Faith had a choice to make and it should've been an easy one for her. Buffy lived across the street, a couple of houses down. Why was she debating whether or not to see her? Faith sighed, staring at the crotch of her jeans. You wouldn't have guessed it, but she was pretty turned on. She needed release, but she couldn't have Buffy find out her secret. Buffy wouldn't care for her if she knew the truth.

Buffy had quickly gone through her nightly ritual and gotten ready for bed. She thought she looked rather good in just a pair of white cotton panties and white T-shirt that was one size too small. She was certain there was no way that Faith could turn down a hot make out session.

Faith continued to sit in her car, debating what to do. They didn't have to have sex and she didn't think that's what Buffy wanted. Maybe, she could do things go Buffy instead of the other girl touching her in places. She really hoped that's all Buffy wanted. She opened her car door, getting out and crossed the street. Her arousal wasn't as strong as before but it was still there, aching to be taken care of.

Buffy stood near the kitchen door, looking through the lacy curtain for any sign of Faith. She smiled, seeing her figure approach the back door. She quickly opened it, pulling Faith inside, closing and locking the door behind them. "You have to be quiet. We've got to sneak past my mom and little sister's room." She whispered.

Faith nodded, allowing Buffy to lead her by hand upstairs. She took in the sight of Buffy, thinking she'd never seen anything hotter. She could feel her arousal for the other girl build again and she bit down into her bottom lip from groaning out loud.

The moment Buffy shut and locked her bedroom door she pounced on Faith, wrapping her arms around the other girl's neck and pulled her into searing kiss that left the brunette feeling a bit light headed.

"Uh," Faith failed at attempting to string together a coherent sentence.

Buffy laughed, lightly. "That good?" she arched her eyebrow playfully, pressing a far softer kiss against Faith's mouth.

"Yeah," she mumbled against Buffy's mouth.

"A woman of few words I like that." Her words were teasing but playful.

Faith closed her eyes, trying to control her breathing. "Let's slow down." She proposed, hoping Buffy wouldn't find that weird.

"Why?" Buffy pulled back, looking self-conscious. Maybe, she'd read Faith wrong?

Faith sighed, knowing what she was about to say would end things for her and Buffy before they truly started. She was so tired of doing this, ruining what could be good relationships because of this secret of hers. She didn't know any other way though. "You're a nice girl…" She trailed off, not able to lie to Buffy and tell her there was someone else. "And I want to take things slow with you, B. You don't have to do all of this to keep me interested. I'm very interested."
