Complement

XIV – I Feel You
(Part A)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They spent the morning up on the roof terrace. Faith told Buffy everything that had happened to her after she had gone to jail. Then all of what had occurred after Angel had come for her at the courthouse. How he had taken care of her. How Queen C had taken over when he had temporarily gone mad, how Cordy had enlisted the aid of Wesley and Gunn. How she had worked for Angel before she came here, her struggle the first time when she actually had to stake a vamp and the finally the story leading up to her coming back to Sunnydale.

Buffy moved out of Faith's arms, and turned to face her, kneeling. She reached out and gently wiped away the tears from Faith eyes. Tears Faith hadn't even realized she was crying. She gently cupped that beautiful face between her hands.

"Have I ever told you how amazing I think you are? How proud I am of all that you've done. How honored I am just to know you. How much you awe me. How humbled I am by you. How I admire that you aren't afraid to show the world who you are or how much you care..."

"Enough B. You're gonna give me a big head!" Faith laughed softly, pulling Buffy back down into her arms, placing a tender kiss on her lips.

Then softy Faith told her, "Those are all the things I saw in you. the the things I still see and feel about you. Things that you always were, things that you are now, things that no matter what you do, you will always be. Always be to me."

Buffy snuggled back into those strong arms, feeling safe, feeling loved, feeling forgiven. Faith began gently to probe her with questions. Drawing Buffy out, getting her to talk about what happened in the same manner that Angel had gotten her to talk. Letting her release it all. All the dark demons that had been haunting her, the demons that had nothing to do with Faith and the demons that had everything to do with Faith. The things that had nothing and everything to do with each other. Faith directed the conversation like a conductor, leading Buffy to the road she had been on and after they had finished talking they lay secure in each other's arms. Comfortable in the silence and Faith knew that Buffy was well on the road to healing and forgiving herself. There was nothing left to stand ieir eir way.

I feel you ~ Your sun it shines ~ I feel you ~ Within my mind ~ You take me there...

They had barely made it in the door before Dawn rushed them.

"Willow and Tara said I could sleep over. They're gonna teach me some spells! SocanIcanIBuffy? Pleaseeeee!"

Faith had to hide her smile behind her hand when she saw that there wareadreadbag bag packed by the bottom of the stairs.

"Well can I?" Dawn impatiently asked again.

"Well... I don't know Dawn..."

Dawn turned and looked at Faith begging her with her eyes to help her.

"Come on B. What harm can it do?" Faith said playing along with Buffy.

"I don't know Faith. You know spells and things. I mean she could get hurt."

"I'll be careful I promise. Please Buffy!"

Buffy leaned against the wall, rubbing her chin pretending to think about it. Dawn looked pleadingly at Faith again.

"The kid said she'd be careful. I 'm sure Red and Blondie won't teach her anything bad. Right guys?"

"Right no bad spells... Just good spells... No bad type spells... Like blowing up spells... or turning people into furry things... You know like the spell I did... Ah... forget that..."

"Right what Willow said I think..." Tara said pretending to be confused. Actually, she was confused. Wondering if Willow really did blow something up, she already knew about Willow turning Amy into a rat.

"Still..." Buffy said. "I don't know..."

Dawn took a good look at her sister. She had that evil gleam in her eyes, like the one she got just before a tickle fest was heading someone's way. Buffy was teasing her, she knew it!

"You're tng Bng Buffy! That's not fair!"

"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I let you stay with Will and Tara?" Buffy smiled at her sister. "Why don't you go pack a bag."

Faith started laughing, and was joined by the others, Buffy watched them confused.

"What's so funny?"

"You know for a Slayer sometimes your powers of observation are severely lacking." Faith pointed at the bag by the stairs.

"Why you..." Buffy looked at Dawn. "You already knew I would say yes didn't you?"

"Well I kinda hoped you would." Then Dawn surprised her sister, by hugging her quickly. "Thanks."

Dawn overover and grabbed her bag.

"Did you remember to pack your toothbrush?" 'God,' Buffy thought, 'I sound like Mom.'

Dawn shook her head no, and Buffy pointed towards the stairs. Dawn rushed up them two at a time.

"Pack your travel one, not the other one." Buffy yelled up after her.

"So what are you two going to do on your Dawn free night?" Goddamn if all four of them didn't turn beet red after Willow's innocent question.

"Well Faith here has to go meet Giles for her physical therapy session for her shoulder, and of course her stamina training. Seems that Giles thinks Faith has a little problem with her stamina, as he says, Buffy did you notice as of late Faith seems to be quite winded after training? What could I do?" Buffy couldn't stop the amusement in her tone.

"Ya coulda said no B! After all it's your fault. What do you have, radar or something? It's like you know two minutes before he's going to walk into the training room." Faith pouted.

It was like Buffy really did have radar, over the last few days right before Giles would come and check how their training was going Buffy would attack Faith. Leaving her breathing heavy just when Giles walked in. They thought he was oblivious to the fact that Faith's labored breathing had nothing to do with training and everything to do with Buffy, and Buffy's hands, her mouth, just her in general. Neither Slayer knew Giles as well as they thought they did, thus his suggestion for the new addition to Faith's training routine. He might be old by their standards but he had been young once too, he was waiting to see how far they would let this go, before they told him about their relationship. It saddened him a little that Buffy didn't feel comfortable enough to tell him about it yet. Or tell him about what happened between them even before this, he wished that she had. Maybe things could have turned out differently the first time if she had.

"I'm sorry baby." Buffy walked over and put her arms around the pouting Dark Slayer. "How about I make it up to you? While you're training I'll go shopping and when you get back to the Mansion I'll have dinner waiting for you... And of course dessert..." The last part was said so low and throaty that Faith felt her knees get weak, and herself get wet at the thought of just what or rather who, she would like to have for dessert.

Faith was ready to burst; a single touch from Buffy after all the days of torturous foreplay was all it would take to send her spiraling over the edge. The temperature in the room rose about a hundred degrees. Even the witches began to sweat.

"You don't play fair B." Faith groaned under her breath, as she felt Buffy's hand slide down and lightly caress her ass out of view of the witches.

"Found it! Let's go!" Dawn screamed running down the stairs.

"Hold up there a second Dawn." Buffy said, halting her sister's headlong rush out the front door. "Be good and listen to Will and Tara. Faith why don't you walk with them since you have to go to the Magic Shop anyway?" Faith didn't argue, knowing that Buffy was a little worried about Dawn being out alone even if she was with the two witches.

"Sure B," Faith stole a quick kiss, as she moved to go out the door.

Buffy stopped her for a second and said for her ears only, "Call me when you're done. I'll make sure that everything is ready when you get home."

Faith leaned back a little from Buffy and looked her directly in the eyes. Both knew without saying that the time was right for them to take the next step in their relationship.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I feel you ~ Your sun it shines ~ I feel you ~ Within my mind ~ You take me there...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Honey I'm home..." Faith yelled as she came through the door of the Mansion, her nervousness getting the best of her.

She did kno know why she was so nervous, it wasn't like they hadn't done this before. But she knew that wasn't true, this was different. This wasn't a Get some, Get gone deal, a quick fuck in bathroom and then a see-ya-bye thing. This was different, it felt different and with all her heart, the Dark Slayer wanted it to be different. Wanted to know what it was like to have someone touch her with love, not just lust, wanted to touch Buffy, be with Buffy in the same way. Faith was afraid she wouldn't know how, afraid she would disappoint her. What Faith didn't realize was that she had always touched Buffy that way, it had always been in her touch, in her eyes, for her it had always been more than just simple lust, she had just never given full rein to those feelings. And in a small way it always had been that way for Buffy too.

"In here," Buffy yelled from the kitchen. She kept her voice light; she was nervous, and if she knew Faith the way she thought she did, then Faith was probably a hundred times more nervous than Buffy was. She had gotten another of those weird little echoes of Faith's emotions the second Faith had come through the door. They had always been able to sense each other's presence, sense how each other felt. But this was different, it was like she was getting a muffled version of what Faith actually felt. She needed to talk to Giles about this; there was a lot she needed to talk to Giles about. Now however was not the time to think about that, now was the time to center her thoughts around Faith.

Buffy wanted this to go right, wanted it to be perfect. They were both like over-wound tops, it would be so easy after this week to just rush it, reduce it back to nothing but lust. The romance, the anticipation weren't new to her, this was just a little different, they had already been together, but this was something more, and Buffy wanted to make sure that she showed that to Faith. For Buffy, tonight was all about Faith. All about showing and giving to Faith everything she should have from the beginning. They both needed to relax and Buffy had just the thing in mind, a little unfinished business one might say.

"Hey," Faith stood fidgeting by the counter.

"Hey," Buffy walked over and folded Faith into her arms. She pressed a soft kiss on the base of her neck, not quite able to stop herself from taking a quick taste of the sweat that was there. "Why don't you go shower and change while I finish in here."

Buffy gently detangled herself from Faith and gave her a light shove towards the stairs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Faith walked into her bedroom shedding her clothes as she went. When she sat down on the chaise lounge, she looked around. The bedroom was clean, Buffy had cleaned her bedroom, now that she thought about the whole Mansion was clean. While Faith wasn't dirty, she wasn't very neat either, so she reasoned, Buffy must have cleaned the Mansion.

Upon the bed there was a single white and red rose wired together, the roses were flanked by the white and black stuffed panthers Faith had won for Buffy at the fair. Faith knew that each different color rose meant something she she didn't know what. She picked them up and smelled them, she loved the smell of roses, actually all flowers, she loved flowers. Another of her well kept Bad Girl secrets. As for the panthers, she still didn't know why Buffy had wanted to keep them. She reminded herself to ask about them tonight.

She finished getting undressed, actually picking up her clothes and throwing them in the hamper. Naked she padded over to the closed bathroom door; she opened it and stopped in her tracks.

The bathroom was lit by what must have been close to fifty candles. They flickered in the slight breeze creating dancing shadows upon the marble walls. The Jacuzzi tub filled and steaming, the jets already on keeping the water warm. There was an alluring scent rising from the steaming water. Faith wasn't sure what it was, but whatever it was smelled both heavenly and sensuous at the same time. Next to the tub was a little t tha that hadn't been there earlier today and it was the same height as the tub, making it easy for the person in it to reach whatever they might put on it. Hanging on a hook by the tub there was a brand new deep, dark purple, almost black, silk robe. Faith touched the robe liking the feel of the silkeatheath her fingers, its smooth texture, soft, and delicate. There were two very large black bath pillows, and a large, soft-looking body sponge.

'Wow! B did this for me? Wow! I wonder if she'll believe me if I tell her I need help washing my hair again?'

Faith climbed gratefully into the tub. She dunked her head under wetting her hair, then she leaned her head back resting it on one of the pillows. She relaxed into the silky, seductive heat of the oil-scented water, closing her eyes. She let herself drift off into a light sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...You take me where ~ The kingdom comes ~ You take me to ~ And lead me through Babylon...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Knock. Knock." Faith opened her eyes slowly and saw a vision standing in the doorway of the bathroom. "oughought you might be thirsty or want some company."

Buffy walked into the bathroom. In her hand she carried an ice bucket with a bottle of... was that champagne in the bucket? In her other hand, she had two flute glasses with a strawberry in each. She had on a dark amber silk robe that looked to be exactly like the one that was hanging on the wall for Faith. Her hair hung loosely around her shoulders, she didn't have a trace of makeup on, there was a hint of mischief in her hazel eyes, and a soft sensuous smiled played around her lips. Faith was speechless all she was capable of was staring at the vision before her.

"You don't mind if I join you? Do you Faith?" Her tone was light almost casual. She waited for Faith to answer her.

"N-n-n-o."

'Did I say that out loud? I did not just stutter. When did I start stuttering?'

Buffy moved closer to the side of the tub and smiled at Faith. It was a very wicked smile, a fucking downright Cat-that-ate-the-canary smile. A smile that made Faith shudder in anticipation.

"Good... because... you know... we never really did get to finish that last bath... Well... At least not the way I would have liked to..."

Buffy voice flowed over Faith in the same silky, seductive way the water in the bath flowed around her.

Buffy put down the ice bucket and the glasses on the table. She looked at Faith in the tub, then at where the table was, and moved it a little off to the other side. She poured champagne into each glass. Locking her eyes with Faith's she slowly untied the sash of the robe, then slid it from her to the floor. Her smile grew a little larger as Faith's eyes widen upon seeing what she had on underneath, or rather what she didn't have on underneath.

'Christ I'm gonna have a heart attack just looking at her. OHGOD!'

Buffy climbed into the tub with her, sliding down the side facing her sideways. One of her legs moved behind Faith's back, and slowly Buffy slid behind her, until she had a leg on either side of Faith. She reached out and took hold of Faith by the waist and slid her back to her. Stopping when Faith's back was almost flush against her front. The heat coming from Buffy was warmer, hotter than the water, and Faith moaned when that heat touched her. Buffy slid Faith's hips forward slightly, while gently pulling her torack ack against her so that Faith was semi-reclining against her, her head leaning back upon Buffy's shoulder.

Buffy reached over and picked up a glass, handed it to Faith, and reaching back picked up the other for herself.

"Here's to us. And to you: the newest member of my family."

Faith smiled up at Buffy as she said this. She would have liked to have said something in return but she had been rendered incapable of speech the second Buffy had gotten in the tub with her. It felt like there were two holes being burnt right through her back where Buffy's breasts touched her. The sides of her thighs felt like they were going to melt where they came in contact with Buffy's legs. She couldn't even begin to think about the slick heat that onlyonly a few inches away from her lower back and buttocks.

"You know it's bad luck if you don't drink for a toast Faith." Buffy took a sip of champagne, and smiled at the Dark Slayer.

Faith raised her glass to her mouth but in her haste and not having a lot of experience with flute glasses, she tipped it just a little too far when it touched her lips. The strawberry came rushing towards the rim of the glass, propelling the champagne out of the glass in a river over her lips, down her chin, her neck, heading towards her breasts.

'Shit! Goddamn it! Real fucking attractive! Suave aren't...'

Faith's thoughts trailed off as she tried to sit up to only have Buffy hold her against her as she trailed her hand up the side of Faith's neck, turning Faith's head towards her.

"Wouldn't want to waste that..." Low, throaty, and husky, Buffy's voice wrapped around Faith as her head started to lower.

Beginning with Faith's lips Buffy began to lick up every bit of spilled champagne. Lingering, teasing with the promise of a deeper kiss. But these kisses were only meant to promise, to tempt, to tease. She trailed her way down Faith's chin, licking, nipping, coming back up to her mouth murmuring under her breath something about missing a spot. Her hand tangled in Faith's hair keeping her turned towards her, and Faith pressed tightly to her.

Buffy's other hand, which had magically put down her own glass came up to capture the champagne that had managed to make its way to Faith's breasts. While her head moved lower to find the sweet champagne that had dripped down the Dark Slayer's neck. Her mouth slid up to behind Faith's ear, remembering the sensitive spot she had found during the last bath. She scraped her teeth along it with slightly more pressure repeatedly, then used her tongue to soothe the tender spot.

Faith moaned so low and deep that Buffy actually felt it vibrate through her.

Faith tried to turn in Buffy's embraced, but Buffy stopped her.

"Stay. Just stay like this."

"B. I..."

"Just let me touch you. I've thought about touching you all day... Just thinking about it... I had to stop myself from..."

"From what B?" Faith barely managed to get out because y'sy's hand was once again moving on her breast. Swirling the champagne around her nipple, the sides of her fingers brushing against Faith's nipple but not really touching it.

"I had to stop myself from... touching myself just at the thought of you..." Buffy breathed into Faith's ear, eliciting another moan from the Dark Slayer at the thought of Buffy touching herself.

"You like that idea Faith?" Buffy laughed softly in her ear.

Was there a promise in that question?

Faith never got a ce tce to answer because Buffy's mouth came down on hers in a kiss that seared the Dark Slayer.

Buffy's tongue ravaged Faith's mouth. Plunging into Faith's mouth forcefully, banishing any coherent thoughts. Buffy dominated the kiss, dueling with Faith's tongue, opening her mouth even wider as if to swallow the Dark Slayer whole. Then she was pulling back from the kiss, and began to tease Faith again. With light touches of her lips upon Faith's, running her tongue along their outline, sneaking in to taste quickly, pulling back every time Faith tried to deepen the kiss. Catching her bottom lip between her teeth, nibbling on it, sucking it into her mouth, and running her tongue along it.

Every touch of Buffy's mouth on her was sending sparks of desire right from Faith's mouth straight down to her core. Faith could already feel her insides clutching, feel tiny spasms rippling through her. Almost like little aftershocks, no one had ever made her feel like this. This heat, this smoldering desire, Faith knew if she wasn't in the water right now, her desire would be dripping down the insides of her thighs, making them just as wet, as her center was right now. Still she didn't want this delicious torture to stop. Never wanted it to end.

Faith tried again to turn around in Buffy's arms. Buffy broke off kissing Faith. This time instead of stopping Faith, Buffy moved her slightly off to her side so that now she was reclining up against one of the bath pillows instead of her. Leaving one of her legs behind Faith, she brought the other over the top of both of Faith's, bending it slightly.

Then she put her hand on Faith's hips and slid Faith closer to her, not stopping until the side of Faith's thigh and buttock were flush against the scorching heat of her own center. Even through the water, Faith could feel how wet Buffy was. Once again, Faith reached out to touch Buffy and Buffy once again stopped her.

"No. Just lean back, relax and let me spoil you. I want to spoil you. Will you let me?" The smile Buffy gave Faith was so endearing, so sincere that Faith didn't know how she could say no.

Spoil her? No one had ever wanted to spoil her. She wasn't a sit-back-and-spoil-me kind of girl. Faith wasn't sure if she even would know how to let someone do that. That didn't stop her from nodding yes anyway, totally caught up in the web of desire that Buffy was spinning around her.

"Good. Now just lean back and relax. Let me take care of everything."

Buffy grabbed the champagne out of the ice bucket, reaching over Faith, she refilled the glass that Faith was amazingly enough still holding, clutched in a death grip, and thankfully hadn't crushed.

Faith hissed through her teeth when the ice-cold condensation on the side of the bottle dripped onto her breasts; making her les les harder, if that was even at all possible.

"Ooops! Sorry," there was an impish tone to Buffy's voice.

She quickly put down the bottle. Then her hot mouth was just as quickly on Faith's breast lapping up the cold drops and swirling her tongue licking off the sticky champagne that had trailed there from before. She ran her tongue round and round Faith's nipple, occasionally in an almost absentminded way flicking the hard bud. Again, that odd echo came to Buffy. This time it was Faith's need, her passion, desire, lust, all of it and Buffy felt her own body responding to it.

She lifted her head and smiled again at Faith. She took the glass of champagne from her and took a large sip before putting it down on the table. Faith didn't notice however that she didn't swallow the champagne.

Buffy lowered her head down to Faith's breast once again. She wrapped her lips around her nipple, and Faith arched her back, thrusting her breast further into Buffy's mouth, as the ice-cold champagne warred with the heat of Buffy's tongue as it mercilessly lashed her nipple. Her hand came up to tangle in Buffy's hair holding the there, while Buffy's hands began to run teasing patterns all over her body, everywhere but where Faith needed to be touched.

Buffy caught Faith's nipple between her teeth biting on it gently and pulling on it, letting the champagne seep out around it. One of her hands came up running along Faith's neck to her mouth, tracing it with her fingertips, until Faith caught them with her teeth sucking them deep into her mouth, running her tongue along their length. She moaned Faith's name biting down harder than she wanted causing the Dark Slayer to gasp out in pleasure that bordered on pain. She trailed her mouth and tongue up Faith's chest over her collarbone, back to the sensitive spot behind her ear again. Biting and dragging her teeth over it, licking at the tender area, causing little ripples of desire to shoot down to Faith's throbbing center. She lifted her head and saw the mark she had left. In a very primitive way, it pleased her that even with Faith's Slayer healing the mark would still be there tomorrow.

Buffy withdrew her fingers from Faith's mouth slowly exploring on her way Faith's soft mouth and skin, as fingfingers trailed down. She ran her fingers down over the Dark Slayer's skin, raked her nails down over her neck, to the hollow between her breasts then up and over oneoundound to the other.

"Mmmmm sticky... Need to fix that." Buffy leaned into Faith and reaching over her took the large soft body sponge and a bottle of liquid soap. She pauto rto rub her breasts over Faith's body and smiled at Faith's gasp.

Leaning back against the tub Buffy dipped the sponge into the water, pouring soap onto it. Before she had a chance to stop her, Faith's mouth was on her breast. Buffy's nipple caught between her teeth as the tip of Faith's tongue flicked across it. Her teeth pulling on it, drawing it further out of her body.

"Faith!" Buffy felt Faith smile around her nipple as she arched her body into Faith's hot mouth.

Faith groaned as she felt Buffy's slick center thrust into her side, sliding along her body. This was torture, delicious, but torture. She felt Buffy start to run the sponge over her back and shoulders, the combination of the soft, but slightly coarse sponge sending tingling sensations down her spine.

Then Buffy was gently but firmly pulling Faith away from her breast. God only knew where she found the control to do it but she did. She smiled sweetly at the confused looking Dark Slayer as she pushed her back to recline once again against the bath pillow.

"Spoil you. Want to spoil you. You said I could," Buffy pouted out.

Picking up one of Faith's hands Buffy began to bathe the Dark Slayer, taking her time with each of her fingers, lightly washing them with the sponge, washing first the palm of her hand, then the back. Running the sponge up the outside of her forearm than over to the inside to the sensitive skin there, applying a little more pressure against the skin, leaving little streaks of fire in its wake. As Buffy worked her way up Faith'm shm she followed the sponge with her other hand, caressing and massaging, dragging her nails or using just her fingertips on Faith's skin. By the time Buffy had worked her way across Faith's shoulders to her other arm, Faith felt an answering flush of heat, her insides clutching with every light touch of the sponge, at every almost nonexistent touch of Buffy's hand, her fingers, her nails against her skin.

Buffy slid the sponge down towards Faith's breasts, and smiled as Faith rose up to meet the sponge. She slid her leg out from behind Faith, and brought her other leg back over and between Faith's legs without once losing contact with Faith. She rose to her knees and sat back resting on the Dark Slayer's thigh. A soft moan escaped her as her heat came into contact with Faith's thigh. Unable to help herself she rocked against Faith's firm thigh, sliding easily from both her own wetness and the bath oil in the water.

Faith ran her hands down Buffy's body, returning the same exquisite torture that Buffy had been inflicting on her. One hand went up to capture a firm breast, to trace along it, learning its shape and texture, faintly running her fingertips over just the top of Buffy's nipple. Her other hand slid down Buffy's stomach, circling around her belly button, then sliding down to the curls right above her heat. Her thumb moved down and began a slow circular motion on Buffy's pelvic bone right at the base of the skin that covered Buffy's clit.

"Oh God Faith!" It came out as a strangled cry.

Buffy leaned forward again, and started to run the sponge over Faith's breast, her other hand playing with Faith's throbbing nipple, rolling it between her fingers, pinching it, then soothing it with her fingertips. She switched the sponge to her other hand and gave the same treatment to Faith's other breast, while continuing to ride the Dark Slayer's thigh.

Then Buffy was sliding away and out of Faith's reach, while she still had some control left. She ran the sponge down the Dark Slayer's stomach, as she brought her other leg over Faith's nudging her until she was kneeling between them. Buffy slid a little further back and lifted one of Faith's legs from the wat She She placed Faith's foot flat on her chest, and ran the sponge down the outside of Faith's leg, while her hand ran down the inside. Tracing delicate little patterns, moving closer to Faith's core, teasingly coming close, brushing against her folds, then up and around, skipping lightly over her clit then back down the inside of her thigh.

Faith's head was thrown back on the pillow, her breath coming in short little pants. She was whimpering with need, her whole body was throbbing, her insides clutching, quivering. Then Buffy's fingertips lightly brushed over her clit again and Faith arched up out of the water, seeking Buffy's touch, which was already gone.

"B! Please! Can't take it anymore..." Buffy ignored her, lowering Faith's leg and bringing her other one up to replace it.

She switched the sponge to the other hand and ran it up the inside of the lowered leg to finally come to rest on the Dark Slayer's core not moving, and Faith once again arched up out of the water rising herself into the sponge, desperate now for any kind of pressure.

"Ohgodohgodplease," she mumbled, whimpered, pleaded.

Buffy stroked the sponge, once, twice over the Faith's slick center, and then over and under her thigh to the outside, her other hand trailing close behind. Her fingers thrust once quickly into the Dark Slayer and then were just as quickly gone.

"Cruel. You're cruel, B." Faith moaned. She didn't know how much longer she could take this, Buffy had been teasing her for god onlew hew how long, but it felt like days.

Faith tried to sit up again only to be pushed gently back down. Buffy dropped the sponge into the water and slid her hand up to Faith's ankle, brought it up and placed it on her shoulder. She leaned down towards Faith as Faith's leg hooked over her shoulder, and began torturing her breasts again.

Faith clutched Buffy's head to her thrusting her breast harder into Buffy's mouth. She was keening under her breath, moaning low in her throat, almost growlingBuffBuffy. Her hips were bucking up trying to get any kind of pressure on her core, but Buffy was still withholding herself from her. Buffy was flicking her tongue rapidly back and forth over her nipple and it was sending an electric bolt straight to her core, with each flick of Buffy's tongue.

Then Buffy was sliding up her body, her breasts blazing a trail, rubbing over Faith's and then her mouth was on her again. Faith's own thigh was pressed against her chest, witr frr free hand she held Buffy to her tightly, rubbing her breasts against Buffy's desperate for any kind of contact. Her hip rhythmically pushing up into Buffy, but it wasn't enough.

Faith sucked Buffy's tongue into her mouth, moaning Buffy's name. Buffy's mouth went wild on hers, her tongue took possession of her mouth, dominating the wet, wide-open kiss. Exploring every inch of Faith's mouth, grazing her teeth, her gums, pulling back to run her tongue along Faith's lips again, then kissing along her jaw line and up to Faith's ear, grabbing her lobe between her teeth and biting it.

"Easy baby..." Buffy whispered low in her ear, sending a shudder through Faith.

Buffy leaned back, sitting on her calves, she started running her hands over Faith's body again in random patterns, never staying anywhere for too long. Using light touches, then rough, sometimes the whole of her hands, sometimes just her fingertips, her nails. Over Faith's arms, her breasts, her neck, her face, her legs, her slick hot center, her clit, and Faith began to tremble, as Buffy teased and tormented her.

"TouchmeBpleaseohplease..." Faith began chanting under her breath between gasps.

Finally, Buffy's hand came to rest against her core and again Faith surged up out of the water hard against her hand, her leg falling off Buffy's shoulder.

Buffy's fingers moved excrucigly gly slow, and so lightly over Faith's slick center, along the folds of her core, tracing along the outside of them over and around her clit. Thrusting shallowly into the Dark Slayer who bucked again tryto gto get Buffy's fingers in her deeper.

There was a raging inferno streaking through every cell of Faith's body, her skin oversensitive to even the movement of the water flowing around her. No one had ever made her feel like this before, even Buffy. Buffy brought her up the crest, holding her there. Then Buffy eased her back down. Teasing her, taking her up the hill again then back down. Her fingers never stopped their exploration, thrusting shallowly, her other hand on Faith's stomach keeping her from bucking up to high, and getting her fingers in her deeper. The fire in the pit of Faith's stomach continued to build, spreading and fanning out to every part of her body.

Buffy watched Faith, bringing her up to the edge over and over, but denying her release. She was getting those echoes of Faith's sensations again, and Buffy rose with her each time. Gently she thrust one finger into the Dark Slayer and felt her walls clutch tightly around her.

"Beeeeeeeeee! Oh God!"

Buffy started a slow and steady rhythm, building up the tension in Faith again. Cooing to her, knowing this wasn't enough to send her over, keeping her there on the brink.

"Sssh... not yet, baby..." Buffy whispered to her stopping the motion of her hand.

"I can't B.... I can't..."

"Yes you can..." Then Buffy started up the rhythm again adding another finger, as Faith's hips kept pace with her...

"Can't take anymore. Bohgodohgodpleasecan'ttakeit..." The hand on Faith's stomach slid down stopping just above Faith's curls.

Buffy's slid her fingers out of Faith, and started teasing her again running them along her folds, while her other hand, her fingers slid down and brushed lightly so lightly along the length of Faith's clit. Faith's heart was beating frantically, as the fire in her continued to get hotter, scorching her...

Steadily Buffy applied pressure to the Dark Slayer's clit. She thrust three finger into Faith hard and deep, her other hand circling her clit pressing down harder. As Faith's hips rose up and she pushed herself harder onto Buffy's thrusting fingers. Buffy plunged her fingers into Faith faster, pinching her clit, catching it between her fingers sliding her fingers over and around it.

"B! God I...can't... BBBBB I'm gonna.... OHGODBOHGODBBBBB!"

Buffy felt the first contraction around her fingers as Faith's orgasm hit her. She went wild on the on the Dark Slayer's center as Faith screamed out her name thrashing.

Faith's orgasm overtook her like a tornado she felt it with every part of her body and Buffy went wild on her, dragging it out and when it was starting to slow Faith felt Buffy's fingers curled up inside her searching for and finding her sweet spot.

When she felt Faith's orgasm begin to ebb, she curled her fingers up and found Faith's sweet spot, circling it, feeling it swell beneath her fingertips. Her other hand went wild on Faith's clit again, pinching, rubbing, circling, pressing down hard. Then Faith was screaming her name again as Buffy felt the contractions from the second orgasm clench her fingers tightly, and the Dark Slayer trembled from head to toe pushing herself forcefully into, onto Buffy's fingers driving them in deeper, holding them tightly inside her. Buffy stayed with her drawing the climax out until Faith collapsed, her body slowly sinking back down into the water.

Carefully she withdrew her fingers and slid her body up Faith's and gathered her into her arms, holding Faith close to her, pressed up against her chest, pressed to her heart. She smiled softly as Faith's arms came round to hold her tightly to her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They stayed holding each other in the water for a time. Buffy's body screaming in need, Faith lying exhausted against her chest. They had to move sooner or later, though neither of them wanted to.

"Faith?"

"Hmmmm."

"You okay baby? I did't hurt you did I?"

"No! No way. Never felt like this before. No one ever..."

Faith lifted herself from Buffy and looked at that beautiful face. She didn't know if she could even explain to her how she had made her feel. No one had ever made her feel like that. No one had even come close. Not even Buffy. No one had ever been that unselfish with her before. Always before, it had been about getting off and getting gone. Even between them before it had only been about that. Yes, they had teased each other but it had been different, Faith couldn't explain it but different. For the first time ever Faith had come close to actually giving up complete and total control to someone else. Almost releasing that part of herself that she still kept safely locked away, since she was very young, even just now with Buffy. But after this she didn't know if she would be able to again, and for the first time Faith actually thought that she could give up that control and take the final steps in giving Bufer cer complete trust.

"I'm hungry. How about you?"

Faith just nodded at Buffy, still trying to sort out all she was feeling. Buffy drew her up out of the water, releasing the plug from the drain first. Holding Faith to her as the water drained around them. Releasing Faith from her embrace Buffy turned on the water once again then switched it to the showerhead so they could rinse the soap and the bath oil from their bodies.

Faith came up behind Buffy when she straightened back up, embracing her from behind. Buffy leaned back into her, despite herself her body trembled and shuddered as she felt the full length of Faith's body pressing into her from behind. Faith rubbed her breasts against Buffy's back and incredibly, felt herself getting wet, as the passion rose up in her again. She felt Buffy trembling in her arms, and got one of those odd little echoes from Buffy, the heat, the desire, the lust Buffy was feeling for her, the fact that Buffy was painfully close to going over the edge just from the feel of her pressed into her back. The echoes of emotions that she'd been getting, and that Buffy had been getting from her over the last week were more than just their Slayer connection, but Faith was distracted from dwelling on it by the quivering golden-haired Slayer in her arms. There would be plenty of time later; right now there was something else, someone else, which required her attention.

Buffy's knees almost give out on her as Faith slid her hands up from her waist to capture her breasts. Her fingers sliding up and around the aureoles that surround her nipples, glancing over them in an almost casual way. Her head fell back upon the Dark Slayer's shoulder and Faith was quick to take advantage of her exposed throat. The feel of Faith's mouth hot and wet as it slid along her throat making her moan low and long. Buffy could feel her own wetness dripping down the insides of her thighs. Touching and teasing Faith for so long was a double edge sword. Touching Faith had excited Buffy almost as much as it had excited Faith, and that odd sharing of emotions, sensations that was happening between them only added to that excitement.

Faith's hands were tormenting her nipples, rolling them between her fingers, tugging on them, flicking her fingers across them, sometimes roughly, sometimes with almost nonexistent touches. Her mouth on Buffy's neck and throat, sliding her tongue down to her pulse point, sucking it, biting, nipping, scraping her teeth along it. She shifted Buffy slightly so now the pulsating spray of the showerhead added its caress to Faith's roaming hands. The water beat down on Buffy's neck, chest, breasts, and stomach. The warmth of it and Faith's hands sending currents of electricity throughout her body.

Buffy pressed herself back harder into Faith's body, one of her hands reaching behind her to run the length of Faith's thigh. She was panting like she had just run a marathon, her whole body quivering in need. Her insides clutching convulsively, she needed Faith to touch her. She doubted it would take more than a touch or two of Faith's hand upon her center for her to go headlong over the edge.

"Faith please..." already pleading.

Buffy felt Faith smile against her neck, her own breathing none too even. One hand slid down Buffy's stomach to rest just above the curls that hid her sex. Shean tan to rotate her hips in a circular motion from behind, with each circular motion the tips of her fingers brushed against the base of Buffy's clit, in a touch that was lighter than air.

With each light touch, Buffy felt an answering pulse in her core, a clutching of her muscles.

Faith's other hand was roaming over Buffy's breasts, neck and stomach. Using her nails, she delicately traced little paths of fire over Buffy's body.

Buffy could feel her excitement coiling tighter and tighter in the pit of her stomach; little shocks of pleasure were running through her body. Even with this light touch, she was close to falling over the edge.

She brought her own hand over Faith's. She intertwined her fingers with Faith's and slowly started to slide both their hands down into her dripping center.

"Jesus B! You're so wet!" Faith groaned out and watched with fascination as bof thf their hands moved into Buffy's slick center. Faith felt her own desire begin to drip down the insides of her thighs. At the rate they were going, they would never leave the bathroom.

"Faith! God baby!" Buffy moaned and surged up hard into both of their hands. She slid her other hand behind her and in between their bodies, finding without a problem Faith's own hot core. She let out another moan upon feeling just how wet Faith was too.

Buffy was guiding Faith's hand upon her, while her other hand duplid exd exactly what she and Faith were both doing to her own core.

Buffy slid both their hands further into her center, pressing both their fingers into her, with her other hand she pressed her thumb into Faith's clit starting a quick circular motion. Moaning as she felt Faith duplicate it upon her own clit, as she felt Faith driving harder into her hand from behind, Faith's breathing hot and erratic in her ear.

Buffy slid her hand away from Faith's running up to caress her arm, as Faith plunged her fingers into her. She thought briefly about turning around but the thought flew from her mind as Faith's fingers ran along her dripping slit to her clit capturing it, running along its length, flicking, stroking.

"YES! Right there! Don't stop!" Buffy was driving into Faith's hand as hard as she could, with her free hand she reached out, placing it on the marble wall.

Her other hand became rougher on Faith's clit, her wrist, hand beginning to hurt from this odd angle they had managed to get themselves into. Faith was chanting her name under her breath, driving herself into Buffy's hand for all she was worth, incredulous that she could feel this way again so soon after the two previous earth-shattering orgasms Buffy had given her.

"Faith... baby oh god... I'm gonnacumFaithdon'tstop..." Buffy chanted between pants.

Her orgasm hit her hard and fast, overtaking her like a freight train. She let out a high-pitched scream, as Faith held onto her tightly around the waist as her whole body convulsed. Faith's finger pinching, pressing harder into her clit, milking Buffy's climax, slamming her own hips harder into Buffy's hand, grinding herself against Buffy's fingers on her clit. At the same time, getting those muffled echoed sensations of Buffy's orgasm, and she felt herself climaxing around those fingers and with Buffy, feeling the intensity of both her own orgasm and the echo of Buffy's at the same time. Groaning out Buffy's name as the fire raced through her. Holding them both up as she felt Buffy's legs give out.
