CHAPTER 35
"Mr. G, are you going to come with Dawn and meet us at the Bronze?" Kelly asks as she walks down the stairs looking at the watcher sitting in her chair.
"No, I'm a bit old for all that rigormaroll. You got me hooked on this damn book, and I want to see how it ends. Plus, I promised Anya I would mind the store this week so she and Xander can go shopping for their house." He states grinning, before looking up and swallowing at the tall woman. Blushing, he quickly looks back at his book, exclaiming. "Dear Lord!"
"Yo, stretch. You embarrassed the G-man." Faith grins, looking at the blushing watcher. Glancing back over at the tall witch she smirks. "If those pants ride any lower, you might as well not be wearin' 'em. By the way, like the purple bra."
Buffy comes in from the kitchen, when she hears Giles, then grins looking at her lover wearing extremely low riding black hip huggers and a dark purple lace bra with a white see thru shirt over it, with only two buttons buttoned in the middle. "Why bother with the cover shirt?" Buffy growls, running her hand just over the top of the jeans waist band. Looking up, she raises an eyebrow and whispers. "Did you end up shaving completely?" At Kelly's nod and grin, Buffy groans. "I had to say it, didn't I?"
"You wanted skin showing. And it's just a little too cool to wear shorts, so went with what I had." Kelly smirks as she smells the arousal coming from her lover.
Sam's sitting on the couch trying not to laugh. "Be careful with her during the summertime. She doesn't know the meaning of the word modest."
"Thanks for the warning." Buffy growls. "I think I fucked up." Turning and looking at Faith, she narrows her eyes. "Keep your hands to yourself, understood?"
Faith frowns. "I thought all four of us were patrolling together."
"Nope, Sam and Buffy are heading out inone direction, while you and I go in the other. We're meeting up at the Bronze afterwards." Kelly winks at Faith. "I think Buffy's wanting to hear all the gossip about me from Sam."
"Like you wouldn't tell her if she asked." Sam shakes her head as she stands up grabbing her jacket and making sure she has asword and stakes on hand.
"Yes, she does tell me when I ask." Buffy looks with a raised eyebrow at Kelly. "However, I sometimes have the feeling that she downplays her parts in things."
Chuckling Sam makes eye contact with Kelly. "You might have something there."
Rolling her eyes at the two women, Kelly looks at Faith. "Let's get the show on the road." Grabbing her short leather jacket, double checking her weapons, with her back turned to the other women, Kelly smirks as she feels a small strong hand run up her back.
"You better not be planning on leaving without giving me a kiss." Buffy huskily whispers.
"Wouldn't dream of it. But I kind of thought we would walk a few blocks together before we split?" Kelly questions quietly, groaning as the nails digs in her back lightly.
"Okay, I'll believe you." Buffy smiles, before reaching up for her jacket and heading over to her weapons chest.
Faith walks towards Kelly to grab her jacket hanging beside the tall witch, and stops, paling at the scars on the woman's back showing through the shirt.
Shrugging her jacket on, Kelly turns and sees Faith looking pale. "You okay?"
Nodding her head and looking searchingly in the woman's eyes, it hits home that Kelly really did have a shit life. "Yeah, wasn't really prepared for the…" Trailing off, Faith kind of waves her hand towards Kelly.
"What?" Confused for a moment, Kelly finally realizes what Faith's talking about. "Not pretty, huh?" Shrugging her shoulders, Kelly opens the door and heads out.
Sam follows Kelly, smirking at Faith. Stopping and whispering. "She used to have a real problem about the scars, but as you can tell they don't bother her anymore. I still don't know how she got them."
Looking at the woman, stunned. Faith shakes her head and watches as Buffy starts walking towards the door. "B?"
Stopping and looking at Faith, Buffy raises an eyebrow. "Yeah?"
"You know how Kelly got her scars?" At Buffy's nod, Faith looks out onto the front walk seeing Sam and Kelly talking as they wait for the two slayers. "If Sam and her were a couple, why don't Sam know how she got them?"
Buffy frowns. "Kelly told you?" At Faith's nod, Buffy smiles softly. "Well, that makes three people, besides Kelly that know how she came by the scars. Sorry, make that four, can't forget the bastard that gave them to her." Buffy angrily growls the last sentence. "She never told anyone how she came by them until last week, Faith." Buffy squeezes the rogue slayer's arm slightly. "You, me and Tara are the only ones who know."
Faith stands there with a confused look on her face, wondering why the woman had told her how she got them. Shaking her head and pulling her jacket on, she follows the rest of the group out of the house, gently shutting the door behind her.
Grinning, Kelly gives Buffy a quick kiss. "You need us, call." Kelly states, tapping her head. "I kind of want to get an idea how much of a distance thing we got going on, anyhow."
"Okay, babe." Buffy murmurs watching Kelly and Faith head off down the street. Shaking her head she smiles at the smirk on Sam's face. "What are you smirking at?"
"So, you're wanting to pick my brain about Kelly?" Sam grins as they head in the opposite direction.
"Nah, not really. Kelly wanted some one on one time with Faith more than anything." Buffy grins as she twirls a stake.
Coughing slightly, Sam turns a shocked face to the slayer. "You're trusting them two together when Kelly wants one on one time? What exactly are they going to be doing?"
Chuckling at Sam's reaction, Buffy shakes her head. "They won't be doing that. Faith has some problems, and Kelly kind of figures she needs someone to talk to that might understand where she's coming from. I'm hoping Kelly can get through to Faith and maybe get her to stick around."
"If anyone can do it, Kelly can." Sam nods her head smiling slightly. "So, how have you been doing? Haven't seen you for a few years." Sam smirks.
"Yeah, and that time, you brought my ex with you. This time you show up and I'm with your ex. Weird, huh?" Buffy laughs.
Laughing, Sam nods. "Weird isn't the word for it. Your sister seems to think I'm crazy for dropping Kelly and marrying Riley."
"Any regrets?" Buffy asks seriously.
"No. I love Kelly, but I fell in love with Riley. But things are going south with that relationship." Shrugging her shoulders, she grins at Buffy. "At least I don't have to worry about Kelly saying 'I told you so.'"
"Nope, she isn't the type to do that." Buffy shakes her head smiling softly. "She really is a wonderful person. Actually, there is something I would like to ask you."
Sam looks questioningly at Buffy. "Go ahead."
"She mentioned something about guarding an actress…" Buffy trails off when she sees Sam get a pissed off look on her face. "Okay, what's that look for?" Buffy questions, frowning.
"That fucking bitch." Sam growls. "It was a good thing I was out of country when that shit went down or I would have kicked her ass."
"Whoa!" Buffy exclaims loudly. "What the hell? The way Kelly talked, was that the woman decided to go back to her husband, and they more or less parted amicably."
"Yeah, right." Sam snorts derisively. "That's Kelly for you. She protected the woman for three months, and was finally able to take out the demons that were after her. The whole time, Miss High and Mighty, was hitting on Kelly left and right. You know and understand how Kelly works, right?" Seeing Buffy look at her with wide eyes and nod her head, Sam continues. "She doesn't just sleep around. She has to love someone. Needless to say, she cared deeper than she ever let on about the bitch from hell. They were together for six months after the job was done. Kelly made dinner reservations at some swanky restaurant for their six month anniversary, and the bitch didn't show up. Needless to say, Kelly went to her house and found her and her ex-husband fucking like bunnies." Snarling silently, Sam looks at Buffy. "I wouldn't even know all this, if it wasn't for the fact that the stupid bitch called trying to find Kelly and more or less explained to me what happened. I do have to give the woman credit, she admitted what she did. She was actually worried about Kelly. Kelly went off on a secret ops mission right after finding them. I didn't get to talk to her till about three months later. Kelly just blew it off and probably gave me the exact same story she gave you. I wouldn't know what really happened if the bitch hadn't told me."
"Why wouldn't she tell anyone what really happened?" Buffy questions.
"Kelly really isn't the type to talk bad about someone. Her personal life, she pretty much keeps personal. Now, military wise, if someone fucks up that's under her, watch out. She'll be on your ass in a second. If she has proof, she'll bring you up on charges in a heartbeat. She doesn't play games. She actually can't, people can get hurt or even killed if she doesn't do her job." Sam starts laughing.
Buffy frowns, trying to figure out what was so funny in what Sam had said to make her laugh. "Why are you laughing?"
"Sorry. I just remembered the time Kelly and this Supply Sergeant got in it. He didn't know who the hell she was, she likes to dress in normal fatigues, without her insignia. So you can understand why he thought she was a regular grunt. Anyway, he tried to pawn off some second rate gear on us when we were heading out on a mission. Us coming out alive was the difference in the gear, if she hadn't called him on it, we would probably all be dead. She personally checks and double checks all the information on any op mission that she goes out on. It was funny as hell, when he bitched her out and told her to get someone with authority if she didn't like it. She came back thirty minutes later in full dress uniform and had him on the ground giving her a hundred. After he finished with that she told him to get her the fucking gear that was on the requisition form, if he valued his life." Chuckling Sam shakes her head. "It almost killed the guy to do a hundred push-ups. Needless to say, she made sure he was put somewhere to get his ass back in shape."
"You know, it's really hard for me to picture Kelly being that person." Buffy shakes her head smiling softly, thinking about her fun driven girlfriend. "I mean I've seen glimpses of it, when we're fighting demons, but…" Buffy trails off.
"Yeah, I can see it would be hard. Her personal life and her military life, she usually keeps separate. She isn't one to take stuff home with her most of the time." Sam smiles. "Don't take this the wrong way, but you're one hell of a lucky lady, Buffy. Even without the extra thing going on between you two, she loves you and she doesn't do that easily. But once you're in her heart, you stay there."
Buffy smiles and nods her head, as they walk into the cemetery. "She's wonderful. She's one of those type people that would give you the shirt off her back, if you need it. I don't know what I did to deserve her, but I plan on loving her for the rest of my life."
Sam nods. "Good. She deserves it. And from the sounds of it, you do too. I'm glad you don't have a problem with our past relationship."
"Can't." Buffy states simply. "I'm glad you had each other. You helped bring her out from her problems, taught her to love herself. I owe you."
Sam stops and stares in shock at the slayer. "She told you about whatever it was that happened to her, didn't she?" At Buffy's nod, Sam closes her eyes. "I really, really tried to get her to talk about it. She was so shut off for so long. I think it took me something like three months just to get her to go out on a date with me." Snickering slightly, Sam looks sideways at Buffy. "I had to get her drunk and beat her at poker, to get her to go out on a date with me. You know, I don't think she's had a drink since then."
Buffy chuckles quietly, stopping and quickly reaching down staking the vampire as it rises from the grave. Heading back to the gates of the cemetery, Buffy asks. "So you bet her a date?"
"Yep. I had to cheat to win, even with her drunk." Sam chortles.
Buffy laughs at the picture and shakes her head. "Is there anything she can't do?"
Sam nods her head. "Yeah, she can't sing for shit. And if someone hurts someone she loves, she's very, very unforgiving."
"Yeah, she mentioned both those things. She also mentioned something about a girl in her platoon that was being bothered by a new Marine." Buffy states quietly.
"Oh, yeah. She put that bastard in the hospital. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy." Sam smirks.
"He really had to have surgery to, umm…" Buffy trails off blushing.
Sam snorts out a laugh. "To remove his crushed testicals that were buried up in his body? Yep, that was Kelly. He should be happy that he lived. She came close to killing him."
Buffy nods her head.
"She was raped, wasn't she?" Sam asks quietly. "Raped and abused physically."
Buffy looks at Sam before turning away and continuing on patrol, with Sam walking beside her. "Why are you even asking?" Buffy asks quietly. "You know the answer to your question, don't you?"
"Yes. Everything that I've seen, the way she reacts to certain things, like that Marine. It all adds up." Sam looks up at the evening sky. "I hope the bastard burns in hell."
"You and me both. You and me both, Sam." Buffy whispers quietly.
AAAAAAAAA
Kelly sends her senses out, pinpointing where demons were, and heads in that general direction. Looking over at Faith, she sees the slayer has a deep frown on her face. "What's wrong, Faith?"
Shaking her head and looking inquisitively at the tall woman, Faith tucks her hands in her pockets. "Why do you care about me?" Faith asks bluntly.
"Why wouldn't I?" Kelly returns quietly, enjoying the night.
"You don't know me. You don't know what I've done." Faith growls lowly.
Looking at the slayer out of the corner of her eye, Kelly shakes her head. "Is that what you think?" At the slayer's nod. Kelly snorts derisively. "You're Faith Lehane, 22 years old. You were abused when you were a child. Had a drug-addicted mother. You were called when you were barely 15 years old. Your watcher was the closest thing you had to a real mother. She was tortured and dismembered in front of your eyes. You accidentally killed Deputy Mayor Finch, you did kill another guy, can't remember his name for some reason. But needless to say, he was a bad guy, that was helping Mayor Wilkins ascend. You poisoned Angel, were stabbed by Buffy, was in a coma for roughly 8 months. Switched bodies with Buffy, screwed Riley while in Buffy's body. That must have been a major disappointment. Then when your bodies got switched back, you ran away. Ended up in LA where Wolfram and Hart tried to recruit you to kill Angel. You wanted to die, but Angel wanted to save you. Watcher's Council sent another hit team after you, you escaped and turned yourself in. Spent roughly two years in a maximum security prison that you could have escaped from at any time. Broke out when you were told Angelus was loose and you were needed to help him get his soul back. You almost died when you took some kind of drug that would disable him when he drank from you. Willow restored the soul and you came back to good ol' Sunnydale to help fight the First. Without you, they would have lost and the Earth would be overrun by demons." Kelly stops for a few minutes looking out at the night. "Afterwards, the cops were getting to close, so you hightailed it out of here. You've been traveling to different cities over the country, killing demons and saving people." Turning and looking in the slayer's shocked eyes, Kelly states quietly. "And you figured you'd come back here to die. The one place you consider home." Looking away and walking towards where she feels a vampire, Kelly stops on the street corner waiting and when he turns it she hits him with an uppercut, pitching his body ten feet up in the air and thirty feet away.
Walking over to him, she looks down upon him like he's an insect. Shaking her head, she stakes him and continues walking with a quiet Faith walking beside her.
"Did I miss anything important?" Kelly quietly asks.
Still stunned to silence, Faith looks at the woman. Opening her mouth, she closes it again and looks down at the ground. "Who the fuck are you?" Faith questions with a slight tremor in her voice.
"I'd like to be your friend." Kelly stops and looks at Faith. "If you'd let me. But, I'm Kelly Maclay, 35 year old Brigadier General in the US Marine Corps. I've been raped and abused. I've killed people, and I've saved people. I'm a fucking bitch if you piss me off and I can be the best friend you ever had." Shrugging her shoulders, Kelly looks out at the night. Seeing the coffee shop across the street, Kelly gently places a hand on the slayer's shoulder. "Want a cup of coffee?"
Faith looks in disbelief at Kelly, then takes a deep breath and nods her head.
Walking into the shop Kelly looks up and smiles. "I'd like a large Shot in the Dark with two extra shots."
The guy taking the order looks at her like she's crazy. "You know what you're asking for?"
"Yeah, your strongest cup of coffee with three shots of espresso in it." Kelly smirks.
Faith has to laugh at Buffy's crazy girlfriend. "Just make it, man. Actually, make it two. Leave room for cream in mine."
"Do you want room for cream in yours?" The guy asks Kelly.
"Hell no. That's a waste of good coffee." Kelly narrows her eyes looking at Faith. "You want anything else?"
Faith looks around the shop and up at the board. "Yeah, a piece of cheesecake sounds good."
"Just one?" Kelly grins slightly. "Or is it a whole cheesecake that you want?"
"Smart ass." Faith mumbles. "Just a piece of cheesecake, thanks."
The guy rings up the coffees and cheesecake. Kelly hands over the money for it then walks down to the pickup counter, grabbing the drinks after they finish fixing them and the piece of cheesecake, taking them to where Faith is sitting at a booth.
Sitting across from the slayer, Kelly turns sideways. Stretching her legs out on the seat, pulling the lid off her coffee, taking a sip, groaning appreciatively.
"I have got to buy an espresso machine for the house." Kelly mutters quietly. "We're going shopping tomorrow, I'll pick one up."
Faith chuckles. "You're fuckin' crazy."
Looking up at Faith, Kelly raises an eyebrow. "You're just figuring that out?" She questions taking another sip of coffee.
Faith shakes her head, watching the woman intently. "How did you know about me?" She questions seriously.
Looking at the slayer, Kelly smiles softly. "Different things. I see the signs most of the time of another person that was abused. Buffy explained some things to me, then I pulled all the records on you I could find." Shrugging her shoulder Kelly looks Faith in the eye. "I like to know what I'm dealing with."
Nodding her head and looking down, playing with her fork, Faith asks quietly. "How did you know I came back here to die?"
Closing her eyes and tapping her fingers on her leg, Kelly breathes deeply. "I saw it in your eyes, Faith."
Accepting the answer, hearing the truth in the other woman's voice, Faith looks up watching Kelly.
"Know that I don't want that. Buffy definitely doesn't want that to happen." Watching Faith for a few moments, Kelly tilts her head. "I'd like for you to stay with us, here in Sunnydale. If you don't mind. Or I can get you your own place if you'd like. No more running around the country. I want you to make a home here. Of course, we're going to be looking for a bigger place to live in. I want somewhere with a huge training room, plus my own area where Buffy won't get pissed at me if I want to walk around naked." Kelly rolls her eyes. "Like it's that big of a fucking deal. The scars aren't exactly a turn-on." Shaking her head, Kelly sips her coffee.
Faith slowly eats her cheesecake watching the woman with a considering look. Looking back down, she quietly starts speaking. "My earliest memory, I remember my mom being passed out drunk on the sofa. I guess I was around five or six at the time. When I got older, she graduated to drugs. She sold her body to pay for the drugs until the men started noticing me. She realized she could get more, selling me. It lasted for roughly a year before I ran away." Shaking her head, tearing the napkin apart Faith takes a deep breath. "My life on the street was just as bad. Selling my body for food, somewhere to sleep. Finally I was found by the Watcher's Council. And you pretty much know the rest." Faith finally looks up, making eye contact with Kelly. Seeing the acceptance and compassion in the woman's eyes, Faith shakes her head and smiles.
"I'm not going to judge you, Faith." Kelly places her hand lightly over Faiths. "I just want you to know that you are cared for, and you do have a family. Buffy considers you a sister. I would be privileged if you consider me for a friend." Kelly smirks. "And given time, maybe something between you and Sam can develop."
"Kelly, I'm still an escaped murderer." Faith murmurs quietly.
Kelly raises her eyebrow. "Things change. Seems like you pretty much had a shit life until now. Maybe it's time your luck kicked in, hmm?" Kelly growls as her phone rings. Pulling it up, her eyes widen when she sees who's calling. "Excuse me, Faith. I have to take this." Quickly hopping up and heading out the door, Kelly answers the phone.
"Good evening, sir. Or should I say good morning, in your case…You did?…" Kelly smiles a relieved smile. "Thank you sir, I owe you a debt of gratitude….It'll be here tomorrow morning?…Sir, how did you…Special Courier?…Thank you, sir…And not to be disrespectful, but I could kiss you." Laughing heartily at his reply Kelly shakes her head. "Well, yes, sir. She would be more my style, but you have a thing about me and your wife…Yes, sir. Thank you again. If you need anything, please let me know…Merry Christmas, sir." Kelly smiles looking up at the night sky. "Thank you, too." Turning around, she heads back into the coffee shop.
Grinning from ear to ear, Kelly plops back down on her seat, facing Faith this time. Grabbing her drink, she sucks half of it down.
"Good news, I assume?" Faith questions, looking at the witch.
"Oh, yes. Very good news." Kelly smirks knowingly at the slayer. "Very, very good news." Looking down and seeing the piece of cheesecake gone, she looks at the slayer's coffee. "Do you want another piece of cheesecake? Or maybe something else?"
"Nah, I'm good." Faith shakes her head at the question. Wondering what's got the woman in such a good mood, she watches her quietly, waiting to see if she'll tell her. When no further information is forthcoming, Faith finishes her coffee.
"You are going shopping with us tomorrow, right? I still have something else I want to get you." Kelly grins as she finishes her coffee. Seeing Faith nod, her heart lightens a little. Grabbing the empty containers, she stands up throwing them away. Turning around and seeing Faith standing behind her she asks. "Ready to head on out?"
"Yeah, we probably should continue on patrol." Faith quietly comments.
"Yes, we should." Kelly walks outside sending her senses out and smiles softly.
Babe, where are you at?
We're at the campus, it's been kind of slow. My senses are like a hundred times stronger than they were. I can feel demons probably a mile or more away. Buffy answers back
Can you tell where I am? Kelly sends, grinning
Hmmm. Huh, you're downtown. At a coffee shop? Just what you need, coffee at this time of the night! Buffy sends back laughing.
Gotta be geared up for the dancing. There's no other demons up and about around here. Want to head towards the Bronze? Kelly asks smiling as she see's Faith rolling her eyes at her. "Hey, we're getting ready to head to the Bronze, if Buffy's done. So stop with the eye rolling."
Sounds good to me. We already staked the one vampire I felt over here. Meet you there in a few. Buffy smiles.
Love you. Kelly closes her eyes picturing her placing a gentle kiss on the blonde's lips
Wow! How did you do that? Oh, I love you too. Buffy sends back giggling.
Just pictured it. Meet you in a few. Be careful. Kelly sends a smack on the butt this time and laughs
Shit! Watch what you're sending my way! Payback is a bitch. I'll see you in a little while. You be careful. Buffy imagines tugging on one of Kelly's nipple rings.
Good job! We better stop or I'll be doing really naughty things to you next. Bye, babe. Kelly shakes her head and looks at Faith
"Come on, Faith. Let's go dance the night away." Kelly grins as she throws her arm around the slayers shoulders. "Do you like Sam?" Kelly asks out of the blue.
"What?" Faith answers in a confused voice.
"Sorry, my mind sometimes takes side trips. I was wondering if you like Sam. Kind of in the let's get down and dirty way." Kelly asks grinning as they walk towards the Bronze.
"Well, yeah. I guess so." Faith states looking down at the ground.
"Faith it isn't that hard. There's a few choices. You like her as in you want to get to know her better in a date and spend life with her kind of way. You want to just be fuck buddies. One night stand. Maybe just be friends. Or you don't like her. That pretty much covers most of the bases." Kelly states shaking her head. As she sees the look on Faith's face as she's about ready to answer, Kelly rolls her eyes. "Don't say it. Just answer the question."
Faith growls, looking at the woman. "Well, it doesn't matter. I like her. I don't know her that well, and there's the fact that she's married. But…" Faith trails off, thinking about the other Marine. "I guess, given the chance I could like her in a more than friends way."
Nodding, Kelly smiles. "Her and Riley are going to get a divorce. I can guarantee it. She's a good, caring woman. I love her, and will do anything for her. So be sure to not hurt her, okay?" Kelly looks seriously at the slayer.
"Kelly, I ain't got no life. I can't have a normal life." Faith growls frowning.
"Yeah, well. Things change, Faith." Kelly grins as they head into the Bronze. Paying the cover charge she looks over and grins as she sees Buffy watching her. "Do you want something to drink?" Kelly asks, not taking her eyes off her lover.
"Nah, I'll get it. Want me to get you something?" Faith chuckles seeing what has Kelly's attention.
"Yeah, a Diet Coke would be great." Kelly grabs some bills out, without looking and hands them to Faith. "Here, I appreciate it."
Faith shakes her head watching as Kelly walks towards Buffy. Looking down at her hand and the cash Kelly placed in it, she rolls her eyes. "Woman is fuckin' nuts." She states quietly to herself shoving three of the $50 bills in her pocket and heading towards the bar with the other one.
Kelly laughs as Buffy jumps up on her, wrapping her arms and legs around her, placing kisses all over her face. "Miss me?" Kelly asks hugging her tight.
"Yes." Buffy growls before kissing her deeply.
"Hmmm." Kelly moans into the kiss, wrapping her hand around the back of the slayer's head. Finally pulling back to breathe, she smiles. "If I'm only away from you for a few hours and get this kind of a reception, what'll happen if we have to be away from each other for days?"
Frowning, Buffy narrows her eyes looking at her lover. "Not going to happen."
Looking seriously at her lover, Kelly shakes her head. "It could, Buffy. I'm still under the employ of the US Government. If something happens, they can call me in."
Shaking her head, Buffy buries her face in her neck. "Don't want to talk about it right now. Want to dance and make out with you instead."
"Okay." Kelly smirks knowingly. Feeling Buffy release her legs from around her waist, she sets her down gently. Taking her jacket off and throwing it on the back of the couch before sitting down. Looking over at Sam who actually seems to be watching something behind them, Kelly turns her head to try and see what she's looking at. Seeing Faith heading towards them with the drinks, she turns back watching Sam.
Buffy plops down on Kelly's lap and wraps an arm around her neck. Chuckling quietly as Kelly places a hand in the middle of her back, rubbing lightly and the other hand on her thigh, unconsciously tracing circles.
"So, anything interesting happen tonight?" Kelly asks looking from Sam to Buffy.
Sam looks at Buffy with a raised eyebrow. "No, not really. Talked a bit and Buffy staked a few vamps. That pretty much covers it."
Buffy smirks at Sam. "How about you two, anything interesting?" Buffy asks seriously as Faith comes and sits down beside them.
"A vamp, coffee and I had a slice of cheesecake. We talked some." Faith answers quietly.
Buffy looks questioningly at Kelly.
She opened up a bit. The paperwork will be here tomorrow morning. Everything's taken care of. Hopefully that will help some, when she realizes she has a life to live for now. Kelly sends to Buffy mentally.
Nodding her head, Buffy smiles before kissing Kelly on the temple. "Thank you."
Kelly smiles as a slow song comes over the speakers. "Want to dance?" She looks at Buffy and runs her hand down her cheek.
"Oh, yeah." Buffy murmurs before standing up and walks out to the dance floor. Wrapping her arms around her lover's neck and resting her head against her chest, she smiles.
Kelly grins, wrapping her arms around Buffy's waist and gently dancing around the dance floor. Resting her cheek on the top of her lover's head, Kelly whispers. "I love you."
Buffy slides her arms down and around Kelly's waist, under her shirt, running her hands over her lovers back. "I love you, too."
"What do you have planned for tomorrow?" Buffy whispers as they dance, tightening her arms around Kelly.
"Hmm, probably getting either yelled at, or kissed by a certain dark haired slayer. I have a feeling it can go either way." Kelly chuckles lightly.
Buffy pulls back, smiling at her lover. "You could be right. She can be so happy that she kisses you, or be pissed because you didn't tell her what you were doing and try and kick your ass."
Leaning down, brushing her lips gently over Buffy's, Kelly pulls her back in against her. "I figured I'd buy her a vehicle. She looks the Harley type. Then maybe we'd go to the mall. I need to get your sister another gift card. All she got from me was the laptop for Christmas, so I figured I'd buy her what she wants. I want to buy an Espresso machine for the house." Shrugging her shoulders, she laughs quietly. "Whatever else you guys want to do. I didn't have anything for Sam, so I figured we'll get her something while we're out tomorrow, also. Maybe find tweed man some other books to read instead of always researching."
Buffy chuckles. "I can't believe you actually got him to read something else. And that he likes it!"
"Yeah, actually kind of surprised me." Kelly smirks slightly. "Looks like Dawn made it."
Buffy looks over and smiles at Dawn sitting on the couch, talking to the other two women. "Uh, oh. Got a guy zooming in. Wonder which one he's after."
Kelly grins as she slowly turns them and watches. "Don't know. We'll find out soon." Seeing Dawn stand up and walk out onto the dance floor, Kelly chuckles. "Hmm. Two slow songs in a row. I got to give this band a tip."
Buffy closes her eyes, snuggling in tighter. "I bet you could talk them into playing all slow songs."
"Nope, can't do that. I want to watch you dance. I have a feeling you and Faith can set the dance floor on fire." Kelly smiles at the thought.
"What about you?" Buffy murmurs before placing a kiss on the skin under her cheek.
"I'm not so good with the dancing. I can slow dance." Kelly's voice drops to a husky note on the next words. "I can dirty dance in the privacy of our own room."
Buffy groans slightly as the tone of her lover's voice, works through her body. "Oh, yeah. You can definitely do that kind of dancing."
As the song came to an end and the band goes into a hard, driving beat, Kelly pulls away smiling. "Dance, baby. I'm going to sit and watch. Want me to send Faith out here?"
Buffy smirks. "She'll make it out here on her own. You don't mind?"
Shaking her head Kelly leans down and presses a brief kiss on Buffy's lips. "Enjoy yourself."
Sam smirks. "Still not fast dancing?"
"Nope." Kelly narrows her eyes at the woman. "Why don't you get out there?"
Sam shrugs her shoulders and stands. "Okay, I will. You coming Faith?"
Faith grins, "Oh, hell yeah."
Kelly sits down and smiles watching the women on the dance floor. Watching Buffy on the dance floor, is like watching poetry in motion, Kelly decides. Glancing briefly at Faith and Sam, Kelly chuckles as she watches them slowly gravitate towards each other. Switching her eyes back to her lover, she watches as a guy comes up to her. Seeing Buffy look her way with a raised eyebrow, Kelly just smiles. Leaning back into the couch and propping her feet up on the coffee table, Kelly enjoys watching her lover dance and tease the other people wanting to dance with her.
Dawn shakes her head as she walks over to finally sit down and drink some of her soda. "You're just sitting here while my sister is out there bumping and grinding with all those guys?"
"Yep." Kelly answers, not taking her eyes off her lover. "She can take care of herself. Plus she's going home with me."
Dawn shakes her head in disbelief. "You aren't jealous?"
"No. Why should I be?" Kelly briefly turns her head and looks at Dawn. "She's having a good time, no harm no foul." Turning back Kelly chuckles as she sees Faith and Sam starting to dance more together and ignore the other guys around them. "We're going shopping tomorrow. I didn't really know what to get you for Christmas, so you have carte blanche. Buy what you want, and if Buffy gets pissy, let me know."
Dawn looks at Kelly in shock. "I can buy anything I want?" She questions.
"Yep." Kelly briefly looks at Dawn. "Just don't do it just to piss Buffy off. I'll end up paying for it, if you do." Kelly grins slightly. "Even though that isn't necessarily a bad thing."
"You are really, really strange." Dawn shakes her head.
"Yep." Kelly agrees watching Buffy. "Hmmm. Sounds like another slow song. Hope you don't mind my leaving you for a few minutes." Kelly states as she stands up walking towards her lover.
Dawn chuckles quietly. "Like that would stop you." she states as she watches Kelly ease up behind her sister and lean down saying something to her. "You're good for her." Dawn whispers quietly, watching as Buffy turns around and tucks her body into the taller woman.
AAAAAAA
Buffy smiles as she feels Kelly come up behind her.
"May I have this dance, beautiful lady?" Kelly whispers in Buffy's ear, and smiles as Buffy turns around and presses her body against her. "I'll take that as a yes." Looking up at the guy that Buffy had been dancing with, Kelly cocks an eyebrow. "Sorry, dude. Looks like she's mine."
Buffy chuckles quietly into Kelly's chest. "You're so bad." Buffy whispers running her hand up the inside of her lovers shirt, playing over her lovers back, gently tracing the scars.
"I can be." Kelly chuckles quietly. "Sam and Faith seem to be getting closer." Kelly comments, watching the two women who had left the dance floor, sit on the couch close together, talking.
"Matchmaking?" Buffy questions, running her thumb up the side of her lover's breast, smiling as she hears a low moan.
"Testing the waters more than anything." Kelly whispers. Arching slightly as Buffy scraps her thumb nail over the skin on the side of her breast. "Careful. You're playing with fire." Kelly growls lowly.
Buffy smiles. "Really?" She asks quietly, before becoming more bold and shifting her hand to run her thumb directly over the hardening nipple.
"Buffy." Kelly warns quietly. As Buffy shifts her hand more and lightly pinches her nipple, Kelly growls. "That's it." Grabbing Buffy up to press against her body, Kelly heads over to the stairs, quickly striding up them. Taking Buffy to the darkened back corner, Kelly presses Buffy's back against the wall and wedges a thigh between her legs before kissing her roughly.
Buffy groans into the kiss, while pressing herself against the thigh.
Pulling out of the kiss and lowering her head to the slayer's shoulder, Kelly pants, trying to bring her hormones under control. Feeling Buffy's hands run from her back around her abdomen, trying to wiggle their way into her pants, Kelly shifts back and grabs the two hands, putting them against the wall.
"Kelly!" Buffy growls loudly in displeasure at her hands being removed from her lovers body.
"Don't." Kelly whispers, feeling the sexual tension along with the magic already at an almost unbearable level within her, looking for release. Trying hard to get it under control, Kelly breathes in deeply and groans loudly. "Got to leave, Buffy." Kelly whimpers in need, her body rocking.
Buffy actually stops and looks at her lover, slowly bringing her own cravings back under control. "Oh, God!" Buffy whispers, feeling the magic literally reaching for her from Kelly. "Get out of here, I'll be home as soon as I can. Have the shields up and in place, if you can."
Kelly nods, but doesn't move or open her eyes.
"Kelly?" Buffy questions getting more worried by the second.
"Go, maybe if you're away from me, it won't be so strong." Kelly struggles to get out.
Buffy shifts out from between Kelly and the wall. Running down the stairs quickly. Seeing Faith sitting on the couch, drinking a soda she runs up to her. "Faith! I need you."
Faith looks up in surprise, figuring the two women had snuck off somewhere for a quickie. Seeing the scared look on Buffy's face she jumps up. "What is it?"
"I hate to ask this of you, but the magic thing almost has complete control of Kelly. If we stay near each other…" Buffy trails off with a pleading look on her face.
"I'll get her home." Faith states quickly. "Where is she?"
"Upstairs. If she can't get the shields up when she gets home…" Buffy looks from Faith to Sam and then Dawn. "You guys are either going to be in a world of hurt or you're going to need to get the hell out of the house."
"I'm going to get her home. You guys follow in the vehicle." Faith growls, running up the stairs.
"Kelly's magic initiates the transfer." Buffy looks at Sam and Dawn. "I have a feeling it's going to hit Faith hard, being around her."
Sam looks at Buffy. "Dawn, let's get Buffy to the house." Sam stops and looks up as Faith drags Kelly down the steps, seeing the sparks literally shooting from Kelly's eyes, and her body shaking. "Damn." Sam exclaims quietly, seeing Faith almost picking Kelly up and getting her out of the club quickly.
"Come on." Dawn quickly grabs up Kelly's jacket off the couch and throws Buffy hers.
Sam puts her jacket on and grabs Faiths quickly following Buffy and Dawn out to the Hummer. As they head quickly back to the house, there's no sign of Faith or Kelly anywhere. "Where are they?"
Buffy shakes her head. "Faith knows these streets as well as I do. She's probably trying to take her the less traveled, but quick routes, to keep her away from other people."
Sam nods. "Good idea. What's Tara's phone number?"
Buffy looks at Sam confused until she sees the phone in Sam's hands. Quickly rattling the number off Buffy watches Sam.
"Tara? This is Sam. We've got a problem, the magic is literally oozing out of Kelly and we need somewhere for Dawn and Giles to stay tonight…Thanks, they'll be over soon." Quickly hanging up Sam looks at Buffy. "What's your number?" Dialing Buffy's house Sam impatiently waits for Giles to answer the phone. "Giles get a change of clothes for you and Dawn and be ready at the front door. Oh, shut the fuck up and do it." Sam growls before disconnecting the call.
Buffy looks in confusion at Sam. "What about you and Faith?"
Sam looks in Buffy's eyes. "Faith is with Kelly right now. She's getting a very serious load of pheromones from her, right?"
Buffy nods, frowning then her eyes open wide. "You're…"
"Yeah. She's going to need something. I just wish I had something extra for her that might help." Sam whispers quietly, looking out the window.
Buffy swallows looking towards Dawn and seeing the worried look on her sisters face. Reaching over she places her hand on her arm. "It'll be okay, Dawn." Chuckling Buffy rolls her eyes towards the roof. "I'll fuck her silly for four or five hours and get all the magic released and things will be back to norm."
Dawn looks with surprise at Buffy then laughs quietly. "Of course you'll hate every minute of it, huh?"
"Oh, yeah. I'll really be putting myself out to do this." Buffy sarcastically mutters before laughing. Turning to look at Sam, who still has a pensive look on her face, she shakes her head. "I think we have a couple things that haven't been used yet that you are more than welcome to have, if you want."
Sam glances at Buffy with a confused look. "What?"
"We have extra harness' and dildos in the house, along with lubes and just about any fucking thing else you can think of. I'll grab out the ones that we haven't used and let you have at it." Buffy quickly states as they pull up in front of the house.
Sighing quietly as a small smile finally crosses the woman's face. "Good. That'll be a great help." Looking at Buffy for a moment she furrows her brows "You guys have only been together a little over a week and you have all that stuff?"
Chuckling loudly at Sam, Buffy nods. "Oh, yeah. Made the mistake of mentioning that I would be willing to try and that's all it took. Less than half an hour later she was in the store buying anything and everything she could put her hands on."
Dawn groans as they head into the house. "I really don't want to hear about your toys that you use." Dawn giggles as Giles is standing in front of them with a couple small bags of clothes in his hands and a confused look on his face.
Buffy rolls her eyes. "Kelly's on magic overload. Faith's bringing her to the house and we don't know if she'll be able to get the shield up. She hasn't taught me the spell yet."
Understanding finally dawning in the watchers eyes he looks at Sam. "I should have probably gotten stuff for you and Faith also."
Buffy chuckles quietly. "You weren't listening very well. Faith is with Kelly bringing her in. She's going to be in sex drive overload by the time she gets her here."
Giles pales and then blushes deeply. "Oh, OH! Quite right. Well, Dawn, let's head over to Tara and Willows." The watcher quickly leaves the house followed by a giggling Dawn.
"Come on, Sam." Buffy shakes her head, not believing that she's actually talking about this stuff, let alone giving her lover's ex-lover adult toys.
Quickly running up the stairs and opening the toy box, Buffy quickly throws the monster cock on the bed and some other things as she digs for the items still in the packages. Grabbing them out and setting them down on the edge of the bed along with some lubes that were still sealed.
Sam's eyes open wide as the items start piling up. "Shit." She whispers in an unbelieving tone.
Buffy finally finishes pulling items out and looks up at Sam. "Take any and all items you want out of this pile. They haven't been used." Leaning down and taking her shoes and socks off, Buffy stops as she feels her body ratcheting back up. "Shit, they're getting close."
Sam looks over at Buffy with a surprised look. Feeling her body starting to heat up, she nods her head. "Very close. Hopefully she didn't affect to many people on the way here." Grabbing what she can carry and heading towards… "Buffy, where?"
Buffy looks up from unbuttoning her shirt and stripping it off. "Use Giles' room. We'll change the sheets tomorrow." Unbuttoning and unzipping her pants she quickly strips them off, realizing that Sam had dropped and left a few items. Grabbing them quickly she heads to her old room, throwing them on the bed where Sam was standing, pulling items out of the packages. "Here are the rest of the items." Buffy smiles slightly.
Sam looks over at Buffy and laughs. "Strange thing. Never expected to see you like this."
"Never expected to be seen like this." Hearing the door slam downstairs, Buffy's eyes open wide. "Shit, sorry for this, Sam."
"It's okay. Won't be the first time I've had an orgasm because of Kelly." Sam jokes as she quickly starts stripping.
Laughing in appreciation, Buffy yells over her shoulder heading to her bedroom "Yeah, but not like this! I don't know what it'll be like as an overflow, but the real thing is a fucking rush."
AAAAAAAAA
Faith stops for a moment at the top of the stairs, seeing the tall brunette with her head and hands against the wall, with her body shaking. The sight scaring Faith.
"Come on, stretch. We need to get you home and away from all the people." Faith growls, already feeling her body humming.
"Get away from me, Faith." Kelly groans, banging her head against the wall, trying to get her body under control.
"Can't. I'm under orders to get your ass back to the house quickly. And we'll need to make sure we stay away from as many people as possible. To do that, we gotta get your ass out of here, now." Faith growls before touching the woman. "Fuck me!" She snarls as she feels her body already ratcheting up to the edge of release. Fighting back her own want, Faith pulls the woman away from the wall and looks in her eyes. "We're getting you the fuck out of here and to the house, now."
Looking at the slayer, Kelly nods. "Let's get out of here and away from these people that don't have a fucking clue what's going on."
Faith drags her quickly down the stairs, having to almost pick her up, as the woman stops, looking at Buffy. "Come on, stretch. Think about all the kiddies here that are going to get happies because of you."
Growling, Kelly lets Faith drag her out of the Bronze.
"Stay with me, Stretch." Faith starts jogging, keeping her hand on the woman's arm, making sure she's with her. "Can you go faster?" Faith questions.
"Hell yeah." Kelly growls, starting a fast run.
Faith picks up her pace to lead the woman through the backstreets away from any people that may be out.
"I'm sorry, Faith." Kelly mutters out, feeling the magic literally oozing from her.
"Don't worry about it." Faith mumbles, starting to breath heavily at the pace they set. "That's what friends do for each other." Faith smiles.
Kelly looks over at the woman and grins. "Thanks."
"Welcome." Faith's lips twitch. "But you are so going to owe me for making me this fucking horny."
"Well, I'd offer to make it up to you…" Kelly trails off chuckling quietly.
"But that ain't gonna happen, right?" Faith grins, trying not to laugh.
"Not personally." Kelly grins looking at the brunette. As they turn on Revello Drive, Kelly's eyes start sparking again. "She's home." Kelly growls.
Faith feels the clenching in her lower body. "Damn, girl! Too bad we can't bottle this and sell it. We'd make a fuckin' fortune." Faith looks to Kelly and watches as the woman literally takes off like a bat out of hell up the street. "Shit." Faith shakes her head before picking up her own speed heading in the house behind Kelly. Faith stops at the top of the stairs, closing her eyes as the feelings start rocking in her body, groaning, she starts to turn to head back out of the house, when she feels a hand on her arm. Turning, seeing Sam standing there naked, Faith groans low and deep.
"Come on, Faith." Sam pulls her into Buffy's old bedroom.
Faith follows the woman. "You don't have to..." Trailing off as Sam starts quickly disrobing her.
"Do you need this?" Sam asks quietly, looking into the lust filled gaze of the slayer. As Faith nods watching the woman, she closes her eyes and moans as Sam runs her hands over her breasts, lightly pinching her nipples.
"Then let me help you out." Sam suggests, leaning in and kissing the slayer strongly, flicking her tongue over and around Faith's.
"Oh, hell yes." Faith mutters when Sam pulls away to help her finish getting undressed.
AAAAAAAAA
Running up the stairs, Kelly quickly tears off her shirt and bra hopping up yanking one boot off before doing the same with the other and ripping her pants off as she runs in the room, seeing Buffy on the bed, she literally jumps on her, kissing her deeply and groaning as Buffy quickly situates the monster dildo between her legs, making sure it's at her entrance, Buffy barely has time to move her hand before Kelly slams down, crying out in a combination of pain and pleasure.
Buffy groans as she can already feel the magic starting to coalesce between them, causing her to push up hard into Kelly, grunting as she feels a climax already working through her body.
Kelly groans before she rises up and down above her lover, starting a more powerful stroking, she starts pounding herself down onto Buffy, grunting on each downward thrust. "Fuck!" Kelly groans, feeling the power building in her, but not releasing completely, working it's away out of her in small increments.
Buffy groans, thrusting her hips up hard into her lover, feeling the magic releasing so slowly, she can't believe it hasn't started cycling through her body. Opening her eyes, she looks at Kelly, finally seeing that her lover is in need of some help. Quickly pulling Kelly's hips down tight against hers, Buffy flips them around. Looking into Kelly's eyes she hoarsely questions. "Want me to use my hand, see if that helps?"
Kelly nods her head at the question, pushing her hips up against Buffy even as she's agreeing.
Buffy reaches over and grabs some lube before shifting down and out of her lover before quickly running her hand through her lovers wetness and slowly sliding her hand in. As she reaches in, she quickly makes a fist sliding all the way in, as far as Kelly can take her.
Grunting as her lovers hand buries itself in her, Kelly starts rocking into her lover. "Fuck me, hard." Kelly groans out quietly.
Buffy swallows and shifts her body to a better position, pulling back and shoving into Kelly.
"Put some muscle into it." Kelly growls, pushing up hard against Buffy.
"Kelly!" Buffy warns lowly.
"Do it. Whatever happens, it'll fucking heal." Kelly growls grinding against the hand inside her.
Buffy shakes her head, her eye catching the lube, looking up at her lover, she takes a deep breath. "Give me a moment, I need both hands."
"Damn it, Buffy! Fucking hurry!" Kelly opens her eyes looking at her lover.
Buffy grabs the lube, leaning down, she sucks Kelly roughly in her mouth, sucking almost punishing on the swollen muscle.
"Hell, yeah!" Kelly bucks up into Buffy's mouth. Feeling Buffy suck and lick hard across her, Kelly shoves herself harder at her lover.
Buffy quickly lubes her left hand before tossing the lube to the end of the bed, still sucking and licking Kelly, quickly sliding her hand back into Kelly's needy center, Buffy starts a fast hard rhythm in her lover.
Kelly grunts out in approval as Buffy starts pounding in her. Rocking her body against her lover, Kelly screams. "HARDER!"
Buffy pulls her lips away, panting heavily before pounding harder inside her lover, quickly taking her left hand and working two fingers in Kelly's tight rosebud, pushing in gently, making Kelly grunt in pleasure. Feeling her lovers muscles ease their tightness, Buffy starts working her fingers in and out, still keeping up the fast hard rhythm with her fist in her love's center. Feeling Kelly's body starting to tense up as the orgasm starts building, Buffy feels the magic flowing freer, working its way slowly, but surely, into her body. Quickly adding a third finger to the now loosened muscles, Buffy shoves her hips down into the mattress, the base of the dildo smashing her clit.
Kelly groans loudly as she climaxes, rocking her hips up against her lovers hand and fingers, Kelly pants. "Oh, God, keep it going."
Buffy groans, climaxing, feeling the power flowing through her body like molasses, realizing she's letting off on the pressure, Buffy doubles her efforts, her own body rocking while she pounds in her lover, the power working continuously through both women. Feeling her arm getting tired, Buffy growls in frustration, as the magic and power is still working strongly. Shifting her body up, she quickly pulls her hands away from her lovers body and slams the dildo into her lovers center, snapping her hips quick and hard. As fast as she can, Buffy pounds into Kelly continuously. Growling, Buffy leans down sucking her lovers nipple hard, biting as she feels another climax work through her body, the power building up inside her.
Kelly feels the warmth of the magic circling in her body and the power working it's way from her body into Buffy's. As Buffy bites down on her nipple, she screams, arching hard, feeling the magic release as if a dam broke, arcing into Buffy's body in a golden arc.
Buffy cries out, feeling the full release of magic coming into her body, opening up her hidden stores of power, coursing through her in a golden haze. Burying herself deep in her lover, unable to move, Buffy pushes down hard into Kelly's arch, seeing a brilliant emerald light enter Kelly before both women collapse, passing out.
