We Need Each Other

Part 4-



"Wow. I never even knew this place was here." Buffy said, as she browsed the aisles of the little shop. It was the only comics shop in Sunnydale. "I never knew you liked comics, Faithy."

"Yeah well, we haven't seen each other in a few years, B. I got into `em in prison. Kind of a cool, fantasy break from asshole inmates and guards, ya know?"

Buffy watched her girl scan the titles on the shelf. "So how'd you know this place was here?"

"I saw a sign for it on a billboard, on the way back from LA." Faith said, not looking up from the shelf. "I saw it was in Sunnydale, and I twisted Red's arm a little to make her stop here before we went to the house. They have an awesome backstock, here. This is where I got my Dared #20 #200." She announced proudly.

"Daredevil..the movie?"

Faith looked up and smiled at her. "Uh..it was a comic long before the movie, B. Catch up."

Buffy blushed, at being chided a little bit. "Hey, you gotta give me some time to be up on this stuff."

They searched the shelves for a few minutes, Faith picking out some titles that she was interested in.

"So, you said you wanted to talk." Buffy said.

"Yeah." Faith wasn't sure how to approach the subject, but she'd never been much for tact either. "So what about you and Spike?"

"Um..well." Buffy wasn't sure what to tell. "We had an affair for a few months. But we're both totally over it now."

"You sure about that?"

"Well, yeah baby. I'm totally with you, now. You know that, right?"

Faith looked around, just checking to see if anyone was listening in on their talk. The shop was tiny and, at this time of day, sparse with patrons. So they weren't in anyone's earshot. As a matter of fact, the clerk wasn't even interested in them.

"I know, B." Faith put her hand on Buffy's. "I was talking about him. I had a talk with him about it."

"Spike? He's cool with it, right? He said so this morning. Heck, I even had a date a few weeks ago and he said it was no big deal."

"You believed that shit?" Faith asked her. "Remember, you're talking to the queen of hiding her feelings. I've also been on the business end of being in love with you. If you were all that easy to get over, there wouldn't have been a last night."

Buffy looked down at the floor and thought for a few. "He's hurt, isn't he?"

How dumb could I be? She thought. I knew he still cared about me, and I blatantly threw my new relationship in front of his face.

"Look, me and him had a talk, and he's cool with us. Not the fake kinda cool, either. But, I think you should talk to him."

Buffy nodded her head. "I will. I didn't mean to hurt anyone. Just when you came back.." she looked at Fa ". "..when you came back, it was like everything I was trying to find was right there."

Faith smiled. "Aww, B."

"I'm serious. I want this thing to work between us. I love you, and I guess..I wasn't thinking about anyone else's feelings but my own."

Faith nodded. "Speaking of which..Xander.."

"Oh no." Buffy said, instantly going into defensive mode. "He had it coming, the way he talked to you."

"Look, I know you wanted to defend me, and that made me feel really good. But, he cares about you, and he has every reason not to trust me. But, I think he'll come around. Just give him some time."

Buffy thought a while. "When'd you get all Psych 101 on me?"

"I've had a lot of time to self-analyze." Faith winked. "Plus, I feel bad that you told one of your friends to fuck off, because of me. I carry around enough guilt, B. I don't want any more."

Buffy browsed the shelves for a little while longer, pondering over what she had just been told. "I just wanted to hurt him." She finally said.

"Huh?"

"I was so mad at what he was saying about you. I just said the first thing that I knew would hurt him the most."

"See? That's what Giles was trying to tell us, B. You were so focused on defending me that you tossed out all reason. We can't do that. That'll get us hurt."

"Sorry, Faith."

The brunette shrugged. "Hey, it's not me that you owe aologology to."

"I know..I'll give him some time to cool down. But, I'll talk to him. Who woulda thought that you would be the sensible one of the two of us?"

Faith laughed. "Guess, time changes a lot."

Buffy's eyes widened as she spotted something that caught her attention. "Hey! Is this `Morbius the Living Vampire' cool?"

A huge grin spread across her lover's face. "Yeah he is. Let's get it." Faith grabbed it from her and placed it with her own pile. Buffy bounced down the aisle as if her parents had just gotten her the toy she wanted.

"We better get back to the house. We should really be helping to train the Potentials."

Buffy and Faith collapsed into her bed, laughing hysterically. They were both still wet from the shower they had shared, which had gone rapidly from a mutual back washing to full body soaping. Then eventually a rabid tickle fest, ending with Faith chasing Buffy across the hallway to the bedroom.

The Potentials were all asleep, totally exhausted from the workout that Faith had put them through, so they were in no danger of being seen.

Buffy got up and closed the door, then walked back to the bed admiring the raven haired beauty that was lying on the bed, leaned up on one elbow. Faith was staring back at her with a look of searing desire. Droplets of water were still clinging to her skin, as she hadn't bothered to dry herself yet.

"God, what did you do to those poor girls, this afternoon?" Buffy asked as she reached for the towel that had fallen to the floor. "Rona, looked like she had seen a ghost when she came back inside."

"Hey, I haven't had a really decent workout in a while. Plus, I figured I should give `em a taste of what a real Slayer could do." She winked.

Buffy's eyes widened. "Oh is that a challenge? Cause if it is, I'll show you what a `real' Slayer can do." She said with a sexy grin. She began the task of drying herself, starting with her calves and working her way up.

Faith suddenly shot up, and with one fluid motion snatched the towel away and pulled Buffy back onto the bed on top of her. "Don't. I like you wet."

Faith brought her lips to Buffy's, immediately parting the blonde's lips with her tongue. Her lover responded in kind, and their tongues danced together. Faith's hands slipped down the small of Buffy's back and deepened the kiss.

-

I feel you moan into my mouth and grind your sex against my thigh. I said that I liked you wet, but damn. My girl is really turned on.

I grab you by the hips and bring my leg up to increase the pressure that you're feeling, making you spasm against me. You're bucking your hips against me, in a faster and faster rhythm, losing the contact that our mouths had just so you can continue to breathe and moan.

You start to work your way down my body, but I hold you in place. I want to see you, baby. I need to see your beautiful face. I love to see the passion that I'm giving you, baby. You're close; I can feel it.

Reversing the momentum, I flip you onto your back. Now, on top of you between your legs, I stop completely.

-

"Wha..what's wrong?" Buffy asked, her breath coming in short gasps.

Faith was looking down at her with a wicked grin, licking her lips. "Nothing's wrong sweetie. I've just got a surprise for you."

"Huh? What kinda surprise?"

Faith got up from the bed and walked over to her bag, which had yet to be unpacked. "Only my favorite possession." Then she looked back over her shoulder. "Well, other than YOU, that is."

Buffy blushed the full length of her body, knowing that with that statement Faith had just claimed her, as her own.

Rummaging through the bag, Faith found out what she was looking for, then stood up, showing it to Buffy like someone shares an intimate secret.

Buffy's eyes widened. "You keep one of those in your travel bag?"

"Hey, a girl's gotta be prepared. Never know when you're gonna get the urge or how long you're gonna go without. Now..on your hands and knees."

Faith's smile was betraying more than a little mischief.

-

Ok, baby. I'll do what you want. Anything for you, ya know that.

I roll over onto my hands and knees, never breaking eye contact with you. I'm so hot and totally unsatisfied. You're teasing me now. But you know that I'm yours to control. My body is your canvas, to paint the art that you want to create.

I'm ready. You're touching me now, running your hands over me, kissing my back..lower..kissing over the cleft of my butt. Please, put it inside me. Please baby, I need it. I hear it start to buzz as you press it against the inside of my thigh and I jump with excitement.

You gently trace it along my thighs, and across my lips. You're teasing me again. Oh God, baby. I move my hips back to meet your touch, but you compensate by lightening the pressure. Ok, I get the message. You're in control. Ok, baby. I'll hold still.

I'm yours.

I feel the vibrating wand pressed against my sex, bringing me higher and higher. Delicate kisses on my shoulders as the wand prods against my entry.

Oh yes. It's inside me. You're inside me.

-

That's my girl. You knew I'd give you what you wanted, if you were just patient. Now you get your reward.

You're thrusting back against me each time I slide my vibrator into you. My right hand is working on your sex with my toy, the left is wrapped around your waist so that I can feel you. I love touching you, feeling your desire.

Hearing your moans increase in volume, I thrust faster into you. Your hips are gyrating, almost at a level where I can't control you anymore. Hang on, Baby. I've got you.

"Mmmph..Oh God!" I hear you scream, trying to stifle yourself with a pillow. Your body contorts in a mad dance of pleasure, and you actually pull away from me, riding your climax out till its end while lying flat on your back.

I sit and watch you, as you slowly catch your breath. "B..baby..that was..oh.."

Aww, B. You're embarrassing me. "I knew you'd like it."

Finally, coming to your senses, you look up at me. "Oh Faithy..that was amazing. Could I..?" you ask as you reach for the vibrator that's still in my hand. I yank it, just out of your grasp.

"Nope." I tell you. "It's mine to use. Only mine. Got it?"

You smile up at me with your adorable face. "Yes baby."

Good. Just so you understand.

-

What can I do to measure up? How can I match what you just gave me? Tell me, Faithy. I need to please you.

"I love you, B." Comes from your pretty lips. Oh, I love you too Faith. I just can't form words right now. I want to feel you, taste you. Oh yeah, that's it.

I push you back against the bed and begin to kiss down your body. Swirling my tongue at your collarbone and kissing a line to each nipple. Your body surges against my mouth when I hit your waistline. I know what you want, baby. Your body is telling me where to go.

I love you Faith. Just let me please you.

Your thighs open and then envelope me, pulling me closer to you. I feel hands behind my head, urging me lower toward your beautifully shaven center.

My mouth presses to your sex, and your body arches into me. I'm the one in control now, baby. Just for the moment, until I go back to being yours again.

"Oh, yesss. B..baby. It feels so..AHH FUCK!" Your whole body is gyrating, turning into the instrument of my pleasure. Holding you close, I ride the spasms with you until you are done. Holding you. Kissing you.

"I love you.."

-

I hear you whisper your love for me, snuggled against my breast. Both of my arms are wrapped protectively around you.

Nothing's gonna happen to my girl. Not while I'm here. So just sleep, baby. I'll be here to watch over you. Eventually, I feel your body give in to sleep and I'm not long to follow.

You're everything, B. I love you.

I need you.
