Jenny and Xander strained to see over the heads of the others in the Sunnydale Airport arrival lounge. Her heart did a skip when she saw him again for the first time in years. God! He even looked sexier. Gone were the tweeds and glasses. He was now wearing casual jeans, a green sweater and a brown suede jacket. His eyes caught hers and his whole face lit up. So did hers.

Dropping his bags on the floor, he ran over to her. She met him half way and he enveloped her into his warm arms. "Oh God, Jenny! It's so good to hold you again."

Still holding tightly onto him, she looked up into his eyes. "It's good to be held by you again. God! I've missed you Rupert."

They moved at the same time, their lips meeting in a hungry kiss. Willow and Xander exchanged embarrassed and then amused glances. They only ended the kiss when the crowd started to jostle them, trying to get past. Not letting go of each other, they moved out of the crowds' way. "Guess I'll get your luggage then!" Xander quipped and picked them up before anyone tripped over them.

Cupping her face preciously in his hands, Rupert said, "I love you."

"I love you too."

He let one hand run through the length of her hair, down to the middle of her back. "Your hair's grown."

"Umm." She reached up to him and trailed her hand over his forehead and down his cheek. "No glasses!"

"Contacts."

"Ah!" She made a job of looking him over. "And no tweed either. Did the fashion police finally get you?" she smiled at him and laughed. Smiling at her, he pulled her tightly against him again and kissed her, silencing her laughter.

"Okay guys, you think maybe you could take this somewhere else? Like a hotel room!" Xander gibed.

Rupert and Jenny reluctantly ended the kiss. "Sounds like a good idea to me," Jenny smiled.

"Yes, I like the sound of that too," Rupert smiled back at her.

Xander rolled his eyes and both Jenny and Rupert laughed. Remembering Willow, Jenny turned towards her. "Hey Willow!" She held her arms open to the now young woman.

Willow rushed into Jenny's arms and hugged her tightly. Willow murmured, "I can't believe you're really here! Wow! I'm so glad you're back." Pulling back Willow added, "I love your hair."

"Thanks Willow. I see you've cut yours, it suits you." Willow beamed at Jenny's praise.

Willow, Jenny and Rupert walked out of the airport arm in arm. Not wanting to let go of each other, Jenny and Rupert got into the back of the car, and Willow rode shot-gun in the front with Xander. "So, want me to drop you and Giles off at your hotel Ms. Calendar?" Xander asked. "You know, so you can catch up!"

Jenny looked at Rupert and he nodded. "Yeah. That'd be good."

At the hotel, after Jenny had given Willow another hug, Xander and Willow got back in the car and drove off towards Buffy's. Jenny linked Rupert's arm, saying, "Let's get your luggage upstairs."

She led him up to her hotel room. Once inside, Rupert immediately dropped his luggage and took Jenny in his arms for another long kiss.

Moving to the sofa in the hotel room, they sat down together and cuddled up. Picking up the phone next to the sofa, Rupert called room service and asked them to bring up a bottle of champagne.

Once room service had gone, Jenny settled back into Rupert's arms, with a glass of champagne. "Umm, this is good."

"Yes, in more ways than one."

She looked up at him, and turning her head, kissed him on the lips. Then she snuggled her head against his shoulder, in the crook of his neck. He kissed the top of her head and rested his head on top of hers. They sat contentedly like this, in each other's arms, sipping champagne, just relishing being together again.

When they had finished their glass of champagne, Rupert made to get up. Jenny made a moan of protest. He smiled and kissed her. "I have something I want to ask you." Grudgingly, she let him get up.

To her complete surprise, he got down on one knee in front of her, and took a small jewellery box out of his pocket. Opening it up, he smiled at her as her eyes went wide in understanding. "Jenny, I never want to spend another day or night without you again. Will you marry me?"

With an emotional "Yes," she flung herself into his arms and hugged him. The pair of them ended up on the floor, with Jenny lay on top of him. They started to laugh.

Jenny leaned down and kissed him. Rupert ran his arms along her back and through her hair as the kiss intensified. Tongues gently caressed as they finally let go and gave in to their love. Rupert ran his hand lower, over her small backside and stroked it. Jenny moaned into his mouth.

He was about to expand his caressing to other parts of her body, when to his surprise, she pulled back. He looked at her questioningly. She held up her ring finger, "We forgot to put the ring on."

He smiled. "Ah, yes! Where did it go?" Both Jenny and he looked around beside them.

Spying the box on the floor not far from them, where Rupert had dropped it in his need to hold her, she reached for it and picked it up. Thankfully, the ring was still safely inside. "Here, you put in on." She handed him the ring and held out her hand to him.

Slowly, he placed the engagement ring on her finger. And then, raised her hand to his lips and kissed it. "So, are we gonna stay here on the floor or move to the bed?" Jenny asked.

In answer, Rupert gently rolled her off him, stood up and sweeping her into his arms, carried her to the bed. Placing her on top of the sheets, he lay down beside her. Jenny kicked her shoes off and motioned for him to do the same. He complied and removed his socks as well, to Jenny's satisfaction.

Propping himself up on one arm beside her, he reached out with his free hand and gently stroked her face. She reached up and ran her hand around the back of his neck, then pulled him down for a kiss.

They were finally able to give in to their emotions and let go. One after the other, articles of clothing were thrown to the floor as their passion for each other increased. Their need for each other was strong, but they were gentle.

Rupert rolled on top of her and kissed his way down Jenny's naked body, and then back up again, sending shivers of delight down her spine. He wanted to savour every part of the woman he loved. He had never ached like this for anyone before. He gave special attention to the backs of her knees, licking and kissing and she moaned in pleasure at the sensations.

Kissing her on the mouth again, he moulded her breasts with his hands. Trailing kisses down her neck and across each breast, he took her left one in his mouth and suckled it. His hand stroking her right breast at the same time. Jenny writhed underneath him. Moving to the other breast, he gave that the same attention.

Looping her legs around his, Jenny flipped them over and rolled on top of Rupert. It was her turn to take her time and kiss and lick her way over him. Sitting up on him, she kneaded his nipples and tugged playfully at them. She smiled as she got a groan out of him. Bending over him, her hair tickling his skin, she kissed and licked his chest. Taking a nipple in her mouth, she gently nipped it.

Kissing her way down his torso, she headed towards his, by now, erect penis. Looking up at him, she ran a hand along his length, her other hand gripped his balls and massaged them. Rupert let out a loud groan and arched his back. Jenny lowered her head and took him in her mouth.

Rupert couldn't take anymore, he needed her. Gently pulling her head up, he kissed her on the lips and in one swift movement, he rolled her onto her back. "Do you have any protection?" he asked.

She indicated to the bedside drawer. He reached inside and took out a condom. Tearing it open, he quickly rolled it on. Jenny pulled his head down for another kiss, and as she opened her mouth to his tongue, he also slide inside her. They both let out a groan of pleasure.

Their lovemaking was passionate, yet tender and afterwards, lying in each other's arms, they both felt sated and totally content. Kissing Jenny on the lips, Rupert pulled the covers around them and snuggled closer up to her.
