Xander stretched lazily on the bed, rolling onto his side and propping himself up on one arm. He looked down at his girlfriends - and boy, even though it was still a little weird thinking of Willow and Tara *that* way, it felt incredibly good nonetheless - snuggled together next to him and sighed contentedly. He leaned down and kissed Tara's shoulder softly, and she turned and met his eyes, smiling that beautiful, crooked smile of hers that he already couldn't get enough of.

"I'm thirsty," she said languidly.

"I'm not surprised," Willow said, her face brightening with her own lovely smile as she, too, pulled back a little and faced Tara. "After what we just did...." She trailed off, giggling.

"Could you get me some water?" Tara asked, poking Xander lightly in the chest and fixing him with a hopeful look.

Xander chuckled softly. "You mean I have to get out of bed? But it's so warm and soft here," he teased, running one hand over Tara's belly, trying his best to look put-out. He figured the effect was probably ruined by the broad grin he couldn't keep off his face, though, because Tara and Willow just laughed.

"Please, Xander?" Willow chirped. Then her smile faded and she looked at him in mock seriousness. "Don't make me start explaining all the reasons it's important for us to stay hydrated when we do this...."

Shaking his head, Xander rolled over and stood up. "It's okay," he said, grinning at her. "I'll take your word for it, Miss Straight A's in Biology." He turned and stepped away from the bed, not bothering to pick up his robe as he headed for the door.

"Hurry back," Willow called out as he walked into the hallway.

Xander smiled as he stepped into the living room. He turned on the light and made his way into the kitchen where he opened the refrigerator and took out a couple of bottles of water. Realizing that he was pretty thirsty himself, he opened one of the bottles right there and took a long drink before leaving the kitchen.

He crossed the living room quickly and turned out the lights behind him. However, when he reached the doorway to their bedroom, what he saw made him pause briefly.

Willow and Tara were stretched out on the bed, facing each other, locked in passionate embrace. Xander stood just outside the room for a moment and watched them as they kissed deeply. Their hands traveled over each other's bodies slowly, almost lazily, their caresses soft and sensual.

Xander had seen them like this before, of course, but it felt different to be looking in from outside, as it were. If he hadn't just made love to Tara a few minutes ago, he might have felt like a voyeur. Still, he knew how well he fit here - this was his home now too, after all - and that made a world of difference.

He stepped into the room and made his way over to the bed. Willow and Tara sat up as he approached, breaking their kiss and smiling as he handed them the bottles of water. Xander laid down on the bed next to them as they drank, and when they were finished, they set the bottles on one of the nightstands and turned their attention back to him.

"Thank you, Xander," Willow said brightly. He rolled onto his back as she moved across him to his right side, leaving Tara on his left, positioning him between them. Willow laid down beside him, pressing herself against him, and he turned his head, meeting her eyes as she leaned in to kiss him.

Their kiss was gentle at first, but quickly grew much more passionate. As Xander's tongue met Willow's, Tara moved in toward him as well, resting against his other side. She kissed and nibbled his neck and his earlobe as Xander and Willow explored each other's mouths, and when they finally broke apart, he turned toward Tara and they kissed deeply as well. Willow rained kisses upon his face and neck as she ran one hand gently through Tara's hair, and Xander wrapped his arms around them both, holding them close, losing himself in their warmth and their softness.

It only took a few minutes of this before his girls had driven him to heights of arousal again. Willow sat up slightly, pulling away from him as she grasped his cock, stroking it lightly a few times as it became fully hard in her hand. She laid her other hand on Tara's shoulder, catching her attention, and she sat up as well, glancing down at Xander's cock as Willow rubbed her thumb lightly over the head.

"That didn't take long," Willow said, giggling. She gave Tara a mischievous grin. "We're lucky our boyfriend is such a stud."

"Hey," Xander said gently, sitting up himself. "It's *completely* because of you. You're both so beautiful," he said, giving Tara a quick kiss, "and sexy," he continued, kissing Willow as well. "I can't help getting inspired when I'm with you two."

"Flatterer," Tara said with a chuckle.

"Definitely," Willow agreed, poking Xander in the chest lightly. "But you're absolutely right about the hotness of Tara," she said, turning toward her and kissing her hotly. Tara lifted one hand to Willow's face, caressing her cheek gently, but she pulled back after only a brief moment.

"I have plans for you, sweetie," she said with a grin. "But I want to watch you two together first," she murmured, her gaze taking in both of them. Xander smiled at her as she moved away from them slightly, laying down next to them, and turned back to Willow.

They kissed deeply, Xander lying back on the bed and Willow following without breaking the contact between them. She laid herself on top of him, and Xander wrapped his arms around her, relishing the feel of her amazing lithe body. He moaned into Willow's mouth as she moved on top of him slowly, rubbing herself against him.

Xander broke their kiss after a moment and gave Willow a wicked grin. She squeaked in surprise as he rolled them over suddenly, trapping her beneath him. She opened her mouth, but before she could voice any protest, Xander covered it with his, kissing her deeply and passionately.

When he finally pulled away, Willow took a moment to catch her breath. "What do you think you're doing?" she asked, giggling as Xander kissed and nibbled her neck.

"I want to be on top," he replied with a chuckle, kissing his way down her chest, nuzzling the soft, lightly freckled skin as he went.

"You could have just asked, you...." The rest of Willow's sentence was cut off by a soft gasp as Xander kissed one nipple, taking it in his mouth and suckling lightly.

Xander lifted his head from her breast momentarily and looked up at her face. "Yeah," he said, his voice low. "But you like it when I take charge, don't you?" he asked in the most confident, sexy tone he could manage. Then he fell silent, watching her a little nervously, waiting for her reaction. Self-assured and seductive were two terms that definitely didn't describe him, but....

Willow shivered underneath him, her eyes locked on his, her gaze intense. Xander smiled slowly at her - this was definitely the reaction he'd been hoping for. He ran his hands down her sides, resting them on her hips and rubbing her softly there.

"She likes it when I take charge, too," Tara said. She smiled, her blue eyes twinkling a little, and leaned in briefly to kiss Willow's shoulder. "She just doesn't like to admit it."

"Hey," Willow protested. She didn't get any farther than that, though, since Xander kissed her nipple again, sucking harder this time and circling his tongue around it. Willow gave up trying to talk and laid one hand on his head, running her fingers through his hair and holding him lightly to her.

After a few moments, Xander moved over to her other breast, kissing the soft flesh there. Willow moaned softly as he bit her nipple gently, running his teeth over it, then sucking it into his mouth and laving it with his tongue. He moved one hand up to caress her other breast, enjoying her soft moans and the way she was pushing her chest up toward him; he loved making her feel good.

Finally, he pulled away, lifting his head a little and looking down at Willow as she caught her breath. "God, you're beautiful," he murmured, his heart warming when he saw the brilliant smile that made its way onto Willow's face at his words, and he couldn't help but return the gesture. He then lowered his head again, kissing his way down her taut, flat stomach and laying his hands on her inner thighs, rubbing her softly there as he approached her core.

"So beautiful," Tara echoed. "I've never seen anything as beautiful as you." She scooted in closer toward them as Xander opened Willow's folds with his fingers, and her moan of pleasure as he flicked his tongue over her clit was muffled by Tara leaning in and kissing her passionately. He glanced upward, seeing Tara rest one hand on Willow's cheek as she deepened their kiss, and he watched for a few seconds before returning his attention to Willow's sex.

He ran his tongue over her lips, tasting her, then licked her clit slowly. Even muted by Tara's mouth, he could still hear Willow's whimpers and moans as he circled his tongue around the nub, then over it again. Paying close attention to her reactions, he quickly settled into a rhythm that was neither too rough nor too soft, and Willow tangled her fingers in his hair again, pushing herself toward him.

Without breaking their kiss, Tara ran one hand slowly down Willow's chest to one of her breasts, rubbing it softly. She pinched her nipple, rolling it between her fingers as Xander slid his tongue inside her. Willow's back arched, and Tara pulled away from her just in time to let her blissful cry fill the air.

Tara scooted down a bit, taking Willow's nipple in her mouth and sucking on her hard. Xander moved back to her clit, rubbing his lips over it gently. He kissed her softly there, sucking on her gently before licking her once more.

It was only another few minutes before Xander couldn't take any more. Willow's moans, and the way she was writhing underneath him, were making him crazy. He couldn't wait any longer - he needed to be inside her.

He lifted his head from between her legs and pushed himself up on his arms. Seeing this, Tara pulled away from Willow's chest and gave him a quick kiss, watching as he crawled up Willow's body. He paused to kiss her lovely breasts again, then continued on, stopping when they were face to face.

Tara took his cock in her hand, guiding him forward, pressing his head gently against Willow's sex. "Please," Willow said softly, opening her legs wider for him.

Xander stared into her eyes as he pushed into her. He couldn't suppress a moan at how tight she was, her muscles clenching hard around his cock, and she gasped at his entry, her head rolling back. He looked down at her, her eyes full of love and lust, red hair fanned out on the pillow beneath her, and his breath caught momentarily in his throat.

God, she was beautiful.

Next to them, Tara settled back on the bed and moaned softly as well. "You two are *so* hot together," she said, her tone low and sultry. Xander turned to look at her, flushed and breathing heavily, and he could see the love in her eyes as well, mixed with open, naked desire. As he watched, she smiled sexily at him and slid one hand down between her legs. As he looked her over, then turned back and stared down at Willow underneath him, Xander thought that he just might possibly be the luckiest man in the world.

He lowered himself down onto Willow, taking most of his weight on his arms to either side of her but still allowing him to feel her skin against him. He kissed her deeply as he began to move inside her, sliding his tongue into her mouth, penetrating her twice. She moaned softly into his mouth, sucking on his tongue as she wrapped her legs around him.

"Oh, Xander," she breathed as he pulled away from her lips, kissing her face and neck. She wrapped her arms around him as well, rubbing his back, and he nibbled on her earlobe gently. She rocked underneath him, meeting his thrusts, and tightened her arms and legs around him, trying to pull him in closer, deeper, feeling like she'd never let him go.

He and Tara had gotten Willow so worked up earlier that it only took a minute or so before Xander could see that she was close to the brink. He pushed himself up a little, picking up his pace and thrusting into her harder. Willow squirmed underneath him, moaning loudly, and then her orgasm was upon her, and he kept up his thrusts as she tensed, her inner muscles rippling around his cock. The waves of pleasure that sent through Xander's body were intense, but not as intense as the look in her eyes. Willow kept her gaze locked to his the whole time, and in that moment of total openness during her climax and immediately after, the love he could see in her eyes was so intense it was almost overwhelming.

As Willow came down from her high, Xander was strongly tempted to keep going, wanting nothing more than to spill himself inside this beautiful, wonderful woman. But he forced himself to slow down, letting her catch her breath and relax a little.

Willow smiled at him, lifting her head, and Xander closed the distance between them and pressed his lips to hers. Their kiss was deep and passionate, and Xander lifted one hand briefly to stroke her hair. After a long moment, Willow pulled away and moved her hands around to his chest, caressing him briefly there before wrapping her arms around him again.

Sighing softly, Willow looked up and met Xander's eyes. "Please, Xander," she said quietly, "please fuck me harder?"

Xander was only too happy to oblige her. She moaned as he increased his pace, thrusting into her more deeply, loving the feel of her soft, wet walls gripping him tightly. She ground against him as he moved, lifting her hips a little to meet his thrusts.

Next to them, Tara scooted in a little closer and reached for one of Willow's hands. Taking it in her own, she gently lifted it off Xander's back, bringing it to her mouth. Gently, teasingly, she sucked on Willow's index finger as she continued to rub herself between her legs with her other hand.

Willow gasped softly, taking in the look in Tara's eyes and the sight of the blonde sucking on her. As Tara moved to her middle finger, licking and sucking it gently, Xander realized that he'd seen her tease Willow's clit in exactly the same way, and that obviously hadn't gone unnoticed by Willow either. She turned back to Xander, her eyes tracing over his body, looking down to where they were joined, and she moaned again.

Willow took her other hand off Xander's back, reaching up and grabbing their headboard. Her body tensed, and Xander could tell that she was restraining herself, deliberately denying herself the pleasure of touching either of them. She bit her bottom lip, the expression on her face intense, and the sight of her stretched out underneath him pushed Xander's arousal still higher.

He thrust into her harder, watching as she quickly approached her peak again, trying to hold off his own release until she got there. Keeping her fingers in her mouth, Tara slid her hand down Willow's arm, taking hold of her breast and pinching her nipple softly.

A second later, Willow cried out, her body shaking with the force of her release. Xander's orgasm followed immediately after, and he resisted the temptation to close his eyes; he wanted Willow to see him totally unguarded, the way Tara had earlier, the way he'd seen her just a few minutes ago. He thrust into Willow deeply, and she clenched around him tightly, milking his cock as he came inside her. They rode out their climaxes together, and a second later, Tara joined them, gasping loudly as she brought herself to her own release.

When their tremors had subsided, Xander rolled them over, being careful to stay inside Willow. They relaxed together, Willow resting on top of him, and Tara snuggled up against them both.

They laid together in silence for a moment. Xander enjoyed the warmth and comfort of having them both so close, and he closed his eyes and relaxed, finally slipping out of Willow a short while later. He wrapped one arm around her, running his fingers lightly along her spine, and rested his other hand on Tara's shoulder, rubbing her softly.

Xander reached for one of the bottles of water and took a drink, then passed it to Willow, who drank and then handed it to Tara. "I feel very close to you right now," he said softly, looking at each of them in turn as Tara finished off the water. "Both of you."

"You are close to us right now," Willow said with a giggle, kissing his chest to emphasize her point.

"That's not what I mean," Xander replied, chuckling. He paused briefly, and Tara and Willow both smiled at him as he searched for the words to express what he was feeling.

Finally, he shrugged. "I'm not good at talking about stuff like this," he admitted. "But it's a good feeling. I like it. A lot."

Tara sighed contentedly. "Me too," she said. "I think...." She paused briefly and glanced at Willow, who nodded encouragingly. "I think we know how you feel."

Xander smiled at them. "I'm glad," he said. He was still a little overwhelmed by what he was coming to feel for these women, and even just the smallest reminder that they felt the same way about him made him happier than he could possibly say.

They laid together in comfortable silence for another moment before Tara sat up. "Okay, honey," she said, resting a hand on Willow's back and rubbing her softly. "My turn with you now." She spoke softly, but her tone left no room for argument.

Willow gave Xander a quick kiss, then rolled off of him and onto her back, looking up at Tara with no small amount of excitement in her eyes. Xander shifted onto his side, watching as Tara straddled Willow and leaned down to kiss her.

They kissed deeply, tongues wrestling, and Willow moaned softly into Tara's mouth. Xander smiled as he looked on - the love and passion these two women shared for each other was still an amazing thing to see. Once more he felt privileged to witness it.

Willow reached up to touch Tara as they kissed, slowly caressing the blonde's shoulders and arms. She moved her hands around to Tara's chest, running her palms over her large breasts.

The moment Willow touched her nipples, Tara abruptly pulled away from her. Growling softly, she took Willow's hands and gently but insistently pulled them away from her body. She stared into Willow's eyes as she guided her hands upward and pressed them to the mattress above Willow's head, holding her wrists securely. Tara then lowered herself onto Willow, pinning the redhead's small, slender frame under her larger body.

Willow gasped at this, but before she could say anything, Tara pressed her lips to Willow's again, kissing her slowly and deeply. Willow closed her eyes briefly, but when Tara broke their kiss and nipped at Willow's neck, they flew open again and she sucked in her breath in surprise. She moaned and writhed underneath Tara, but was held, immobile, as her girlfriend continued biting and sucking her neck. Willow's need was obvious, but Tara, already well-satisfied, had none of that same urgency and was content to take her time.

Finally, Tara pulled away from Willow's neck and looked down at her intently. She released Willow's hands, but instead of trying to touch Tara again, she reached up and grabbed their headboard once more. Tara smiled slowly, pushing herself up and off of Willow. She slid one hand down Willow's chest, rubbing her palm over one of her breasts and taking her nipple between her fingers. Tara pinched her, hard, and Willow gasped, her fingers tightening on the headboard as she pushed her chest upward.

Brushing her hair back behind her head, Tara kissed Willow's other breast, scraping her teeth lightly over it. She looked up briefly, meeting Willow's eyes, then lowered her mouth back to her nipple, sucking and nibbling. Willow moaned loudly, closing her eyes briefly and shivering with pleasure.

Xander scooted closer and touched Willow's cheek, running his fingers along it gently. She opened her eyes and looked at him, her excitement and desire clearly written on her face, and he leaned down to kiss her. She eagerly opened her mouth for him, surrendering to him as he slid his tongue past her lips, plundering her mouth, probing and tasting everywhere he could reach. Willow lifted one hand from the headboard, bringing it halfway to Xander's face before stopping herself and reaching back and grasping it once more.

After a long moment, Xander broke their kiss and pulled away from Willow. As he did, Tara looked up from her chest and met his eyes. He gave her a knowing smile and leaned in toward her, sharing a quick kiss with the blonde before settling back on the bed next to them.

Tara propped herself up on one arm next to Willow, on the opposite side from Xander, and looked down at her. She slid her other hand down Willow's stomach slowly, teasingly, down toward her sex. But she stopped halfway there, and Willow whimpered as Tara rested her hand on her belly.

"Please, Tara," Willow said softly, her voice thick with arousal. Her whole body was tense and she was breathing heavily as she stared into Tara's eyes. "Please. I need you."

"What do you need?" Tara asked innocently, tracing circles around Willow's navel.

"I need... your fingers inside me," Willow begged. "Please."

Tara grinned, her hand gliding over Willow's skin down to her sex. Willow opened her legs wider as Tara reached her destination, squirming a little and pushing her hips upward, moaning softly at her touch. "You're so wet," Tara murmured, her fingers tracing over Willow's lips slowly.

Tara leaned down and kissed Willow hard as she slid two fingers inside her. Willow moaned into her mouth, her back arching upward as her whole body tensed. After just a few seconds, Tara broke their kiss and pulled back, grinning as she looked down at Willow.

Tara started fucking Willow hard and fast with her fingers, and Willow squirmed underneath her, gasping loudly. Xander sucked in a breath at the amazing sight of Willow stretched out on the bed and Tara poised above her, fingers inside her, thrusting into her, Willow's body tensing and relaxing with the waves of pleasure their girlfriend was bringing her. He reached out and caressed one of Willow's breasts, rubbing and pinching her nipple, and she turned and smiled at him, her eyes shining with desire.

After a moment, Tara ceased the motions of her fingers, leaving them buried deeply inside Willow's sex. She rubbed her thumb over Willow's clit, circling around and over it, and Willow gave a deep, prolonged moan. She closed her eyes, her head rolling back on the pillow, then gasped and quickly looked up again as Tara began fucking her once more.

Tara kept her rhythm up for the next several minutes, alternating between thrusting her fingers hard into Willow and pausing to pleasure her clit with her thumb. Xander could tell she was close to the brink now - her breath was coming in short gasps and she was practically grinding herself against Tara's hand. Tara repositioned herself between Willow's legs, flicking her tongue over her clit and circling around it rapidly as she continued fucking her, and that was all it took to send Willow over the edge. She moaned incoherently and clamped her thighs around Tara's head, trembling as her climax washed over her.

Finally, it was over, and she relaxed, opening her eyes and letting go of the headboard. Tara sat up and removed her fingers from Willow. She looked at Willow and Xander in turn and then, very deliberately, brought her fingers to her mouth and sucked them slowly. Willow gave a contented sigh and rubbed Tara's shoulder lovingly.

Tara leaned down and gave Willow a soft kiss, and Willow closed her eyes and gently cupped her face with one hand. When she pulled back, Tara turned toward Xander and looked him over, catching sight of his cock, fully hard again from what he'd just seen. She smiled, and Xander leaned in and kissed her, sharing his passion and ardor with her.

After they broke apart, Tara rested a hand on Willow's stomach and rubbed her softly. "Willow, honey," she said, and Willow opened her eyes. Tara nodded toward Xander, and Willow followed her gaze to his cock.

"Wow. Again? Already?" She sat up and met Xander's gaze, her eyes twinkling with mirth.

"This is what you do to me," Xander replied, his voice low. He smiled warmly, his gaze taking in both of them. "In my whole life, I've never seen anything as beautiful as the two of you making love."

They smiled back at him, and Willow scooted closer to him. She pressed her lips to his, their kiss deep, slow, and intense. Xander reached for her with one hand, cupping her breast, loving the feel of her soft flesh against his palm. He stroked her nipple with his fingers, and Willow pulled away from him almost immediately after.

She turned toward Tara and smiled mischievously. "Our boyfriend is pretty demanding," she said, giggling.

It was obvious that she was joking, but Xander felt instantly guilty nonetheless. "I'm sorry," he said. "I didn't mean.... You don't have to...."

Tara shushed him, placing her hands on his chest and pushing him gently to rest on his back, propped up against the pillows. "It's okay," she said as Willow scooted down the bed, rubbing his thighs as she lowered her head between his legs, giving his cock a gentle kiss. "Just relax and let us make you feel good."

Xander was about to speak again, but his further attempt at an apology turned into an incoherent moan as Willow's lips slipped around the head of his cock. Tara kissed him hotly, and he could still taste Willow on her lips as he slid his tongue into her mouth. Tara sucked on his tongue gently, and Willow did the same to the tip of his cock, sending shivers of delight all through his body.

Willow took a bit more of him in her mouth, circling her tongue around his head. She moved her lips over him slowly, and quickly settled into a rhythm that was perfect - not so slow that it was frustrating, but not so fast as to send him over the edge too quickly. Xander shivered at the wonderful sensations Willow's lips and tongue were bringing him.

Tara's tongue danced around his, their kiss deepening as Xander's excitement increased. She took his hand and guided it to her breast, pressing his palm against her nipple. He caressed her, squeezing her gently, and ran his other hand through Willow's soft hair as she moved on him.

After a few minutes, Tara pulled away from Xander and pushed herself down the bed to lay next to Willow. She kissed her shoulder softly, and Willow pulled away from Xander's cock, turning and smiling at her girlfriend. She moved over, allowing Tara to take her place, and rested one hand on the small of her back as Tara ran her tongue up Xander's shaft.

Xander moaned again as Tara wrapped her lips around his cock, pushing up toward her slightly. He stroked her hair gently as she sucked on him, moving just a little faster than Willow had. Her soft tongue circled around his head, sending heat all through him, and he sighed softly with the feeling.

Tara looked up at him, and Xander met her eyes, his gaze intense. He gasped as her tongue found a particularly sensitive spot, his whole body tensing, all his nerve endings suddenly alive. Willow rubbed slow circles on Tara's back as she watched, and she rested her other hand on Xander's hip, and Xander covered it with his own.

Eventually, Tara pulled away from him and Willow took her place again. She smiled at him, the gesture at once playful and sexy, and took his cock in her mouth again. She sucked on him harder this time, moving on him faster, her tongue seemingly everywhere at once.

It only took a couple of minutes before Xander felt his climax approaching rapidly. "God, Willow, I.... I'm close...." he moaned in warning as her ministrations drove him to the edge.

Tara touched Willow's shoulder, and Willow glanced at her out of the corner of her eye. Reading something in her expression, she stopped suddenly and pulled away from Xander, looking at Tara curiously.

"I want to finish him this time," Tara said softly. Xander looked at her in surprise - she'd never done that before. He started to say something, but Tara rested one hand on his thigh and met his eyes.

"It's okay," she reassured him, giving him a quick smile and turning back to Willow.

Willow nodded slowly and moved back as Tara scooted in toward Xander. "Are you going to swallow for him?" she asked.

Tara nodded, blushing a little, and Willow smiled encouragingly at her. "It's okay," she said. "Just don't try to swallow too fast, and you'll be fine." She rested a hand on Tara's upper arm and gave her a loving squeeze.

Turning back toward Xander, Tara lowered her mouth onto him, his head slipping past her lips into the warm cocoon of her cheeks and tongue. She slid her lips along his length, sucking on him, licking him all over, and just a minute or so later, Xander's orgasm was upon him. Gasping and moaning, his muscles tightened, his release flooding Tara's mouth, and she swallowed everything he gave her, caressing his balls gently with one hand.

Finally, Xander collapsed back on the bed and started to relax, utterly spent. Tara released his cock, licking the last traces of his climax from it, and sat up. Willow rose along with her and kissed her deeply, tasting Xander on her lips and tongue.

After a long moment, Willow and Tara broke apart and laid down on either side of Xander. They snuggled against him, draping themselves over him, their legs entwining together as they rested their heads on his chest. Tara reached for the nightstand and turned off the light, and Willow pulled the covers up over them all.

Xander sighed softly as he wrapped his arms around them. "Tonight was amazing," he said. "As always."

Willow chuckled softly. "It was pretty amazing for me too," she said.

"Mmmm." Tara's soft sigh tickled Xander's chest. "And me too." She reached for Willow's hand, lacing their fingers together, their clasped hands resting on Xander's stomach.

Willow's eyes were already closing, so Xander didn't say anything more, but instead just watched as she and Tara drifted off to sleep. He followed shortly after, totally content in the warm, soft embrace of his girls, his heart full of love for them that was at once scary and wonderful.

THE END

Next: Willow, Tara, and Xander tell Buffy about their relationship. Look for it (hopefully) soon!
