The reunion of Tara and Donnie brought tears to Willow’s eyes. When he’d told Tara he wanted to get clean, Tara had cried and hugged Donnie about ten times. On the way back, Donnie and Willow had told Tara the story of what had happened. When Willow had gotten to the part where one of the punks had hit her Tara made an empathetic face and gently caressed Willow’s cheek. She then turned to Donnie and mouthed the words “thank you.”
They had finally rounded up Ted and Martha and were now in Tara and Martha’s apartment. “Wow, didn’t realized I caused such a fuss.” Willow said trying to laugh off what could have been a very bad situation. The ice pack on her face attested to that. She didn’t want to go to the hospital so Tara had cleaned her up the best she could and put a couple of small band-aids on the cut. Then Tara properly chastised her for going off alone. But she let up when she remembered why Willow took off.
“Thank you, guys.” She finally said with a warm smile. “Well, I better get going,” said Ted. “Willow, stay out of dark alleys, okay?” Willow could hear his concern underneath the joking tone. She hugged him tightly and promised to call him tomorrow.
Martha took that as her cue to go on to bed. Willow gave her a hug as well and thanked her. “It was nothing, blondie was out of her mind with worry though.” Willow looked at Tara and something passed between them. Something that would echo between the two for all of their years. “Donnie, you can take my bed tonight. I’ll be over at Willow’s if you need anything, okay?” Donnie smiled at Willow and gave her a thumbs up when Tara wasn’t looking. Willow winked at him.
“And you, you come with me.” Tara playfully grabbed Willow’s belt loop and started pulling her to the door. Donnie followed them to the door and gave Tara her keys and then locked the door behind the two girls. He shook his head in disbelief at the events of the evening, turned off the lights and went to bed having the best sleep he’d had in four years.
….
As soon as Willow had let Tara in and shut the door, Tara had her up against the door. “I could have lost you tonight, you idiot!” Before Willow could say anything, Tara’s lips were on hers in a soul-searching kiss. Willow returned the kiss with equal intensity. They finally broke apart breathless, dazed with chests heaving. Tara’s hands went up into Willow’s hair and then her right hand trailed gently down Willow’s face to her neck.
Willow was about to speak but Tara put her index finger gently on her lips. “I was on a date tonight, with a great guy.” Willow started to drop her head. She didn’t want to hear this. Tara lifted her chin with her finger so Willow would look at her. “Listen to me. He was sweet, smart, cute, and he liked me. He wasn’t you. Do you understand what I’m saying? He wasn’t you, Willow. He wasn’t you….” Tara let the words fall silent as she kissed Willow again. She moved to her ear and whispered, “It has always been you.”
Willow’s mind was swirling. She felt like she was in a dream. When Tara had said it had always been her, she had felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. Willow slowly encircled Tara with her arms and laid her head on Tara’s shoulder. She’d waited so long to be here like this with her. After a beat, Willow looked at Tara with searching eyes. “I am so deeply in love with you Tara Maclay. I want to show you how much. Please let me tonight.” Tara’s answer was taking Willow’s hand as they headed to the bedroom and closed the door.
Tara began to slip out of her dress but Willow stopped her. “Let me look at you.” Willow slowly circled Tara’s body. When she reached the front of her again she put one hand in Tara’s hair and brought their lips together. She slowly parted her lips and slipped her tongue into Tara’s mouth. Tara groaned with pleasure as she wrapped her hands around Willow’s hips. Willow then moved her lips to Tara’s eyes, her cheeks, her chin. As she lightly suckled on her neck, she reached around and unzipped her dress. It was still slightly damp from the rain and Tara’s shoulders and arms started forming goosebumps. Willow removed the straps from Tara’s shoulders and let the dress fall to the floor.
Willow’s fingers gently trailed up from Tara’s forearms to her collarbones. She then planted kisses on both as she removed Tara’s bra. Willow stood back and appreciated Tara’s partially naked body. “So beautiful,” Willow whispered as she looked into Tara’s eyes. The love she saw mirrored in them made her heart swell.
Tara closed the short distance between them and slowly removed Willow’s damp tanktop and marveled at the beautiful lightly freckled skin. She lightly traced the outline of Willow’s breasts through her bra. “Take it off,” Willow told her in a voice barely audible. Tara glanced up at Willow’s eyes before removing her bra. She looked back into Willow’s eyes as the bra slid off. “Don’t be shy. Look at them.” That was all Tara needed. She grazed a nipple with her fingertip every so softly. Watching Willow shudder with pleasure was something Tara could definitely get used to. And boy did she plan to.
Willow gently took Tara’s hands and looked at her. “Listen Tara, I know this is your first time. I will only go as far and as fast as you want. Understand?” Tara nodded and told Willow this: “I love you and I trust you with all of my heart, Willow Rosenberg. I want you to show me everything.” At that, Willow laid Tara down on the bed and settled on the side of her. She gently caressed Tara’s nipples as she watched Tara’s eyes close in utter pleasure. She then rested her hand momentarily to feel Tara’s heart beating as fast as she imagined her was.
Tara covered Willow’s hand with hers and turned her head to look Willow straight in the eyes. “Willow I… God…” Tara closed her eyes and a single tear slide down her cheek. Willow caught it with her finger and kissed it. “Tell me baby…” Willow said. Tara’s mind was reeling. But her body knew exactly what it wanted. Tara turned her body toward Willow’s and pushed her shoulder down so Willow was now lying on her back. Tara then slid onto Willow’s body and straddled her. She put her arms on either side of Willow’s head and bent down to bury her head into her neck. She lightly bit and sucked at her neck and then moved to her lips. Tara’s tongue forced it’s way into Willow’s mouth. Willow grabbed the back of Tara’s head, pushing their lips ever closer. Willow brought her shoulders off the bed and covered Tara’s right breast with her hand. She kneaded it not completely all that gentle. Tara moaned in her mouth.
Tara’s hips started to rock against Willow’s stomach. What started out as a slow exploration was turning into an insistent need that both of them had held back on for so long. Willow was out of her mind with need. She broke the kiss and looked Tara in the eyes. “I want to be inside you.” Tara nodded and gave Willow the sexiest smile she’d ever seen. Tara had risen off of Willow to take off the last of her clothing and quickly helped Willow do the same.
Tara retook her position straddling Willow as Willow sat up. With Tara now in her lap she trailed a hand down Tara’s quivering chest down her stomach and to her soft curls. Tara sucked in a sharp breath when she felt Willow’s hand blaze a path past her curls and into her soft, wet, swollen folds. Tara’s forearms were resting on Willow’s shoulders and her head was bent so her mouth was right above Willow’s ear.
Willow could hear Tara’s ragged, heavy breath. Little moans were escaping her every few seconds. Willow pressed her face into Tara’s upper chest. As she began to enter her with a single finger, slowly she bent her head further and took a nipple into her mouth. Tara’s moans were coming louder now. She was so wet, Willow had no problem penetrating her. She paused at one point to make sure Tara was comfortable and her finger wasn’t hurting her. Tara breathlessly shook her head no and pleaded for Willow to continue. Willow took Tara’s nipple again and sucked as she drove her finger a little deeper.
Tara’s moans were turning into tight, high squeals now as she was softly rocking her hips to Willow’s rhythm. Tara brought one of her arms down from Willow’s shoulder and grabbed Willow’s hand that was around her. “Show me where to touch you.” Asked Tara. Willow guided Tara’s hand between their wet bodies to her center and brought her fingers to her clit. Tara needed no more prompting as she slid her fingers through the sopping folds and picked up the same rhythm as her own hips. Willow let out a loud moan as Tara’s finger moved against her clit.
“Willow… ahhahh,’ Tara’s voice was unsteady and barely audible. Her hips had begun moving faster and Willow could tell she was very close. She was too. Willow removed her lips from Tara’s nipple and she tilted her head up so that they were touching foreheads. Both of them were covered in a light sweat now. Tara’s moans were becoming very loud. They were both on the edge and Willow’s soft grunts were becoming louder as well. Tara began to convulse around Willow’s finger signaling the beginning of her orgasm. Just as Tara began to cry out Willow covered her mouth with a deep kiss. Tara began bucking wildly against Willow as she cradled Willow’s head with one hand and deepened their kiss.
When their convulsions finally subsided Willow held Tara tightly while she planted sweet kisses all over her face. Tara pulled her head away and momentarily and gave Willow a happy, satiated smile. Willow leaned back, taking Tara with her and they lay that way until they both fell asleep.
Epilogue- 1 year later….
“When did you know?” Asked Willow as she filled Tara’s champagne glass.
“Know what?” asked Tara innocently.
“When did you know you’d fallen love with me? What was the very moment?” prodded Willow.
“Wow. Um.. that is a hard one. I was in such denial, as you know. But in looking back, the one moment that stands out in my mind was when you brought me soup when I was sick and you tasted it to make sure it wasn’t too hot. In that moment, subconsciously, I stopped searching. I knew love had found me. I just didn’t want to admit it.”
Willow regarded her quietly. She smiled and then said, “really?”
“Does it surprise you?” asked Tara.
“No.”
“Upset you? I told you I was so clueless as to what was happening!” Tara exclaimed.
“No, you haven’t upset me in the least.” Willow grabbed her hand tightly.
“It’s just interesting how our hearts know so much sooner than our brains.”
“Yes, and only when the two get it together and figure it do you have love.” Added Tara. She looked at Willow. “Hey! When was your moment?”
“What moment?” Teased Willow.
Tara nudged her.
“When I caught you in the hallway, when you came to see Martha about the room. The night you came over and watched the movie with Ted and I.”
“Really? I’d only seen you like three times!” marveled Tara.
“I know. I just had this need to get to that door and call your name. When you turned around, I knew. I knew love had found me.”
They both turned their attention to the groom who was about to give a toast. “When I met Kacie, I knew my life as I knew it would be over. Love does funny things to you. It makes you cry. It makes you crazy. It makes you hurt. It also makes you do things you think you can’t at times, like forgive, change, fight, survive. It was no accident that Kacie and I met and fell in love. I’m convinced of that. We fought hard to make it work.” He turns to Kacie smiles and grabs her hand. “We made it baby. We have the rest of our lives to prove it.”
“As do we,” Tara added quietly to Willow as she took her hand. As people stood up to applaud and congratulate the newly married couple, Willow and Tara slipped out of the reception hall and headed for their apartment. They had some proving to do.
