I could be bad if I wanted to. I could be really naughty.”

And we want her to.
“That tongue-ringed skank still after you?”

Now there's a question you don't hear very often. Too bad I don't live in New York I'd offer myself to the tongue-ringed skank as a consolation prize since Willow is just a girl who can't say 'yes' since meeting Tara.
“You go bright red right before you come and I still think it’s the sexist thing I’ve ever seen.”

Nothing says sexy like intentionally making your girlfriend choke so you can cop a feel by giving her the heimlich.
“I have some leather pants at home,” Tara interjected, amused.

Tara and leather pants go together like peanut butter and jelly.
I can deny chicks in chainmail nothing.

********
AUTHOR: Laragh

CHAPTER RATING: NC-17

DISCLAIMER: These things are a bitch to write a different account for every time, so here’s the deal; I DON’T OWN THE CHARACTERS. Never have, never will, just borrowing them to continue my existence in happy denial-land.

SUMMARY: Willow leaves the only home she’s ever known to fulfil her parent’s dream of her attending New York University, but ends up having her own dreams come true in the process.

SPOILERS: Nope. This is totally Uber. Oh, but I probably will steal some dialogue here and there.

FEEDBACK: I crave it like I crave Oreos and milk. (Which is a lot. Just to be clear.)

Chapter 17

********

Previously:

Closing the door behind her, she lunged at her girlfriend, kissing up her neck and to her lips as she walked them into her bedroom.


“I think it’s about time for naked presents.”







Tara giggled and let herself be pushed back onto the bed, propping herself up on her elbows as she watched Willow tug the shirt she was wearing out of her pants and over her head.


“Green is pretty,” Tara remarked, commenting on the colour of her girlfriend’s bra, “Like your eyes.”


“Glad you like the colour,” Willow replied with a shy smile as she slipped off her shoes and shimmed out of her pants, “‘Cause I kinda got myself something at that shop too.”


Tara smiled in delight as she saw the newly revealed green satin panties, matching the ones she was wearing herself in everything but colour and wording across the front.


“Damn right you’re Tara’s Girl,” she said, her smile getting wider, “C’mere. I wanna unwrap the rest of you.”


Willow eagerly leapt onto the bed and on top of Tara, eliciting another giggle from the brunette.


“Thank you for a wonderful birthday,” she said softly, stroking the redhead’s cheek.


“My pleasure,” Willow whispered with a smirk, “And it’s about to be yours.”


Tara gave her girlfriend a sensual half-smile in response.


“Get me outta these clothes.”


“Yes, ma’am,” Willow replied promptly, scooting off the end of the bed and pulling the brunette’s skirt off before encouraging her into a sitting position, quickly whipping off her shirt and bra in one fluid motion, “I wanna cover you…with a thousand sweet kisses.”


She traced the taller girl’s lips with her thumb for a moment before crushing them with her own. Tara eagerly responded to the kiss, opening her mouth to let a warm tongue slide in as her hands started rubbing up and down her girlfriend’s back.


What could have been minutes or hours of kissing and lazy caresses passed, during which time Tara managed to divest the redhead of her bra, making their nipples rub together as they moved against each other.


Willow pulled away from the kiss, her lips beginning their quest to touch the brunette everywhere, starting by lavishing attention all over her face.


“Turn around,” she whispered, rolling onto her side as Tara complied with her request, turning to lie on her stomach, “Mmhh…Tara-back…so soft.”


She sighed in appreciation as she leaned over and started to place feather-light kisses all over the brunette’s back, moving up sporadically to her shoulder blades and across the back of her neck before moving down and hooking her thumbs underneath the blue panties.


“Much as I like you wearing these…I think they need to come off,” she said, throwing the fabric behind her and starting to kiss over her butt cheeks.


“Mmhh, that’s nice,” Tara said dreamily, “I love Willow-lips.”


“Willow-lips love you…especially your cute little butt.”


Tara giggled, a giggle which turned into a moan when the redhead started playfully nibbling her cheeks. The brunette opened her legs in response, trying to encourage her lover down lower.


“Subtle, aren’t we?” Willow smirked, “I’ll get there, I promise.”


“Soon?” Tara asked, hopefully.


“Well first I have to kiss your beautiful legs,” Willow replied, moving down and placing kisses down both of her legs, “And then - turn over baby…”


Tara quickly shifted so she was lying on her back again and started wiggling her toes as Willow kissed each of them individually. The redhead moved back and forth between her girlfriend’s legs as she kissed upwards. When she arrived at her centre, she used two fingers to part her lips and placed a gentle kiss on an already throbbing clit, making the taller girl’s legs twitch, before continuing up along her stomach, eliciting a disappointed groan from the brunette.


“No, Willow, go back down, please.”


“Not finished yet,” Willow replied with a soft sigh as she reached two heaving breasts, “But soon…hmm…maybe not too soon though…think I wanna play up here for a while.”


“Then play,” Tara said through gritted teeth, “I need you to do something, anything, please, the teasing is driving me insane.


Willow smiled sweetly at the taller girl and started nuzzling against her breasts.


“Willow, I swear to - oh god…oh god, yes!”


Tara’s initial warning turned into a cry of pleasure as Willow wrapped her lips around a hard nipple and began sucking; giving the brunette some much needed contact. She sighed in pleasure when she felt a hand come up to massage her unattended breast and brought one of her own hands down to hold the redhead to her.


“Don’t stop, honey,” she whispered coarsely, moaning loudly as Willow pinched and bit down on her nipples simultaneously.


Willow continued her ministrations, switching sides occasionally until she felt Tara’s writhing become uncontrollable beneath her.


She gave each nipple a final kiss and sat back on her heels, encouraging the brunette’s knees upwards. Like every other time she was privy to the sight of her girlfriend, completely open and exposed, her breath caught in her throat and she just stared for a minute.


“Please, Will, please,” Tara almost sobbed, the masses of attention that had been lavished on her leaving her whole body tingling in anticipation, “God, I’m so wet.”


Tara’s words snapped the redhead to attention and she trailed one finger through her slit.


“God, you are,” she said in awe, before thrusting two fingers inside, making the brunette gasp sharply, “So wet.”


Tara arched completely off the bed when she felt herself finally being filled and clutched at the sheets, moving her hips in time with Willow’s thrusts, her moans getting louder and louder.


“Oh yea…so good…so very good…Oh Willow…mmhh…Will, rub my – Oh!”


She didn’t need to finish her request as Willow used her spare hand to rub two fingers over the brunette’s clit, circling it gently.


“Oh yea…oh, honey…oh go harder…”


“Which-”


“Both,” Tara panted, pre-empting the question, “Rub harder, fuck harder.”


Willow growled in response and began moving both sets of fingers with more force, making sure she hit against her lover’s sweet spot at each thrust as she rubbed over the brunette’s clit furiously.


They both moved in a steady, fast rhythm, Tara grunting and groaning as she neared her peak, with Willow getting lost in an almost hypnotic trance, watching her girlfriend’s breasts bouncing up and down. She was pulled from her trance a moment later when she felt contractions start around her fingers and looked up to see Tara throwing her head against the pillows.


“Shit, yes!”


Willow quickly lay down and removed both sets of fingers, holding the brunette’s thighs apart even more as she plunged her tongue inside, curling it upwards.


“Oh, Willow, yes, WILLOW!” Tara screamed, colours flying behind her eyelids as the second orgasm hit her before the first had even subsided, her hips bucking uncontrollably into Willow’s face.


Willow continued lapping greedily at the overflowing juices as the brunette’s movements gradually slowed, then stopped completely. She gave one last long lick and crawled up her girlfriend’s body.


Tara fluttered her eyes open when she felt a soft stroking against her cheek.


“There’s those beautiful baby blues,” Willow said with a smile, then leaned down for a gentle kiss.


“Willow, that was incredible,” Tara replied when they pulled back, “That was the most intense…”


Willow gave her a shy smile and leaned down for another kiss.


“Happy Birthday.”


Tara grinned and glanced off to the side, casting her eyes over the alarm clock there.


“Not my birthday anymore,” she said, then flipped them, “But I still want my Willow-treat.”


“Now that you mention it, I could use a hand…”


“How’d you feel about a hand and a tongue?”


“Hmm…let me think about that for a sec,” Willow said, looking contemplative for a moment, “I think that sounds very good.”


“Good,” Tara replied, then looked at her girlfriend seriously for a moment, “You make me feel things I’ve never felt before. And I don’t just mean this, I mean like, everything. You make me so happy.”


Willow seemed surprised at the sudden change in demeanour and cupped Tara’s cheek, looking her straight in the eye.


“I’ve never been happier than the time I’ve known you. My jaw has never been more painful from the amount I’m smiling,” she grinned.


Tara turned her head and kissed her girlfriend’s palm.


“Sure it’s not sore from other things?” she asked, waggling her eyebrows to lighten the mood, feeling silly for her sudden need to declare her delight at being part of her girlfriend’s life.


“That too,” Willow smiled.


Tara nuzzled her nose against the redhead’s and smirked.


“Well my jaw is about to get a little workout of its own…make that a big workout.”


Willow’s eyes lit up.


“Goody.”


Tara smirked again and brought their lips together, deepening the kiss immediately. Their tongues duelled passionately as the brunette’s hands found their way to two pert breasts, squeezing the firm flesh. Willow moaned into the kiss and Tara pulled back, licking the redhead’s lips sensually for a second before beginning her descent downwards, kissing a straight line down until she arrived at damp red curls.


Willow spread her legs and bucked her hips subconsciously when she felt her girlfriend’s hot breath so close to where she needed it most.


“I feel like I should be teasing you mercilessly after how you made me wait so long earlier,” Tara commented, keeping her gaze fixed on her lover’s centre, “But my willpower’s just not strong enough.”


Willow’s only response was a long, drawn-out moan as she felt the brunette’s tongue glide into her wetness and start to flick over her clit.


Tara slid her tongue down and thrust it inside, stroking the inner walls for a moment before replacing her tongue with two fingers and brought her lips back up to wrap around the throbbing hard nub.


“Ooh, baby…”


She felt a hand entwine in her hair, pushing her even further and took the hint, starting a steady sucking motion as her finger’s curled upwards, hitting the sweet spot inside in just a few seconds.


“Oh god, Tara, just like that…so good, so good.”


Willow felt herself climbing higher and higher as Tara continued in her efforts, moving faster when she felt the redhead’s hips start to buck more forcibly into her.


“So close, baby, so close, just a little more…little more…”


The smaller girl clutched at the sheet with her spare hand as she felt herself about to crash and shut her eyes tight as the orgasm finally broke, her head and body flooding with the overwhelming pleasure, convulsing uncontrollably as the brunette brought her down, easing off slowly until she felt a warm body nestling up against her and a blanket covering the two of them.


“That was wonderful,” she said dreamily, still lost in her high, “You’re so amazing.”


Tara smiled contentedly as she got herself into a position that she could spoon her girlfriend, placing a warm kiss on her hair.


“I don’t know about you, but if this is the ballpark of what birthdays together are like, I for one cannot wait for yours.”

Goody goody Tara's gumdrop-sized nipples and big rock candy mountains which they jut out from.

Chapter 18

********


“Oh, hi, Craig,” Willow greeted as her neighbour opened the main door of the building, just as she was about to enter.


“Hey, doll,” Craig replied, letting the redhead step inside, “Ooh, what’s in the bag?”


“Oh,” Willow said, holding up the purple plastic bag in her hand, “Just some candles and stuff. Tara seemed to be in a bit of a bad mood yesterday and today, I wanted to cheer her up. Um, she didn’t happen to mention if anything was wrong? If I was maybe doing something wrong? We had a great time on her birthday, at least I though we did, then she seemed a bit…off when we woke up the next morning, yesterday, and today she’s even worse.”


Craig nodded his head as his neighbour explained the situation and put a hand on her arm comfortingly.


“I don’t think you’ve done anything. She always gets really weird right after her birthday, I don’t know why. I’ve called her on it a few times, but she says I must be imagining it, that she’s just tired or something. If I know Tara though, she’ll tell you if you’re annoying her, she’s told me enough times,” he said with a smile, “I’m sure she’ll love the candles.”


“Yea…she has so much on with class and work and everything, maybe she is just tired?” Willow asked hopefully, not wanting to be the cause of her girlfriend’s sadness the past couple of days.


“Maybe,” Craig said, “She always gets over it though. Oh and hey, got a flyer today, Halloween party, tell your girl we’re all going and that she can’t go as ‘student’ again, she needs a proper costume. That goes for you too.”


“Um, okay. Costume. Cool.”


Halloween. As in, two weeks away. As in two weeks to find a costume to go to a party to that doesn’t make me look like a complete dork. Okay, trusty laptop, eBay awaits. With expedited shipping.


“Tell Tara I’m around if she needs. Bye, red.”


Willow gave a small wave as Craig left the building and turned down the street, before trudging up to the elevator and waiting for it to arrive, the fact that she was being weighed down by her books in one hand and her bag of candles, mood music and massage oils in the other making her not want to walk up the six flights of stairs to their apartment.


She’d gone to an aromatherapy shop after her classes that day and picked up the items, hoping that if she was able to get Tara to relax that she wouldn’t be so down in the dumps, or at least get her to open up about what was causing it. The fact that her normally bubbly girlfriend seemed so depressed, more than just ‘having a bad day’ kind of thing, worried her beyond belief, the brunette had barely spoken two words since the morning after her birthday and had been unusually clingy when they were falling asleep, not that Willow minded, the closer Tara was, the better in her books, but the erratic behaviour just worried her even more.


She sighed as she stepped into the elevator and pressed three, deciding she would do whatever her girlfriend needed, for whatever reason she needed them, in order to feel better.


Space. Maybe she needs space? Just some alone time? But she doesn’t seem distant, in fact it’s the opposite, like she’s trying to hold onto me, like she’s scared of losing me or something. But that’s ridiculous, I’m hers, she knows that, just like she’s mine, we tell each other every day…


She stepped off the elevator and put the bag on the ground so she could find her key. Pulling it from her pocket and picking up the plastic again, she turned the lock and stepped inside, dropping everything in her hands straight away as she saw Tara curled up in a ball and sobbing, her back against the couch, surrounded by tissues and a box that Willow couldn’t identify. She quickly kicked the door closed and rushed over, kneeling beside the brunette.


Not sure what was wrong, or how exactly to respond to the situation, her hands hovered around for a few seconds, before she sat on the floor and pulled the other girl to sit between her legs. She wrapped her arms around her girlfriend’s stomach and leaned her head forward to whisper in her ear.


“I got you, Tare. I’m right here, I’m right here.”


Willow’s words just seemed to make the brunette sob harder as she held the hands on her stomach, hot tears splashing onto their overlapped hands. The redhead rocked them slowly, comfortingly for an indeterminate amount of time as the taller girl’s cries subsided, then stopped, then her whole body relaxed into Willow’s embrace. There was silence for another few moments before a shaky voice piped up.


“My parents…they died, um…their anniversary.”


“Oh, Tara,” Willow said and tightened her hold, “Oh, baby, I’m so sorry.”


“Twenty years…” Tara replied in a quiet whisper, “They’ve been dead twenty years.”


Willow’s eyes widened as they took in the implication of what Tara’s statement meant.


“You were three days old?”


The brunette nodded slowly and felt a small kiss being placed on the back of her neck.


“We got into a car accident on the way home from the hospital.”


Tara’s voice broke completely as she finished her sentence and her sobs started again. She turned in the redhead’s embrace and cried into her neck. Willow felt a few tears of her own fall at seeing the other girl in so much pain, but managed to compose herself, knowing Tara needed her to be strong for the two of them.


She tightened their embrace and kissed the brunette’s forehead, lingering there until she felt trembling hands cup her cheeks and desperate lips seeking her own, franticly searching for some sort of confirmation of vitality, existence, to feel anything other than the heart-wrenching pain of losing something you never even knew.


Willow sensed what Tara needed and cupped the back of her head, bringing them closer to try to give as much comfort as she could, trying to slow down the distressed, frenzied kiss that the taller girl had started to a more consoling, reassuring one.


Tara seemed to acknowledge this and settled herself until their lips were just moving against each other slowly. Willow could feel that oxygen would soon be becoming an issue for her, and knew that Tara, whose breath had been laboured from crying so hard before they’d even started kissing would most likely already be struggling.


She slowly stilled her movements, feeling the brunette do the same so their lips were just resting against each other and cupped her cheek, pulling back and using her thumb to stroke the skin underneath it. Tara opened her eyes, still filled with tears and looked down, embarrassed.


“Don’t look away from me, beautiful. Please?”


Tara looked up and met her girlfriend’s eye.


“Thank you,” she said, not able to control the wobble in her voice, still.


“You’ve nothing to thank me about. You’re my girl, remember?”


“I remember,” Tara nodded, a sad smile gracing her features.


“I’m so sorry you’ve had so much hurt in your life. No one should lose their parents so young.”


Tara grabbed the box that had been beside her when Willow walked in and dragged it over.


“Pictures,” she said, waving a hand over it.


“Can I see?”


Tara looked between the box and her girlfriend and nodded. She’d never looked through them with anyone, even her grandmother. She’d always had them, she figured her grandmother had given them to her before she could even remember, and kept them private; looking through them on the anniversary of their death, trying to form memories she had never been given a chance to have.


“You don’t have to,” Willow continued, “But if you wanna share, I’m here to listen. And hold you.”


“Can you do both?”


“Most definitely,” Willow replied and scooted them both back against the sofa, putting her arm around the brunette’s shoulder and kissed her neck.


Tara picked up the first photograph, a close-up of a man and a woman in matching blue hats and gowns, smiling giddily into the camera.


“They met at Columbia. In their third year. This was their graduation.”


She handed the photo over and Willow smiled.


“Your Mom looks just like you. Or you look just like her. Either way, beautiful.”


“You really think so?”


“God, yes. Same eyes and cheek bones…even the same smile. Change your Dad to me and I could be looking at us in a few years.”


Tara felt like the feeling she’d been having, like there were chains surrounding her heart, for the past couple of days start to unravel as she shared what she had of her parents and heard her girlfriend talk about a future, their future. She picked up another photo and held it between them, Tara’s parents, with her dad on his knees kissing her mother’s stomach, the woman throwing her head back in laughter. She looked at the writing on the back to confirm it was the picture she thought.


“Yea. This was taken the day they found out they were having me. I actually found it in this,” she picked up a hefty leather-bound book, “Mom’s diary. She started it the day she met my dad and wrote about each day with him. I skipped the, uh, more intimate parts, but she talks loads about how much they loved each other and how much they wanted me…it’s kind of nice to read sometimes, ya know?”


“Of course it is. You’re so very special, you know that?”


Tara cuddled in closer and put the items back in the box, picking up a new photo, both of her parents lying in a hospital bed, holding a small baby between them.


“This…this was taken right before me and mom got discharged from the hospital…about an hour before…”


Tears sprung to Tara’s eyes again and she wiped her sleeve to try and get them before they fell.


“What happened?” Willow asked quietly, using her spare hand to entwine their fingers.


“I only know what I was told, ya know? Three days old and everything. But apparently Dad was driving and Mom was in the front seat as well. Another car hit them from the side and the car tumbled down into a ditch. Dad was…gone before they even got to hospital and Mom was in a coma for a couple of days before the internal injuries got too much.”


“How did you… I mean, you were just a little baby,” Willow replied, gobsmacked.


“I dunno how or why, but apparently I was leaning downwards from the car seat in the collision, or they figure I must’ve been anyway, and when the other car crashed I got propelled under the front seat of the car. It protected me. It’s why I’ve got a crooked nose.”


“You’ve got a perfect nose,” Willow said and turned to kiss her girlfriend’s nose, noticing the slight crookedness for the first time, so slight that you wouldn’t notice at all unless you were told, “It’s beautiful.”


“I’m sorry I’ve been so out of it the past couple of days. I just get so confused after my birthday, like I should feel bad about having a good time, or…being alive…you, know, when they aren’t.”


“This might not be my place and if I’m saying the wrong thing I give you full privilege to tell me to shut my trap, but I think your parents would want you to be happy. I know it. They were doctors; they were all about saving and living life. And I know they’d be proud of you, the wonderful, strong woman you grew up to be. I know I’m proud of you, proud that I get to call you my girlfriend. And I can’t imagine them saying any different about being their daughter.”


“Those philosophy classes are paying off,” Tara tried to joke.


Willow let out a low laugh and turned again to meet the brunette’s gaze.


“I’m so thankful that you were born and that you survived that crash. I can’t even imagine my life without you now… that might seem stupid-”


“No. I understand completely,” Tara replied with a sincere tone.


“I just wanna say that I want us to be able to cry together if we need to, as well as all the fun and laughter and smiles that we have. You don’t need to keep things to yourself if you feel like you’re burdening me with them. You could never be a burden.”


“Real deal relationship, right?” Tara asked with a smile.


“Real deal relationship,” Willow confirmed and leaned over for a sweet kiss, “Hey, what kinda doctors were they?”


“Oh,” Tara replied, smiling from the kiss, “Dad was an ER doc and Mom was a paediatrician.”


“What kind of doctor do you wanna be? I can’t believe I never asked.”


“OB/GYN I think. I wanna get into fertility, helping people create families.”


“That sounds just like you.”


Willow settled back down against the sofa and pulled the box between them, kissing each of her girlfriend’s knuckles on their still-conjoined hands individually before speaking.


“Better get started, we’ve got a whole box of photo’s to get through here. I wanna know whatever you wanna tell me about the very special people that brought you into the world.”

Awww That was really good, it gives depth to the relationship and shows how Willow and Tara's relationship is more than others she has had. I am glad that she chose to share with Willow.

Wow, poor Tara. Must have been really hard growing up without ever knowing her parents. But good that she has Willow now who is always there. :smash
PS: Not to nag but what do you mean by Baby Tara was reaching downward? That she was actually doing it? Cuz you know... babies that young dont do that :P

Halloween. As in, two weeks away. As in two weeks to find a costume to go to a party

I see Willow in a French maid's uniform and Tara wearing the leather pants and a red bandana for a shirt like Eliza Dushku wore in "The New Guy when she was riding the mechanical bull.
dropping everything in her hands straight away as she saw Tara curled up in a ball and sobbing,

My heart lodged in my throat as I read this sentence as I can't begin to imagine the pain of losing both parents before any memories could be formed of them.
The empty blackness has been replaced by fiery red tresses of hair and comforting and secure hands since Tara found her Willow tree.
I can deny chicks in chainmail nothing.

Awww. Poor Tara. Nice that Willow comforted her so well. It's not that surprising that she lived because of her car seat. And ob/gyn? Common choice but not particularly lucrative. It's the lowest paying specialty with the highest malpractice rate. Endocrinology would be a better specialty for helping people have babies and still make a little money.

********
AUTHOR: Laragh

CHAPTER RATING: PG-13

DISCLAIMER: These things are a bitch to write a different account for every time, so here’s the deal; I DON’T OWN THE CHARACTERS. Never have, never will, just borrowing them to continue my existence in happy denial-land.

SUMMARY: Willow leaves the only home she’s ever known to fulfil her parent’s dream of her attending New York University, but ends up having her own dreams come true in the process.

SPOILERS: Nope. This is totally Uber. Oh, but I probably will steal some dialogue here and there.

FEEDBACK: I crave it like I crave Oreos and milk. (Which is a lot. Just to be clear.)

Chapter 19

********


Willow tied the string of her Stetson hat and tipped it forward slightly. She checked herself out in the mirror one last time, making sure her jeans rested into her cowboy boots comfortably, her plaid shirt tucked into those jeans, her leather belt, complete with fake bullets and gun attached sat nicely across her waist and that her hat looked genuine.


She had decided on the cowboy outfit for the Halloween party after a lot of scanning of eBay pages, realising she would never be comfortable enough to wear any of the skimpy outfits advertised. Tara, taking Craig’s nagging to actually buy a real outfit for the holiday this year, had gotten her costume a couple of days previously, refusing to tell Willow what is was, only that ‘she could wear it during and after the party’, which after the redhead figured exactly what that meant just made her want to see it even more.


Satisfied that her outfit was as complete as it was going to get, she walked out of her bedroom, sighing in frustration when she saw her girlfriend’s still closed, and walked into the kitchen, grabbing a glass from the cupboard and pouring some juice from the fridge. She turned back around, almost dropping her glass when Tara appeared in the living room, in costume.


“You…oh…um…I…”


“Work on those full sentences for me, honey,” Tara smirked.


“YoulooksohotandIwanttotakenaughtyadvantageofyourighthererightnow,” Willow got out in one breath, downing her juice to cool herself down.


“You like?” Tara asked, spinning around before walking over to the redhead.


“Oh I love…what exactly are you?”


Vampire,” Tara explained, holding up a pair of fake fangs she had in her hand, “I figured these would impede kissing so I’m going optional with them.”


Willow looked on in awe at the satin cape, black on the outside, red on the inside, the collar sticking up and tied loosely around her neck, hanging down over…


“Is that a negligee?”


“Yea,” Tara said, biting her lip, “Is that okay with you? Buying real costumes cost a fortune so I kinda had to make do. I already had the boots…”


Willow glanced down at the knee-high red leather boots, gulping as Tara continued speaking.


“So all I had to buy was the cape, which was like a dollar…and this…Maybe I should have checked with you first, though?”


“Hmm? Oh no, baby, I’m okay, totally. I mean, you’re mine, right?”


“You know I am.”


“Then that means I get to show off the hotness that is you. And hubba hubba, little lady, there is a lot of hotness in your general area.”


“You look pretty hot yourself there, cowgirl.”


“I’ve been working on my stance,” Willow said excitedly, relaxing her frame and taking her hat off, holding it against her chest, “Howdy, ma’am.”


“You are too cute. Looking forward to tonight?”


“Yea, totally. Um, my costume’s not to lame, is it?”


“It’s gorgeous. You’re gorgeous.”


Willow blushed and averted her eyes until she felt warm lips on her own and looked back into glinting blue depths. She felt a soft nip on her bottom lip and Tara pulled back grinning.


“Vampires like to bite…that was just a little preview for later.”


“Oh yea?” Willow whispered, and grabbed onto the brunette’s waist, bucking their hips into each other, “Well cowgirls like to ride.”


“Well this vamp must have a little cowgirl in her, ‘cause I think I might be doing some riding later.”


“You’ll definitely have some cowgirl in you later, too.”


Tara smirked, her eyes lighting up and was about to lean down for a smooch when there was a loud banging on the door.


“Craig,” they both sighed at the same time.


“That boy has the worst timing,” Tara groaned and gave the redhead a quick kiss to tide them over before going over to the door and flinging it open.


She snorted when Craig walked into the apartment, on his tippy toes, in a full fairy outfit, complete with wings.


“Subtle, dude. Very subtle.”


“Really, Craig?” Willow asked, withholding a giggle, “A fairy?”


“I’m Tinkerbell!” Craig pouted, “And – Ben, get in here! Stop hiding in the hallway!”


Ben reluctantly shuffled into the apartment, kitted out in full green attire and Craig grabbed his hand.


“And here’s my Peter Pan.”


“Peter Pan and Tinkerbell weren’t a couple,” Willow said contemplatively, “Actually, in the novel, she’s like dead at the end of it and Peter has no memory of her.”


“Wow,” Craig replied, pulling a face, “Downer.”


“Sorry,” Willow replied and looked down.


“Stop making my girlfriend feel bad,” Tara scowled, hitting him on the arm.


“I wish I’d known that,” Ben said kindly, “Maybe I could’ve managed to talk Tink here out of this outfit.”


“Oh yea. Gang up on the fairy. I feel like I’m in high school all over again,” Craig sulked.


Tara rolled her eyes and walked up to Willow, taking her hand.


“I can’t believe you haven’t even noticed that I actually bothered to dress up.”


“Oh three guesses why you choose that,” Craig smirked, brightening up, “Poor Justin, he can’t even come out tonight ‘cause of that damn job and now he’s not gonna get any sleep either.”


“Oh, he’ll be fine,” Tara said casually, “I bought him ear plugs the week after we started dating.”


“I don’t think I’m ever gonna get used to you guys talking about our sex life so fluidly. Uh, openly. I meant openly,” Willow said, blushing.


“I hear ya, sister,” Ben empathised, “I find it easier to imagine that they’re just talking about movie characters.”


“Hey, that’s not a bad idea. Okay, from now on every time I hear ‘Ben’, I’ll think Richard Gere.”


“Hey, thanks, cutie. I hear Willow, I’ll think Scarlett.”


“O’Hara?”


“Johansson.”


“We got a system, buddy,” Willow laughed, as their other halves looked on, confused.


Tara and Craig locked eyes and rolled their eyes.


“Men,” Craig scoffed


“Women,” Tara answered, before giving the redhead a quick kiss on the cheek to let her know she was joking.


“Tara, you’re gonna be freezing out there in that,” Ben said after a moment.


“Oh, I’ll keep her warm,” Willow said pleasantly, “Um, I don’t mean like I’m gonna-”


“Ew, ew, I don’t want the sordid lezzy details, please,” Craig shuddered.


“On that note, I think we should head out. Need to get to Brooklyn,” Tara replied, dragging her girlfriend towards the door.


“We’re going to Brooklyn?”


Tara turned and smiled at her girl.


“Yea, house party. You didn’t know?”


“I just assumed we were going to a club. But I’m all of the good going to a house party. Wait, are there gonna be drunk frat boys there?”


“Hopefully,” Craig smirked, eliciting a scowl from Ben, “So that I can watch their drunken debauchery and laugh at them!”


“Let’s go,” Tara smiled, knowing the interaction was all in fun but too much of it could easily lead to hurt feelings, “I have to protect Will on the subway.”


Willow playfully hit her on the arm as they all walked out of the apartment and started towards the subway station.


Forty minutes later, Craig was ringing the doorbell of a large brick house, running inside and starting to dance as soon as the door swung open.


“I swear he’s on speed sometimes,” Tara shook her head.


“Caffeine pills,” Ben replied, moving to go over to his boyfriend, “Don’t worry, he’s safe with them though.”


“You can get caffeine in pill form?” Willow asked excitedly.


“I think you’re perky enough as it is,” Tara chuckled and walked them into the kitchen, “Drink, m’lady?”


“Um, what did people in the Wild West drink?”


“Uh, whiskey.”


Tara giggled when she saw the redhead shudder, then continued speaking.


“How ‘bout I make you a Wild West Cocktail…they have all the stuff here.”


“You know cocktails?”


“Liza let me work behind the bar a couple of times. Off the books, you know.”


“What else could you make?” Willow asked, leaning on the counter filled with assorted bottles.


“Hmm,” Tara replied and leaned forward and gave the smaller girl a sensual half-smile, “A Wet and Wild Lip Tickler?”


She saw Willow’s eyebrows shoot up and her smile got wider.


“Or one of the classics? A Screaming Orgasm, maybe?”


She put a finger to her lip in mock-contemplation for a moment.


“Oh wait, I know you like. One Sweet Tight Pussy coming up.”


Willow almost choked on air and had to steady herself against the counter with both hands.


“What?” she croaked out, watching Tara pour 7-Up into a mixture of other liquids.


The brunette poured the mixed drink into two shot glasses and pushed one towards her girlfriend.


“Come on. We can drink together,” she winked.


Willow gulped and picked up the shot glass.


“I, um, thought you didn’t drink?”


“I don’t get drunk,” Tara answered, “Anymore. But one isn’t gonna kill me. And I’m already in little enough clothing as it is that even if I did get drunk I probably wouldn’t go about taking it off.”


“Okay,” Willow nodded, “I’m just gonna stick with the one too. So, um, to…”


She raised her shot and tried to think of something to toast to.


“To sweet, tight pussies,” Tara smirked with a wink, watching her girlfriend blush and downed her shot, before leaning over the counter and pulling the redhead into a steamy kiss, Willow grinning against the other girl’s lips.


Wow. She even makes blood sucking fiends hot.

Hehe, loved their sexy teasing :P Damn Craig for interrupting though *g*

That's a really good advice. I will keep that in mind for later :smash
Do I even have to mention the costumes? All four of them: genius.

Willow has fired bullets of lust into my heart and other organs with her cowgirl costume. Reminds me of the story elsewhere on Pens entitled "Green-Eyed Red."
Willow looked on in awe at the satin cape, black on the outside, red on the inside, the collar sticking up and tied loosely around her neck, hanging down over…

Tara would find my neck bone-dry of blood if she tried to bite me there as all the blood in my body has pooled in my nether regions at the visual imagery of Tara in the vampire costume which she cobbled together from bits and bobs of clothing.
“Well this vamp must have a little cowgirl in her, ‘cause I think I might be doing some riding later.”
“You’ll definitely have some cowgirl in you later, too

I bow to their levels of willpower at even making it out the door with the spicy talk bantery hotness that is flowing and flying between them at this moment.
“I don’t think I’m ever gonna get used to you guys talking about our sex life so fluidly. Uh, openly. I meant openly,” Willow said, blushing.

I will never tire of hearing about the moisture levels associated with Willow and Tara's sex life which proves that i really need to find a girlfriend of my own. :pray

Chapter 20

********
Previously:

Tara smirked with a wink, watching her girlfriend blush and downed her shot, before leaning over the counter and pulling the redhead into a steamy kiss, Willow grinning against the other girl’s lips.


Wow. She even makes blood sucking fiends hot.






They pulled back and Willow felt her lips tingling, from the alcohol or kiss, she wasn’t sure, and felt Tara grab her hand and walk them into what she assumed was the living area of the house, but was too covered in passed out college students and spilled beer bottles for anyone to be able to come to a definitive conclusion as to whether that’s what it actually was. They sat on one of the sofas, next to a guy who appeared to be having a conversation with himself.


“Is he okay?” Willow whispered.


Tara looked at him and back at the smaller girl.


“I think so. Probably just smoked some pot or something. Half the people here are strung out.”


“Oh,” Willow nodded, gulping, “Baby, I don’t mind the occasional drink for myself and obviously you can drink or do whatever you want, but I’m not really into the drugs scene…”


“Me either, Will, don’t worry. I like to be lucid to my surroundings. Especially when I’m around you.”


“Cool. Awesome,” Willow said with a smile, relieved, “Hey, there’s some awesome costumes here!”


Tara looked around and smiled as she saw the different outfits of people, some sitting around, some dancing.


“Yea. Look, Spiderman and Little Bo Peep are getting cosy in a corner over there.”


“There’s the movie you never saw,” Willow giggled.


“Hey, Tara.”


Tara looked to the side at her name being called and jumped up when she saw who was there.


“Megan! Oh my god, hi! What’re you doing here?”


“Needed a break from Stanford,” the petite girl said with a smile, then crinkled her nose, “Some family wedding I have to make an appearance at tomorrow. How are you? How’re you keeping?”


“Oh, pretty good. Finally got into college! I’m pre-med in NYU now. And oh,” Tara excitedly turned and grabbed Willow’s hand, pulling her up, “This is my girlfriend, Willow. Willow, this is Megan, my best friend from high school. ‘Til California claimed her and I had to re-do my last year.”


“Girlfriend?” Megan asked with a quirked eyebrow.


“As in we’re in a relationship,” Tara nodded, her smile beaming.


“Wow. I didn’t think you did relationships.”


“Well maybe I was just waiting for the right girl.”


Willow blushed and spoke up for the first time.


“Nice to meet you?”


“Oh, yes, very,” Megan said, extending her hand, which the redhead took, “Nice to meet you. Listen, I have to run, I’m awake at some ungodly hour tomorrow for this wedding, but it was nice to see you again, Tara. Email me, yea? I miss New York!”


“I will,” Tara smiled, then embraced the girl, “Have fun at your wedding.”


“Any luck I’ll get one of the groomsmen back to the hotel room with me.”


Tara laughed and pulled back from the hug.


“Bye Tare. And bye, Willow. You must be pretty special if you managed to get my BFF. Don’t hurt her.”


“Megan…”


“I won’t,” Willow said emphatically.


“Good,” Megan smirked, “See you guys.”


The other two waved and watched Megan crawl over some people, before leaving. They both sat back on the sofa.


“Wow. I haven’t seen her since the summer she left for college. I can’t believe we both ended up at the same party.”


“Fate’s funny that way. She seemed nice.”


“Oh, she was a blast. It’s a shame we kinda lost contact the past year, I’m gonna make sure I email her tomorrow, start the link up again. Hey, I’ve never heard you talk about your friends from back home. I know you said you didn’t have many…”


“Any,” Willow said with a small smile, “Only people I knew were the few kids from synagogue…but it’s not like we hung out or anything. Hebrew School up until my Bat Mitzvah, then just passing greetings or whatever. I kinda chatted to people online, especially after I came out to myself.”



Tara had wrapped an arm around her girlfriend’s waist as she spoke and cuddled in closer.


“I’m glad you’re not all alone anymore,” she said and placed a kiss on her ear.


“Me too,” Willow smiled, “It’s funny, ‘cause you don’t even realise you’re lonely until you actually start hanging around people. And I had my parents, they’re really nice, we used to have family nights all the time and stuff, they were just really hardcore about my education. To the point that they didn’t trust ‘mainstream’ teachers to get my grades good enough.”


“Well, it got you into my life, so remind me to thank them. Hey, do they know about me?”


Willow met the blonde’s gaze and an apologetic look crossed her features. Tara saw and gave her a reassuring smile.


“Its okay, from what you’ve said they probably wouldn’t want a girl getting in the way of studying, right?” she said jokingly, “It’s cool.”


“It’s not that,” Willow replied, biting her lip, “I sorta never came out to them. I thought they’d think it was a phase or something and that it might be easier to accept for them if I waited.”


“Are they homophobic?”


“No, no,” Willow shook her head vigorously, “Not at all. They campaigned for the gay marriage bill to be passed in Iowa at the time. But, you know, it’s different when it’s your own daughter telling you…”


“Yea,” Tara replied, understandingly, “Well, if you decide to tell them, I’ll support you all the way.”


“Thank you, baby,” Willow said sweetly and leaned up for a kiss.


“Oh you’re very welcome,” Tara murmured into the redhead’s lips, before deepening the kiss.


They stayed kissing, Tara’s hands stroking red hair as Willow’s ran up and down the blonde’s arms, as people milled around them and songs changed, for what was at least an hour, though neither girl cared too much to actually check, until Craig came up and swatted Tara on the head with his fairy wand.


“Kissing a hottie, here,” Tara said quickly, before reclaiming the redhead’s lips.


“Yea, great, you live together; you can do that at home. Someone just told me that the cops were called, me and Ben are gonna head out before the bust-up.”


“Oh…right. Uh, what time is it anyway?” Tara asked, pulling back with a final, sweet kiss.


“Two or three I think,” Craig replied, surprising lucid despite the fact he’d been drinking, “We’re gonna try and find another party. You in?”


Willow looked at her girlfriend and shrugged.


“Sure.”


“Yea…” Tara replied and leaned over to whisper in the smaller girl’s ear, “Or we could head home and get on with the biting.”


She nibbled the redhead’s ear to demonstrate and saw the start of a blush rise in her.


“Yea, so we’re gonna head home,” Willow said, jumping up, “Exhausted, you know, partying hard and all that. So we’re gonna go home to bed. To sleep. Lots of slumber-y goodness. So, okay, bye to Ben!”


Willow didn’t give the other two a chance to respond as she grabbed the blonde’s hand and pulled her to the front door and down the steps of the house. She looked around for a second, trying to remember which way they’d arrived and started running to the left, towards the subway.


Tara giggled and slowed them down.


“I don’t want you out of breath before we even start our fun. Cool down, sweetie, still gotta get home.”


“Oh fine,” Willow pouted, “I might just have to get more comfortable with the whole touching in semi-public thing if the only alternative is waiting to get my hands on you.”


“It’s okay…it’s kinda nice to have a slow-burn…makes the pay-off all the better…”


Willow took a few cleansing breaths as they hopped onto the train and Tara pulled her close.


“There’s loadsa weirdo’s out on Halloween. More than usual.”


“I have a gun and you have fangs…”


“They’re both fake,” Tara whispered with a giggle.


“Shush, they don’t know that!”


They both chuckled quietly as the train left the station and spoke in low voices for the duration of the ride, pointing out some of the more ridiculous costumes that were stumbling on until they finally arrived at their stop and started walking the short distance to their apartment quickly.


“Okay, I know I was going for provocative,” Tara said, pulling at the end of her outfit, “But I kind of forgot that it’s almost November in New York. I’m freezing.”


“It is November,” Willow pointed out, “Past midnight. Oh, hey, here!”


The redhead started unbuttoning her plaid shirt, revealing a plain white t-shirt underneath, and slipped it around the blonde’s waist.


“At least now your tushy will be warm,” she continued with a sweet smile.


“Will,” Tara replied, rolling her eyes, “Thank you, but I don’t want you cold, too.”


“If we’re cold together, then we can get warm together. Trust me on this; I’ve worked out the logistics.”


“Well I could never doubt your reasoning skills…and we’re home, anyway.”


Willow’s eyes lit up as she put in the security code to the main door of their building and pulled her girlfriend through it.


“I had a great time tonight,” she said as they walked up the stairs, “I’m starting to like the whole ‘going out’ thing.”


“It’d be difficult if you didn’t in New York. City that never sleeps and all.”


They arrived on their floor and Tara opened the door.


“I like the busyness of New York. It’s like in Iowa, everything was so sedate and like ‘go with the flow’-y and my mind was always going. It’s like now my surroundings match my head and it’s a lot easier to feel…normal.”


“You’re not normal,” Tara replied and pulled the redhead to her, “You’re super special.”


Willow smiled bashfully and their lips met again, gently caressing each other in a kiss that slowly built in passion. After several minutes, the blonde pulled away and looked at her girlfriend with a quirked eyebrow.


“You ready to ride, cowgirl?”
