REVIEWS:

Word - Fodder city! LOL

Just - Getting Xan's reaction to the three - plus a little fall-out from Faith being hurt. Nothing serious - some good fun at the end!

Lecter - First of all - Hope you are okay. I know how the idiots drive around here - they don't pay a damn bit of attention to people on motorcycles.Hell, they don't pay attention to anyone! I always believed Tara was a very powerful witch - that she just didn't use her powers. Hopefully I'll have time to read your story sometime this week. I've started a new story and I'm bringing this story to an end (There'll be roughly 26-27 Chapters to this one.)

Sink - I thought that was a very well-rounded chapter myself. Always of the good when there's action going on! I always believed Anya had probably done and seen everything in her 1200 + Years as a vengeance Demon. Nothing will shock someone that's been around that long!

Whiro - Personally I enjoy the unedited version myself! LOL - I definitely think it flows better and since I got a two thumbs up from you, I'll assume you agree! Usually lots of cutting and some re-wording. Drives me nuts because I hate doing it! That's why I got the web-site so I can leave it alone!

CHAPTER 17

Parking the motorcycle up near the garage door, Xander heads into the house to get his keys and leave the keys to the bike. He stops in shock looking at the couch in the living room as Buffy has Faith's head in her lap and is gently stroking her fingers through her hair. 'What the fuck?' Xander wonders to himself before turning as Tara taps him on the shoulder.

"Here's your keys, Xander. Thank you." Tara smiles softly at the young man. "I'm sorry for getting an attitude earlier." Looking over at Buffy and Faith her eyes fill with worry. "We've got to do something about Willow. I honestly didn't think she would physically harm anyone, but I guess I was wrong."

Xander looks at Faith and Buffy on the couch and back to Tara. "Tara…I kind of thought you and Buffy…" Trailing off he looks in Tara's eyes worriedly.

Smiling gently at Xander, Tara states quietly "You aren't wrong, Xander." Looking back at her lover and hopefully soon to be lover she looks back at Xander. "It's a little different dynamic now. Do you think you'll be okay with that?"

Xander blinks in confusion and looks from the two slayers back to Tara and back again. "Okay, what the hell am I missing here?" He asks quietly.

Tara can't help but giggle slightly. "I'm sorry, Xander. All three of us are in a relationship together. Or will be when Faith is healed up enough."

Xander stands there still not quite getting it then his eyes widen in surprise looking at Tara. As he continues thinking about it for a moment, his eyes start to glaze over.

Trying not to laugh as she watches the emotions crossing Xander's face Tara starts to blush as his mouth opens and a little bit of drool escapes. "Xander, go get Anya from the shop." Tara laughs smacking him in the shoulder.

"What?" Xander shakes his head looking at the blonde and then blushes when he realizes what he had been thinking. "Okay, get Anya, go home. I can do that." Turning to leave, he's stopped by Tara's voice.

"Do you think you'll be okay with this?" Tara asks quietly.

Xander looks at her before grinning widely. "I don't know, Tara. Three hot chicks, together? It might be too much for me to handle." Softening the grin he looks her in the eyes and seriously states "Do you love them?" At Tara's nod he smiles softly. "If you guys love each other I guess that's all that matters. Who am I to judge anyone? I think I've done enough of that. Plus I'm in love with an ex-vengeance demon, I think I need to grow up and let everyone else live their own lives."

Reaching up and kissing Xander gently on the cheek Tara pulls away smiling. "Thank you Xander."

Blushing and looking down Xander mumbles "You're welcome, Tara." before heading out of the house.

AAAAAAAAAAA

Dawn waves goodbye to Janice and her mom as they leave from dropping her off. Turning and heading into the house she turns to go in the living room and sees Faith laying there with her leg propped up on a pillow and reading one of Tara's text books. Dropping her book bag on the floor she rush's over to the woman and kneels beside her. "What happened?"

"Willow happened." Tara states coming from the kitchen with a couple pills and a bottle of water. Handing them to Faith, Tara sits down gingerly beside the brunette on the couch and gently runs her fingers through her hair. "She attacked Faith. I had to stitch her leg up. It should heal in a couple days."

Dawn pales looking down at the bandages on the slayer's thigh back up at Tara. "Why is she doing this?"

Looking with concern at Dawn, Tara reaches out with her other hand and lays it gently on the young girls shoulder. "I really don't know why, Dawnie. I can just guess."

"Why do you think she's doing all this?" Dawn whispers watching as Tara's eyes sadden.

"I think it all boils down to the power. She wants to control everything and everyone. She thinks of us more as possessions than thinking, breathing humans with our own choices to make." Tara sighs looking down. "I don't think we'll be able to reach her, Dawnie. I think she may have already crossed the line. When she physically hurt Faith…." Closing her eyes in pain Tara shakes her head and a tear slips down her cheek as she feels Faith wrap her arm around her waist, pulling her tight against her side.

"You need to make sure to be careful, Little D." Faith huskily states looking seriously at the teen. "I don't think she'll actually physically harm the rest of you. I think because of our past history she doesn't care if she hurts me."

Buffy smiles sadly at her family as she comes down the stairs. "Unfortunately Faith is probably right. There never was any love lost between the two even when Faith first came here, before everything else happened."

"That's because she was jealous of your relationship with Faith." Tara states quietly.

"What?" Buffy asks sitting down at the other end of the couch, gently placing a hand on Faith, rubbing her thumb across the ball of her foot.

"From what little she told me before about what happened, I got the feeling that Willow knew how you felt for Faith and was jealous." Making eye contact with Buffy, Tara continues. "She felt like Faith was stealing you away from her and she didn't like it. I think she might have went out of her way to cause any kind of antagonism between you two that she could. It's probably nothing that you would even be able to recall now, but I think this has been brewing inside Willow for a long time." Looking down at Faith, smiling softly. "It could have just been a simple word or two placed in a conversation that would make you take something out of context. It wouldn't take much."

Buffy and Faith look at each other, wondering if Tara could be right. "She's been pretty dead on with everything else, she could be right about this." Buffy states to Faith.

Faith nods her head looking back up at Tara. "I guess it would have been easy to drive a wedge between us back then. Okay guys, enough sad and depressing talk. What's for dinner?"

Laughing at Faith, Tara reaches down and kisses her quickly on the mouth. "I haven't laid anything out for dinner and unless everyone wants soup, I guess we better order out."

"I ate at Janice's when we were doing our Science homework." Dawn states smiling slightly. "I think I'll head upstairs and finish the project I was working on." Dawn grabbed her book bag and quickly headed upstairs.

"She really is okay with this, isn't she?" Buffy whispers watching her sister run up the stairs.

"Yes, she is." Tara smiles softly at Buffy. "I think she's pretty much like everyone else. She just wants everyone to be happy. Even if we are sick puppies." Tara smirks at Buffy.

"I'm going to pay for that comment, aren't I?" Buffy groans out before smiling.

"For a very, very long time." Tara grins. "What do you guys want to eat?"

"Well, we had planned on ordering a pizza, I guess we still could?" Buffy suggests.

Looking at Faith and seeing her nod Tara stands up. "Any requests for toppings?"

"Meat!" Faith yells out, making Tara and Buffy laugh.

"One Carnivore's Delight for Faith." Tara jokes looking at Buffy.

"I'll take anything, I'm easy." Buffy smiles up at Tara.

Tara walks quickly over to Buffy. "I know you're easy." She growls lowly, before kissing her passionately. Finally pulling back after a few minutes she grins at the slayer's dazed expression.

"Hey! What about me?" Faith whines slightly.

"Are you trying to say you're easy, too Faith?" Tara smirks easing up beside the slayer and kneeling on the carpet beside the couch looking at Faith.

"If I get a kiss like that, hell yeah." Faith smirks back at Tara and then moans as her lips are captured in a pressing firm kiss. As she moans, Tara's tongue slips in battling gently with hers before being chased back into her own mouth by Faith taking control of the kiss. Faith growls deeply as Tara captures and sucks down firmly on her tongue and flicking it lightly at the same time.

Pulling out of the kiss Tara grins at Faith. "Let me get the pizzas ordered, then I'll want to double check your leg and put some ointment on it before seeing if it needs to be wrapped back up."

Both slayer's watch the witch head into the kitchen before looking back at each other and smiling. "That woman can damn well suck the paint off the side of the house!" Faith growls lowly.

Eyes unfocusing Buffy nods her head "Oh, yeah." Shifting slightly at the arousal coursing through her at the thought of how well Tara could suck, Buffy groans deeply.

"Damn, B! That good?" Faith questions watching Buffy and smelling the arousal coming off the other slayer, feeling her own arousal kicking up another notch in response.

Leaning in to whisper quietly Buffy growls out "She made me come like four times last night, Faith."

Eyes darkening in response, Faith groans quietly. "I'm about to pop here, with the damn teasing and everything B."

It hits Buffy that Faith probably is, since she hadn't been with anyone since coming here, and that was one thing Faith wasn't shy about before. "I'm sorry, Faith. I wasn't even thinking." Shaking her head at her own selfishness, Buffy frowns slightly.

"Yo! B. It ain't your fault. Just all the teasing before was fine, but here lately with the kissing and touching it's just kind of keeping me on edge. Now…" Faith trails off closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. "Now, thinking about it, it kind of pushed me almost over the edge, you know?"

"I'm still sorry" Buffy whispers looking to see if Tara had come back in from the kitchen yet. "Let me see what's taking Tara so long." Buffy gets up and runs her hand through Faith's hair before heading into the kitchen.

"'kay." Faith states smiling slightly shifting to get more comfortable. Picking at the bandages Faith pulls the tape back to ease the bandage off and look at the stitch job the witch had done. 'Damn, girl can make nice tight small stitches.' Faith thinks checking them out, lightly running her finger over the wound.

AAAAAAAAAA

"Hey, are you okay?" Buffy asks coming into the kitchen seeing Tara standing at the kitchen sink staring out the window.

"Hmm?" Tara turns her head slightly to look at Buffy.

Walking up behind the witch, Buffy wraps her arms around her waist and rests her chin on her shoulder. "Are you okay?"

Placing her hands on top Buffy's arms Tara looks out at the darkening sky. "She could have easily killed her, Buffy. I can't let Willow hurt any of you."

"Tara, we can't let you take her out. There has to be some other way to get control of her." Buffy whispers quietly.

"It doesn't look good, Buffy." Tara clenches her jaw. "I won't let her hurt you guys. If something like this happens again…" Shaking her head Tara closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.

"Let's not think about this right now." Buffy whispers quietly before placing a kiss on the witches neck. "Right now we need to think about a certain horny slayer that's lying on the couch in the living room." Buffy smirks at Tara. "I think you might want to drag her ass up the stairs when I go on patrol and help her out."

Tara snorts back a laugh. "What were you two discussing or doing while I was in here ordering the pizzas?"

"Oh, we were just talking somewhat." Buffy smiles as Tara turns in her arms and looks at her with a raised eyebrow. "Okay, we were discussing you. Your kissing abilities, among other things."

"Really? And what other things were you discussing while I was making sure you two are going to be fed?" Tara smirks slightly.

Blushing a deep red Buffy looks down and mumbles extremely lowly. "Sucking ability and making me come four times last night."

Not quite catching what Buffy said Tara leans in and asks "What was that?"

"Tara!" Buffy whines, making the witch laugh.

"Okay, I won't make you say it." Tara grins before gently brushing her lips across Buffy's. Pulling back and smiling into the slayer's eyes, Tara reaches up behind her neck and pulls her in to a deep kiss, flicking her tongue repeatedly against Buffy's before swirling it around gently. Finally pulling back, panting quietly, Tara rests her forehead against Buffy's. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Buffy whispers hugging Tara tightly to her. "Better check on Faith's leg before the pizza gets here."

Chuckling Tara pulls away gently before tapping her finger on the slayer's nose. "I'll check on Faith's leg, among other things tonight."

"Hmmm. Makes me wish I didn't have to go on patrol. I would kind of like to watch that. I learn well from watching." Buffy huskily states, making Tara laugh.

"You are hopeless. And you'll definitely get your chance." Tara smiles.

"My chance at watching or doing?" Buffy questions smirking slightly.

Walking towards the living room Tara smirks back over her shoulder "Both." Making Buffy laugh quietly.

AAAAAAAAAAAA

"Faith!" Tara exclaims coming into the living room, seeing the slayer poking at her wound. "Stop that. What do I have to do sit on you to make you behave?"

Looking up at Tara practically yelling her name Faith leers at the rest of the comment. "Oh, yeah you can sit on me to make me behave, come on over here."

Rolling her eyes at the slayer, Tara sets the supplies on the coffee table and sitting down by Faith's knees, Tara reaches out to look at the wound. "Your slayer healing has kicked in." Tara sees that the skin looks like it's already knitting together nicely. "Some redness around the stitches, but that's to be expected. Hopefully between your slayer healing and the small stitches, you shouldn't scar." Reaching over for the healing salve, Tara gently works it into the cut.

"Tara." Faith huskily calls her name.

Looking up at Faith, Tara stops the light motion. "What is it?"

Reaching up with her hand, Faith pulls the witch down on top of her and kisses her deeply. Pulling back slightly Faith places small kisses up Tara's jaw line to her ear. "I want you." Faith hoarsely whispers before kissing her way down her neck, nibbling at her pulse point before sucking gently.

Groaning at the sensations Faith is causing, Tara reaches up grasping the dark slayer's hand, squeezing tightly. "Faith, I don't think…oh Goddess…the couch is a good place for this." Tara pants out roughly.

Scraping her teeth over the witch's neck, Faith sucks down hard on the soft skin, moaning loudly. "Don't care." Faith mumbles as she pulls away from the skin that had garnered her attention. Looking at the mark on the witch's neck she smirks and says "Ooops."

Sitting back up slowly, Tara looks at Faith with passion filled eyes. "How come I got this feeling I'm going to have a mark on my neck for a week?"

Looking at Tara with raised eyebrows Faith shrugs. "I don't know what gives you that idea."

"Maybe because you placed a mark the size of a half dollar on her neck?" Buffy growls out having watched the two women kissing. "I'm really hating having to go out on patrol now!" Buffy mumbles before heading back to the kitchen.

Taking a deep breath, getting control of her hormones, Tara looks at Faith, reaching out and running her hand through the dark locks. "How's your leg feeling?"

Closing her eyes at the pleasure from the soft touch, Faith slowly opens them back up smiling "It's feeling good, slayer healing should heal it great by tomorrow morning, we should be able to take the stitches then."

"And having a good dinner tonight, will help also." Tara states before smirking slightly. "Still don't mean you aren't on bed rest all day tomorrow."

Frowning in displeasure Faith snarls slightly. "Come on. I'll be almost good as new in the morning, I can still go with you to your classes, I mean all I'll be doing is sitting there, that's as good as bed rest."

Standing up and gathering the items Tara raises an eyebrow. "It's not open for discussion, Faith." Quickly taking the items to put them up.

"Pain in my ass." Faith grumbles loudly.

"I heard that." Tara states heading up the stairs.

"You were meant too." Faith states sarcastically. Looking up to see that Tara was up the stairs, Faith swings her legs around and slowly stands, grinning. Heading towards the kitchen, limping slightly.

"Get your ass back on the couch, Faith before Tara comes down here and flings you on it." Buffy quietly states standing in the kitchen doorway.

"Damn it, B! You know as well as I do that I'll be pretty much healed by the morning. So what's the big?" Faith growls out.

"The big is that you were hurt badly. You were hurt by my best friend since sophomore year of high school. You were hurt by Tara's ex-lover. And it scared the shit out of Tara. That's the big. Now get your ass on the couch and don't give Tara a hard time or I'll fucking kick your ass, understand?" Buffy states lowly and quickly.

By the time Buffy finishes Faith's shoulders are slumped and her eyes are filled with sadness. "I'm sorry B. I didn't realize…" Shaking her head Faith turns around and limps back to the couch, laying down. Tucking her arm under her head she looks up at the ceiling with a tear working its way down her face.

"Faith…I didn't mean to…" Buffy closes her eyes trying to think of what to say. Walking over to the slayer and kneeling down beside her. "I didn't mean to upset you, Faith."

Faith looks over to Buffy as more tears start rolling down her cheeks. "It's hard isn't it?" At Buffy's questioning look Faith takes a deep breath. "Caring for people, letting people care for you…Loving someone." Faith roughly wipes the tears from her face.

Buffy nods her head swallowing. "Yes, Faith. It's hard, it's painful, sometimes it feels like it's going to rip the heart out of your chest. But it can also be the most wonderful thing in the world. The feeling of being loved, loving back. Having someone care for you. Someone that when you think about them you smile. Someone that with a single touch can make you want them so much…" Buffy trails off for a second. "I never really had that before Faith, not the good parts. Now I have that with two wonderful women and I'll be damned if I'm going to give it up."

Just then the doorbell rings announcing the pizza delivery. Looking at Faith, Buffy leans down and whispers quietly "You are loved, and even though you can't say it, you love us. We both know it Faith and we'll be here for you no matter what." Standing up and answering the door, Buffy pays for the pizzas before taking them to the kitchen.

Tara comes down the stairs with slightly reddened eyes heading straight for the kitchen. Grabbing plates down then turning to the refrigerator to grab drinks out for the three women. As she turns from the refrigerator she feels strong arms wrap around her. "I'm sorry" she whispers into Buffy's neck as she starts shaking.

"Shh. It's okay Tara. The adrenalin of what happened finally ran out and your natural reaction came to the forefront. You did great…You're doing great." Buffy whispers hugging her tightly. "You took care of Faith. And you kept yourself from being hurt. That's what's important."

"I love you both so much. I'm afraid that something bad is going to happen to you and it scares me so much." Tara cries softly into Buffy's neck. Taking a couple deep breaths, getting control of herself. Pulling back she grins sheepishly at Buffy. "Just hormones going crazy. Will Faith be okay in the morning?"

Buffy smiles softly. "Pretty much. The stitches will need to be pulled out. She might be a little sore and stiff but getting up and walking around will help that. The blood loss will probably take another day to get her back to normal, but it isn't anything that should keep her from her normal activities."

"I kind of went a little overboard, huh?" Tara smirks softly.

"Yeah, but I understand why." Buffy smiles softly. "We better get the food in there before she starts yelling and screaming that we're starving her to death, since we won't let her hobble around."

"I'll take a plate piled with her pizza and a soda." Tara smiles. "Maybe she'll accept the peace offering."

Grabbing up the plate she fixed for the slayer, Tara quickly heads to the living room.

Watching Tara take the plate to Faith, Buffy smiles. "I don't know what we ever did to deserve you, but I'll pray to whatever God, Goddess, Deity there is and thank them for the rest of my life." Buffy whispers to herself. Shaking her head out of her contemplation, she grabs a plate and piles it high with pizza for herself before grabbing one for Tara and putting a couple pieces on it for her.

Carrying the plate and soda into the living room, Tara sets them down on the coffee table before turning to look at Faith. Seeing sad brown eyes looking back at her, Tara feels her heart going out to the slayer. Sitting down on the edge of the couch Tara places her hand above Faith's heart. "I'm sorry for being a pain in the ass earlier, Faith." Tara quietly states looking at her hand. "If you feel up to it tomorrow, I would love for you to take me to school."

Raising her hand up to cover Tara's, Faith smiles softly. "Look at me, Tara." As Tara raises her eyes looking back into those beautiful brown eyes, she feels the tears start to fall again. Reaching up and gently wiping the tears from the witch's face, Faith smiles. "It's okay. I'm here and I'm alive. I didn't mean to scare you."

Moving her hand up and around the slayer's shoulder, Tara pulls her up gently to hug her tightly against her. "It wasn't your fault, Faith. It just hit me hard how easily we could have lost you. I'm sorry I went kind of off the deep end tonight." Pulling back Tara smirks at Faith. "Anything I can do to make it up to you?"

Faith grins hugely. "I'm sure I can think of something." She states making Tara laugh.

"Are we okay?" Tara asks seriously.

"Yeah, we're fine Blondie. I'll be more careful from now on, that way I don't bring out your butch side." Looking the blonde up and down Faith smirks slightly. "Even though it does do something for me."

"Maybe if you're lucky you'll get to see it again." Tara smiles. Standing up, she swings Faith's legs down on the floor and hands her, her plate of pizza before sitting down beside her watching her eat.

"Is it safe for me to come in here now?" Buffy asks from the hallway holding both plates in her hands and smiling.

"Get in here, Buffy." Tara smiles at the slayer. "And I'm assuming one of those plates are for me?" At Buffy's nod Tara says "Thank you."

Coming over to the couch Buffy hands the plate to Tara and sets her plate down on the table before going back to the kitchen and grabbing a soda for Tara and herself.

Coming back to the living room she sets the sodas down before sitting down and grabbing a piece of pizza to eat. Looking over, she sees that Faith has already ate all the pizza that was on her plate and Tara was slowly eating a piece of hers shaking her head in disbelief at the dark slayer.

"Go ahead and get more, Faith. I know you want to." Tara smiles softly as Faith grins standing up grabbing her plate and limping into the kitchen. Turning to Buffy, Tara leans over and places a kiss on her cheek. "You have my permission to take me down a notch if I get all Alpha Female again, okay?"

Blushing slightly Buffy smiles. "Actually, I think I'm kind of like Faith. I like it when you go all butch."

Rolling her eyes at Buffy, Tara reaches for her soda. "Next thing I know you two are going to insist on getting me a harness and vibrator."

Faith smirks as she walks back in. "There's an adult store over on Elm and Chestnut, Buffy. They should have those items."

Plopping back against the couch Tara closes her eyes and blushes. "Figures." She states resignedly, making both slayers laugh.

"My birthdays coming up in a few months…." Faith hints as she sits down and eats another piece of pizza.

Buffy looks at Faith and grins. "Do they have different kinds? I never have checked them out before."

"Goddess help me." Tara murmurs before standing up and grabbing her plate to take to the kitchen.

"I'm sure Tara will come around, if you really want it Faith." Buffy smiles softly. "She'd do anything for us if we asked."

Nodding her head Faith grins slightly. "Yeah, I know it. That's why I'm not going to ask." She whispers quietly.

Frowning in confusion at Faith, Buffy shakes her head. "It's why…What are you saying?"

Looking towards the kitchen to make sure Tara wasn't coming back Faith turns to look at Buffy. "I'm not gonna ask because if I ask, she'll do it. I…I don't want her to do it because of me, does that make any sense?" Faith asks Buffy.

Staring at Faith for a few long seconds Buffy finally realizes what she's saying. "You're afraid if you ask her, the only reason she would be doing it is because you asked her, not because she wanted to."

"Right." Faith smiles happy that Buffy understood what she was trying to say. "Are you working tomorrow?"

Buffy nods her head. "Yeah, I work 11-7 tomorrow." Buffy puts down her empty soda can, debating on whether or not to get another piece of pizza. "What is Tara up to now?"

Faith smiles "Can I go and see?"

Buffy grins "She let you go to the kitchen before, I don't see why you can't again."

Smiling in thanks at Buffy, Faith hops up and quickly limps into the kitchen. Seeing Tara scooping out batter onto cookie sheets Faith chuckles.

Turning around when she hears the chuckle Tara smiles at Faith. "What are you laughing at?" Turning back around to finish putting the peanut butter cookie mix on the sheet, Tara quickly slides it into the oven. Turning around and running hot water into the bowl, she turns it off and looks back at Faith, drying her hands on a tea towel.

"I'm laughing at the fact that Buffy and I were worried about what you were doing and you're in here making…" Sniffing the air deeply, Faith smiles. "Peanut butter cookies."

"Well, it seems that certain people in this household have a sweet tooth. And since I am such a nice, kind, caring girlfriend, I need to fix stuff to take care of this problem." Tara smiles at Faith. Slowly walking over to her, she looks her up and down. "I guess I could have at least got you something to wear."

Looking down at the mutilated jeans Faith grins. "Might as well finish cutting that leg off and then the other one and make a pair of shorts out of 'em." Faith suggests.

"I can do that." Tara whispers before reaching up and running a hand down her cheek. "I love you. And I really, really want to make love to you." Leaning in and placing a gentle kiss on Faith's lips, Tara pulls back. "May I make love to you tonight, Faith?"

Faith swallows hard and closes her eyes. Breathing heavily Faith realizes that Tara was being literal. That she wants to make love to her. Not have sex and not fuck her, but make love to her. Opening her eyes looking into the blue depths so filled with caring and love Faith can't help but nod her head. "Please." She quietly states.

"Thank you." Tara whispers. Reaching in and kissing Faith lightly again on the lips, Tara smiles as the timer goes off on the stove. "Cookie time."

Pulling the two sheets of cookies out of the oven and laying them out to cool, Tara turns and smiles as she sees Buffy standing behind Faith with her arms wrapped around the dark slayer.

"I need to head out for patrol. Will you two be okay?" Buffy asks quietly.

"Yeah, we'll be okay B." Faith grins and winks at Tara. "I'm gonna see if I can get Blondie over there to scream my name tonight."

Grinning wickedly at Tara, Buffy whispers in Faith's ear. "Make sure you make her come at least three times for me, okay? Last night was a little one sided if you know what I mean."

Chuckling as Tara scowls at the two of them, Faith leans back to whisper in Buffy's ear. "You mean to tell me, that she made you blast off four times to her once?" At Buffy's nod Faith smirks slightly before whispering again "Did you at least get a taste?"

"No. She actually borrowed a thigh." Buffy whispers as she blushes at the thought of going down on the blonde witch. "I still haven't…"

"You will. And a lot of it." Faith growls before nibbling on her earlobe. "Just do what feels natural, trust me."

"Enough with the whispering you two." Tara states walking towards the two women. Leaning in and giving Buffy a quick kiss, she pulls back smiling softly. "Be sure to come back in one piece. Let us know when you get home, or just come on in." Tara wiggles her eyebrows slightly.

Buffy's eyes open wide before she blinks a couple times and whispers. "Okay."

Chuckling at Buffy, Faith turns and gives her a quick passionate kiss. "Be careful out there B."

"I love you." Tara whispers as Buffy turns to get ready for patrol.

"I love you too." Buffy turns back and kisses the witch before turning to Faith and kissing her. "I love you both."

"Do I even want to know what you two were whispering about?" Tara asks as she goes to pull the cookies off the cookie sheets.

Coming up behind the blonde, Faith sneaks a hand around her and grabs a cookie. "I'll give you three guesses." Faith smirks as she munches.

"Well, I figure it's obvious it was about me." Tara looks at the dark slayer with a raised eyebrow.

"You wouldn't be wrong." Faith smiles watching Tara's eyes narrow slightly. Reaching for another cookie Faith leans a hip against the counter a short distance from the blonde.

"Hey, do I smell cookies?" Dawn squeals when she sees the peanut butter cookies. "I'm getting my fair share of these, especially since someone" She looks pointedly at Faith "Got the majority of the brownies." Dawn reaches and grabs four cookies. "I finished my project and I'm going to watch that show on Discovery."

As quickly as Dawn popped in she was out of the kitchen again, making both women chuckle.

"How come I always feel like it's been a drive by teen-ing with Squirt?" Faith states grinning.

"That pretty much sums it up. She's a good kid." Tara smiles softly before getting down a container to put the cooled cookies into leaving some on a plate wrapping it with saran wrap for Buffy when she gets home from slaying.

Watching the blonde stretch up for the saran wrap, Faith watches the witch's shirt tighten across her breasts. Eye darkening she watches till Tara's done wrapping the plate before reaching for the her. Shifting her body so her back is against the counter and her legs spread, she pulls Tara in, wrapping her arms loosely around the witch's waist.

Looking at Faith in surprise at the maneuver that only took seconds, Tara relaxes into the slayer's body. Raising a hand to run her fingers through the slayers hair and the other hand grasping her hip, Tara raises an eyebrow. "You've got me, now what are you going to do with me?" Tara asks huskily.

"Please, before you do anything with her can I get something to drink?" Dawn pleads from the doorway to the kitchen.

Growling under her breath at the interruption Faith looks at Dawn and can't help but laugh. "Go ahead and get something to drink, I'm going to take this to somewhere a little less busy." Faith grasps Tara's hand and pulls her up the stairs and to the bedroom.

"Faith!" Tara exclaims before laughing as she hears Dawn mention something about horny slayers.

Pulling Tara into the bedroom, Faith quickly shuts the door behind her, and pulls the witch into a tight embrace, going in with open mouth and tongue searching and finding a willing mate. Tongues wrapping around each other rolling in continuous motion Faith groans in pleasure as Tara wedges her thigh between her legs and presses against her center. Grasping the blonde's hips and pulling her in tighter against her, Faith works her hips in a circular motion against her thigh. Capturing the blonde's tongue, Faith sucks gently at first and then more forcefully as she feels the pleasure building inside her.

Pulling back, panting heavily Tara looks at Faith with passion filled eyes. "This time isn't going to be fast and rough, Faith. I want you to know that. There's time for that later." Tara leans in and kisses Faith gently but firmly, starting a softer exploration.

Groaning out in frustration Faith finally breaks away. "But, Tara…."

Quickly pressing her lips against Faith's to quiet her Tara pulls back "My way first, then your way, okay?" Seeing Faith battling with herself Tara pleads silently with her and the moment she saw Faith acquiesce she softly smiles. "Thank you."

Faith looks at the blonde with a slightly worried look on her face. "I ain't used to soft and slow, Blondie." Faith whispers quietly.

"You're not used to being made love to, Faith." Tara whispers back keeping eye contact with the Dark Slayer. "But you will be." Leaning in and running light gentle kisses along the slayer's cheek and jaw line to her ear before whispering "I'm going to undress you slowly and as each piece of skin is revealed I'm going to make love to it."

Moaning at the heat running through her body just from the Witch's words Faith looks at her. "You're gonna kill me. I know you are. But what a way to go." Faith growls lowly and then smiles at the blonde. "I'm yours to do what you want, but remember payback is a bitch."

"Goddess, I hope so." Tara murmurs before pulling away and gently tugging the slayer's hand to have her go to the bed. "Lay down." Watching with dark blue eyes at Faith lays down in the middle of the bed Tara smiles softly. "I'm going to ask something of you, and I know it won't be easy."

Faith growls out "What?"

"Can you try and keep your hands to yourself until I tell you to touch me?" Tara whispers watching the slayer's face. Watching the slayer's refusal on her face, Tara sighs quietly. "I'm going to let you touch me, hell I'll let you do anything you want, but just let me have this? Please?"

"You're asking a lot here Blondie." Faith growls lowly. "And this ain't gonna be like last night, I'm giving you a heads up right here and now."

Blushing slightly Tara looks down. "Is that what you two were talking about earlier?"

"Damn straight. B wanted to make sure you got yours tonight. I'm gonna make sure that happens." Faith looks the blonde up and down before smiling with a calculating look on her face. "How about we make a sort of compromise?"

Tara looks at her trying to figure out what the slayer is up to. "What is it?"

Chuckling at the blonde Faith shakes her head. "Nothin' bad. How about we both go ahead and get naked, and you can do your thing, but maybe not as slowly as you planned?" Faith raises an eyebrow, having a feeling the blonde was going to draw it out for hours until Faith was screaming in frustration. "And if you do that, I'll try real hard to keep my hands to myself while you do it?"

"I don't get a promise?" Tara asks, knowing already that Faith was giving her a lot more than she had honestly expected from the woman.

Shaking her head Faith states "I can't promise. I'll try real hard, but that's a promise I can't make to you."

Nodding her head in acceptance Tara smiles. "Deal."

Faith grins hugely and rolls off the bed to quickly start stripping, as she hears Tara laugh quietly in front of her she looks up with a bra in one hand and the fingers of her other hand at the button of her pants. "What?"

"Easy, there wild child." Tara murmurs as she puts her hand over the slayers. "Let me help you out of the pants, I don't want you to accidentally mess up my handiwork, okay?"

Faith, realizing the blonde has a point, nods her head. "Okay. But I get to help you out of your clothes." As Tara chuckles Faith smiles.

Easing the button out of the hole and unzipping Faith's pants, Tara kneels in front of Faith and eases them over the slayer's hips and inhales realizing Faith has gone commando. Stopping for a moment Tara looks at the completely bald mound of the slayer. Inhaling deeply, Tara moans at the dark spicy smell coming from Faith. "Goddess you aren't making this easy." Tara murmurs before easing the pants slowly over the wound and down the slayer's legs, smiling as Faith steps out of the pants. Looking back over at the wound one more time to make sure it looks okay, Tara slowly stands up looking Faith in the eye before leaning in and pressing a firm kiss on her mouth.

"My turn." Faith states huskily. Pulling the top off the witch and seeing the white lace bra underneath Faith groans at seeing the nipples insistently poking at the fabric. Brushing her thumbs over the nubs Faith growls wanting another taste.

Moaning as the slayer plays with her nipples Tara steps back. "You're supposed to be undressing me, not playing." Tara states quietly.

"Bitch." Faith mumbles good-naturedly.

"I can be." Tara acknowledges before reaching behind her back and unhooking her bra to quickly pull it off. Seeing Faith is leaning down towards her breasts, she puts a hand up and says "Nope."

Snarling her lip slightly Faith flops back on the bed. Easing to the middle of the bed, Faith turns on her side to watch the witch undress.

Easing off her skirt, Tara grabs the clothes on the floor and quickly drops them in the hamper before hooking her thumbs in the side of her panties and easing them down her legs. Looking over at Faith she smiles. Faith's eyes are glued on her breasts watching them sway gently. "Enjoying the view?" Tara asks huskily as she stands up and quickly discarding the panties walks towards the bed.

"You have no idea." Faith whispers in a low rough voice. "You are absolutely gorgeous. And after we go shopping for you, I'm going to make damn sure that belly button of yours gets pierced. Your stomach is just crying out for attention to be drawn to it."

Tara blushes and places a hand to her stomach. "I've never liked my stomach, the poochiness of it. I thought it was ugly." Tara explains.

"Oh, no. God no, Tara." Looking up with pleading in her eyes "Can I touch it, please?"

Seeing Tara nod her head in acceptance, realizing she isn't going to be able to keep Faith from touching her, she slowly climbs into the bed to lie beside the slayer. Reaching down with her hand to run it lightly over Tara's lower abdomen, Faith smiles. "It's soft and warm and beautiful Tara. It calls out to be kissed. I want to rub my face over the softness, lick and nibble it." Faith lightly arches her hand so her fingernails gently scrape across Tara's stomach, making her arch up into the slayer's touch. "So responsive. I wish I knew the words to explain what you make me feel inside, Tara. Not just your body, but you." Looking up with a serious look in her eyes Faith whispers. "I care for you so much. You and Buffy both." Feeling a tear ease from her eye and run down her cheek she looks down. "I wish I could say it…"

"It's okay Faith" Tara whispers quietly. "One day you will. For now, Buffy and I know you love us, and that's the most important thing." Leaning in Tara gently kisses the tear away. Starting softly and slowly, Tara starts placing kisses over the Slayer's forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, cheekbones, jaw line and finally, reaching the slayer's bow shaped lips Tara gently eases her tongue inside to gently caress the inside of the dark slayer's mouth, gently making love to her with her tongue before gradually pulling away to Faith's displeased groan. "Got more to kiss, Faith." Tara mumbles as she eases Faith onto her back and starts to slowly kiss down the slayer's neck, lightly nibbling on the cord at the side until reaching the pulse point that was beating so quickly with the slayer's blood pumping through.

Licking repeatedly over the area before gently sucking on it Tara listens as Faith moans, making Tara heady with want. Lightly kissing across her strong shoulder, Tara works back around to the collar bone, licking and sucking. Working her way down, Tara runs one hand up to lightly circle the slayer's breast with her fingertips, while supporting herself with her other arm. Easing herself further down, Tara slowly kisses around the other breast, licking with a firm tongue on the sensitive skin underneath where it meets the rib cage smiling as she feels Faith buck up slightly.

Clenching her hands into the bed sheets so she doesn't grab the witch and make her take her nipple into her mouth, Faith groans at the teasing, at the love coming from Tara. Unbelieving of anything feeling this good, but God needing so much more.

Licking up and around the nipple, not touching it with either her hand or her lips Tara smiles, pleased Faith is trying to keep her end of the bargain. Glancing down at the dark rosy nipple that she's been teasing around she sees Faith's hands clenched in the sheets so tightly that her knuckles are white. Feeling the tenseness of Faith's body Tara shakes her head, realizing she isn't going to be able to take her time as much as she wants to. Changing her mind about what she was going to do to the slayer, this first time, Tara quickly sucks the nipple in her mouth while pinching gently on the other nipple at the same time, making Faith arch up into her. Sucking firmly and flicking it with the tip of her tongue Tara feels it harden even more. Pulling slightly away, Tara lifts her body, making sure to not hit the slayer's sore thigh. Easing the slayer's legs apart so she's laying between them before leaning down and lavishing attention on the other nipple, while pinching the one she was previously sucking on more firmly.

Groaning in approval at the firmer treatment the witch is giving her, Faith pushes her hips up, pressing against Tara.

Deciding she will come back to the slayer's luscious breasts later, Tara quickly works her way down kissing the slayer's ribs and stomach, running her finger over the scar that Buffy had given her. Kissing the scar then lightly running her tongue over it, Tara thanks the Goddess that she had spared Faith's life that day. Shifting herself down further, Tara eases Faith's legs up and over her shoulder to make her more comfortable before inhaling deeply, watching as the juices flow from the slayer, "Goddess, so good, Faith." Tara moans quietly. Tara greedily gathers more of the slayer's essence before diving back in, flicking over the swollen muscle aching to be touched.

Faith bucks up hard, groaning loudly and rolling her hips around. "Please, Tara." Faith groans out.

Glancing up she sees the glazed look in the slayer's eyes and the need coming from her before quickly easing in the slayer, keeping eye contact and watching as Faith closes her eyes and pushes her hips against her fingers.Making Faith buck hard over and over against her as she climaxes. Curling her fingers in the slayer, Tara searches out the sweet spot, locating it, she rubs firmly but gently over it continuously until she feels Faith's whole body shaking in response and growls out as Faith grasps her head pulling her tighter against her as she explodes drenching the witch and the covers.

Keeping up the motion with her fingers, Tara eases back from the slayer. Repeatedly placing gentle kisses on the slayer's mound, feeling as the slayer's muscles finally relax, letting her gently remove her fingers. Pulling her hand up to her face Tara smiles at the fluid running down before enjoying the slayer's essence to the fullest. Finally Tara rests her head on the slayer's stomach, realizing her own body is rocking slightly, looking for release she chuckles quietly.

Slowly getting her bearings after the most intense orgasm of her life, Faith looks down at the chuckling witch. Feeling the bed rock slightly it takes Faith a moment to realize that it's the Witch rocking, her body craving it's own release.

"You want some help with that?" Faith calls out quietly in a sex roughened voice.

Looking up at the slayer in confusion Tara frowns slightly. "Help with what?" When she sees the lascivious smile cross the slayer's face, her confusion clears up and she blushes slightly.

"Come up here." Faith whispers. As Tara eases up her body, gently dragging her breasts up Faith's stomach and then pressing them down hard against Faith's breasts Tara moans and closes her eyes, rubbing her breasts firmly over the slayer's Tara leans her head down against Faith's shoulder taking a deep breath.

Enjoying the pleasure of their breasts rubbing together Faith pushes up slightly to cause more pressure. Reaching up with one hand, Faith reaches around the witch and slowly runs it down her back, following the line of her spine, before reaching the top of the witch's ass. Teasingly running her fingers along the crevice between the witch's firm butt cheeks, Faith finally cups one cheek tightly, squeezing it firmly. Keeping the one hand on the witch's ass, Faith takes her other hand and reaches for Tara's head, gently urging her from her shoulder to look up. Looking into the dark, dark blue eyes of the witch, Faith groans before pulling her down for an intense, dominant kiss. Flicking her tongue repeatedly against Tara's before invading her mouth fully wrapping her tongue around Tara's repeatedly before pulling back slightly, panting heavily.

"You've got two choices and you better make your decision quick." Faith hoarsely states.

"What choices." Tara asks between pants rocking her body against Faith's, enjoying the pleasure of her breasts rubbing against Faith's firm, full breasts.

"You keep climbing until you're above me and I make you come until you can't support yourself, or you can roll over onto your back and I'll spend the next couple hours making you squirm all over this bed in pleasure. Either way you're mine." Faith states intensely.

Tara feels her body already starting to shake in response to the slayer. Knowing she probably won't be able to support herself much longer, she kisses Faith firmly before easing off the slayer to lay on her side looking at Faith. "You irritate your leg, I'll kick your ass, understood?" Tara seriously states looking in Faith's eyes.

"Yes, ma'am." Faith states before grinning hugely. "You are so mine." Faith growls out before shifting her body and gently pushing Tara onto her back before kissing her over and over again, both of them moaning in pleasure. Easing down Tara's neck, Faith sucks where the skin of her neck meets her shoulder, sucking down hard leaving a mark.

Tara groans loudly as Faith sucks on her neck. Running her hands through Faith's hair repeatedly, Tara cries out as Faith eases down and takes a nipple quickly in her hot wet mouth, flicking her strong tongue over the nipple repeatedly while pinching the other nipple firmly.

"Mmmm. Taste so good." Faith mumbles before switching to suck on the other nipple. Gently trapping the hardened nub between her teeth and pulling up gently.

"FAITH!" Tara cries out in pleasure as Faith's teeth bring that pleasure bordering on pain that can be so sweet.

Smiling to herself at the witch's response, Faith release's the nipple before laving it gently with her tongue. Easing her body further down, Faith rubs her face against Tara's lower abdomen growling out at the smell of the witch's arousal, easing a hand down to the witch's opening, making Tara buck up into the touch. Kissing and nipping at the witch's soft stomach Faith huskily states "Want to spend hours here kissing your stomach. I will one day, but not today." Shifting her body further down Faith looks upon the witch's most intimate place.

Inhaling deeply Faith moans silently. Looking at the neatly trimmed mound Faith's mouth waters at the thought of soon tasting the witch. Seeing the swollen sex, begging for attention. Blowing a warm breath of air across the muscle Faith smiles as she sees the slight spasm in response.

"Faith" Tara begs quietly looking down at Faith, rocking her hips against the fingertips just teasing her opening and the mouth blowing warm air across her.

Looking up and seeing the desperate need in the witch's eyes, Faith whispers "Okay." Before looking back down and running the flat of her tongue over the swollen muscle as she eases a finger gently in the witch's opening.

"Yes!" Tara hisses as Faith starts a slow easy pace while running her tongue repeatedly over her. Rocking her body against the slayer, Tara groans as her body quickly tightens, looking for release.

Faith, feeling Tara's body tightening under her and the muscle she's licking gently over and over again flex against her tongue realizes it won't be long before the witch reaches orgasm. Quickly adding a finger Faith moans as she feels the witch clenching down repeatedly. Picking up the pace of her fingers, Faith sucks the swollen muscle in her mouth gently. Keeping up a gentle sucking motion, Faith flicks the tip of her tongue against the muscle. As the muscle starts to spasm continually, Faith hums into the witch and flicks her finger against the witch's g-spot making her scream out as she comes.

Rocking hard into Faiths tender ministrations, Tara screams out Faith's name loudly as she feels her body release. ClenchingTara push's hard against Faith before easing her hips back down against the bed, her legs shaking from her release and panting heavily.

Faith releases Tara from her mouth and starts placing gentle kisses around the witch's mound before gently easing out of her as Tara unclenches her muscles. Feeling Tara grasp gently at her head, Faith smiles before swirling her tongue around her opening, tickling the sensitive nerve endings there. As Tara starts rotating her hips, Faith slips her tongue deep inside the witch flicking with her strong slayer muscles.

"Oh, Goddess!" Tara cries out quietly, rocking against the slayer.

Feeling the witch building up again and her clenching down on her tongue, Faith curls it up, hitting the pleasure spot within her. Flicking over the spot repeatedly until Tara screams out her name, flooding her mouth with her juices.

Collapsing from the strength of the orgasm, Tara grasps Faith's head once more before dragging her hand up her own body and placing it upon her pounding heart. Breathing hard, trying to catch her breath, she feels Faith easing up her body placing kisses here and there on her way up, licking up a pocket of salty goodness on her way to Tara's breasts, flicking a strong tongue over one nipple then the other, alternating back and forth continuously until Tara grasps her head and pulls it to a stop between her two breasts, making Faith chuckle quietly.

Still breathing heavy and not able to say anything just yet, Tara runs her hands over Faith's shoulders and upper back. Smiling as she feels Faith place tiny kisses between her breasts as she runs her hands up and down her sides.

Pulling back slightly Faith places a hand on either side of the witch's outer breasts and gently pushes them together. Smiling Faith quickly sucks both nipples in her mouth at the same time, making Tara groan appreciatively.

Hearing a knock on the bedroom door, Faith pulls her mouth away from the witches nipples. "Who's there?" Faith calls out huskily and laughs when she hears Buffy's quiet answer, that only slayer hearing picked up. "Come on in."

"What did she say?" Tara croaks out. Smiling as Buffy eases open the door and slips in the room, turning to lock the door behind her.

Turning back after locking the door, Buffy grins at the sight before her. Stripping the towel that she had wrapped around her after her shower, she throws it in the hamper before walking towards the bed. "I said a horny slayer." Looking from Faith laying on top of Tara and the fact that she had obviously been enjoying the witch's assets, Buffy's eyes darken slightly, seeing Faith's darkness contrasting so beautifully against Tara's lightness. "You two are beautiful." She whispers before kneeling on the floor by the bed, crossing her arms on top of the mattress and resting her chin on them.

Inhaling deeply of the arousal coming from both women, Buffy smiles. "Don't stop on my account." She huskily states and chuckles as Faith squeezes Tara's breasts back together and sucks both nipples into her mouth at once.

"Faith!" Tara exclaims quietly before lightly smacking her on the back of the head. Looking over at Buffy, Tara asks "How was patrol tonight?" Arching her back up into Faith's mouth, Tara smacks her a little harder on the back of the head. "Stop that! We could at least talk to Buffy first."

"You talk, I'll play." Faith mumbles around the breasts in her mouth.

"Do you want me to cut you off?" Tara threatens and giggles as Faith quickly stops and pulls up slightly.

"So, how was patrol tonight?" Faith asks with a fake smile on her face, making both women laugh at her.

"It was fine. Dusted four vamps and some demon munching on this poor dog, that decided I might be a better dinner." Buffy snorts in disgust at that thought.

Faith smiles "So not to bad of a night." Quickly turning and sucking Tara's nipples back into her mouth. Being smacked on the back of the head again Faith pulls away and loudly asks "What? I talked, we discussed, we're done! It's play time."

"Enough play for the moment, let me check your leg." Tara states while rolling her eyes.

Growling lightly Faith squeezes the breasts in her hands quickly before rolling off the witch and onto her back looking up at the ceiling.

Shaking her head at the impossible slayer, Tara looks at Buffy and sees her smirking. "Would you mind turning on the overhead light?" Tara quietly asks Buffy.

Nodding her head, Buffy quickly hops up and turns on the light coming back and sitting on the edge of the bed looking with Tara at the healing wound. "It's looking good." Buffy comments quietly. "You'll be able to take the stitches out in the morning and probably by tomorrow night it'll be like new."

"Goody!" Faith states sarcastically. "Now can we please continue with play time? I wasn't done, you know."

"Did I interrupt before you guys actually did anything?" Buffy questions looking from one woman to the next. "I think she's grumpier now than she was earlier."

"Personally I think she's perpetually horny." Tara smirks. Running her eyes over Buffy's body she sees a bruise on her ribs. "What happened?" She questions quickly leaning in lightly running her fingers over the bruise.

"I'm okay. One of the vamps got in a lucky shot, is all." Buffy dismisses Tara's worry. "So what are we going to do with horny slayer?"

"You two do realize I'm laying right here and can hear everythin' you two are saying, right?" Faith growls out quietly.

Tara winks at Buffy and gets up and walks around the bed to the other side, easing her body close to Faith. "Buffy, want to get the overhead light? I appreciate it baby." Tara smiles as Buffy quickly turns the light off and climbs into the bed on the other side of Faith, mirroring Tara's position.

Leaning down and nibbling down the side of Faith's neck to her shoulder and running her hand up to cup the breast nearest her, Tara looks over to see Buffy watching what she's doing before repeating the caresses down Faith's other side. Looking up into Faith's eyes Tara smiles before leaning in and kissing her deeply. Pulling back she shifts her body down slightly to kiss around Faith's breast watching Buffy lean in and kiss Faith more roughly and passionately.

Groaning at the dual pleasure of having both women working over her body, Faith moans in approval as both women start suckling at her breasts. Reaching a hand up to gently cup behind both heads she smiles. "Oh, yeah." She groans out feeling one breast being sucked on strongly while the other one was being nibbled on gently and tentatively. Lifting her hips and rotating them around, Faith feels her arousal hitting a higher level.

Glancing over at Buffy as she sucks strongly at Faith's breast she catches her eye and pulls her hand up from where it was resting on Faith's lower abdomen and wiggling it at Buffy. Buffy frowns slightly in response before it hits her and she raises her hand to Tara, letting Tara intertwine their fingers together before easing both their hands down Faith's body.

Extending her index finger straight out, Buffy does the same, pressing the two fingers together. Tara eases their hands between Faith's thighs to run the extended fingers gently through the slayer's wetness. Watching the emotions crossing Buffy's face, the surprise and then the desire Tara smiles softly before releasing the nipple she had been sucking on. Easing her body slightly further down she kisses across the ribs and abdomen of Faith slowly while continuing the stroking between the slayer's lower lips before gently easing past the lips to flick Buffy's fingertip over Faith's swollen muscle, making her hips buck up against the light, teasing flick.

Leaning across Faith's stomach Tara gently kisses Buffy on the lips before pressing in harder, flicking her tongue out to tangle with Buffy's repeatedly. Continuing the stroking up and down Faith's lips with an occasional flick. Slowly easing down to Faith's opening Tara pulls out of the kiss with Buffy, panting slightly before leaning back in to suck her bottom lip in her mouth and nibble on it lightly.

"Man, that's hot!" Faith mumbles out having been watching Buffy and Tara kiss as she was trying to buck her hips up to get more pressure against her.

Looking up at Faith, Tara winks before whispering "You ain't seen nothing yet!" Making Faith strangle out a laugh. Slowly easing both hers and Buffy's index fingers into Faith, Tara looks back at Buffy smirking at her incredulous expression. Feeling Faith clench and unclench repeatedly against their fingers. Easing the two fingers back out Tara winks at Buffy as she extends out her middle finger, Buffy quickly following before slowly easing the four fingers into Faith.

"Yes!" Faith hisses out at the additional fingers and consequential fullness she's feeling, rocking her hips against the invading fingers, trying to urge them to a fast rhythm.

Sliding further down Faith's body Tara whispers to Buffy "Do you want to taste?" Hearing Faith groan and push up even harder at her suggestion she smirks slightly before shaking her head at the impatient slayer.

"Oh, God, yes." Buffy murmurs quietly back.

Easing their fingers out of Faith, to her vocal disapproval Tara states "Behave Faith. You'll get what you want and even more if you can be patient."

"Shit!" Faith grumbles before shutting up.

Looking back at Buffy, Tara smiles encouragingly. "Do you want to explore on your own, or do you want some visual aids?" Faith groans loudly at that comment.

Buffy's eyes open wide and she blushes deeply. "I-I don't know." Looking up and making eye contact with Faith she simply questions "Faith?"

Looking at the question in her eyes Faith shakes her head "It's up to you, B. Whatever you're comfortable with doing." Faith states hoarsely.

Watching Buffy with soft gentle eyes Tara states quietly "Whatever you're comfortable with. You don't have to do anything tonight, if you don't want to."

"What do you suggest?" Buffy looks to Tara for her honest opinion.

"Well, most people don't get someone to show them the lay of the land as it were. Part of the fun is figuring things out, you might do something different than I do because of that. Where as if I show you, you will subconsciously pick up and do things the same way." Tara shrugs her shoulders lightly.

"That is so not a bad thing, Blondie." Faith growls out. "But whatever someone decides, will you please hurry up? I'm ready to pop, here."

"Really?" Tara asks grinning wickedly as she runs her hand down between Faiths thighs, bringing Faith quickly to the edge before stopping her motion with her fingers buried in the slayer.

Grunting out loudly Faith opens her eyes seeing the glint in Tara's eyes and the surprise in Buffy's. "Tara!" Growling out in displeasure. Then as Tara slams her fingers in and out quickly, pressing hard against her muscle, making Faith come fast and hard screaming out her name, Tara smirks.

Easing her fingers out of the dazed slayer's body and unconsciously bringing them up to suck on them one after the other Tara turns to Buffy. "Go ahead and explore to your hearts content Buffy."

"Damn, Tara." Buffy mutters in shock and arousal. "You definitely have butch in you."

Tara tilts her head considering the comment. "You could be right. Do you want to explore? Or…" Looking over the slayer's body, Tara's eyes darken considerably. "Do you want to meet Butch Tara?" She huskily asks.

Faith raises her hand and mutters out "Go for Butch tonight, B."

Tara grins crawling over Faith and smiles as Faith shifts over to the edge of the bed, giving the two women more room. "Guess you're mine now, Buffy." Tara growls out lowly closing in pressing her lips forcefully against Buffy's before exploring the inside of Buffy's mouth. Pushing gently against Buffy until she is lying down on her back, Tara contemplates a second and whispers "Turn over."

Buffy blinks a moment at the order and turns over, turning her head with a questioning look toward Faith. Seeing Faith's shrug and inquisitive look as she watches Tara, Buffy knows she isn't going to get any help from there.

Easing behind Buffy and straddling one of her legs, Tara reaches down to her hips, lifting gently to get Buffy to pull herself up onto her knees. Reaching behind and down, Tara runs her fingers through Buffy's wetness, groaning at the juices dripping from her lover before moaning at the heat coming off her.

Reaching around with her left hand under the slayers waist and running her fingers through the slayer's wetness, she uses her left hand to gently rub the slayer's muscle while with the right hand she quickly presses two fingers inside the slayer, moaning in pleasure at the slickness, Tara quickly adds a third finger and starts pounding into the slayer, at the same time pressing in hard with her other hand.

Not noticing that Faith has shifted her body behind her, she jumps and groans loudly as Faith quickly inserts two strong fingers inside her, starting a steady rhythm while kissing and licking her neck. Realizing that she was letting off the pressure on her own ministrations when Buffy whimpers, Tara quickly picks them up again putting a little more force behind her thrusts. Feeling Buffy clenching around her fingers, Tara feels her own body clenching in response as they both come at the same time.

Partially collapsing over top of Buffy, Tara kisses her back before easing her fingers out. After a few moments, Tara rolls off Buffy. Flopping onto her back beside Buffy, in the middle of the bed Tara closes her eyes, realizing the sweat is almost dripping from her. "I think I need a shower." She mumbles out to no one in particular.

Faith chuckles as she curls up on the other side of Tara and watches as Buffy finally collapses on her stomach with her face buried in her pillow. "You don't need a shower, you smell of good clean sweat and hot sex. In other words you smell absolutely wonderful and if we could bottle it we would make a fortune."

"Faith, you are one sick puppy." Buffy mumbles from her pillow. A few seconds later you can hear her giggling quietly. "I still haven't gotten a damn taste." Buffy bitches quietly.

"Not my fault." Tara mumbles sleepily. "Buffy, sweetie?"

"Yes." Buffy answers quietly, looking over at the blonde that was half asleep and sees Faith looking up smirking slightly, but with heavy eyes.

"Can you turn the lamp off?" Tara whispers and as Buffy turns the light off she smiles in thanks. "I love you two."

"Love you to." Buffy smiles over at Faith. "Love you Faith." Shifting her body down to burrow her face against the witch's breast, Buffy reaches over to touch Faith as she snuggles up against the other side of Tara.

Throwing a leg over the witch and burying her face in her hair, Faith smiles reaching up to run her hand over Buffy's arm. Slowly the three women fall asleep.
