Chapter 14
Smiling at the papers strewn across her sisters bed and floor Buffy knocks on the door before stepping in.
Looking up at the knock Dawn smiles. "What's up?"
Taking a deep breath Buffy sits down beside Dawn. "I'm just checking in with you, see how you're doing."
"I'm fine." Dawn grins to herself, not giving Buffy anything extra to work with, knowing what she's wanting.
"Dawn!" Buffy states exasperatedly. "How do you feel about what might be happening here?" Buffy finally states bluntly.
Surprised that Buffy actually came out and asked, Dawn smiles. "Honestly, Buffy, it's weird. Tara explained things and I can see how this could and probably will happen. It's just a little strange, you know?" Watching Buffy look down at her hands, that's clenching tightly in her lap, Dawn reaches over and lays her hand overtop Buffy's. "Not bad strange Buffy. Just different strange. I asked Tara for time to kind of think things over and try and figure it out in my head. So far that's what I've come up with. I…I don't think I have a problem with it. Honestly, I think you all deserve whatever happiness you can get." Smirking suddenly as Buffy makes eye contact with her she continues "And if that's getting into a freaky relationship? What the hell. More power to you!"
"DAWN!" Buffy loudly exclaims before her sisters snickering turns to laughter and giving in, Buffy starts laughing too. "You know, this has been the weirdest few days in my life. First I figure out I'm in love with Tara and she returns the feelings. Then Tara brings up the fact that she knows I care about Faith, making me face up to my feelings about her, now a possible threesome? This is absolutely the be all end all." Buffy shakes her head in disbelief.
"Tara was the one that brought this up?" Dawn asks incredulously, before thinking it through. After thinking about it, Dawn giggles. "My sweet, shy, Wicca, mother wanna-be is a little, no make that a lot more adventurous than I ever thought she would be."
"Personally, I've come to find out recently, that Tara isn't as shy as we thought she was. Or maybe it's more of a case that she's becoming more comfortable being herself." Buffy states quietly before smiling. "It makes me feel good that we're helping her become the person she should have been all along, you know?"
Dawn nods her head and wraps her arms around Buffy. "Make sure that she's happy. Actually that you're all happy, that's what's important. If you're happy, I'm happy."
Hugging her sister back tightly Buffy smiles through tear filled eyes. "I love you. Tara was right, you are maturing and becoming a young lady."
"I love you too, Buffy." Dawn whispers back. "Now, why don't you go back downstairs and see what your girlfriend and possible future girlfriend are up to."
Laughing at her sister Buffy ruffles her hair before heading downstairs.
Buffy comes to a stop as she hit's the bottom of the stairs, sitting down she just watches as Faith, standing behind Tara helps the witch through the Tai Chi movements. Her body lightly pressed against Tara's back, her arms under Tara's working the witch gently through each move. Faith being gentle wasn't something Buffy had ever imagined the woman being. But seeing her with Tara, she realizes that Faith was never given that opportunity.
"Ready to try on your own? I'll be in front of and to the side of you so you can follow my movements, okay?" Faith asks quietly as she eases away from the witch to move in front, taking a breath to relax Faith starts the Tai-Chi movements, sensing as Tara matches her movements.
Smiling, Buffy watches as Tara matches Faith's moves perfectly, realizing that though the witch didn't have the strength of a slayer, it doesn't mean that she can't be part of the training. Nodding her head at Faith showing Tara the form, Buffy smiles realizing that between the three of them, they are what each other needs. They both need Tara in their lives, the calming, stabilizing influence of the witch is something neither slayer should be without.
"Hey, B. Are you gonna join us or just sit there and watch us?" Faith asks as she continues in the slow deliberate movements.
Watching as the sweat was starting to gather on the witch, Buffy grins. "Personally, I'm enjoying the view right now. You know, Tara, we really need to buy you some jeans to wear, possibly some sweat pants for when you continue training with us."
Tara stumbles over the movements stopping at Buffy's words. "I wasn't planning on training with you, I mean, witch here. Not slayer."
Faith chuckles quietly. "The Tai Chi you were doing with me is one of the things we do for training. Not everything is about strength and speed you know. You should train with us. It would be good for you to learn basic defense skills first then we can work on offensive moves." Making eye contact with Buffy she smiles self consciously. "It probably wouldn't hurt for Squirt to learn, too."
"Great idea, Faith." Buffy nods her agreement. "My schedule at work is the only thing that really changes. Dawn with her schooling is the same every day, and Tara's schedule is the same from week to week for the rest of the semester."
"We can get together some kind of schedule. Personally, I enjoyed the Tai Chi. I don't get as much physical exercise as I should, that would help me get rid of these." Tara states, while running her hands down her hips, frowning slightly.
"Don't you dare!" Buffy jumps up growling slightly. "Don't you change anything, I like you just the way you are!"
"Come on, Faith help me out here, my hips could use some slimming down." Tara pleads.
"Nope. Not going there Blondie. Personally I'm on board with B in this department. You're perfect the way you are, I wouldn't want you to change either." Faith states shaking her head. "I'll help out with teaching you the moves, but it won't be because you need to lose weight. I just want you to have skills where you can protect yourself somewhat."
Literally collapsing into a lotus position on the floor Tara looks from Buffy to Faith "You're both going to be a pain in my ass. Leave me alone." Tara pouts.
"Sorry, not going to happen." Buffy states trying not to laugh at the witch's pouting lip. "Your lips are absolutely the most tantalizing lips in the world, your pouting makes it worse. So please stop before I attack." Buffy grumbles lowly as she heads towards the witch.
Faith looks in surprise at Buffy then turns to see Tara's pout and silently agrees with the other slayers assessment.
Tara just continues to pout, daring the slayer to make good on her words. As Buffy drops down in front of her and sucks her bottom lip in her mouth, Tara giggles.
Sucking firmly on the lip she captured Buffy grins when Tara's giggles turn to a low moan. Finally releasing the lip Buffy grins at the witch. "I love you. You, not your body."
Mock scowling at the slayer Tara growls in a low voice, "You better be loving my body. You will have a very unhappy girlfriend on your hands if you don't." Seeing the look crossing Buffy's face, Tara chuckles and finally laughs loudly. Winking at Buffy she looks over to Faith, who's trying to ignore the two women. "Of course, if you aren't willing to love my body, I'll look around and see if there's anyone else that would be up for the job."
Looking in shock at the Wicca, Faith raises her hands backing up slightly. "I ain't getting in the middle of this fight. This is between you two."
Buffy frowns, stands and puts her hands on her hips, eyeing Faith up and down while Tara stands looking at Faith with a grin on her face. "What do you mean you ain't getting in the middle? We ain't pretty enough for you?" Buffy growls.
"Yo, wait a minute. I didn't mean anythin'." Faith starts back pedaling away from an advancing, she thinks, angry slayer. "B! Come on! I didn't mean nothing." Faith, keeping an eye on the advancing Buffy says "Blondie, a little help here!" Hearing the blonde bust up laughing makes Faith look to Tara in confusion. "Your girlfriend is about to fry my ass and I don't even know why!"
"Faith, you aren't dense. Figure it out." Tara states shaking her head. "I'm going to go change for patrol, you two get the living room straightened out."
Looking at Buffy who's standing there looking at her with her hands on her hips, just watching, Faith yells "What the fuck am I missing here? Obviously I'm missing something but what?"
"Come on, let's get the furniture back where it belongs before Tara lays into us when she gets back." Buffy states quietly, picking up the coffee table to set back in front of the couch.
Both women quickly get the living room set to rights and grab weapons, the whole time Faith keeps looking at Buffy, trying to figure out what was going on. Replaying what happened in her mind over again, Faith shakes her head. Blondie looking at her when saying that she would find someone else to love her body, B getting upset (? Did she) and coming at her questioning that they weren't pretty enough for her. Faith shakes her head thinking about past comments made.
Sitting down heavily on the end of the couch Faith looks with stunned eyes at Buffy who's strapping her sword against her back and tucking a stake into the back of her pants. Hearing Tara come down the stairs Faith's eyes open wide. Tara's wearing tight blue jeans with Doc Martins and a tank top that didn't quite reach the waist band of the jeans. Feeling her body tighten at the sight of the curvaceous blond, Faith closes her eyes tight.
Seeing Faith looking at Buffy with the stunned look on her face, Tara thinks that maybe, finally Faith might realize what's going on. As Faith's eyes turn on her and she can actually see the desire crossing the Dark Slayer's face as she looks over her body, Tara feels her body flush with the obvious appraisal.
Buffy turns around as she hears Tara on the stairs. "Oh, my God." Buffy whispers looking over Tara's body. Glancing to see what Faith's reaction is Buffy nods her head. 'Definitely interested.' She thinks to herself seeing the emotions on Faith's face. Looking back at Tara, Buffy swallows hard. "Tara, not to be a girlfriend that orders you around or anything, but I'm going to burn your skirts. You will be wearing jeans from now on."
Faith opens her eyes at Buffy talking to Tara. Nodding her head in agreement Faith huskily whispers out "B, might want to get her a pair of leather pants, she would really be hot in black leather pants."
"Faith, we're gonna have a hard enough time keeping men away from her, you want to put her in leather? We'll have to blind every man and woman in Sunnydale. They'll all be after her." Looking Tara up and down Buffy's eyes darken slightly. "Yeah, black leather would look good. But I think white leather would be the color for her to wear. Black's more your trademark, Faith. I like wearing brown or red. Get her some tight crop tops to wear with tight white leather pants." Panting slightly at the thought Buffy walks slowly up to the witch who's eyes are wide in shock at the conversation going on around her. "My God. Look at this." Buffy whispers looking at the strip of stomach showing. The softness the slight roundness poking out. Looking at the belly button, Buffy groans. Running her fingers lightly over the exposed skin, unable to keep from touching Buffy turns to look at Faith. "What do you think?" Buffy asks, lightly running her fingers around Tara's belly button.
"Before I say anything else," Faith states in an extremely low, hoarse voice. "I gotta know, are you two offering what I think you're offering?"
Tara places her hand on Buffy's arm whispering "Let me." At Buffy's nod, Tara gently kisses her lips before turning to face Faith. "I guess it depends on what you think we're offering Faith." Sitting down in front of the slayer, Tara looks her in the eyes. "I'll tell you what we're not offering. We're not offering a one night stand. We're not offering the get some get gone mentality. What we are offering is friendship, caring, family and most importantly, love. The decision is yours. We won't force you, we won't be mad at you if this isn't what you want, just know that no matter what you still have all that we are offering." Here Tara smiles gently at the slayer. "It just won't be in a more physical sense. It will be just in a family way." Leaning in to where there's just a breath separating her lips from Faith's, Tara whispers "Just know that Buffy loves you and actually has loved you since you first came to Sunnydale. And I am coming to love you as much as she does." Searching the slayer's eyes seeing the battle going on inside Tara gently places her lips against Faith's, before pulling away and standing up to walk back over to Buffy.
"If you have anything you want to add, Buffy, you might want to say it now." Tara quietly states looking at Faith sitting on the couch.
Slowly walking to stand in front of Faith, before kneeling Buffy looks her in the eye, seeing the same struggle Tara had seen. Seeing the love fighting against the thought that no one could love her. "Everything she told you is true, Faith. Just one more thing, you do deserve to be loved. We all do." Buffy leans in and places a firm hard kiss to Faith's mouth before pulling away. "We all do." She states again as a tear slips down Faith's face.
Slowly standing Buffy looks back and sees Tara approaching quietly. Offering her hand to Faith, Tara gently states "Let's go on patrol Faith. We need to save the world from the demons." Faith gently takes the hand looking searchingly in those deep blue eyes, Faith stands and looks down, not believing what these two beautiful women are offering her.
Buffy smirks slightly at Tara looking her outfit up and down. "I just want to know where you're gonna put a stake in that outfit."
Turning to look at Buffy with a raised eyebrow Tara states in a slightly mocking tone. "Why, my dear, I don't need to have a stake I have two slayers to protect me from the evils of Sunnydale." Rolling her eyes Tara walks over to the wall and grabs her leather jacket "Plus I'm wearing my jacket, it has three stakes sewn into hidden pockets inside it along with the holy water and cross that I carry."
Realizing that neither Buffy nor Tara were going to push her for a decision. Faith looks up from one woman to the other. "Why?" She questions softly.
"Why, what, Faith?" Tara answers just as softly.
"Why are you offering me a place in your hearts, why are you offering to let me be a part of your relationship?" Faith asks in a strained voice.
"We aren't offering you a place in our hearts, Faith. You already are in our hearts." Tara states firmly.
"And because we love you, we don't want it to be our relationship." Buffy states emphasizing 'our' with a gesture between herself and Tara. "We want it to be our relationship." This time gesturing to include Faith.
"Let's patrol and talk." Faith states slowly, thinking about what was being offered.
As they are walking down the road heading towards the first cemetery, Faith glances occasionally from one woman to the other. "Are we talking about all three of us together at the same time here, or just as couples, like Buffy and Tara one night, me and Buffy another night and Tara and me the next?" Faith asks as they get to the first cemetery, cruising around looking for fresh graves and making sure there weren't any older vampires in the vicinity.
"Well, we haven't really discussed things that far." Buffy states looking questioningly at Tara. "You're the one that brought all this up originally, which way were your thoughts on this?"
Faith speaks up "WHAT?" Turning to the witch with a raised eyebrow. "This is all happening because of you?"
Buffy nods her head. "Yep. If she hadn't brought it up, I never would have acknowledged my feelings for you."
Tara grins her lopsided grin looking at Faith. "I guess that you can blame me for your confusion." Shrugging her shoulders slightly "I'm not sorry for bringing it up. I know Buffy loves you, she loves me it went from there."
"Actually I think when she made the comment about herself being a Sex Kitten with two slayers for lovers, it got her thinking." Buffy smirks over at Tara.
Eyeing Tara up and down Faith smirks slightly "Oh, yeah. I can see sex kitten."
Just then a vampire breaks through the fresh grave they had been standing by, unconsciously waiting for him to rise. "Play or stake?" Faith asks Buffy.
"Stake him, he's new and he isn't going to have any money on him." Buffy smiles as Faith stakes the vampire right after she gets out the words 'stake him'.
Twirling the stake between her fingers, Faith prowls around the cemetery. "Do you feel anything else, B?"
Shaking her head Buffy glances around. "No, I don't. Kind of unusual, most vamps check on their progeny. Maybe Daddy was one of the vamps we staked last night."
"Let's head on out, then." Faith states before putting her stake away. "So, how was this possibly going to work, if this does come into being."
"Actually, I kind of figured we would be doing things as a threesome and as individual couples. As long as everybody knows what the other two are doing, we'd more or less play it by ear. We just need to make sure to keep an open communication between all of us. I don't want one person to feel left out or anything. Jealousy between the three of us needs to be non-existent for this relationship to work." Tara states calmly as she had been thinking about this, trying to figure it out in her own mind.
"And we would be in a relationship, the three of us. No other people will be invited into our beds. No more get some get gone, Faith." Buffy states quietly, not accusingly.
Faith thinks about that. 'Can I give up the one night stands? Yes. That wouldn't be anything to give up, especially if I had these two in my life. Can I allow myself to love? To love these two women?' As they walked Faith thought about what she was being offered, what she had compared to this. Realizing she had nothing. She had always had nothing, because she wasn't willing to open herself up, to allow herself to love. These two women knew her darkest secrets, and were still willing to love her. No, not willing to love her, they did love her and they would no matter what her decision was. Finally deciding Faith walks ahead of the two women and turns, facing them.
"Well, as I see it, there's only two more things that I need to know before my final decision is made." Faith states seriously looking from one woman to the other.
"What two things do you need to know?" Tara asks quietly, and just as she finishes asking the question, Faith's lips are pressing insistently against hers, strong arms pulling her into a gentle embrace as a questing tongue gently flicks out across her lips, making Tara moan in pleasure and then groan as the tongue gently strokes hers, enticing it into Faiths mouth, where Faith gently sucks and nibbles before releasing and following it back into Tara's mouth to gently duel for long moments, finally pulling away when the need to breathe became a necessity.
Slowly turning with passion filled eyes, Faith grins wickedly, pulling Buffy into a rough embrace, plundering her mouth roughly. Where her kiss with Tara had been gentle and teasing, this one was rough and taking. Violent battling for dominance between the two slayers, first battling in Buffy's mouth before Buffy chases Faith's tongue back into her own mouth, growling as Faith sucks roughly on her tongue before forcing her tongue back into Buffy's mouth, searching out all the nooks and cranny's before finally pulling back panting heavily.
Tara starts giggling and finally laughing loudly. "Well, Faith. What's your decision?" Realizing what Faith had needed to know.
"Oh, yeah." Faith growls lowly before grinning at the blonde. Turning with a lighter step the three women continue on patrol.
"You mean to tell me, she wanted to know how good of a kisser we were before she made her decision?" Buffy asks exasperatedly.
"Yep. If I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you two, I want to make sure you're good kissers. Can't abide a terrible kisser." Faith states seriously. "If a person can't kiss, how can they do other things right?"
At that Buffy stops, looking in stunned disbelief at Faith. "Why the fuck didn't you let me in on that before I met Riley! That damn boy couldn't kiss to save his life. He was all open mouth as wide as it will go and slobbering all over me. Damn!" Buffy continues griping as the other two women laugh at her.
"I don't know about that, but I can honestly say I want Faith to give me a kiss like she did you, Buffy." Tara grins evilly at Faith. "Just because I'm the only true lesbian out of this threesome, it doesn't mean I want it all soft and sweet and gentle all the time, you know."
Faith's eyes light up and she grins ear to ear. "Oh, yeah." Quickly reaching in and treating the blonde to a rough, searching kiss Buffy shakes her head at the two women.
"How come I have this feeling that things are going to get hot and heavy quick?" Buffy states rolling her eyes before feeling lips pressing hard and insistent against hers, quickly opening her mouth to the persistent tongue Buffy groans loudly at the quick flicking of a tongue against hers before the tongue retreats quickly followed by the lips. Opening haze filled eyes she opens to see laughing blue eyes looking back at her.
"Because you may be right." Tara smirks before heading off to continue patrol with Buffy and Faith grinning at each other and turning to watch the swaying of the blonde's hips.
"Definitely can't let her try to get rid of them." Faith whispers quietly to Buffy as they start following Tara.
"You got that right." Buffy growls enjoying the view.
"If you two are finished ogling my ass, would you like to come up here and join me?" Tara calls out shaking her head at the two slayers.
"We weren't ogling. We were…." Buffy looks to Faith for help.
"We were appreciating the gentle swaying of your derriere." Faith grins at her eloquence.
"In other words you were ogling my ass." Tara states with her hands on hips looking at the two women.
Looking at each other, Buffy and Faith look back at Tara and grin "Yeah, we were ogling your ass." They both admit.
As Tara turns around and continues walking, Faith and Buffy smile at each other. Buffy leans towards Faith, whispering "We are definitely burning her skirts and buying her nothing but jeans and leather pants, you with me?"
"Oh, yeah." Faith whispers back, quickly pulling away as Tara stops and turns to look at both of them with a frown on her face.
"Are we actually going to do a patrol tonight?" Tara asks in exasperation at the two slayers.
"Yes, ma'am." Faith states quickly walking up beside the witch with Buffy following quickly to stand on the other side of Tara. Both women wait for Tara to start walking again.
Tara looks from Faith to Buffy. "What are you two doing now?"
"We're waiting for you." Faith answers.
"Goddess save me from slayers trying to drive me insane." Tara mumbles before turning around to continue walking, both women walking with her.
"So, what's the plan for tomorrow?" Faith asks as they head into the next cemetery, not noticing any new graves before continuing on patrol.
"Well, my first class is at 9:00 am and I have classes all day tomorrow until 3:00 with a break from 12:30 - 1:00 for lunch." Tara states continuing walking. "I usually take a piece of fruit for lunch."
Faith frowns slightly at the blonde when she states she usually only eats a piece of fruit for lunch. Turning to look at Buffy, she sees Buffy frowning also. "Okay, B. We'll take care of that. What's your schedule for tomorrow?"
"DMP arrive at 5:00 for breakfast and work through lunch, I should be home by 2:00." Buffy gives a quick run down. "When I get home, I might get started on the garage and move the wood and tools downstairs. The rest of the stuff we need to go through, see if there's anything worth keeping." Hesitating slightly, Buffy feels a tear sliding down her cheek. "Mom put a lot of stuff out there that she was going to go through, but never got the chance."
"Oh, Buffy." Tara quickly gathers Buffy in a tight embrace, rocking her gently.
"I miss her, you know? Most of the time I'm okay, but occasionally it sneaks up on me." Buffy quietly states into the witch's neck.
"Your mom was the best, B." Faith states, her voice slightly rougher than normal. "She always treated me right. I was sorry when I found out."
"She always liked you, Faith." Buffy sniffs, lifting her head looking at Faith over Tara's shoulder. "She once told me that she should have insisted on you coming to live with us, instead of staying in the motels."
"She was a class act." Faith smiles sadly. Watching as Buffy finally pulls herself together gently kissing the witch's cheek before reaching out and clasping Faith's forearm, giving it a gentle squeeze.
"Let's continue. Tonight's been a slow night so far." Buffy states looking around.
"We're only a few blocks away from the Bronze, wanna make a run by there and see if there's any action?" Faith offers.
"Sure. It's usually good for a vamp or two. After that we can make a run around the college campus and see if we can find any trying to have a late night co-ed snack." Buffy suggests.
"Okay, let's get going." Faith states heading towards the Bronze at a good clip, quickly followed by the other two.
"I think she just wants to dance." Buffy whispers loudly towards Tara smirking slightly.
"If we have time for one or two dances while scoping out the place, I say we go for it!" Faith whispers loudly back. "I want to see Blondie there shaking that ass."
Tara's eyes open wide and her head starts shaking quickly. "No. No. I don't dance. Not going to happen, I'll watch."
Faith smirks at the witch. "You'll dance." Turning and grinning at Buffy "What do you think? She needs to have the fun, right?"
Buffy grins in return, "Oh, yeah. She needs to have the fun. You going to give her the treatment, Faith?"
Tara turns pale. "Please you two, come on, I really can't dance. You're not going to make me, are you?"
"Okay, you don't have to dance." Faith gives in quickly, hearing Tara breath a sigh of relief, she lets her get a step ahead of her and Buffy before winking at Buffy. "Nope, you don't have to dance at all, we'll do all the dancing." Faith whispers so low only Buffy could hear her, making Buffy smirk.
Faith pays their cover charge. "You want to hit the upstairs while Blondie and I check out down here?" Faith asks quietly.
"Meet you on the dance floor." Buffy grins, heading upstairs.
Grasping Tara's hand, Faith leads them around the main floor of the Bronze. Letting go of her hand, Faith quietly states "Stay close, but not real close, okay?" Getting a nod in answer, Faith quickly walks up to a guy that has a woman pressed against the dark corner by the bathrooms. Quickly staking the vampire, Faith checks the woman, seeing she's still conscious, she tells her to get out of here and be more careful in the future.
Walking back over to the witch, Faith takes her hand, lacing her fingers with Tara's and smiling gently. "Well, that makes the tally so far, Slayers two, vamps zero. Do you want a soda?" Faith asks as they continue to walk around the outer edges of the dance floor, seeing if there are any more vampires.
"A coke would be nice." Tara smiles at Faith, feeling the slayer gently squeezing her fingers.
Walking up to the bar she sees Buffy coming down the stairs, brushing at her pants. "B must have got one." Buffy quickly walks toward the two women just as Faith is paying for the three cokes she ordered. Handing one to Buffy and then one to Tara, she quickly grabs hers, heading towards an empty table at the edge of the dance floor.
Sitting down at the table and sipping her drink Tara glances around. Watching Faith head out onto the dance floor, eyes opening wide as she sees her start dancing a couple feet from the table.
Buffy's trying not to smirk as Faith starts her sensual rhythm, that usually had every male at her side within seconds. Looking over at Tara and seeing her eyes open wide, Buffy grins before looking back out onto the dance floor. Seeing a couple guys easing up to the dark slayer, Buffy growls lowly. Seeing Faith shake her head and push them away, but continue dancing, Buffy smiles at Faith in appreciation. Catching Buffy's smile Faith grins back. Glancing over to Tara she raises and eyebrow.
Buffy looks at Tara and sees that she's watching Faith intently. Slowly easing off the seat and towards Tara, Buffy whispers in her ear "Come on, let's go dance with Faith and let all these guys know she's taken."
Tara, not even thinking nods her head, in a complete daze. She had never seen anyone dance so blatantly sexy in her life. Those moves were putting all kinds of ideas in Tara's head. Letting Buffy lead her out on the dance floor it takes her a few minutes to realize that she was dancing, following the Dark Slayer's moves, not unlike how she had followed her Tai Chi movements earlier that evening. Stiffening slightly she feels Buffy ease up behind her "Oh, no you don't. You were doing absolutely wonderful. Don't think, just flow with the music." She whispers in Tara's ear, gently resting her hands on the blonde's hip smiling as she feels Tara relax as Faith eases in closer against her body literally slithering up and down Tara's body, making her groan at the pure sexual display.
Faith smiles into Tara's dark blue eyes. "Seems to me you can dance. I don't ever want to hear you say you can't dance again, okay?"
Swallowing and nodding her head in acceptance, Tara can't say a word as she feels Buffy pressing against her back and Faith against her front.
"I think you broke her, Faith." Buffy huskily comments. "And if we continue on with this, we're not going to make it to the campus tonight. So I say let's finish our sodas and head out." Pulling away from Tara to turn towards the table, she hears a whimper come from the blonde. Turning back she looks at Tara, realizing both Faith and herself had pulled away at the same time. "Faith, might want to keep some contact going here for a few moments."
"I am so not complainin'" Faith growls lightly, easing back into Tara's body hearing Tara sigh quietly, she grins. Putting Tara's hands on her waist and gently grasping the blonde's hips, Faith gently guides Tara back to the table. Handing Tara a drink, which she finally has enough cognizance to take and sip, Faith smiles at Buffy. "We need to do this again, preferably after patrol and when we don't have to get up early in the morning."
"We certainly will." Buffy murmurs watching as the dazed look in the blondes eyes slowly dissipates.
"What the hell just happened?" Tara mumbles blushing deeply.
"You showed you can definitely dance, and you promised to come dancing with us again." Faith chuckles.
"Please tell me were weren't practically having sex out there on the dance floor." Tara begs.
"Nope, we weren't." Buffy grins. "All clothes stayed on. No inappropriate hand placement." Giggling at Faith, Buffy continues. "I mean other than the fact that Faith was practically rubbing herself all over you and you were doing a damn fine job of returning the favor, no, there wasn't any sex on the dance floor."
"Oh, Goddess." Tara cries out quietly before burying her face in her hands, her shoulders shaking.
Buffy and Faith hop off their chairs, Buffy putting an arm around the Wicca's shaking shoulders and Faith rubbing her hands up and down Tara's arms.
"Tara, I'm sorry. I won't ever do that again, I promise. Please don't be upset." Faith quietly but urgently pleads.
Finally a small laugh, followed by more laughs escape the witch, shocking the two slayers. Before finally pulling her hands away from her face, they realize her shoulders were shaking from laughter, not tears.
"You two are going to turn me into one big puddle." Tara laughs as she shakes her head at the two slayers. "I need some fresh air, let's head out."
"I need to visit the bathroom real quick. If you two want to go ahead and head out, I'll catch up to you." Buffy states quickly before heading to the bathroom.
"Let's go, Blondie." Faith grins watching Buffy leave.
"Okay. Are you okay with this, Faith?" Tara asks seriously as they leave the Bronze, walking towards the campus.
"You mean all of us together?" Faith asks quietly.
"Yes. I don't want you to feel like you're being pressured into anything here, because you really aren't." Tara explains.
"I know I'm not. You two are actually offering me the world on a platter, you know?" Faith grins. "B ain't been with a woman before, has she?"
"No, she hasn't. I'm taking it you have?" Tara smirks slightly.
"Oh, yeah. Guys are easier, but I actually prefer women." Faith shrugs looking at the blonde. "I think you two should get together before bringing me into the mix, okay?"
"Why?" Tara wonders.
"Because with B not having experience, I just kind of figured her first time should be with you, not a combination to confuse matters." Faith smiles. "No splitting of time between us, if you know what I mean."
"Faith, you are a very considerate woman, you know that?" Tara smiles softly, wrapping her arm around the waist of the slayer as they continue their walk towards the college campus.
"Hey, there my two lovelies, what are you two doing?" Buffy comes up on the other side of Tara, wrapping her arm around the witch's waist.
"Heading towards campus tryin' to find some action, you?" Faith smirks over at the slayer.
"I go where the hot babes go." Buffy smirks back.
"Yeah, she was following us for the last two blocks ogling our butt's Faith." Tara stage whispers.
"Well, I know yours is ogle worthy, but mine is a little lacking right now." Faith states trying to look at her own ass.
Running her hand from Faith's waist down to her butt, Tara grabs a cheek before lightly smacking it. "We'll get you fed and filling out these pants properly in no time."
"Tara can definitely cook." Buffy grins patting her stomach lightly. "I've gained three pounds since she came to live with us. I'm going to have to start watching what I eat or my clothes won't be fitting me much longer."
"Nah, you can use a few pounds on ya there B." Faith nods looking her up and down. "Watch the hands, missy. There'll be consequences for that kind of thing." Faith leers at Tara.
"What kind of consequences?" Tara leers right back before blushing and giggling slightly. "Goddess, what is going on with me? I've never been this forward in my life before."
"Personally, it looks good on you." Buffy grins. "I just think you're feeling freer, not afraid of what people think. That's of the good." Buffy nods her head.
"Oooh, looks like we got a live one here, B." Faith growls low, coming up on a vampire following a young co-ed. "You want him?"
"Go ahead, Faith. You need help, let me know." Buffy smiles as she watches the feral grin cross Faith's face.
"Thanks B. I can definitely use a work out." Faith quickly runs up to the vampire, tackling him over into the grass before popping up quickly waiting for him to attack.
"Come on, blood breath. Let's see what you got." Faith taunts the vampire, making him take a swing which she ducks and rams a fist in his stomach. Bouncing back on the balls of her feet she shakes her head. "Come on, fang boy. You gonna let little ol' me get by with that?" As the vampire runs and lunges for the slayer, Faith spins out of his grasp and kicks him hard in the back, making him land face first. "B, this guy just ain't no fun."
As the vampire turns and snarls at her, Faith let's loose and pounds him literally in the ground, as the vampire is laying there dazed she quickly checks his pockets pulling out a few bills before staking the vamp. Walking towards Buffy and Tara, Faith looks down at the money and raises her eyebrows. "Not bad, little boy there had $300 on him."
"We keep this up, I might be able to catch up on some of the past due bills at the house." Buffy smiles happily.
"Okay. First things first, we get Buffy's bills caught up, of course keep the kitchen stocked with food and all other essentials we need in the house. After that I guess we can maybe go shopping?" Faith passes the idea onto the other women.
"That sounds good. Buffy, how much do you owe?" Tara questions.
"I don't even want to think about it, honestly." Buffy frowns slightly. "A few things I've been floating with partial payments, like the phone and electric bill. The house payment is about two payments behind. I guess roughly a couple thousand dollars should catch me up."
"The bike is in my name, I could sell it and easily get the money to catch up everything and have some left over." Faith suggests.
"No. Keep the bike, Faith. It might come in handy. Eventually I wouldn't mind getting a vehicle, but that's just more bills, plus the fact me and vehicles don't get along too well." Buffy smirks slightly, remembering when she had driven her mom's Jeep and it getting clobbered in the side.
"Plus, we can always borrow Xander's if we need a vehicle." Tara suggests. "I have a license, so I can drive it."
Looking around the campus, Faith shakes her head. "Damn, B. I figured this place would be hopping with vamps, what's going on?"
"It's pretty slow tonight, isn't it?" Buffy looks around. "Maybe the demon population found out there are two slayers in town and are laying low?"
"Could be. Well, I guess we can head home. Actually a halfway early night of it." Faith states looking at the witch's watch seeing it's only a little after 10:00. "Is that okay, B?"
"Yep. A early night sounds good. Plus four vampires not bad, but still a little slow. Let's head to the house." Buffy smiles, reaching down to grasp Tara's hand.
Faith leads the way home, followed by Buffy and Tara.
