Chapter 10 (11,089 words)

 

Buffy walked into her hotel room with a smile on her face.  ?I can?t get
that picture out of my head,? she thought, restraining herself from breaking
into giggles once again.  ?Xander was so shocked!  I almost thought he was
gonna freeze with that look on his face!?

 

?Buffy?s back!? Willow?s voice brought the slayer back to the here and now.


 

She glanced over to see the redhead set her laptop aside and then bounce up
off the couch, skipping across the room to leap into Buffy?s arms.  

 

By the time they ended their kiss, Tara was there with her arms wrapped
around both of them.  ?I so love my new super-slayer strength,? Buffy
thought as she effortlessly held Willow up with one arm and wrapped her
other around Tara--all while deeply kissing the blonde witch.

 

?Didja have fun?? Willow asked excitedly.  ?Were the strippers hot?  Didja
get a lapdance?? 

 

?I got a cheeseburger, no lapdance,? Buffy said bemusedly.

 

?They serve cheeseburgers at the stripclub?? Tara said, wrinkling her nose
in apparent distaste.

 

?Or, is that strip-club slang for some kind of special sexy dance?? Willow
asked with a wide grin.

 

?Eww, no!? Buffy answered Tara?s question.  Then after a slight shudder
added, ?At least I hope not!?  Then she turned to Willow and said, ?Not a
dance that I know of--we just didn?t stay at the Club for more than a couple
seconds before we decided to go get food instead.?

 

?How come?? Willow asked as she dropped back down to her feet.

 

?It was just...well...icky,? Buffy explained.

 

?How come?? Willow again prompted with a frown.  ?What could be icky about
sexy naked girls?  Were they not sexy??

 

?Oh, they were...ok, I guess.  There was a lot of, um...surgical
enhancement, if you know what I mean.?

 

?Lots of silicone?? Tara asked with a wry smile.

 

?Oh yeah!? Buffy agreed emphatically.  ?Plus, none of them were nearly as
hot as you two!?

 

?Aw, that?s sweet,? Willow gushed, reaching out to stroke Buffy?s cheek.

 

?So why was it icky?? Tara asked.

 

?Oh, well...it kinda stunk--too much cigarette smoke, and too many sweaty,
horny men,? Buffy further explained.

 

Tara again wrinkled her nose, the disgust clearly displayed on her face.

 

?Xan was cool with bailing?? Willow asked as she turned and lead the way
over to the couch.

 

?Totally,? Buffy answered.  ?He said he?d never been to one of those placed
anyway...plus he said the strippers weren?t as hot as Dawn,? she finished in
a mumble.

 

?I can believe that!? Willow exclaimed, causing Buffy to narrow her eyes.

 

She glanced over at her other witchy lover to see her rolling her eyes with
apparent tolerant exasperation.

 

?So, what did you guys do--besides eat I mean.?  Tara asked, sitting next to
Willow and snuggling up to her side.

 

Buffy dropped down on Willow?s other side as she answered.  ?Actually, we
just talked--about all kinds of stuff.?  She smiled as she remembered some of
the conversation.  ?It was nice, mostly.?

 

?Mostly?? Willow prompted.

 

?Well, we talked about you,? Buffy started, gulping past a sudden knot of
nervousness in her throat.

 

?Me?? Willow asked, looking surprised.  ?What about me?? 

 

Buffy turned so that she was sitting sideways on the couch, facing her two
lovers.  ?Well, actually, we talked about you and Xan and Dawn,? Buffy
answered quietly.

 

?Buf...Mistress, nothing happened!  Please believe me, I would never--?
Willow immediately began to protest.

 

?I know, pet,? Buffy interjected.  ?I know.?  She took a deep breath and
held it for a moment before exhaling sharply.  ?But...you wanted to--you
wanted something to happen, didn?t you??

 

?No, not really,? Willow disputed.

 

Buffy raised one eyebrow disbelievingly.

 

?I mean, yes, I?m very attracted to them, and yes I have feelings for them,?
Willow started to explain.

 

?Again, say hello to the pain,? Buffy thought.  ?Tara doesn?t look as sad as
I would think...? she wondered as her eyes darted to her blond lover

 

?And yes, the idea of making love to Xander and Dawn gives me warm happy
thoughts,? Willow went on quickly.  ?But--it doesn?t mean that I?ve somehow
stopped loving you and Tara--you?re still the two most important people in my
life and you always will be.  Mistress, I belong to you--I would never betray
you, please believe me.?

 

?Ok, now I feel guilty--even though she just admitted that she wants to be
with them,? Buffy thought--her feelings confused.

 

Turning to look at her other lover, Willow continued, ?Please, Lady Tara,
please say you believe me.?

 

?Shh, sweetie, of course I believe you,? Tara said reassuringly.

 

?Mistress?? Willow asked with a pleading voice as she turned back to Buffy.

 

?I believe you, pet...it?s just, I?m...?  she trailed off.  ?I don?t know
what I am,? she realized.

 

?Jealous?? Tara asked softly.

 

?God, is that it?? Buffy wondered to herself.  ?Do you love them?? she
asked, avoiding the jealousy question for the moment.

 

?I?ve always loved Xander,? Willow answered.  ?I don?t think I ever really
stopped.  ?I?m not exactly sure when I started loving Dawn as more than your
little sister--it kinda snuck up on me.?

 

?Probably about the time she started wearing a C-cup,? Tara interjected.

 

?Tara!? Willow?s voice chimed in harmony with Buffy?s own protest.

 

Tara laughed melodiously.  ?I guess I?ve just had longer to get used to the
fact that Willow loves more people than just me.?

 

?Oh,? Buffy huffed, deflated somewhat.  ?She knew Willow loved me way before
the three of us were the three of us--when it was still the two of them and I
was with Riley.?

 

?Wait a minute,? Buffy said with a sudden frown.  ?You?re not thinking of
inviting the two of them...?  

 

Tara laughed out loud at that.  ?No, no.?  she said shaking her head.?  

 

Buffy gave Willow a nudge and a, ?Hey!? to Willow when she noticed the
glazed eyes and dopy smile.

 

?You were having sexy thoughts about the five of us!? Buffy complained with
a pout.

 

?Sorry,? Willow said, looking only somewhat contrite.

 

?I can certainly see the attraction to Dawn,? Tara began.

 

?Tara!? Buffy immediately interjected.

 

?You said it yourself, Buffy--your sister?s a hottie,? Tara replied.

 

?You did?? Willow asked with an excited grin.

 

?However,? Tara loudly interrupted before Buffy could protest.  ?I?m not
really interested in sleeping with her.  And, as much as I like Xander--I
have absolutely no interest in sex with any man, ever.?

 

?Me neither,? Buffy agreed heartily.

 

?Since when?? Willow queried with a frown, even as Tara raised her brows in
disbelief.

 

Buffy looked down sheepishly.  ?Xander was teasing me about how he wanted to
see me get a lap dance...and I thought, ?I wouldn?t hate that.??  

 

She glanced up through her lashes to see matching grins on her lovers?
faces.

 

?I kinda told myself that I wasn?t interested in other girls--just you two
cause you were special--which you totally are, but I realized that I think
other girls are nice to look at too.?  

 

Willow smiled even more broadly, while Tara donned an arch look, but
couldn?t entirely hide her grin.  

 

Buffy could feel her face grow slightly warm as she continued, ?And then, a
little later when we were talking about how he felt about you, Wil, he said
something about how he had been so into me back in high school and I
thought, ?I must have always been gay, how else can I explain not falling in
love with him??

 

?Wow!? Willow sighed.

 

Buffy again glanced up to see wonder on Willow?s face, and a serene sort of
understanding on Tara?s.  

 

?He really is a great guy, I mean, for a guy and all,? Tara said, finishing
off with a tiny smirk.

 

?Yeah,? Willow agreed dreamily.

 

?I know,? Buffy concurred.  ?He died for Dawn--how many guys would die for
their girlfriend?  I don?t think men get much better than that.?

 

?I?m so glad we don?t have to worry about him dying anymore,? Willow said
with a sniffle.  ?I don?t think I could handle it if he hadn?t come back.
It would have been almost like losing one of you two.?

 

?I?m glad he came back too,? Tara added quietly.  ?He and Giles are pretty
much the only two decent men I know.?

 

?Hey,? Buffy interjected--shaking off the sadness of the thought of dead
Xander.  ?How come you didn?t tell me you didn?t tell him they?re immortal??

 

?Huh?? Willow said, her nose scrunched up in confusion.

 

?I almost broke him when I mentioned it,? Buffy explained with a reminiscent
grin.  ?He just froze--staring into space--for like five minutes.  He even had
food in his hand and still just sat there...staring.?

 

Willow and Tara both started giggling at that.

 

?Poor Xander,? Tara snickered.

 

?He should be happy!? Willow protested, still laughing.  ?Oh, and plus--now
we?ll have company!?

 

Buffy frowned as Willow?s comment sank into her mind.  ?Whaddya mean, Wil??

 

Willow answered in an offhand voice, as though it was unimportant, ?Oh, well
I made us immortal too.?

 

===== BtVS =====

 

Xander entered his hotel room lost in thought.

 

His musings were cut off even before the door finished closing behind him
when Dawn leapt into his arms, her legs around his waist and her tongue in
his mouth.

 

?Didja have fun?? she asked after kissing him senseless.  ?Did they get you
all hot and bothered??

 

?Who...what?? he asked, confused.

 

?Duh, the strippers?? Dawn teased.  ?Either they were so hot they melted
your brain, or so lame you forgot them already.?

 

?Oh, right, naked girls,? Xander replied with a headshake.  ?We didn?t go to
the strip club.  Well, we went but we didn?t stay,? he explained.

 

Dawn loosened her grip around his waist and dropped back down to the floor.
?How come?? she queried as she took his hand and pulled him over to the
couch.

 

He couldn?t help but smile as she pushed him down on the couch and
immediately straddled his lap, laying her body up against his and snuggling
her head into the crook of his neck.  ?God I love this girl!? the thought
popped into his head.

 

«That?s good, ?cause she loves you too!» her warm reply filled his mind.
«now make with the details.»

 

?Well, we went in, and it was all smoky and, well...it stank.  Like BO, if
you know what I mean,? he began.  ?Plus, the girls were all,
um...augmented...and we both thought that none of them were nearly as hot as
our own girls, so...?

 

Dawn laughed.

 

?Though, Buffy did say she wouldn?t mind seeing Willow up on one of the
poles,? he added with a teasing grin.  ?I told her I wouldn?t mind seeing
Wil giving the Buffster a lap-dance.?

 

?Mmm, I?d rather watch her give you one,? Dawn purred.

 

?I?ve already imagined her giving you a lap dance, at least to start with,?
he replied suggestively.

 

?Oh,? she exhaled loudly.  ?I wouldn?t say no to that...?

 

?Nice mental image!? he thought as such a scene once again ran though his
imagination.

 

«God, Xander!» her lust-filled thoughts pounded into his brain.  ?Like I
wasn?t already soaking my panties!? she added aloud as she jerked away from
him and undid her pants.  

 

?So hot!? he breathed out, mesmerized by her as she quickly toed off her
shoes and dropped her pants and panties to the floor.  Before he could
react, she unbuckled his belt and unzipped his pants, roughly pulling out
his erection and climbing onto him.

 

?So good!? she groaned out noisily as she sank down onto him.

 

?Damn right!? he agreed vehemently.  ?Warm, wet, perfect!? he thought, his
head falling back on the couch.  

 

?Lay back and enjoy, sugar-bear,? she instructed him.  ?Let your kitten do
all the work.?

 

?Mmph,? he whined, his whole body tingling as she rapidly bounced up and
down on his cock.  ?Shirt...off?? he half-instructed, half-begged.

 

?Oh, you wanna see my boobies bouncing up and down while I ride your big,
fat dick?? she taunted him with her little-girl voice.

 

His cock throbbed, growing impossibly harder at her dirty-talk.  ?Please??
he begged, reduced to a monosyllabic whimper.

 

?Anything for you, sugar-bear!? she said in a low, sexy voice.  

 

?So beautiful, so sexy!? he thought as she pulled her shirt up over her head
and tossed it aside.  His eyes roamed her body from the point of their
joining, up her taut, sexy belly, stopping for a moment to ogle her bouncing
chest before continuing up to see the sultry smirk on her pouty lips.

 

?Like what you see?? she teased, running her hands up her body and into her
hair as she arched her back, making her breasts even more prominent.

 

?Yes!  Love everything I see,? he grunted out.  ?Love you Dawn!?  Unable to
remain passive, he grabbed her hips and began to slam his pelvis upward to
meet her downward strokes, nearly doubling their tempo.

 

?Yes!? Dawn screamed.  ?God, yes!  Just like that!  Just like that, don?t
stop!?

 

Through slitted eyes, Xander saw the now familiar green flame appear as
though bursting forth from Dawn?s flesh, rapidly moving to cover both their
bodies.

 

?Dawn!? he shouted suddenly.  Usually he could control his orgasm but the
feeling of the flames running across his skin caused him to explode inside
her.

 

He was about to apologize for his premature release when he saw her eyes
roll back and her body start to shudder.  ?This time she got caught in
mine,? he thought happily.  

 

They both groaned in unison when the green flames sunk down into their
flesh.

 

?Oh yeah,? she groaned as she collapsed against him.

 

?Hey, I?m naked!? Xander observed, astonished by the fact.

 

?Hmm, this is bad how?? Dawn hummed lazily as she snuggled against his
chest.

 

?Oh, not bad I guess,? he allowed, enjoying the skin-on-skin contact with
his lover.  ?Just, you know, they were there when we started...?

 

?That?s true,? Dawn agreed, pushing herself upright, while keeping him
inside of her.  ?Wow, it?s like they burned right off of you,? she said as
she reached down and slid her hand between the couch and his butt.  ?But the
couch is fine...weird.?

 

?Gah!? Xander shouted in surprise as she took the opportunity to give him a
pinch on the ass.  ?Evil woman,? he complained with absolutely no rancor.

 

?You love it and you know it,? she remonstrated.  

 

He couldn?t keep the smile off of her face.  ?I can?t argue with that.  I
love everything about you.?

 

Her answering smile lit up the room.

 

She snuggled back down against him and said, ?So, if you guys didn?t check
out the silicone sexpots, what did you do??

 

Before he could answer, she immediately interjected, ?Wait; don?t tell
me--you guys hit the buffet, right??

 

?Close,? he agreed with a chuckle.  ?We found an off-strip café where they
didn?t even have a single slot machine.  We had a nice quiet dinner and
actually talked.?

 

?Mmm, sounds nice,? she said softly.  ?What did you talk about??

 

?Well, among other things, she asked me about you and me and Willow,? he
answered.

 

?Uh oh...was she pissed?? she asked with trepidation.

 

?Surprisingly not,? he said, shaking his head.

 

?Really?? she asked, sounding genuinely surprised.  ?The queen of denial
actually broached a sensitive emotional subject without her normal
rage-response??

 

?Whoa, issues much Dawn?? he thought.

 

«Nah, not really,» she thought back to him.  Aloud she added, ?Mostly
annoyed by her issues.?

 

?Well, she was relatively issue-free,? he replied.

 

?Relatively?? Dawn prompted.

 

?I think she was a little worried about Willow having feelings for us, and
vice versa,? Xander explained.  ?Especially now that--as she put it--?Ms.
Hetero all the way? is putting eyes on her Willow.?

 

?I guess I can kinda understand that,? Dawn said after a moment?s pause.
?But, on the other hand, that?s really pretty dumb.  She owns Willow.  She
can?t really believe that Willow would betray her, even if she thought we
would do that to her--which we wouldn?t.?

 

?That?s pretty much what I told her,? he agreed.  Mulling it over for
several moments, he then added, ?I think...maybe she just wanted to hear me
say it, you know?  So it was out in the open??

 

?Which, the ?you liking Willow? part, or the ?You wouldn?t try and take her
away even if you could? part?? she asked.

 

?Both,? he immediately replied.  ?The ?*We* want Willow,? and the ?*We*
wouldn?t steal her even if *we* could.??

 

?We want Willow,? Dawn echoed with a giggle.  ?Very alliterative; we should
have shirts made up...maybe a website.?

 

?Yeah, I?m sure your sister would find that very reassuring,? Xander
chuckled.

 

?Plus, Tara would probably turn us into toads,? Dawn added, giggling even
harder.

 

?Immortal toads,? he said with a frown of disgust.  ?Talk about cruel and
unusual punishment.?

 

?Immortal?  Where did that come from?? Dawn asked.  

 

?Ah, yes,? Xander said, his feelings of turmoil returning from when he?d
initially walked into the room.  ?Buffy dropped that little bombshell on me
after we finished talking about Willow.?  

 

Dawn pushed away to look him in the eye.  ?What bombshell?? she demanded.
?What are you talking about??

 

?Willow didn?t read us the fine print,? he answered.  ?Apparently; along
with the healing thing we have now, there?s a whole ?never gonna die? thing
too.?

 

?We?re immortal?? she asked with a quiet, awed voice.

 

?Apparently,? he sighed.  ?Still not sure how I feel about that,? he
thought.  ?How do you feel about that?? 

 

?Are you kidding?? Dawn asked as a joyous smile grew on her face.  ?No
growing old, no breaking down, and keeping this body forever?? she said,
gesturing at her naked form.  ?What?s not to love??

 

?I dunno,? Xander said hesitantly.  ?Don?t you worry that it?s gonna be a
little lonely, maybe?  Seeing everyone we love grow old and die??

 

?I could see that sucking if it was just one of us--but we?ll have each
other,? she corrected him.  ?Plus, you know Willow is going to figure out
that thing Sarah did--what with the being all in tune with the earth so that
she stops aging thing; and once she does, she?ll totally fix it for Tara and
Buffy so they stop aging too.?

 

?I didn?t think of that...? he mused.

 

She leaned in and softly kissed him for several moments.  «We?re going to
have a great life, Xan,» she thought to him as she kissed him.  «We?re going
to have tons of amazing sex, and we?re going to have awesome friends that
will be with us forever!»

 

?You?re right,? he realized.  ?We are going to have a great life!?
