Mate before throwing a look at the blonde Vampire.
"Spike! Lose the bumpies for Gods sake before she rips them off you."
Spike grinned and licked his fangs before shaking off his demon.
The Slayer snarled at him but couldn't do anything because her Mate was holding her back.
Willow sighed. If Buffy didn't like the blonde menace under normal conditions, what would the Slayer feel when she was so close to the surface?
"What's up with the Slayer then?"
Buffy tried to step forward, but Willow pulled her back and nuzzled her face into her lover's neck, placing small kisses, feeling the Slayer arch into her.
Angel edged closer to the blonde Vampire, ready to knock him out if need be.
Buffy growled at his move and pulled Willow closer. Angel paused in what he was doing as the Slayer stalked closer to the them both.
Angel froze as did Spike and all the others in the room. Everyone except from Willow was worried about what was going to happen.
The blonde demon made a decision not to further annoy the Slayer by stepping back, away from them.
If Buffy attacked, he would have to defend himself, though he knew he didn't stand a chance.
Buffy stopped a foot away and tilted her head, the Slayer's eyes boring into the brown eyes of her friend.
"Vampire."
Angel's head lowered.
"She wants to see your demon." Willow piped up from behind her lover, seeing his reaction.
Angel sighed and brought forth his own demon.
The Slayer's head tilted before she nodded.
"Angel... Angelus... family."
So saying, she pulled Willow with her as they made their way to their room.
Giles whipped off his glasses and wiped them on his sweater. While he knew that Buffy thought of the souled Vampire as family, for the Slayer to do so seem mind boggling.
Even more so that she included his demon.
Angel smiled, ignoring Spike's snort.
He belonged. He had always wondered how Buffy really felt about him, now he knew.
He was considered family.
All of him.
-----
Willow barely had time to close the door before the Slayer pounced. Laughing, Willow was tackled to the bed by her lover.
Buffy paused and looked down at her Mate and Willow gasped at the feelings the Slayer sent through their bond.
"I love you Willow."
Willow reached up and cupped Buffy's cheek and gently guided the Slayer's face down to her own.
"Show me."
The kiss started out soft, loving and gentle and then it grew into something more. The passion that had always been between them flared back up as the kiss grew wild and wet and hard and demanding all at once, but still loving.
After what felt like an eternity later to Willow, Buffy had finally made her way once more down towards her core and Willow swore she would die if Buffy didn't touch her soon. Her lover had reduced her once more into a quivering, moaning, whimpering, need-filled mess of flesh.
Willow's whole body surged up at Buffy's touch on her clit. The ripple of desire it caused was so intense it started at the tip of her toes, thundered over her body and left the redhead barely able to breathe.
She felt Buffy's mouth hot against the side of her neck leaving small love-bites wherever she touched. It felt like another eternity had passed as Buffy explored her core with the lightest, most delicate touch Willow had ever experienced.
She felt like laughing, crying, screaming all at once.
When it finally came, when her release hit, Willow couldn't scream out, all she could manage was a weak gasp of her lover's name as she went plummeting over the edge of the abyss, knowing Buffy was along for the ride with her, and that her lover would be there to catch her when she fell.
-----
Willow slowly fought her way out of sleep. She was sprawled out on top of Buffy, who had her arms wrapped tightly around her, almost as if she were afraid of losing her. Protecting her even in sleep.
She raised her head up from Buffy's chest and looked down at the Slayer's peaceful face with sleepy eyes. Once again she was stunned by how beautiful, young and innocent Buffy looked in sleep.
How peaceful.
Willow gently tried to rise up and untangle herself from Buffy's arms.
Still half asleep, she didn't realize how close to the edge of the bed they were and in a few seconds, both the Slayer and her Mate went tumbling to the floor.
Willow landed on her back with a grunt.
Buffy jumped up into a fighting stance the second they hit the floor. She had no clue what happened and her eyes were solid gold, no hint of hazel, flickering around the room looking for their attacker. The Slayer was snarling, baring her teeth and she was purely primal.
Willow gasped. She had never seen anything so wild, untamed, as her lover looked to her at that moment. Arousal so sharpe cut through her, causing Willow to growl.
Buffy looked down to see her lover on the floor, and as quickly as she had stood, she was again holding Willow and pinned her to the bed below them once more.
Buffy growled down at her Mate, and Willow felt something respond from within her. Something that had taken hold when they had mated.
The Slayer captured Willow's mouth in a carnal kiss. They sought to devour each other in that kiss, breaking apart for only the briefest of seconds for air before they continued furiously.
Willow rolled them so she was on top and forced her leg between both of Buffy's, her thigh pressing demandingly up against Buffy's slick heat.
She felt Buffy's hands grab her hips, forcing her down onto her own thigh hard, moving them both to the same rhythm.
Willow's fingers were digging into Buffy's shoulders and she knew she would leave marks, even with Slayer healing, just like Buffy was going to leave marks on her hips and butt.
Willow looked down into Buffy's golden eyes, somehow knowing way down deep inside of her that Buffy had let her be on top.
Then any coherent thought fled and just pure desire took its place, the same animalistic desire that was coming to Willow in waves from Buffy through their bond.
It should have scared her, it should have at least made her stop to think, but all Willow could focus on was her lover and the desire that was almost crippling her.
They were out of control, there was nothing gentle about their passion as they scratched and clawed, bit and sucked.
"Don't... oh God... don't stop..." Buffy growled unsure where this was coming from, but not caring as long as it wasn't scaring her mate. As long as she wasn't scaring her Mate.
"Won't... can't... don't want to... couldn't even..." Willow snarled back, almost a little scared of how they were, but not enough to pull back from the intensity of the primitive feelings running through her that she knew deep down were coming from the Slayer. She was feeling them through the bond.
Willow began to mumble without any conscious thought, growling against Buffy's neck, "Mine... mine... mine..."
"Will... Yours always..."
She felt Buffy's nails rake over her back again and she bit down hard, not even realizing that she broke the skin, drew blood and marked Buffy as hers yet again in a different spot.
The Slayer screamed in primal pleasure as she felt Willow bite down hard on her pulse point. Something inside of her snapped as she felt Willow's teeth break her skin and her whole being was hurtled head long into release with the same impact as slamming into the ground after jumping from a plane
Buffy rocked up into Willow hard almost knocking her from her.
Without thinking, her arms came around Willow's neck, pulling her down roughly.
Buffy began the same mumbled growling chant against Willow's neck that Willow had used.
"Mine... mine... mine...." Her own mouth sought out Willow's pulse point and she bit down hard, breaking the skin, drawing blood, marking Willow as hers again.
"Yours... God... Slayer..." Willow screamed even louder than Buffy had as she was dragged down into what Buffy was feeling.
Willow hit the ground as Buffy had, as her orgasm slammed through her, her body shuddering, arching violently into Buffy as Buffy arched with the same force into her.
In the back of her mind, Willow knew she would be sore for a while when they were done, but it wouldn't make her stop.
They clung to each other, neither one trying to stop what was happening, neither one scared by it.
Soon though, it became too much, and with one final gasp of air, they both passed out, letting the darkness claim them as they had claimed each other.
-----
The living room was silent, not even Spike spoke.
The Vampire's knew exactly what was happening from their sense of smell, never mind hearing.
When Giles, Tom and Jonny picked up on it, they stood as one and raced for the front door, egger to escape the noises.
Angel pulled Spike to the basement and dragged him down the stairs. There was sewer access from Giles home, and he needed to leave before he heard anything more.
When he looked at Spike, he couldn't hold it in anymore.
Falling back against the grimy wall, the two vampires clutched their stomachs laughing at the looks on Giles and Tom's faces.
-----
When Buffy woke, it was dark out. Her inner being telling her it was time to hunt.
Willow was still sprawled out on top of her, her breathing even and steady in sleep.
She gently stroked Willow's face
.
"Hey baby... wake up" Her voice was husky and hoarse and Buffy felt herself blushing just thinking about why.
She hoped Giles hadn't heard them.
"Mmm... Buffy?" Willow lifted herself up from Buffy and groaned in protest she almost felt like she had been beaten up.
Then she felt herself start to turn scarlet as she realized why she was so sore.
Buffy started to shake, and Willow's eyes widened thinking her lover was crying.
When she saw tears, she reached out, only to have Buffy fall into her laughing.
It was contagious, and soon they were rolling about on the bed, overcome by a case of the chuckles.
when Buffy reached out to move a strand of hair from Willow's face, she saw the mark. Licking her lips, she tasted faint traces of copper and her eyes widened.
"Oh Shit."
