Some adult content and no, Stargate nor Buffy belong to me…

Jay surfaced slowly from a deep sleep, trying to figure out what had awakened him. Suddenly he was aware of lips skimming his thigh and moving higher.

"Buffy!" he gasped and her hot, wet mouth closed around him and sucked gently. He thrust his hips involuntarily and moaned as quietly as he could. Struggling for sanity he reached down and hauled Buffy up.

He met her smiling eyes with a ferocious frown, "What are you doing?" he asked.

"Seducing you?" she smiled.

He shook his head. "Seduce me? Not!" and he rolled her on her back and proceeded to have his way with her.

Buffy left to get ready for work and Jay showered and shaved and walked out to see what was for breakfast. Neither Dawn nor Buffy had made an appearance so he decided to whip up a quick batch of pancakes. He found everything with relative ease and was starting to stack the finished ones on a plate when first Dawn, then Buffy and Willow appeared.

"Wow, a man cooking us breakfast, we could get used to this." Dawn said. Jay smiled at the girls and set plates, silverware and napkins in a pile and the stack of pancakes on the table.

"Dig in Ladies." He said and went to finish the rest of the cooking. Buffy smiled at the others and started setting out the plates and everyone sat down to eat. Giles came out and walked over to Jay who handed him a cup of tea.

"Here, the hordes are already eating." Giles chuckled and moved over to sit at the table.

Faith wandered down the stairs, and toward the food. "Hey B, you fell into roses this time. He's hot and cooks too. Let me know if you get tired of him." She said and sat down as Jay looked at Buffy, eyebrows raised.

Buffy laughed, "Not on your life Faith. Finders keepers." Giles and Jay chuckled. Jay finished up the last of the pancakes and sat next to Giles with his own coffee. Dawn had finished and stood, reaching over to get a couple of plates, silverware and to steal the syrup from Faith, before setting it in front the men.

Then Willow looked at the men in astonishment. "Ok, Giles what gives? Last night you were all like 'he's an outsider, don't trust him' and now you are ok with each other." Jay shrugged and Giles mirrored the movement, causing the girls to moan in unison, "Oh God, they've bonded."

Later-

Jay stood in the front yard with Xander who was there on his lunch break. Both of them were staring at the house, arms crossed over their chest and serious expressions on their faces. The house needed help, no doubt about it.

Xander scratched his head, "I've been trying to keep ahead of the damage, but with working, patrolling and trying to have a life, not to mention not enough money, well, you see." He said.

Jay nodded, "Well, money's no object now. I think the roof needs to come first. Can you find a crew to come out and start right away?" he asked.

Xander nodded. "I know a crew that could be here this afternoon."

Jay shook his head, "No, make it while Buffy's at work. Less problems that way."

Xander laughed, "Your funeral man."

They did a walk around and Jay made mental notes, 'fix porch railing, paint windows, fix gutter', until the got back to the front.

He turned to Xander, "Tell you what. Get me two competent crews and we could have the roof and the little stuff done in a day."

Xander nodded, "I'll make the calls today, and let you know tonight." And he got into his truck and left.

Jay walked in the front door and decided to do a load of laundry. He wandered upstairs and grabbed dirty clothesbaskets from Buffy and what he assumed was Willow and Dawns' room before heading back downstairs. He turned his head back and hollered, "Faith, I'm doing a coupla loads of laundry, bring anything down you need done." Then he went down into the basement.

Faith jogged down to the basement, a little surprised. "Gee J, bored already?" Faith wisecracked as she dumped a pile of clothes on the floor.

Jay was busy sorting and looked up, "Hey, I've got nothing better to do and I just can't sit around unless racing is on." He threw some clothes in along with detergent and started the washer. He made sure he had hangers and baskets for the clean things.

Faith went to sit on the cot along the wall, and watched him curiously. "Ok, what's your deal?" she asked.

Jay leaned against the washer and smiled at the brunette slayer, "What do you mean?" he asked innocently.

Faith gestured, "Trying to fix B's life?"

Shaking his head no he laughed, "Buffy works harder than any 3 people I know. I'm on vacation and need something to do, that's all." Now Faith shook her head.

"Hey, I saw you and Xan yapping in the front yard. I know that you are planning to do something with the house."

He pushed himself off of the washer and wandered to examine the training area, "I don't know what to tell you Faith. When you care for someone you do things for them. I think it's a law or something. I want to do things for Buffy, she means a lot to me." He shrugged, then walked back to sit beside Faith.

Faith smiled at him, "I think you're alright J. Let me know when the load is dry and I'll help you fold. Don't want you embarrassed by somebody's thong." She laughed and ran upstairs.

Buffy came home at about 4, Dawn behind her and stopped in surprise. Jay and Faith were arguing about Dr. Phil on TV and folding clean laundry. "Well, isn't this the last thing I expected to see." She quipped, dropping her bag on the floor and closing the door behind Dawn.

Jay smiled and got up, kissing Buffy sweetly. "Hey Babe, how was your day?" he asked and she laughed, walking around to sit beside him and fold some laundry.

"Hey Faith." She said and Faith nodded, busy folding a towel. Answering Jay's question, "My day was good, 2 fights and a girl who wanted to run away. Only a mildly headachey day." They finished up the laundry and Faith and Buffy took it upstairs to deliver to the right rooms.

Faith stopped Buffy and looked at her, "You're not going to let him get away are you?" Buffy sat on Faith's bed and pondered the question.

"I don't know if there is anything beyond the now. Right now I'm enjoying him and don't want to look too hard for answers that might not be there."

Faith nodded, "I guess that's the way to look at it in our work." And they got back to their deliveries.

Faith had cooked a delicious beef stew and everyone was sitting and chatting while Dawn and Willow cleared the table. Giles excused himself to do some research, Jay and Xander making faces at each other.

Buffy stood, "Hey, do you want to patrol with me tonight?" she asked Jay. He tilted his head thoughtfully, "If I get broke you'll need to call the General and explain." He said and Buffy waved a careless hand, "Not to worry, I'll protect you."
