Chapter 45
“Kelly,
“Where is she?” Kelly questions as she carries the boxes towards the house.
“She snuck off to the library.” Buffy turns watching Kelly walk towards the house.
“Thanks, babe.” Kelly strides quicker in the house, setting the boxes down out of the way, before heading to the library. “You need me?”
“It’s going to take a while, but with a little help from
“You can read that shit?” Kelly questions, impressed. “I couldn’t make heads or tails out of it, but then again I only know a few ancient languages.”
“Kept up with your Old Gaelic?”
“Yeah. Learned a lot of different newer languages, but my older languages, I sort of wasn’t able to keep up on that much. The Gaelic, some Sumerian, and Latin, of course.” Kelly sighs, before grinning.
“Well, this is a combination of a few different languages. It’s going to take a while to figure out what they mean.”
“That’s fine. I’m just kind of curious as to why it just now showed up. If it was here all this time, and something activated it, or if someone maybe brought here last night.” Kelly admits quietly. “Plus, I know it’s one of those things where what it actually ‘says’ compared to what they mean could be two entirely different things.”
“Isn’t that the truth.”
“Don’t let it interrupt your life, and your lovings. I don’t want
“I’ll have to be careful, or I’ll get in trouble like she did.”
“HEY! No talking about me when I’m not here.”
“And let’s not forget actually unpacking the boxes.” Kelly grins at the redhead. “It shouldn’t be that bad, with all of us. I appreciate you two deciphering that whenever you can. I better start sorting the rest of the boxes and figuring out where they need to go. You two sticking around, or need a ride home?”
“I don’t mind sticking around and helping you guys unpack, if you want.”
“That’s fine with me. Plus Buffy might kick our ass if we don’t help, after all she helped us when we moved.”
“They’re probably generic items, knick knacks that need to find a home.” Kelly admits, grinning. “Shit that Buffy’s going to have to find a place for.”
“Damn, you’re talking about me?” Buffy narrows her gaze on her lover as she walks into the room. “All the boxes are in their respective rooms, except for the ones you’re talking about.” Buffy smiles as Kelly tucks her in against her body.
“So what do you want to do first? Unpack the boxes in our room, or start with the other pile?” Kelly questions, running her hands up and down Buffy’s back.
“Is there a C option?” Buffy looks up smirking at her lover.
“Could be.” Kelly chuckles, hugging Buffy tight. “Come on, babe. Let‘s get these things situated, and see if anybody else needs any help.”
“Okay. Someone will probably need to go pick up Giles in a little bit.” Buffy looks at the clock.
“Why don’t you pick him up on the Harley?” Kelly smirks at Buffy.
“I can do that. What are we going to do about keys for everyone?” Buffy tilts her head looking up at her lover.
“Thanks for reminding me.” Kelly leans down kissing Buffy gently. “I need to call the locksmith and have them re-key the house and make keys for everyone. I’ll re-do the alarm system with a different password.”
“What password are you going to use?” Buffy questions as Kelly releases her.
Kelly laughs wickedly as she heads out to the front door and the alarm system, making a pit stop to re-check the programming instructions.
“Will we all have to use the same password? I don’t know if I liked that laugh.” Willow questions looking from Buffy to
“I honestly don’t know, she talked with Brad about the system.” Buffy frowns, wondering what her lover’s up to.
“Damn, you guys are no fun!” Kelly calls from the foyer. “I guess I’ll have to behave.” Kelly punches in the sequences, waiting for it to beep before punching in the next series. “I guess horny bitch isn’t going to get used this time.” Kelly allows a small grin to cross her face as she hears a ‘thank the goddess’ come from her sister.
“So, what is it?” Buffy questions coming up behind Kelly, wrapping her arms around her lover’s waist.
“Mystikal, with a ‘k’ instead of a ‘c’.” Kelly finishes putting it into the keypad. “I could set it up for up to ten different passwords. So, if everyone would rather have their own, I can do that.”
“That’s fine for now. It isn’t like we’ll probably be over here when you guys aren’t home, anyway.” Tara smiles as
“You might be surprised.” Kelly grins as she places her hands over Buffy’s, squeezing gently. “Once I get my stuff sent here from storage, there may be some magical texts and stuff you’ll want to borrow.”
“That and you may want to come and use the pool for a late night swim, or the game room to play in.” Buffy shifts around, under Kelly’s arm, holding her tightly.
“Game room?”
“Want to show them, babe?” Kelly looks down at Buffy smiling gently. “I want to figure out where to put the rest of the boxes.”
“You’re going to owe me.” Buffy raises an eyebrow, smirking at her lover before lifting up on her tiptoes, kissing Kelly firmly. Groaning quietly, she wraps her arms around Kelly’s neck, pressing her body tightly against Kelly’s as she deepens the kiss, battling strongly against her lover’s tongue for a few long moments, nibbling on the teasing tongue as they slowly bring the deep kiss down to gentle brushes of lips.
“Hmmm. Okay, let’s let them go look at the game room, I’ll work on making it up to you now.” Kelly leers at Buffy, after they finally break off their kiss.
“Come on you two! I thought you were finished with the power exchange, thing.”
“Uh, huh.”
“I’ll take you.” Buffy sighs quietly. “Hot monkey lovin’ can wait for a little while.” Buffy smirks then yelps as Kelly smacks her firmly on the ass as she heads towards the door.
“We need to talk.”
“What did I do?” Kelly pouts, seeing the gleam in her sisters eyes, trying not to laugh.
“You have taken a sweet, keep to herself woman and turned her into a horny, sassy talking, slayer.”
“Horny bitch.” Kelly explains nodding her head. “That’s why I wanted to make that the password. OWWW!” Kelly grumbles looking down at Buffy, rubbing her breast. “Was that a nice thing to do in front of my sister and your best friends? Next thing you know you’ll want to run around the house naked or something.” Kelly jumps back out of reach as Buffy goes to pinch her again.
“I’ll leave that for you. Come on you two, let me show you the game room.” Buffy winks at Kelly as they head out the door.
“Be careful or I’ll still run around the whole house naked.” Kelly grumbles as she works her way to the living room, chuckling as she hears Buffy call her a bitch.
*****************
Kelly places the pots and pans that she’d bought in the cabinets, working her way back to the living room. Sorting through the knick knacks, she tilts her head, wondering where Buffy would like them to go. Whether she would want them in their apartment, or to put them throughout the rest of the house. Deciding to slide the boxes against the wall, Kelly opens the next box, smiling at the pictures she uncovers from the wrapping. Running her finger over her lover’s likeness, Kelly smiles softly.
“Yo, stretch?” Faith looks at Kelly, leaning over her shoulder to see what she’s looking at. “You love her, don’t ya?” Faith questions seriously.
“With my whole being.” Kelly whispers, slowly standing and placing the picture on a side table, straightening it gently. “Did you need something, Faith?”
“Can I talk with ya?” Faith fidgets nervously, looking at the tall woman.
“Of course. Here or somewhere else?” Kelly watches the uncharacteristic movements of the slayer.
“Maybe somewhere else, not in the pathway of everyone comin’ and goin’.” Faith runs a hand through her hair.
“Sure.” Kelly thinks for a few minutes. Babe? Where are you at?
We’re still out in the game room, why? Buffy answers, chuckling as
Faith’s wanting to talk, so I was thinking about walking out over the property with her, and was wanting to let you know that way we’re not interrupted. Kelly places a gentle hand on the slayer’s shoulder as Faith starts bouncing lightly on the balls of her feet.
We’ll stay away. I probably need to get Giles anyway. These two are having a blast playing the games. Buffy admits, chuckling at
Good, I’m glad. Everybody needs to have fun. Be careful picking up Mr. G. I love you. Kelly looks at Faith. “Come on, let’s go outside.” Kelly walks through the house working through the kitchen grabbing a water, tossing it to Faith as she grabs another one for herself.
Love you, too. Buffy smiles softly as she feels the love coming from Kelly.
“Do I look that sappy when I’m talking to
“I don’t know what my look actually looks like, but I’m sure you do.” Buffy grumbles good-naturedly. “You two go ahead and have fun. I need to get Giles.”
“Okay.”
“I sometimes wonder about her.” Buffy shakes her head, sharing a conspiratorial smile with
“You and me both.”
“Always.”
“So, do you think they’ll mind if we initiate their play room for them before they get a chance?” Tara whispers into
“I doubt they’ll mind. Plus Buffy told us to have fun.”
“You seemed to like that pinball game. I was thinking I would like to play.” Tara huskily whispers as she works
“Take my shirt off?”
“Hmmm. Someone seems to be ready for me. Would it be because of me, or because of watching a certain hot display a short period ago?”
“Goddess!”
Tara hums into Willow’s center as she swirls her tongue around inside her lover, easing back to take deep breaths before diving back in, lapping at her lover as the nectar oozes from Willow. Switching her tongue with two fingers, Tara slides them in, stroking firmly as she latches onto Willows swollen muscle, moaning as
“So good, baby.”
Tara moans as she quickly gather’s all her lover’s essence, running her hands gently up and down
“Goddess!” Willow pants, breathing heavily as
*********************
Kelly looks occasionally at Faith, wondering what’s on the woman’s mind. Deciding to wait and see if Faith’ll talk, or if she’ll have to question her.
Faith looks at the yard, surprised at the size. “This place is fuckin’ huge.” Faith finally states, the awe in her voice.
“Yes, it is. I like the space.” Kelly admits quietly. “I figure I’ll have a couple little areas built out here with a nice soft mattress, that way if anyone happens to be taking a midnight stroll and would like the comfort of somewhere to lay down, it’s there.”
“Love shacks, huh?” Faith chuckles glancing at the woman.
“Pretty much. I enjoy having sex anywhere and everywhere, but sometimes a nice soft mattress makes things so much easier.” Kelly grins at the dark haired slayer. “Plus the fact I’m getting to old for some of this shit.”
“Fuck that.” Faith laughs at the tall woman. “You ain’t too old, for shit. The damn grin on B’s face tells me that.”
“Good thing. Or she’d be going out looking for a new younger model.” Kelly’s eyes twinkle at Faith.
“She won’t do that. B’s yours from now on. There won’t be anyone else, you know that.” Faith shakes her head, looking at the tall woman. “Kel, I know Sam wants to take our relationship further, hell I want to take it further.” Faith admits, looking down at the ground as they talk and walk. “But I want her to heal before we become physical again. It may sound like I‘m full of myself, but I wanna hear her call my name when I‘m making love to her. And she can’t do that right now.”
Kelly raises an eyebrow at the slayer. “Did you tell her that?”
“Nah.” Faith glances up before sighing quietly. “I never much cared for anything but my own pleasure before, Kel. I want to make her happy, and I’m at a loss as to how to do it.”
“Be yourself, Faith. Tell her why you’re wanting to wait. She thinks its because you’re waiting for her divorce to be final.” Kelly explains softly. “Faith, I know you may want to hear your name on her lips, but that’s something that you’ll be able to hear for a long time. Do you really want to wait till she gets her jaw unwired? I mean, I understand that there are certain things she isn’t going to be able to do, but I don’t think she’ll have a problem bringing you to the pinnacle of pleasure.” Kelly smirks at the woman.
“Jeezus! That ain’t even a consideration, stretch!! Believe it or not, that is so not something that I’m worried about. I don’t even care about me. Not physically, I just want to please her and hear my name.” Faith kicks at the ground. “I ain’t never had anyone call out my name like she did that night, I liked it and I wanna hear it again.” Faith runs a hand through her hair. “It makes me feel like someone actually cares for me. Me! I’m more than so much shit to scrape off your shoes, or a one night stand. It validates my existence, Kel. Don’t take it the wrong way, I mean, I know you guys care…” Faith takes a deep breath rolling her eyes.
“I think I understand, Faith. I suggest you talk to Sam about how you feel. You can talk to her about anything and everything. She’s a very understanding, caring woman. Give her a chance to show you, okay?” Kelly smiles down at the slayer, chuckling as Faith hugs her tightly.
“Thanks, stretch.” Faith grins as she releases Kelly.
“I didn’t do anything, Faith. Go talk to Sam.” Kelly’s lip curls up in a smile at the slayer.
“Yeah, you did. You listened to me ramble. I appreciate it.” Faith grasps Kelly’s arm briefly before turning around and making a mad dash back to the house.
“Well, I don’t know what the hell I did, but she seems happier.” Kelly mumbles to herself as she walks back to the house, steering clear of the game room when she hears Tara and
******************
“Dear, Lord!” Giles rubs his eyes as he gets off the bike behind Buffy looking up at the mansion. “When she decides to buy something, she buys something, doesn’t she?”
“Yep.” Buffy smirks as she pulls off her helmet, tucking it under her arm. “You have to pick out a room, Giles.” Buffy chuckles. “We just sat the boxes with your items in them in the hallway. I think Sam, Faith and Dawn have all picked their rooms. I don’t know about
“I don’t think they have.” Kelly admits grinning as she walks out, kissing Buffy quickly. “Thought I heard you. So, I’m taking the long way around to the freezer to lay out stuff for tomorrow. I figure we can either go pick up something for dinner, or go out, depending on what everyone feels like.”
“Why haven’t they picked one out yet?” Buffy frowns at her lover.
“Umm. They’re still in the game room.” Kelly grins innocently at Buffy.
“Oh.” Buffy answers softly, blushing lightly.
“Yep.” Kelly smirks before heading towards the freezer. “Anything you guys want for tomorrow?”
“Whatever, babe.” Buffy grins watching Kelly head towards the back of the house.
“Be careful, or one of these days I’m going to make you guys eat something that you’ll have no idea what it is!” Kelly calls over her shoulder, the laughter obvious in her voice.
“Need any help?” Buffy hesitates, ready to walk into the house.
“I’ve got it, go ahead and take Mr. G. up to the rooms, let him pick one out.” Kelly turns and winks at her lover. “You can help me out later.” Kelly grins wickedly at her lover before continuing around the corner of the house.
“Come on, Giles. Let me give you a little tour of the interior of the house, if you feel up to it.” Buffy grins as they walk into the mansion, and Giles groans loudly.
“My word! This place is gigantic.” Giles looks around the living room, slowly following Buffy through the house, almost salivating at the size of the library.
“Do you want to see the basement? Kelly’s planning on outfitting it within the next few days into a work out room.” Buffy opens the door to the basement from the library.
“Yes, I would.” Giles quickly follows Buffy down the stairs, surprised at the height of the room and the size. “Do you have the slightest idea what she’s planning on setting this room up with?” Giles questions, before working his way to the wines. Pulling one out he nods his head in appreciation.
“Probably anything and everything, knowing Kelly.” Buffy tilts her head watching Giles. “If you want it, take it. Kelly doesn’t drink, and she wasn’t really interested in the wines.”
“You sure?” Giles gently brushes the light layer of dust off the bottle.
“Take it. Maybe you can see if Faith wants to join you for a glass.” Buffy smirks at the watcher’s look. “Come on, let me show you what bedrooms are open.”
