New In Town

[reviews]
Buffy fluttered her eyes open very slowly on that beautiful Saturday morning. Ok, well, it was technically noon, but it was morning to her. She can't remember the last time she's slept in so late. Usually she's up and ready to go by seven thirty on the weekdays, and up by nine on the weekends. But she had stayed up pretty late last night. It was four in the morning before she snuck back into her bedroom to get some shuteye. Since her mom was sick with a cold and taking medicine to help with the symptoms she isn't as alert as normal, and sleeping although the night, so Buffy has been able to sneak into Willow's room for a late-night-make-out-session.
She stretched her arms above her head and rolled over onto her back, staring up at the ceiling. Things with Willow have been a little tense lately. Not because the two are fighting or anything but because they want to take their relationship to the next level, but they can't. They can't find a place where they can be together. They knew that if they were 'together' after school then they would most likely fall asleep afterwards and Joyce would catch them and Willow would be forced to move out. Her mom had picked up on the fact that the two teens have been a lot closer lately and so she started taking the weekends off from work, not willing to take the chance in leaving them home alone all day long.
But their passion for each other is starting to grow. They've had one really embarrassing incident about two weeks after Willow told Buffy she was ready to go further. They were at the library in a late night study session. Giles left to go get some food and Xander had to go home early because he wasn't feeling well. Willow leaned over and placed a quick kiss on Buffy's lips and before they knew what was happening the blonde was bent over the table, Willow lying on top of her, their hands were roaming all over the other's body and their hips were grinding together. Luckily it was only Cordelia who walked in and not Giles. They knew they'd never be able to look him in the eyes again if he were to walk in on them in that type of position.
Buffy looked over towards her door when she heard running in the hallway. She smiled when she saw Willow throw her door open and practically bounce into the room. The redhead jumped up on her bed and bounced a couple of times and then landed on her knees, laughing the entire time. Buffy giggled a little, still too tired to fully laugh at the moment. She watched as Willow walked up to her, still on her knees, and she laid down next to her, lying on her side so she could look at the blonde.
"Morning baby," she said and leaned in for a kiss. Buffy pulled her head away and covered her mouth with one of her hands. She instantly regretted doing it however, when she saw the look hurt on Willow's face. "What? Why don't you wanna kiss me?" She sounded as hurt as she looked and Buffy felt like such an ass. But still, she was self-conscious and she couldn't help but scoot away from the redhead a little bit before she uncovered her mouth.
"It's not you, it's me. Well, my bad morning breath at least," she said and smiled. Willow got an 'oh, ok' look on her face and then reached into her pants pocket. She pulled out a small tin container of Altoids and took one out and handed it to the blonde. Buffy smiled a small 'thank you' and then popped the mint into her mouth. Her eyes watered at the strong flavor as she sucked on it, making her bad breath disappear. "Now you can have a kiss." She leaned over and placed a sweet kiss on Willow's lips. It soon deepened and when the two pulled back for air Willow was sucking on Buffy's mint. "Hey, that was mine," she whined and started to pout, making Willow giggle.
"Want it back?" she asked, her voice teasing. Buffy pouted some more and nodded her head yes. Willow got this mischievous smile on her face. "Then come and get it," she taunted and then jumped off of the bed and ran for the door. Buffy threw the blankets off of her and rushed after the other girl. She ran down the stairs and started to search the bottom floor of the house, but she couldn't find Willow anywhere. She was sure she had come down here. At least she was halfway sure. She could still be upstairs. She slowly walked back up the stairs, using her slayer stealthiness to be quieter then any mouse that's ever lived. She let her slayer senses roam as she searched for the other girl.
"Boo!" Willow yelled as she jumped out of the bathroom and right in Buffy's face. Buffy had to fight like hell to suppress her slayer instincts because she really doesn't think that accidentally hitting your girlfriend in a game of hide and seek is a relationship builder. She smiled as Willow started to slowly back away from her. "I accidentally swallowed your mint, but I replaced it with another, and it's just as yummy." As if to prove her point she stuck out her tongue, the mint resting on the tip of it. She was forced to stand still when her back made contact with the wall.
"Well, I guess it's time for me to claim my prize," the slayer said before pressing herself up against the other girl. She slowly started to kiss Willow, doing her best to get the mint back but Willow kept stealing it away from her. That made the game a little more interesting but when they pulled back for air Buffy smiled proudly and stuck out her tongue to show the redhead that she had indeed captured the mint. "So, Willow, how are you going to get me to let you go, seeing how I got the mint back, you have no leverage." She smiled an evil smile and Willow just stood there, looking innocent.
"Maybe I don't want you to let me go," she said and batted her eyelashes. Buffy's expression turned serious and she closed her eyes when she felt Willow's soft lips brush against hers. She deepened the kiss and she felt Willow's hands rest on her hips. She felt herself being gently pushed backwards and she offered no resistance. She was slowly led down the hall and then to her bedroom doorway. She did stop there, however. She doesn't want Willow to feel rushed. Even if the redhead has told her many times that she's ready, she just wants to make sure. She's nervous about being Willow's first because she doesn't want the redhead to regret it, and she doesn't want to do anything wrong.
"Are you absolutely, positively, one-hundred percent sure you're ready for this?" she asked and Willow cocked her head to the side and sort rolled her eyes up towards the ceiling as if she were thinking about it. She smiled and then looked into Buffy's worried hazel eyes. She leaned in and placed a quick kiss on her soft lips before giggling a little bit.
"Cross my heart, hope to cry, stick a poodle in my eye," she said and Buffy couldn't help but laugh. Willow is just so damn cute when she wants to be. They started to kiss again, slow at first but it soon heated up with passion. Buffy was backed up into the room and sat down on the edge of her bed. She felt Willow's demeanor completely change, and instead of being that self-confident little vixen she was out in the hall, she was now a nervous little girl. They pulled back from the kiss at the same time and Buffy ran her fingers through Willow's long hair, attempting to calm her nerves.
"I know you're nervous, I know you're afraid that it's going to hurt really bad. Don't worry about it. It doesn't hurt that much. There's a slight sting and then it's mostly just a dull soreness. I'll be extra gentle with you, don't worry." Willow nodded her head and they started to kiss again, but it wasn't very pleasant, Willow was still so damn nervous that she accidentally bit Buffy's tongue pretty hard. "Ok. Don't think of it as us about to have sex. Just think of it as us about to...explore each other's bodies. There doesn't have to be any penetration if you don't want there to be. We'll go slow, get a lay of the land so to speak so when you are ready we'll already know each other a little better. That sound ok?" Willow smiled and the two kissed. It was much more relaxed then before. She scooted up on the bed, dragging Buffy with her, and she laid down in the middle of it.
It only took a couple of minutes and Willow's shirt was lying on the floor. Another couple of minutes passed and so was Buffy's. The redhead pulled back from the kiss and studied the blonde above her. She started to gently rub the soft skin starting at the collarbone and working her way down towards the slayer's breasts. She drew invisible patterns on the other girl and she looked up at Buffy's face when she noticed that she was breathing harder. She smiled when she saw that Buffy's eyes were closed, and her mouth was hanging open a little.
"You said explore, right? That we're going to explore each other?" she asked almost timidly. Buffy quickly nodded her head yes and her breath caught in her throat when she felt Willow unclasp her bra and slowly start to pull it off. She used the strength in her legs to hold herself up while she lifted her arms off of the bed so that Willow could take the bra off completely. "So we can just look, right? Almost like studying each other?" Again it was said with the very timid sounding voice. Buffy just nodded her head and she gasped when she felt Willow's index finger start to hesitantly draw circles around her right breast. She hissed in a breath and then the finger stopped moving. "Did I do something wrong?" Buffy's eyes opened and she shook her head no.
Willow reached up and took both of Buffy's pert breasts in her hands, feeling their weight, studying their soft texture. Her eyes widened a little when she felt Buffy's nipples harden against her palms, and Buffy's hissed in another breath. I guess that means I'm doing something right, she thought as she gave them a gentle squeeze. She decided to go back to those later, she had some more exploring that she wanted to get done right now. She started to stroke Buffy's ribs with the back of her fingernails, slowly making her way down to the blonde's stomach. She noticed that Buffy's skin started to get Goosebumps, and she looked up at the blonde's face to make sure she wasn't doing anything wrong. But Buffy looked content so she kept going.
"Will," Buffy breathed out more then she said. She opened her desire filled eyes and looked into the redhead's questioning ones. She could tell that there was still some small amount of fear in them and she was quick to assure her that everything was fine. "This might be a little easier if I'm on the bottom." Willow nodded her head and watched as Buffy got off of her. She sat on her knees and waited for her to move. Once Willow was off of the bed Buffy laid down where Willow had been. Then the redhead slowly climbed on top, resting most of her weight on her knees and elbows. She decided that lying next to Buffy and perching on her side would be a little more comfortable, so that's what she did.
She kept up her slow exploration of the blonde's body and continued to take mental notes. She paid attention to a certain area whenever Buffy reacted strongly to it being touched. When she was done with Buffy's upper body she thought that it was time for her girlfriend to lose the rest of her clothes, so to speak. She sat up on the bed and gently pulled at the waistband of Buffy's pajama bottoms and Buffy lifted her hips up and Willow pulled them off of her. She dropped them to the floor and sat at the foot of the bed. She closely eyed the smooth skin of Buffy's legs and she slowly reached out and started to run the tips of her fingers on the tops of Buffy's thighs.
She looked up at Buffy when she heard the blonde's breathing become a little more labored. She saw a thin sheen of sweat start to cover the blonde's torso. Buffy's face was also starting to turn a little red. Willow inhaled deeply and she noticed a musky smell started to take over the room. She looked down and saw a dampness start to darken her girlfriend's panties. I'm making her wet, she thought to herself and suppressed the little smirk. She continued her stroking of the blonde's thighs and noted that she liked it when she scraped her fingernails along the skin. Little white marks would appear but almost instantly go away. Probably her slayer healing, she thought.
"Is it ok if I take these off?" she asked and smiled a little at how fast Buffy nodded her head yes. She waited for the blonde to lift up her hips and she slid the white cotton underwear off when she did. She gasped herself when she saw Buffy's trimmed pubic hair. Definitely not a natural blonde, she thought. She was still too nervous to just 'dive in' so she started to scrape her fingernails along the tops of Buffy's thighs getting closer and closer to the brown hair with each stroke.
She noticed that the closer she got the heavier Buffy's breathing became. She looked up at Buffy's face and smiled at how beautiful she looked with her eyes closed and her head rolled back against the bed. She looked down when she felt a pressure against her legs and she saw that Buffy was spreading her legs apart, subconsciously or a silent plea for more she wasn't sure which but she knew that she had to continue. She couldn't just leave Buffy like this, it would be cruel and inhumane. She still wanted to go slow, though. She had no idea of what to do so she was going to let Buffy couch her through it, even if the blonde didn't know she would be couching.
She started to scrape her nails against the inside of Buffy's thighs and got a very loud hiss for that. She smiled and continued to gently scratch the smooth silky skin. She was busy paying attention to Buffy's breathing and the look on the older girl's face so she didn't see how high her hand had gone until she felt the moisture and hear Buffy wince, as if in pain, when her thumb made contact with the swallow nether lips. She looked down quickly and saw that Buffy was spreading her legs farther apart. She gently eased herself up and sat down on the other side of Buffy's leg, so that she was in between the slender limbs.
She gently spread the pink lips apart with her thumb and she noticed a part of the blonde, above her entrance that was practically gushing out the musky juices, was throbbing. She reached over with her index finger and started to gently rub the throbbing body part. Buffy arched her back off of the bed and a low moan gurgled in her throat. She applied some more pressure and started to draw a small circle. Buffy's hips started to grind against her hand and she smiled when she saw Buffy grip onto the sheets so hard that her knuckles turned white. She added another finger and the muscle twitched uncontrollably. She started to move her fingers lower until they were teasing Buffy's entrance. The blonde's hips arched up as if on their own accord, and suddenly Willow filled her.
Willow gasped out at the feeling of the blonde's wet, hot cavern. It was so strange, she's never felt anything like it before, but it was a good kind of strange. She started to move her fingers around a little, she was supposed to be exploring after all. She hit a particularly squishy spot and Buffy's back arched up and she moaned loudly.
"Oh God, Willow, right there, please. Oh God." Willow was starting to sweat and the throbbing in between her legs was almost unbearable. She continued to stroke over that spot and it was driving Buffy crazy. She was pumping her hips against her hand, her back was arching up higher and higher, her breathing was very erratic and she was staring to drip beads of sweat off of her forehead and chest area. She noticed that Buffy's legs were bent at the knees, her heels were digging into the bed and the muscles were tense. "A little faster, please." She begged, and Willow actually found that hot. She started to move her fingers a little faster over that spot, and Buffy's breaths started to come in shorter gasps. She didn't know how, but Willow knew that Buffy was close. She could just feel it. A couple more strokes and the blonde would be calling out her name at the top of her lungs. So it was at that moment someone decided to ring the doorbell.
"No. Fucking. Way," Buffy said in a deep growl. Willow decided to ignore the door, thinking that it was probably just Xander, and she started to stroke Buffy a little faster and a little harder. The blonde forgot all about the door and she threw her head back as she arched off of the bed. But the person outside was persistent and the ringing kept coming. The mood was ruined now, they both felt it and Buffy relaxed as best she could as Willow pulled her fingers out of her. She sat up in the bed and gave Willow a quick kiss on the lips and smiled at her. She got off of the bed and put her pajamas back on, purposely leaving her panties and bra off. She made her way downstairs and unlocked the door. She counted to twenty before she opened it in hopes it would help calm her down a little. Then she opened it and she wanted to murder.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" she spat and thought about slamming the door in their face, but she knew that that would be a very rude thing to do. Not that she cared at this point. But she knew that they would never give up if they wanted to talk to her, so she might as well get it over with.
"Rude much?" Cordelia asked in her usual tone. She shifted her weight from one foot to the other as she looked Buffy over, observing her messy hair and sweaty skin. She mouth curled into a very self-satisfied smile. "You were just having sex with Willow weren't you?" She didn't need anything more then Buffy's irritated expression to know that she was right. "Well, I am so glad that I was able to stop that." Buffy closed her eyes and counted to ten, praying that she wouldn't kill this bitch right there.
"Is there something that you needed, or did you just come over here to piss me off?" she asked, her voice strained as she tried to keep the volume under control. She didn't want Willow to have to come down here and try to get her off of Cordelia because the redhead would be really embarrassed to face the person that had caught them. Well, not so much as caught, but interrupted and was able to guess what they were doing. Not that it wasn't obvious.
"Please, get over yourself. I just wanted to warn you to watch your back." And again with this crap? Cordelia has been threatening Buffy ever since she found out about that very unfortunate incident at the party at Quinn's house. Buffy's tried to avoid her, but the queen of Sunnydale just won't back off. It's really starting to piss Buffy off, especially when she's gone out of her way to evade the other girl, going as far as taking different routes in the school so they wouldn't pass in the hallways.
"I've heard it all before Cordelia. Did you come by here to tell me that if I hurt Willow you'll slip me your little wonder drug and make me a normal girl? Or did you come here to threaten to kick my ass? Like it's possible. Or are you gonna tell me that you and your gang are gonna jump me in the school parking lot?" she sounded a little sarcastic, but those were just some of the things that Cordelia had threatened to her. But Queenie just rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest as if Buffy was the one who wasn't supposed to be here.
"Like I'd come all the way to your house to make idol threats. I just wanted to warn you that the little 'wonder drug' was stolen from my purse at the store this morning. I don't know who did it or if they even know what it is, but I thought you should know. So don't accept any food if you don't know who made it and make sure all of your drinks are in cans or reseal-able bottles just in case someone tries to slip it to you. I can't believe this happened. I paid good money for that stuff and now I'm not even going to get the satisfaction of knowing that it's me who's the cause of your loss of power. See you around." And she left, her hair blowing gracefully in the wind as she walked that superior walk. Well that certainly was unexpected.
Buffy shut the door, feeling a little numb. She knew that Cordelia could slip her that stuff, but she never thought that she would. Even Cordelia isn't that cruel. But this other person, or whatever it is, could slip it to her when she isn't paying attention. They could show up at the Bronze and distract her and then put it in her drink, like those boys to with the date rape drug. What is she going to do now? It's not like she can just stop going out because of this threat. She'll just have to be more careful. She'll pack all of her lunches and she won't drink anything but bottled water. But what if someone sees her buying her food at the store and then uses a syringe to put it in her food?! Oh, now she can't breathe.
She went back upstairs and saw that Willow had put her shirt back on and was sitting on the bed, waiting for her to come back. Her mood changed from an annoyed one to a very concerned one when she saw the look on Buffy's face. She was pale, and seemed a little zoned out, like someone told her they ran over her puppy or something. If she had a puppy, that is. She sat down at the foot of the bed and held her face in her hands, her elbows rested on her knees as she slouched over. Willow slowly crawled up behind her and started to rub her back.
"Who was at the door, baby?" she asked and Buffy looked up and stared at the wall in front of her. This was bad. This was very, very bad. She could become a normal girl, defenseless, helpless. She wouldn't be able to protect Willow and it's all because Cordelia has some strange need to try and protect the redhead herself. And why is that anyway? It's not like the two are friends in any way shape or form.
"Cordelia. She...a while ago, the Monday after the party when she threatened me, she told me she had some type of drug, she bought it from a demon when she was in New York. She said that it would get rid of the slayer side of me. Everything about it, the power, the strength, the night vision, everything. I would be a normal teenage girl. I didn't think much of it or else I would have taken it from her. And downstairs, she said," she had to stop. Her eyes were starting to water up and there was lump in her throat.
"She said that someone stole it from her purse, and she doesn't know who. What if it was some kind of demon? What if it puts that stuff in my food or a drink and I become just a normal girl? I can't be normal Willow, that's not good enough. Then who'll keep you safe?" She was sobbing now and Willow continued to rub her back. She wrapped her arms around her and gentle led her up to the head of the bed. She pulled the covers down and encouraged Buffy to crawl under them. She held Buffy as she wept on her chest, and she stroked her hair and her back, trying her best to calm her down.
"Shh, baby. It's going to be ok. Nothing bad is going to happen to you, I promise. We'll just be extra careful, ok? Shh, try to get some sleep." Her voice was low and soothing and Buffy couldn't help but give into it. She closed her eyes and tried her best to get her breathing under control. She felt herself start to drift off as she cried herself to sleep, the entire time she was thinking about all of the bad things that could happen to Willow if she does become nothing more then a normal girl. But she was able to find comfort in the redhead's arms, and the way she was caressing her. It was so gentle, so loving, she couldn't help but actually believe that everything would work out in her favor.

'Cross my heart, hope to cry, stick a poodle in my eye' can anyone guess which cartoon this quote is from? I'll give you a hint, it was said by a boy named Chuckie.
