Willow was sitting on her bed, while Kevin sat in her desk chair. Dawn leaned back against her desk and watched Buffy pacing. Buffy stopped and looked at her sister. “You’re sure you haven’t found any other way to do this?” “Not even a hint of a way,” said Dawn. “And you’re sure you’ve got a spell that will work?” Buffy asked Willow. “Ninety-nine percent,” said Willow. “We still haven’t run it past Althenea.” “And when do we do it?” asked Buffy. “It has to be on the winter solstice,” said Willow. She consulted her notes. “Which is at 1:14 UTC on the twenty-second.” “And what’s that for regular folkdquodquo; asked Buffy. “December 21, at 9:14 PM,” said Kevin. “We have to time it to the minute?” asked Dawn. “No,” said Willow. “Fifteen minutes either way should be good enough, but the closer the better.” “Oood.ood.” Dawn smiled at Kevin. “I don’t think our control is that good.” “So we’ve got three weeks to get ready for this,” said Buffy, “if we’re going to do it.” “Yes,” said Willow. “And how long will it take Althenea to check it?” “A couple of days.” “Okay,” said Buffy. “If this spell fails…how will it fail? Will it just go kaput, and not do anything, or will it leave a smoking crater where the house used to be?” “Most likely…kaput,” said Willow. “There’s a chance of some injuries to the participants, but it will most likely either work, or not.” “What sort of injuries?” “Hard to say. We’ve never released the power of the Key before…we don’t really know what it may do to Dawn, and Kevin’s going to be right there with her. They’re facing the greatest risk. There’s a lesser risk to me, Xander and Anya. “The most likely way for this to go wrong…well…it’s…um…” “Kevin and I don’t come on schedule,” said Dawn. Willow blushed. “Um…yeah…coordinated orgasms are well…essential to this working. If that doesn’t happen, then the spell will just go kaput. If they do come together, at the right time in the ritual, the power of the Key should be released…but we don’t really know what that will do to Dawn.” “I’m willing to take the risk,” said Dawn. “I still don’t like it,” said Buffy. “Fine, don’t like it, but Willow isn’t the only one with a resolve face. I’m doing this.” Dawn crossed her arms across her chest, and glared at her sister. Buffy glared back for a few seconds. Then she threw her hands up in the air. “Fine! We’ll do it! But I still want you to keep looking for alternatives. We’ve got three weeks still, and Willow: you and Giles go over the spell again. Look for anything that can go wrong. Don’t show it to Althenea until a week before we do it. That should give her plenty of time, right?” “Yeah, she shouldn’t need more than a couple of days.” “So, what do we need to do to get ready for this?” asked Buffy. “Um…we’re going to have to tell Xander and Anya,” said Willow. “I don’t think Anya will be a problem, but Xander…” Everyone cringed as they imagined what Xander’s reaction to this spell was likely to be like. “We’ll just have to find a way to break it to him gently,” said Buffy, “and maybe be ready to restrain him if he turns violent.” “There is another thing…” said Willow. Her eyes were on Dawn’s bedside table. “What?” asked Dawn. She looked at the table herself. There wasn’t anything unusual there. A lamp, her alarm clock, a box of tissues, a few condom packets. “Um, this spell, well it uses Kevin’s life force to release the Key, and the conduit for that life force is his, um, well, it’s his, um…” “Orgasm.” said Kevin. “Not just that,” said Willow. “It’s the physical manifestation of your orgasm, passing from you into Dawn.” “His semen,” said Dawn. “Yes,” said Willow. “And, um, there can’t be anything blocking it.” “No condom,” said Buffy. “Right,” said Willow. “Well, that’s okay,” said Dawn. “I’m still on the pill, and neither of us has any dread diseases.” She looked at Kevin and smiled. “You don’t have any dread diseases, right?” “Worst disease I’ve had was the mumps, when I was five,” said Kevin. “Okay…so it’s not really a problem, right?” Dawn looked back and forth between Buffy and Willow. She could tell that Buffy wasn’t feeling too happy about this…no doubt adding the slight extra risk of aunthood to her list of reasons not to do this spell. “Um…there is another spell,” said Willow. “Another way to get rid of the Orb?” asked Buffy. “Why didn’t you say so?” “No, not the Orb,” said Willow. “It’s a magic prophylactic spell. Remember, I taught it to you while you were with Riley.” “Oh,” said Buffy. “That spell.” “There’s a spell for that?” asked Dawn. “Why didn’t you say anything sooner?” “It has a few downsides,” said Willow. Buffy rolled her eyes. “Yeah…one or two.” “What’s the spell?” asked Dawn. “Okay…I found it while I was with Oz,” said Willow. “We had an accident with a broken condom, and well, since there are a few cases where it seems that lycanthropy was transmitted sexually, he got scared, and wasn’t going to do it any more…so I found this spell. A magical protection from both pregnancy and disease. You and your partner do it together once a month, and you’re good to go.” “Okay, so what are the downsides?” asked Dawn. “First of all…if the spell works, you spend the next half hour fucking your brains out.” Kevin tried not to smile. “That doesn’t sound like a downside to me.” Buffy looked at him, and then at her sister. Dawn was trying to suppress a smile too. “Has Dawn told you the difference between making love and fucking?” She saw Kevin nod. “Willow meant fucking. There will be absolutely no cderaderation for your partner in what you will be doing.” “Oh,” said Kevin. Buffy saw that he and Dawn were both absorbing the meaning of that. “And it will be the most…unsatisfying fucking of your life,” said Willow. “And once it’s over, you probably won’t want to touch each other for a couple of days.” “It took Riley a week to recover, the one time we did it,” said Buffy. “I cracked a couple of his ribs. Neither of us noticed until it was all over.” “A week?” asked Dawn. “Yeah…but you guys don’t have to worry about what unbridled lust coupled with Slayer strength can do to a guy,” said Willow. “With me and Oz, it just took a couple of days.” “Uh…we’ll have to think about it a bit,” said Dawn. “Good,” said Buffy. “Think about it. I’m not going to tell you not to do it, but I will advise against it. I don’t think it’s worth it.” “You did it so you wouldn’t have to use condoms, right?” asked Dawn. Buffy nodded. “Well, it looks like Kevin and I aren’t going to be using condoms for the next three weeks anyway.” “But you don’t have to do that until the…oh.” “Right,” said Dawn. “If the first time we go gloveless is when we do the actual spell, I very much doubt if we’ll have the control necessary to pull this off, and we won’t be able to try again for another year.” She looked at Willow. “Right?” Willow blushed. “Well, if the problem is that he comes too soon…we might get two shots at this…from what I’ve heard from you guys before we got the silencing spell set up.” --- “Naked?” asked Xander. “That’s right,” said Willow. “All of us?” “Uh-huh.” “You, and me, and Ahn while they…” Xander waved toward Dawn and Kevin. “…right in front of us?” “That’s pretty much the what of it,” said Buffy. “And what will you be doing while all this nakedness is going on?” asked Xander.” “I’ll be sitting down here, trying not to think about what you guys are all doing up there.” “You really want us to do this?” asked Xander. “No, I don’t want you to do this,” said Buffy. “None of us really wants to do this, but it seems to be the only way to permanently eliminate the threat from the Orb of Kauket.” “And it has to be me and Ahn?” “Well, no,” said Dawn. “We could get Giles to substitute for you, and Buffy for Anya…but the idea of doing it in front of them weirds me out even more than the idea of doing it in front of you.” She looked at Kevin. “Or, hey! We could get Dave and Janice! They’ve seen us naked, and they were practically doing it in front of us!” “Whoa! Whoa! What are you talking about?” asked Buffy. “Oh, um, a couple of weeks ago Dave dared us into a game of strip pool, and we lost,” said Dawn. “How come we never played strip pool?” Anya asked Xander. “Because we didn’t have a pool table,” said Xander. “There are lots of tables in the Bronze.” “Ahn, remember rule number one: no public nakedness. It’s right there in front of rule number two: no nakedness in front of our friends…which it looks like we are about to throw right out the window.” He looked at Willow again. “Completely naked? We can’t havendfondfolds or something?” “Sorry Xand, no blindfolds,” said Willow. “You can keep your eyes closed though.” Dawn looked at Willow. “Right? You guys can all keep your eyes closed?” “Xander and Anya can,” said Willow. “I’m going to have to be able to see what’s going on, for at least part of the ceremony.” “I guess I’ll have to,” said Xander. “But you like watching people have sex,” said Anya. “We’d watch all those videos, and then try what the people in them were doing.” Several pairs of eyes in the room focused on Xander. “Ahn, that is another one of the things that you aren’t supposed to talk about, remember?” Anya ignored him. “And I know you find Willow attractive. It was you and Willow that brought me to Sunnydale in the first place!” “Ahn!” “And Dawn is very attractive too! I know that you enjoyed watching girls in those videos with similar body types!” “Anya, stop!” Xander took a deep breath and looked around at the faces of his friends, trying to read their expressions. Willow was looking amused. He wasn’t sure what he was seeing on Buffy’s face, but it made him feel uncomfortable…like she was thinking of maybe cutting parts off him. “Yes, I think Willow is beautiful, but she’s my friend. My best friend, and I don’t think of her that way any more, and Dawn…in the abstract, yes, she is beautiful too, but she’s like a sister to me. The thought of her…well let’s just say that I have to put down an urge to castrate Kevin at least once a week.” “Xander!” cried Dawn. “Sorry Dawnie,” said Xander, “but that’s the way I feel. Hey, it’s gotten better though.” He fixed Kevin with his gaze. “I used to have to put down the urge every time I laid eyes on you, but the thought of this spell definitely isn’t helping.” “Uh, right,” said Kevin. “Can I say that none of this was my idea?” “Not helping,” said Xander. --- Dawn and Kevin sat facing each other on a sheet laid out on the floor in her room. Four candles burned at the corners of it. “Are you sure you want to do this?” asked Kevin. “I’m sure,” said Dawn. “We’re both adults…well almost adults, and we know the consequences, and the risks, and I think we can deal with them. We can deal with them, right?” “Right!” said Kevin, trying to sound a lot surer than he felt. “Right!” said Dawn. “Okay, we’ve got the marnox root, and the sage, and the burba weed and the other stuff all mixed up already.” She smiled at Kevin. “We just need the last four ingredients. You ready?” “I think you can see that I’m ready,”d Ked Kevin. Dawn smiled. She certainly could. They were both naked, and Kevin’s cock was standing at attention. She reached out to take hold of it, and slowly started to stroke it. “Oh yeah!” said Kevin. “God, if I knew that doing magic was like this, I’d have started sooner!” Dawn smiled at him. “It gets better!” She leaned down and took the head of his cock into her mouth. “Oh god!” Kevin leaned back, supporting himself on his hands. “Oh yeah! Like that!” Dawn kept stroking and sucking while Kevin brought a hand up to take hold of her head. “Oh god! Suck me!” Dawn sucked him. She slid her lips down the length of his cock, and pulled back. She circled her tongue around its head, and then sucked its length back into her mouth. She kept stroking his cock while she sucked, and she cupped his balls with her other hand. Kevin tightened his grip on Dawn’s head. He moved his other hand over her hand on his cock. One fist clenched in her hair while the other clenched over her hand. He squeezed, and took control of her motion, setting the pace of her hand and her mouth. He groaned as his cock erupted into her mouth. Dawn pulled away from Kevin’s cock and leaned over their bowl of ingredients. She spit his semen out into it. “Okay, that’s two. Your cum, and my spit.” She smiled and held the bowl up in front of him. “Time for number three.” Kevin spit into the bowl. Dawn smiled. “Okay…one to go.” She moved herself closer to Kevin and kissed him. Her legs wrapped around his waist. Kevin could taste himself on Dawn’s lips as his fingers slipped into her pussy. He curled them inside her and felt her groan of pleasure. He uncurled and curled his fingers again while his thumb found her clit and circled around it. Dawn’s tongue pressed itself into Kevin’s mouth as his fingers pressed into her cunt. She felt them curling, pressing against her g-spot as his thumb rubbed clitclit. She moaned, and felt his other hand come up to clutch at the back of her head, and pull her tighter against him. Dawn felt Kevin’s fingers inside her, curling and uncurling. She pumped her hips, pressing herself against his hand. Her muscles tensed, tightening around him. She felt his thumb pressing against her clit and shuddered. She wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly as she came on his fingers. Kevin withdrew his dripping fingers from her pussy. Dawn guided them over to the bowl with the rest of their ingredients and dropped them into it. He stirred the mixture with his fingers. Kevin removed his fingers from the bowl when he was finished stirring. He wiped them on a tissue. “Okay, now what?” Dawn pulled herself a little bit away from Kevin. They sat facing each other on the sheet, with their legs crossed. “Now we do the spell.” She poured the mixture into two small glasses. “We say the words, and drink the potion.” “We have to drink it?” Kevin didn’t sound like he was looking forward to that. “Yeah, gross, I know…but really when you think about it, there’s nothing in there that you haven’t had in your mouth before…except maybe the marnox root and burba weed…I don’t know of any recipes that use them, but the sage and the other things are pretty common spices, and we’ve swapped lots of spit, and you’ve licked me, and licked your cum off of me…so nothing new there.” Kevin took a deep breath. “Okay, I can do this.” “Are you sure?” asked Dawn. “We don’t have to.” Kevin’s mouth crooked into a half smile. “I’m less ready for fatherhood than Buffy is for auntdom.” “Someday, I think you’ll make a terrific father,” said Dawn. “Someday!” said Kevin. “Someday a long time from now. Someday after we’ve graduated from university.” Dawn smiled at him. She’d heard that ‘we.’ She wondered if Kevin had even noticed that he’d said it, but Kevin was right: parenthood could wait a long time for both of them. “Alright, are you ready?” She raised her glass. Kevin picked his up too. “Ready.” Dawn nodded at him. “Makosh hear me!” “Svarog hear me!” said Kevin. They started to speak together. We ask for your protection, We ask for your blessing! We make our offering to you! Let not our union bear fruit! They both lifted their glasses to their mouths, and tossed back their contents. Kevin struggled not to gag as the thick liquid entered his mouth. ‘Nothing you haven’t tasted before,’ he reminded himself. He swallowed. Kevin sat for a moment, feeling a little queasy. He knew that throwing up right now would probably spoil the whole spell. He took some deep breaths, trying to purge the thought of what he’d just swallowed from his mind. He remembered what Willow and Buffy had told him about this spell…what would happen if it worked. He didn’t seem to feel anything, other than his stomach doing flip-flops. He looked at Dawn, sitting in front of him. His eyes moved down to her tits, and from there to her cunt. He became aware that his cock was rock hard, and that he had to do something about it. He was moving before he knew it, pushing Dawn over onto her back, driving himself into her. He took her there on the floor. Dawn pulled Kevin hard against her. She needed this. She needed his cock pounding into her. She held him between her thighs and pumped her hips, feeling him inside her. She needed more. Kevin grunted as he thrust against Dawn. His cock ached. He had to come. He kept pounding into her, pushing himself to a cusp that refused to come. He pressed harder. Dawn tightened herself around Kevin’s cock, rocking her hips, pulling him harder and faster into herself with her legs. She had to come. She grunted as he pounded into her, rising toward an orgasm that kept receding whenever she felt it was in reach. She screamed in frustration, and raked her nails across Kevin’s back. Kevin felt Dawn’s fingernails scoring his back, and it inflamed him even more. He pounded harder, driving his cock into her pussy. He could feel that he was rubbing himself raw, but he didn’t care. He had to do this. He had to come. Dawn ignored the pain that was growing in her cunt. She had to come. She pushed her hand down between her and Kevin’s bodies, and started to rub at her clit with her fingers. If Kevin’s cock couldn’t do it for her, she’d do it for herself! Dawn and Kevin lay rutting on her floor, like a pair of animals. The only sounds they made were meaningless cries and grunts, accompanying the slurps and slaps of his cock pounding her pussy. As suddenly as it had started, it stopped. It passed between one thrust, and the next. One instant the only thing on Kevin’s mind was getting himself off, and the next… Kevin pulled himself away from Dawn, and scrambled back across the floor of her room. “Oh, god Dawn! I’m sorry!” Dawn had pulled herself back too. She tried to cover herself with her hands, for the first time in months, not wanting Kevin to look at her. “Oh god!” Their eyes met for a moment, both of them taking in the look of horror in the other’s face, and then looking away. Kevin looked around desperately. He saw Dawn’s kimono, and grabbed it. He held it out toward her. “Here, take this.” Dawn reached out, and for an instant their hands touched. Kevin jerked his hand away so suddenly that the kimono fell to the floor between them. He gathered up the sheet they’d been…fucking…on around himself as Dawn picked up her kimono. He looked at her. “Dawn, I…” “Don’t!” Dawn pulled the kimono closed around her. “Don’t say you’re sorry…we were warned…we both decided to do this anyway…that was…I don’t have anything to compare that to.” “I know,” said Kevin. “It was…indescribable.” Dawn looked at Kevin. She saw the streaks of sweat running down his face. She felt her own sweat cooling on her body. She felt dirty. “I need a shower.” Kevin looked at her for a moment, and Dawn was afraid that he was going to want to come shower with her. “Go ahead.” He looked away from her. “Ladies first.” Dawn suddenly felt even worse…she didn’t want to shower with him…but they always did, when they had the chance. What had this done to them? Had they destroyed the trust they had in each other? She thought about that for a moment, and decided that whatever she was feeling now, she still trusted Kevin. “Come with me,” she said. Kevin’s eyes came back up, and locked with hers. “You want to?” “Yes,” said Dawn. “I want to have a shower with you.” Kevin nodded in understanding. They were showering together. The other play that usually happened in the shower wasn’t haing ing tonight. For the first time since they had started the spell, he smiled at her. “Okay, let’s go shower.” They moved into the bathroom together, and got into the shower without touching, or barely looking at one another. They took turns under the water, soaking themselves down, and handing the soap back and forth as they cleaned themselves. Dawn was reaching around, trying to run the washcloth up her back when she felt Kevin’s hands touch her. “Here, let me,” he said softly. She stiffened for a moment, but then she let him take the washcloth. He slowly rubbed it over her back, across the hard to reach spot between her shoulder blades. He gently passed the cloth over the bruises he could see there, and felt ashamed that he was the cause of them. He only did the portion of her back that it was hard for her to reach herself. When he was done she turned around to face him. He handed her the cloth and turned his back to her, to let her clean it for him. She saw the scratches she had left on it. They returned to her room. Neither of them said anything as they got dressed. Dawn noticed that Kevin winced a bit as he pulled on his briefs. She’d seen that his cock had been rubbed raw in parts. She could feel that she’d been rubbed raw too. Dawn escorted Kevin downstairs. He got his jacket, and opened the door. He paused in it, turning back toward her. “Goodnightquo;quo; “Goodnight Kevin.” Dawn’s lips brushed across his. She thought that she’d gotten more passionate kisses from Buffy. “I love you,” she said softly. “I love you, Dawn,” whispered Kevin. His eyes looked into hers for a moment, and then he was gone. Dawn closed the door. She moved into the living room, and looked at Willow and Buffy, sitting on the sofa, watching the TV. “A couple of days, huh?” Willow looked up at her, a sad smile on her face. “That’s what it usually took for Oz and me.” --- Dawn awoke the next morning feeling stiff and sore. She hadn’t really slept much at all that night. She wanted to stay in bed. It took threats from Buffy to make her get up. Fortunately her stomach wasn’t feeling like it could hold down any breakfast, so she was ready to leave for school when Kevin rang the doorbell. She opened the door, and looked at him standing on the front porch. He almost smiled at her. “You look like I feel.” “That bad, huh?” asked Dawn. She could see the dark rings under his eyes, and his unusually pale skin…if he hadn’t been standing in the sunlight, she might have suspected that he’d run into a vampire and got turned on his way home last night. Kevin looked Dawn over and saw she had her school bag in her hand. “You ready to go?” “Yep.” Dawn looked back into the house. “Bye Buffy! See you this afternoon!” She didn’t wait for a reply as she stepped out of the house and closed the door. Kevin almost put his arm around Dawn as they moved down off the porch. He started to reach out for her, but then he let his arm drop back down to his side before he touched her. --- “Did you and Kevin have a fight?” asked Janice. They were alone together in the school washroom. “No!” said Dawn. “What makes you ask that?” “You aren’t as touchy with each other as you usually…well always are,” said Janice. “I haven’t seen a hug or a kiss all day.” “It’s not because of a fight,” said Dawn. “It’s…something else.” “What?” “You don’t need to know.” --- Dave was having a similar conversa wit with Kevin in the corridor. “It’s none of your business!” said Kevin. Janice and Dawme bme back out of the washroom. Dave looked at his girlfriend with a question in his eyes. She just shrugged and gave an almost imperceptible shake of her head. They both watched as Dawn smiled at Kevin, stepped up to him, and brushed her lips across his. Neither of them was fooled though. They saw that Kevin and Dawn didn’t hold each other while they kissed, and how quickly they pulled apart again. Dawn turned toward them. “So, are we Bronzing tonight?” --- Janice watched Kevin and Dawn on the dance floor, still trying to figure out what was up with them. They were still talking with each other as much as usual…if not more, since they weren’t stopping their conversations to sneak off for a bit of necking and groping every five minutes. There was less sexual innuendo in their conversations now, and when she or Dave said something suggestive, Dawn and Kevin’s reactions were different from what they had been. The sly smiles were gone. Now they just looked uncomfortable. A couple of days ago, dancing to this song, Dawn had been plastered right up against Kevin. Tonight they were a couple of feet apart, sometimes letting their hands touch. There wasn’t the hunger in their eyes that she was used to seeing when they looked at each other. The song ended, and a new one—a slower one—started. Most of the couples on the dance floor who hadn’t already been dancing closely with each other moved themselves together. Dawn and Kevin looked at each other for a moment, and then with slightly sad smiles turned, and walked together off the floor, and back to the table at which Janice and Dave were waiting. Janice was pleased to see their hands brush against each other though. Dawn and Kevin took their seats. She sipped on her 7UP. “So what’s up with you guys?” “We’re still trying to figure out what’s up with you guys,” said Janice. “There’s nothing up with us!” said Dawn. --- Kevin walked Dawn home. They stood together on her porch, looking at each other. “So how are you feeling?” asked Kevin. “I’m feeling…better.” Dawn leaned forward and kissed him. “See…doesn’t feel like I’m kissing my brother anymore.” Kevin smiled. “More like kissing a cousin.” His lips met hers again. “Maybe a second cousin.” Dawn gave him a hug. “First cousins once removed.” “So I guess this is the part where I say, ‘goodnight, see you in the morning.’” “I guess,” said Dawn. “Goodnight.” “‘Night,” said Kevin. He kissed her. “See you in the morning.” Dawn watched Kevink awk away toward his home, and then she turned and went into her own. Buffy was waiting in the living room. “So, how’s it going?” “It’s going…okay,” said Dawn. “You sure?” asked Buffy. “Yeah,” said Dawn. “I’m feeling better, and so’s Kevin.” Buffy smiled at her. “I’m glad.” “So, are you going to be out Friday night?” asked Dawn.
