Nocturnal Bravura

A Time To Gain 30

Author’s Note: Manipulated dialogue from Touched

William sat in The Bronze with his friends and Dawn. He knew she needed to get out tonight. Get her mind off of things. Rupert had agreed. They looked so innocent all sitting there laughing but if anyone knew the truth. They looked like normal kids but they weren’t. A werewolf, a witch, a weapons expert an ex-two thousand year old demon, a child with an amazing gift of intuition and of course The Slayer. The one called to fight the evil, to protect the world.

For the moment they were just kids laughing at Xander trying his hand at salsa dancing looking more like he had a piece of ice sliding down his back than anything else.

“What is he trying to do exactly?” Willow asked.

William shrugged his shoulders.

“Look sexy? You know do that swirl thing with his hips that they do.” William offered.

“Someone should tell him it’s not working.” Dawn whispered.

Willow laughed.

A slow sensual Spanish guitar rift filled the air.

“Oh I love this song!” Willow said grabbing Oz.

William gulped hard.

He smiled down at Dawn.

“Just going to the loo.” He said.

Dawn smiled and nodded.

William walked toward the bathroom. He ducked in a dark corner and closed his eyes. As the song filled the air.

He never allowed himself to think about it. As if he did it would some how discount the whole event. Make it less real. However, when he heard this song it all came back to him.

FLASHBACK
__________________________________________________________________

William sat on his bed shaking. Spike was a vampire. The new Master, the thing he had been searching for. How? None of it made any sense to him.

Was he suppose to kill him?

His brother was his enemy?

"She's mine. She'll always be mine." William remembered Spike saying.

Was he going to try to take her? Turn her?

Lizzie...

They had taken her this morning.

At least she was safe.

William listened to the silence it was deafening. He flipped on his radio wanting some kind of noise to fill the air.

William heard a tap on the window.

He ran over and opened it.

"LIZZIE! He exclaimed.

Lizzie crawled in.

"Hey." She said.

"Lizzie what are you doing here. Are you going to get into any trouble?" William asked.

Lizzie shrugged her shoulders.

"Probably. According to the state I already am trouble so who cares right?" Lizzie teased.
"Lizzie, Da's going to get you back you should have seen him on the phone today he was like a mad man. I don‘t think that Kroeger woman is going to have a job by the time my Da gets through with her." William said confidently.

"She's right, Dawnie isn't safe around me." Lizzie whispered sitting down on William's bed.

William knelt in front of her.

"Don't say that Lizzie. There in no one in the world she is safer with." William said.
"I'm scared Will. I feel myself slipping away. The scariest part is I don’t seem to care if I do. I think I want to." Lizzie said.

"No, Lizzie you don’t. If you feel yourself slipping away, then hold onto me. Stay here with people who love you don‘t let your hope slip away.” William said.

Lizzie's eyes filled with tears.

"How can you say that to me Will? You don't think I know, do you?" Lizzie whispered looking down.

William looked at Lizzie confused.

"I know how you feel about me, Will." She whispered.

William stood up his heart was pounding.

He turned away from her.

"I've always known." Lizzie said.

William closed his eyes for a moment then turned to her and looked into her eyes.
"Then I can say it. I love you."

"Don't, I'm not safe. I'll hurt you." Lizzie said as tears fell from her eyes.
William touched her cheek, wiping them away.

"Don't cry. I hate it when you cry. Listen to me Lizzie. I'm not asking you for anything. When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the one, Lizzie." William said his voice filled with emotion.

"If I get too close to you William I will ruin you." Lizzie said.

"I'm already ruined Lizzie. You're The One. I will never love anyone else. I knew that since the day I laid eyes on you." William replied.

Lizzie heard the music playing in the background.

She smiled at him and held out her arms.

"Dance with me?"

William wanted nothing more but to hold her in arms. Slowly he rose from the bed, pulling her to him.

At that moment, he thought about telling Lizzie about Spike. But he couldn't.
"William." Lizzie whispered

William looked in her eyes. She was so beautiful. He needed to kiss her and he did. Lowering his lips to hers, he placed a small kiss to her bottom lip then her top one before placing his tongue into her mouth. Lizzie parted her lips, letting him in to dance with hers. The kiss was soft and pure.

"Where you are, that's where I wanna be
And through your eyes
All the things I wanna see
And in the night
You are my dream
You're everything to me"

Tears filled William's eyes. He waited for this moment and it was finally happening. He swayed with Lizzie in his arms, touching her face while he continued to kiss her. Listening to the lyrics of the song, William imagined a world with just the two of them where no death, no slaying, and no pain could reach them.

"You're the love of my life
And the breath in my prayers
Take my hand, lead me there
What I need is you there"

Lizzie had to stand on her tiptoes to kiss William. She could feel his jaw trembling. She touched the side of his face to calm him, let her mouth explore his mouth. She drew back giving him a reassuring smile. Quickly, William reclaimed her lips while they continued to dance, kissing each other with tenderness.

"I can't forget the taste of your mouth
From your lips
The heavens pour out
I can't forget when we are one
With you alone, I am free"

She removed his shirt from his jeans, pulling it over his head. She placed her hands on his chest, massaging his exposed flesh with circular motions. She watched his nipples harden from her touch. Gently she bit them before taking them into her mouth. William gazed down at her barely able to keep his eyes open. Her touch was overwhelming.

Lizzie crossed her arms in front of her and removed her shirt then her bra. The moonlight danced off her skin. William began to take labored breaths as he stood there gazing at Lizzie as if she was some sort of mystical entity.

"You're beautiful." He whispered.

Lizzie brushed her breast against his chest before pulling him closer to continue the dance, the dance of lovers. William wrapped his arms around her tighter. The feeling of her breast against his chest and how soft she felt in his arms almost unhinged him right there. They continued to dance and kiss, stroking the flames of the fire rising between them.

Lizzie removed William's hands from around her and placed them on the front of her jeans. She unzipped his pants, granting him permission with her eyes for him to do the same. She walked over to his bed and laid down, pulling him with her. They were both naked and pressed against each other. William wanted to kiss every part of her and taste every inch of her.

He was afraid and nervous. He had never been with anyone. He imagined if it did happen, Lizzie would be his first, but her relationship with his brother took that away. Never on this earth did he imagine he would get this chance. Lizzie encouraged him in silence, letting him take the lead and allow him to do what ever he wanted to her.

Hesitantly, he put his hand on her breast. Lizzie moaned in approval. William kissed her shoulders then lowered his head to her chest. He kissed her nipple once, then again. Finally, gathering all his courage, he opened his mouth and began to suck on it. Lizzie's lower body jerked while William moved from one nipple to the other. He placed his hand on her thigh, trying to still her then trailed his hand up, brushing it over her clit. She whimpered. He looked up at her asking for permission. Lizzie grabbed his hand, placing it on her clit. William rubbed it slowly.

He watched as Lizzie moaned and threw her hand back staring at the ceiling in ecstasy. William on instinct abandoned her breast and dipped his head between her legs, giving her clit a hard lick then he latched on. His eyes drifted up to see her and if this was what she really wanted.

He watched as Lizzie's eyes rolled back, biting her bottom lip. William continued to lick and suck, loving the taste of her in his mouth. He knew he lacked any experience but he poured out his love and devotion into every kiss and lick of her center like the way he had long to kiss her mouth all these years. She was getting wetter and hotter. He could hear her panting then suddenly he tasted the very core of her. It was her most intimate part and he wanted to drink every loving drop. He felt her legs shake against the sides of his head as her hands held him it in place. William continued to kiss and lick her until her body slowed then he heard her crying.

He vaulted up.

"Lizzie, did I hurt you? Did I do something wrong?" William said with concern.

Lizzie smiled through her tears.

"No, you were perfect. Like you always are, William. You're perfect." Lizzie whispered, pulling him up by the shoulders to kiss him.

"Every day, every night, you alone
You're the love of my life
Every day, every night
You're the love of my life"

Lizzie reached between their bodies and wrapped her hand around William's penis, gently directing it to her opening.

William braced himself afraid and excited.

“William” Lizzie said.

"We don't have to do this." William said concerned.

"I want to. I just need ask you to do something for me before we do." She replied

"Anything." William whispered.

"I want you to look into my eyes when it happens. I want you to see me. I want you to see that it's you that I am looking at and no one else only you William."
William's mouth went dry. She was aware of his greatest fear, that she was doing this because he looked like his brother and he was just comfort, but her words changed all that for him.

"You are here with ME…aren't you Lizzie?"

"Yes William I am."

"We go dancing in the moonlight
With the starlight in your eyes
We go dancing till the sunrise
You and me we're gonna dance, dance, dance"

Slowly, he entered her. The feeling of her surrounding him was his heaven. He began to quiver. Lizzie stroked the nape of his neck with one hand and the small of his back with the other, trying to soothe his fears.

"Take your time" she whispered

William slowed his pace down. He looked into her eyes, watching the contours of her face contort into pleasure. Lizzie shut her eyes and he kissed her eyelids. Their movements were slow and deliberate, helping them reach their peaks. Arching her back, Lizzie let out a gasp, opening her eyes to look at him before her orgasm exploded inside her. William followed, burying his head in her chest, panting.

"Love you Lizzie. Love you So much."

Lizzie kissed the top of his head and whispered.

“I know.”

END OF FLASHBACK

“Every day, every night, you alone
You're the love of my life
Every day, every night
You're the love of my life”

The song ended. William raised his head shaken by the memory. He had not been with anyone else before or since then. He doubted if he ever would.

He thought back to what he told her.

“You’re The One.”

He knew she was. There would be no one else for the male Slayer.

“Not that it mattered.” He thought

“All Slayers came with an early expiration date anyways....”

Authors: Note The song Is called Love Of My Life with Carlos Santana and Dave Matthews I am pointing this out because you must listen to it! It’s one of my all time favorites.
