Undoing the Laces

Chapter 1- Calling Me Home


Wait a minute baby...
Stay with me awhile
Said you'd give me light
But you never told be about the fire
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for
When you build your house
Call me home
And he was just like a great dark wing
Within the wings of a storm
I think I had met my match, he was singing
And undoing the laces
Undoing the laces
You're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for
But when you build your house call me home
--Fleetwood Mac, "Sara"

Buffy Anne Summers passed the "Welcome to Sunnydale" sign and took a deep breath.

"Home Sweet Home. You can do this, Buffy" she said aloud to herself.

She turned onto University Drive before she got to town which would lead her to UC Sunnydale, her new home for the next few years at least while she completed her graduate studies for Criminal Justice. She was transferring from UCLA despite the horror her friends and family presented her with when she told them her planhey hey had all scoffed at her choice of a "lesser" school for her Master's Degree especially her mother, Joyce. Of course, her concerns had nothing to do with Buffy's schooling. She pleaded with Buffy to reconsider but Buffy held firm. She wanted to go back to Sunnydale. She wanted to go back to "Him". It had been too long. Joyce had tearfully watched her eldest daughter drive away fearing only the worst was in store for her.

Buffy's thoughts returned to the present as the university came into view. Her heartbeped ped up and she pulled over to the side of the road. She picked up a campus map she had in a folder on the passenger seat next to her and scanned it for Selder Apartments, the living quarters for graduate students. She glanced at a piece of notebook paper. A single name and apartment number written in her girlish scroll.

Buffy pulled back out onto the road and drove a few blocks more then turned into a parking lot. She stared up at the recently built graduate student apartment building. It was a mix of old Spanish style and modern technology. Impressive. She parked her car and sat a few moments gathering herself. She got out of her car and taking only her purse, she walked to the building and entered the lobby. She pressed the button for apartment 313 to be buzzed in.

An unfamilar voice came over the intercom, "Yeah?"

"I'm here to see William. Is he in?" Buffy said barely above a whisper.

"Uh...William Giles?" the intercom voice said in wonder.

"Yes, William Giles." Buffy answered.

"Hey...Riley..you'll never believe it..there's a chick here to see Willy!" she heard the voice say.

"Seriously? No way! A "real" chick? He have some long lost sister or cousin, maybe?" a different voice said.

"Um..excuse me..is William there or not?" Buffy said beginning to get frustrated.

"Parker, you dumbass, you left the intercom on. She can hear us. Uhh..sorry honey...yeah, he is here. We'll buzz you up." came the second voice.

Buffy heard a soft buzz and the door lock clicked. She opened it and went to the elevator and pressed the button for the third floor. Buffy stepped out of the elevator and walked down the hall, 309, 311....ah, here we are, 313. She took one last deep breath and raised her hand to knock but before she could do so, the door flew open to reveal a couple of hooligan frat boys wrestling with each other to get a glimpse of her first.

"You really ARE a real girl!" Riley exclaimed.

"Umm..yeah, my whole life actually" Buffy said annoyed.

"What's a girl like you doing looking for William?" Parker looked her up and down appreciatively.

"Please...can I just talk to Willia..." Buffy began again, clearly agitated and confused at this point until from behind Dumb and Dumber she saw him. Her William. She could see the emotions cross his face upon seeing her.

"Buffy?" he finally said, softly.

Buffy dropped her purse and pushed her way past Riley and Parker. She ran into William's arms and kissed him firmly on the lips. William's arms instinctively came up and enfolded her in an embrace.

Riley and Parker's jaws dropped.

"Well, I don't think she is his sister", Parker said.

"And apparently Willy isn't gay after all" Riley replied.

"Fuck me NOW", Buffy panted into William's mouth.

"Buffy...Bloody Hell..." William groaned as she pressed her body to his. It wasn't supposed to be this way. Not anymore. Not after all this time. All these years. He couldn't. He shouldn't.

God, it had been so long.

William picked Buffy up and carried her into his bedroom, slamming the door behind them.

Riley and Parker managed to pick their jaws up off the floor after several long moments.

"Whoa, dude" Parker finally said.

"That's just not right" Riley responded.

"What's not right?" a tall dark and handsome man came through the door to the apartment.

"Hey, Angel. You ready for this? William has a girl. In his room. A GIRL in his ROOM!" Parker grinned.

"Yeah and your point?" Angel said distracted by pulling out his books and papers and setting up his lap top.

"Point? It's only been over 4 years and William has yet to even go on a date with a girl let alone be boinking one! Don't you think it's a little strange?" Riley joined in.

"I really don't care about William's dating habits, now leave me alone. I have work to do." Angel dismissed his two roommates.

Angel, Riley, Parker and William had known each other since their freshman year of college. They had been assigned to a quad dorm room for their first few years and then when they were upper classmen, they opted to move into a quad apartment and now had recently transitioned to the new graduate student apartments.

Angel was the workaholic. He was studying to be a lawyer and interning at a local firm. He worked and he brooded or he brooded about work and that was about it. Riley was a military brat, all braun and no brains. Parker was a self professed Rico Suave. His college major was to see how many girls he could screw before he graduated apparently. William was quiet and kept to himself. He was a good student. A loner. He kept holed up in his room writing or reading mostly. He didn't go out. He didn't date. He went out of his way to avoid women for the most part. His roommates had tried to fix him up several times over the years which he always vehemently protested. Most people just began to assume he was gay, even though he was never seen with men either but people can be stupid, as everyone knows.

Parker and Riley flopped down onto their sofa and began munching on chips and watching some stupid talk show as Angel worked on his computer. A few moments of silence passed and then a piercing moan bordering on a scream was heard, "That's it...you fucking bastard! Do it to me. Make it hurt! JUST DO IT WILLIAM!" came a shrill female voice then a bunch of pounding on the wall,

"Christ, Buffy stop..alright...OK...let me...just...calm down...It's O.K. I'm here...I'm here baby" they heard William say loudly before hysterical sobbing followed and then silence again.

"What the fuck? What kind of kinky ass shit are they into?" Parker said aloud.

Angel, concerned enough to pull away from his computer for a moment, walked to William's door and knocked.

"Sodding hell...." William muttered and then the door was cracked open to reveal a sliver of him to Angel.

"Everything alright? We heard...uhh..screaming..." Angel trailed off.

"Yeah...don't worry about it" William said, opening the door a bit more to his mistake. Angel could see a split lip and black eye beginning to form.

"You sure man? You don't look so good." Angel questioned.

"I'm fine. Nothing I'm not used to. Just leave us alone." With that, William shut the door in Angel's face.

"Now, THAT's strange" Angel muttered to Parker and Riley and then went back to his computer.

Seven Years Ear... ...

I love the way yook aok at me
I feel the pain you place inside
You lock me up inside your dirty cage
Well I'm alone inside my mind
I'd like to teach you all the rules
I get to see them set in stone
I like it when you chain me to the bed
Well then your secrets never show
I need to feel you
You need to feel me
I can't control you
You can't control me
I need to feel you
So why's it even

I love the way you break my skin
I feel the hate you place inside
I need to get your voice out of my head
'Cause I'm the guy you'll never fiind
I think you know all of the rules
Theres no expressions on your face
I hope that someday you will let me go
Release me from my dirty cage

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you
--Puddle of Mudd, "Control"

"William, just do it!" Sixteen year old Buffy Summers panted as she looked over her shoulder at the boy behind her.

She was kneeling on all fours in the back seat of a big black DeSoto, skirt up around her waist and panties pulled down around her knees.

"And make it really hurt this time. Don't hold back" Buffy pressed her bottom back against William's erection.

"Buffy...I really don't want to...please don't make me hurt you..." William said softly.

"Christ, do we have to go through this everytime? Just shove it in my ass and be done with it, alright?" Buffy sighed in exasperation.

"Do you have to be so fucking crude all the time? Can you ever act like a..." William began.

"Act like what, William? A lady? I'm on my hands and knees in the backseat of your car about ready to take your cock up my ass. Are you fucking serious? Jesus, if you won't do it, I'm sure I can find someone else..." Buffy's reply was cut off by the feel of William's cock pushing past her ring of tight muscles.

"That what you want, you little slut?" William panted as he started to ram his cock in and out of Buffy's bo.
.

"Oh God...Yes...Give it to me. Harder. HARDER William!" Buffy moaned.

"That's it bitch. You take it. Every fucking last inch." William grunted.

"Unghhh" Buffy groaned as William pounded into her deep and hard.

"Oh Christ, I'm gonna cum, Buffy" William told her as he felt his balls tighten.

He reached up and grabbed a handful of her hair, pulling her back roughly, the way he knew she liked it triggering her own orgasm.
"William! Yes!" Buffy sed aed as she came.

He followed right behind her, shooting his cum deep in her ass. He collapsed on her back, sweaty and exhausted.

"I love you, Buffy" he said against the back of her neck.

"I love you, William" she responded.

William pulled out of her body and she winced.

"I'm sorry. Are you O.K.? Did I hurt you too bad?" William asked her, concerned.

"No, just sore is all." Buffy replied.

William sat back against the seat and combed his fingers through his hair and watched Buffy straighten herself up to sit next to him. He reached over and stroked her cheek.

"Why do you make me do those things to you?" he asked.

"Don't start, William. It's not like you don't like it too. You always do it. You never stop it from happening.......you've never stopped it from happening..." Buffy looked him in the eye.

He immediately looked away, ashamed, knowing that she was referring to their horrid past.

"Yeah, that's what I thought. Coward." Buffy said and climbed over the seat to the front of the car.

"Fuck you, Buffy." William replied and got out of the car slamming the door. He heard Buffy yell back at him, "You just did fuck me you asshole"

William opened the drivers side door and got it and started the engine.

"Just take me home." Buffy said.

"Fine" William said through clenched teeth.

"Fine" Buffy replied.

William drove them to Revello Drive and pulled up to Buffy's house.

"William....I'm sorry" Buffy said softly.

William just looked straight ahead, refusing to look over at her. He knew he would just be sucked back into her trap if he looked at those eyes of hers.

"William, please look at me" Buffy begged.

Great. Just fucking great, he thought to himself. He looked over and saw the tears forming in her sad eyes.

"Baby, don't cry. It's O.K." he said as he drew her into the circle of his arms.

"I'm sorry. Forgive me. I love you so much." Buffy sobbed.

"I love you too. So bloody much." William responded.

"I'll see you tomorrow then?" Buffy questioned as she pulled away.

"Of course, pet." William smiled as best he could as she got out of the car and walked to her front door.

He watched her go inside and then hung his head down and began to cry.
