Where The Wild Things Are


Xander Harris snuck past the cemetery where Buffy and Riley were fighting the usual vampires and demons. He stopped suddenly as he watched Buffy fight a demon in the open only about five steps away from him right on the edge of the cemetery. Xander knew he should go and help her but that would lead to questions as to why he was out at this time of night by himself. You see Xander had a secret, a big secret. A year ago he wouldn’t have been able to keep his secret for long because Willow would know that he was hiding something and bug him until he told them. However, now that Willow and Buffy were at college and he wasn’t, they had drifted apart. He didn’t see them that much and when he did they seemed preoccupied. It didn’t bother him anymore because now he was preoccupied too and he liked having a secret, something only he and one very special person knew about. Well, Anya knew too, after she had dropped her clothes in front of him and he hadn’t reacted, it was kinda a big give away. But she had left Sunnydale so he knew his secret wouldn’t be revealed by her.

Buffy stabbed the demon in the back effectively killing it. She wiped her hands and then ran further into the cemetery to help Riley. Xander heaved a big sigh of relief knowing that his secret was safe for at least one more day. He snuck out from behind a tree and ran past the gates to the cemetery before heading off to the UC Sunnydale campus. He was already late and he didn’t want to be worried about. Xander finally made it onto the campus wiping sweaty palms on his jeans. He always found he was nervous when he was this close but Xander knew as soon as he walked into the room he would be fine and everything would be right again in the world.

Xander made his way to Lowell House keeping a wary eye out for any vamps wandering the campus looking for a tasty snack. He made it without incident and after letting himself into the building making sure no one was around he made his way up the stairs. Xander stopped at the second door at the top and without knocking he slipped into the room and locked the door behind himself.

“Hi babe,” Graham greeted him from where he was sprawled across the big bed on his stomach dressed only in low-riding pyjama pants that accentuated the swell of his ass. Xander smiled. This secret was worth keeping.

Graham woke up in the middle of the night with Xander sprawled across him. Graham smiled and kissed Xander’s shoulder, he should probably wake Xander up and escort him back to his place before it got light and the rest of the residences woke up but Graham just couldn’t bear to wake Xander from his rest. Graham knew that if any of his fellow soldiers found out about this he would be facing a dishonourable discharge but some day’s Graham just didn’t even care. Xander was the best thing that had ever happened to him and he didn’t want to let it go. Graham carefully manoeuvred out from under Xander and slid off the bed before sliding into some pants. He took another look at Xander’s nude body tangled up in the sheets and felt his cock stir. Graham quickly turned away knowing that he needed to relieve himself first. He walked out the door and closed it quietly taking in the seemingly abandoned house as all its occupants bar him were asleep. Graham jumped as he heard a rattling noise and he quickly looked around following the noise that seemed so loud in the quiet building. Graham slowly walked through the dark halls towards the bathroom deciding that he must have imagined the noise. It was quite creepy at this time of night and Graham couldn’t help but feel himself tense up. He had seen many weird things since joining the initiative and had developed a sixth sense. That sense was now screaming out to him but he ignored it and walked into the bathroom. He could hear a noise and Graham quickly turned on the light trying to see what was there. It was coming from the bathtub. He approached it slowly waiting for a vampire to jump out at any second. Carefully he yanked back the shower curtain to reveal an empty bathtub with a leaking faucet. Graham berated himself for acting like such a girl and getting spooked as he shut off the tap and then went about his business.

Graham sneaked back into his room and smiled back at the sleepy smile he received from the bed. Xander yawned widely before speaking.

“I suppose I’d better get going, don’t want anyone to see me and I’ve got an early start anyway.” Xander slide off the bed but Graham grabbed him by the arm and pulled him in to his hard body. Before replying Graham just sniffed Xander’s neck and then gently nibbled on Xander’s earlobe knowing that it drove the younger man crazy.

“You don’t have to go right now, we’ve got time.” Graham tried to convince Xander. Xander wanted to be convinced but he also knew that he should give a token protest because the later he left here the more likely it was that they’d get caught.

“We can’t, others will be stirring,” the last part came out as a moan. Graham was not making it easy. He was currently toying with a nipple as his tongue laved Xander’s neck.

“C’mon Xander, I can feel something else stirring. Just stop worrying it will be fine.” Graham pushed an unresisting Xander back to the bed and followed him down. Xander arched up pulling Gray’s head down so that he could nibble on that bottom lip. He could not get enough of this man as he felt himself grow hard again. Graham was the best thing that had ever happened in Xander’s life and he was scared that he would lose it. As long as their relationship was a secret they were safe. Graham sensed Xander’s desperation and rolled them over so that Xan was on top.

“What do you want baby? What do you need?” Graham panted into the ear above him as the two sweaty bodies continued to thrust together unable to slow down.

“Please Gray, I need to feel you, need to ride that fat sweet cock. Gotta, gotta have it.” Graham was just as desperate as Xander but he had enough presence of mind to grab the lube and condoms off the bed side table where they had been discarded earlier. Xander leant down to trace Graham’s collarbone as he felt those fantastic thick fingers trace down his crack. Xander loved knowing that these fingers were the only ones that had touched him there. That this cock had been the only one to breach him was incredibly hot. There was no doubt that Graham was the more experienced of this couple but neither of them minded at all. Graham couldn’t stand it anymore. He wanted Xander, needed him, now! He tore open the condom packaging and deftly rolled it onto his cock. Xander knelt up over the gorgeous body below him with Graham steadying him and positioned himself so that the tip of Gray’s cock was kissing his entrance. Graham groaned in frustration

“Don’t tease, please Xan,” he begged. Xander smiled down at his lover seductively before he pushed down impaling himself fully onto Graham.

Forest and Riley met each other in the hallway on their way down to the living area. It was freezing and it had woken them both up.

“Didn't we just get the furnace fixed? It's freezing!” Forrest exclaimed shaking though he was rugged up something fierce.

“I'll call in the AM, get somebody to come…” Riley began but stopped as they both heard a noise. As one they turned and walked over to Graham door. Listening at the door they heard noises that had been going on for a couple of months. Rhythmic moaning could not be mistaken for anything other than what it actually was.

“Oh, you gotta be kidding me. When do these two come up for air?” Forrest asked jealous that Graham was obviously getting way more than he was at the moment.

“Slaves to the rhythm.” Riley smiled before becoming more serious. “I just wish he’d stop hiding. It’s been going on for months. When’s he going to tell us he has a girlfriend and let us meet her?”

“Maybe he’ll bring her to the party tonight.” Forrest replied as they made their way downstairs.

“And if he doesn’t?”

“Then maybe its time we confronted him, catch them together. Sometimes Graham is too private for his own good.

In Graham’s room the occupants were too wrapped up in each other to know that they were being talked about in the hall. Xander was teasing Graham by slowly raising himself up then falling down quickly. Graham was moaning on the bed, not taking his eyes off Xander’s but playing with Xan’s nipples knowing how hot it got the younger man. Neither of them were going to last very long as their passion grew.

Downstairs of the main building Riley and Forrest continued walking down the stairs at the bottom Mason was putting wood on the fire in the fireplace.

“Room shoulda warmed up by now.” Forrest commented looking at the fire.

“I have been building this thing for an hour. It's still an icebox in here.”

“Don't bother, Mason, we got a couple of heat generators pumpin' away upstairs.” Riley joked knowing that all the boys knew that Graham was getting some even if the identity of the girl was a complete mystery. Mason just looked up and grinned. Suddenly flames explode out of the fireplace. Mason flinched but could not move as they came straight at him.

“Jeez!” Riley exclaimed and Mason screamed in pain as his sleeve and the front of his shirt caught on fire. Forrest worked quickly grabbing a banner and using it to extinguish the flames on Mason.

“Call a medic. Get help!” Forrest called out franticly which unfroze Riley who ran into the kitchen to the phone. Forrest sat there holding Mason and he glanced to the fire place where there is hardly any flame.

Upstairs, Xander fell down on top of Graham, sated. A limp cock still up his ass for the moment. Slowly he rolled off and let Graham dispose of the condom.

“Wow, that was intense,” Xander remarked as he continued to try to get his breath back.

“Yeah babe, it was,” Gray laughed high on endorphins snuggling up to his lover.

“I’d better get going though,” Xander told him reluctantly. “I’ll be back tonight for the big party and I should be able to sneak up here at the end without anyone noticing.”

“Good, I hate the thought of you wandering around outside in the dark to come see me or get back home again.” Xander turned to smile at him, happy that for once someone cared about him enough to worry.

“I’m fine. I grew up here I can handle myself.” Xander kissed Grahams cheek before slipping out of bed. Quickly slipping on his clothes Xander opened the door a fraction and peered out before turning back round to Graham. “I’ll see you tonight.” Then he was gone slipping out before anyone could see him. Back to his basement but with a smile on his face of his honey that he has just left.

Xander walked up to Lowell House aware that he was not supposed to know his way around the dorm. Even if he did slip up he didn’t think that his friends would notice. They were too caught up in their own lives to really pay attention to him anymore. He made his way inside looking around for Buffy, Willow and Tara. The place was packed and Xander couldn’t help himself looking around to see if he could spy Graham. They weren’t supposed to know each other. Only officially meeting each other a couple of times because of Riley and Buffy’s relationship. They had hit it off straight away and knew that the other one was hiding something from their friends. After a few nights of pool and beers they both admitted there feelings. They’d been secretly dating ever since. Finally something in Xander life was going right but nobody around him noticed. The girls were much too self-involved with college and Xander wasn’t that big a part of their lives anymore.

“Xander! Xander!” Willow yelled out Xander’s name and he turned to face her. Buffy and Tara at her side.

“Hey girls,” he smiled at them glad to see them. They soon turned back to whatever conversation they’d been having before he had turned up. Xander found himself searching the crowd not listening to the girls prattle on about classes. Then he spotted what he was looking for. Graham. The older man was standing near the steps beer in hand amongst his military buddies but he wasn’t paying attention to them. He’d spotted Xander as soon as he stepped through the door because he’d been watching it, waiting for Xander. All Graham could think about was how magnificent Xander had been last night, riding him. He wondered how soon he could get Xander back up into his room. How soon he could get that cock up his ass. Graham felt himself harden. Deciding he had had enough he gestured subtly at Xander to meet him upstairs. After making his escape Graham made it to his room knowing Xander would be there as soon as he could. He knows it’s risky in the middle of the party. They could easily get caught but he just needs Xander so badly he doesn’t care. If they did get caught at least the secrecy and lies would be over.

Xander snuck into Grahams room again sure that no one had seen him. Locking the door he smiled at the sight of Graham naked on his bed slowly stroking his cock. Xander felt his mouth go dry as his cock sprang to life. He couldn’t help the groan that slipped from his mouth.

“Hurry up, will you Xan? You have too many clothes on.” Graham grabbed the lube and condoms off the table and threw one at Xander. “I need you.” Xander laughed as he quickly stripped.

“I can see that.” The last word turned into a groan as Graham spread his legs wide and slid one finger into himself.

“Oh god.” Xander could not look away from the delicious sight of Graham getting himself ready for him. Graham writhed on the bed making himself feel good and putting on a show for his lover. Finally it got too much and Xander jumped on the bed. Within seconds he had the condom on himself and had removed Grahams hand from his puckered opening. Soon Xander was sliding in to that hot slick space. He paused taking in the features of Graham’s face so close under his own.

“You’re so beautiful like this.” Xander couldn’t help the sappy words that slipped out of his mouth. Graham just smiled up at him.

“Move, please, Xan,” Graham begged squeezing down on the part of Xander that was inside him. Sometimes he wished that they could stay like this forever. Just the two of them. In this room. Not being worried by anything, just together. Xander started to move and all thought abandoned Graham. They moved together gently, over and over like the rhythm of the sea hitting the beach. Soon they were both covered in sweat and panting for breath. Xander sped up unable to keep control any longer and was soon lost in orgasm, Graham following him over the abyss and into mind blowing pleasure. They lay together panting until Xander had the presence of mind to withdraw from Graham carefully. The condom was disposed of and Xander collapsed on the bed beside his lover.

“That was…” He began but didn’t have the words to finish it.

“Yeah,” Graham agreed knowing exactly what Xander couldn’t put into words. He was tired but Graham couldn’t stop from touching Xander first it was just a hand up the arm but soon it was more and they rolled together again.

Meanwhile, back at the party…

Willow was wondering where Xander was but she put him to the back of the mind as Tara’s next words reached her brain. Horses!

“Horses, like big ... tall ... teeth that can take your arm off horses?” She asked the other girl as they sat on the steps.

Well? Sure. I learned to ride when I was a kid. It's fun. And, by the way, most horses don't like arm very much.” Tara smiled at Willow wondering how she had gotten so lucky to have this remarkable woman in her life.

“I had a bad birthday party pony thing when I was four. I, I look at horses and I see really big ponies.” Willow explained knowing it was irrational but wasn’t that what fear was all about being irrational.

“You should ride with me sometime. I guarantee safety and fun.” Tara smiled again flirting quietly and was happy to see a smile grace Willows face.

“Well... if you promise you'll look after me.” She put her hand on Tara’s knee and was astonished to find the other girl jumping back as if stung.

“Don't touch me!” Willow frowned shocked. Had she done something wrong?

“That's ... just disgusting.” Tara stood up feeling very disorientated.

“Tara ... what's the matter?” They were both very confused.

“I don't, I don't know.” Tara admitted panting trying to separate her own thoughts from the foreign ones swirling through her head.

“I'm sorry, I… I didn't mean to ... are… are you feeling okay?” Willow babbled shocked.

“I'm f… fine, I just wanna ...” Tara took off up the stairs leaving a very confused Willow behind.
