Obeying Nature

Chapter 10
Buffy walked as silently as possible over to Giles’ bed. It looked like he was deeply asleep, and Buffy thought twice about waking him.
Deep in thought, she almost jumped a mile in the air when he suddenly turned and whispered her name. “Buffy? Is something wrong?”
“Jesus Giles, you just took ten years off my life. I thought you were asleep.”
Giles gave a silent chuckle, and then took her hand and pulled her into bed next to him.
“Yes well, it seems like my mind is a little preoccupied by this petite blond I know.” While talking he had draped the comforter and his body tightly around her. “Was there something you needed?”
Talk about a loaded question, Buffy thought with a smile.
“Just you” she mumbled as she brought her nose to his neck and took a deep breath. “God, you smell so good.” Giles closed his eyes, and brought his hand up her back under her pyjama top as he lowered his head to her neck as well.
“Mmmm, so do you.” They stayed like that for several moments just breathing each other in until Giles broke the silence with a murmur.
“I thought you were sleeping in your own bed tonight?” Buffy tangled her hand in his hair and tugged on it gently to raise his head so she could see his eyes.
“I was reluctantly planning on it, but then I met a demon in the bathroom who talked some sense in to me.” At first Giles seemed utterly confused, and then a slight smile crossed his face.
“Ah, Anya.” Buffy nodded with a smile of her own before she gave him a lingering kiss that made his body shiver. He tore his mouth away from hers while his hand roamed her back.
“Smart girl that Anya, I knew I hired her for a reason.”
“I bet you didn’t expect her to work wonders for your love life” Buffy said with a smirk that earned her a pinch in the side. Before she had a chance to retaliate, Giles covered her body completely with his and took possession of her mouth with a growl. The feel of his warm body made her moan into his mouth, but she wanted more.
She started to tug on his t-shirt, which wasn’t an easy task considering the lack of space between them. He got her hint and lifted his torso slightly so she could pull his shirt up while still making love to her mouth. When they were forced to end the kiss so it would go over his head, he wasted no time in getting rid of hers as well.
Their eyes suddenly caught. Buffy’s misted when she saw the love in his. She placed a trembling hand on his cheek that made his eyes close.
“I love you so much Giles.”
His eyes opened immediately and he blinked several times before he answered in a tight voice. “And I love you Buffy.”
Buffy lifted her head so their mouths met in mid-air, before they both sank back down onto the bed. Their hands started to roman, and it didn’t take long until Buffy started tugging on his boxers. His hands slid down her sides, tracing her curves before he took hold of her pyjama pants and panties and pulled them down her legs. As soon as they were gone he let her do the same to him, and then their naked bodies were pressed together.
When his mouth let go off hers to fasten on her breast, she let one of her hands slide down his chest and then moved lower to gently touch his erection.
He hissed against her breast, and pressed his arousal against her hand. She wrapped her hand around him, and let her hand slide along his length. He turned his attention to the other breast while letting a hand drift slowly down to her waist. She opened her legs wider so she could fell him more fully against her, and sobbed out his name when his hand started stroking her core.
He could hear her breath coming out in heavy pants, and quickly raised his head from her breast so he could swallow the cries of her orgasm with a kiss.
His tongue delved into her mouth and tangled with her own as his hand moved to gently stroke her sensitised skin.
Suddenly he found himself rolled onto his back with Buffy posed above him. She immediately latched onto one of his nipples, making him squirm in pleasure. His breath came out in gasps. Finally he couldn’t bear it, and swiftly rolled her back so he was on top, and guided himself to her entrance. Buffy clutched his shoulders as he slowly sank into her.
“God, you feel so good” she whimpered into his mouth.
Giles was, at this moment, completely unable to speak. He rested his forehead against hers until he felt some semblance of control.
His answer was a mere whisper before he tangled his mouth with hers. “I love you.”
Her hips raised in perfect synchronisation as he began to trust gently with long strokes. Again and again their bodies crashed together with increasing speed. It didn’t take long until they both hurled over the edge of their release.
Bodies shaking, they held each other tightly as they drew in gulps of air and tried to take control of their heaving breath. After a few minutes, Giles gently untangled himself from her so his weight wouldn’t bother her, and rolled them both on their sides so he could still hold her close. He gently let his hand brush away damp hair from her face, and then placed a soft kiss on her swollen lips that made her sigh in contentment.
She opened her eyes to look straight into his and they once again threatened to water when she saw the overwhelming love that was shining from him.
“I love you, Giles” she whispered before she nuzzled her face into his neck. She held his naked body as close to hers as she could so he wouldn’t see the tears in her eyes. Giles closed his eyes in utter delight and placed a loving kiss on the top of her head before he drifted off to sleep with a last murmur.
“And I you, my love.”

Chapter 11
Buffy woke surrounded by the wonderful smell of him. She realized she couldn’t remember the last time she woke up with a smile on her face. His arms were wrapped around her, and their legs were tangled together. She held back a chuckle when she realised they had fallen asleep without covering themselves up, and it was at that moment she realised what had woken her up.
A figure was walking down the hall. She held her breath as she recognised Xander heading for the bathroom. She silently begged that it was dark enough so he wouldn’t be able to see their naked bodies entwined on the bed.
Giles was disturbed from his sleep at a tad too tight squeeze. He was just about to speak when he heard someone opening the door to the bathroom, and his whole body froze when he realised they were stark naked without anything covering them. At a loss, he didn’t move a muscle until he heard the flush from the toilet and the same person exited the room and padded down the hall without a halt.
His body was finally able to relax when he heard the door close. A giggle rose up from Buffy’s face, pressed into his chest, caused him to grin, and he let one of his hands roam her naked back as he kissed the top of her head.
“Thought that was funny did you?”
Buffy continued to laugh as she raised her head so she could see his face. “Oh yeah. I wish I could’ve been able to see your face, because if the tension in your body was any indication I’d say it would be sporting an expression of complete mortification of Xander seeing us together in all of our naked glory.”
His grin turned into a slightly worried expression. “Oh my God, that was Xander?”
He could have handled Anya, and maybe even Willow, but Xander was the one who he was most worried about finding out about their relationship.
“Yes it was Xander, but don’t worry, he was half asleep and didn’t even look over here.”
She laughed again when his breath washed out of him in relief, and couldn’t resist helping herself to a kiss. He responded with a happy sound that made her heart quicken. After several minutes of that delightful activity they broke, and Giles looked over their naked bodies with an amused smile.
“Hmm, it looks like we fell asleep rather quickly last evening?”
“Sure did, I wonder why?”
With a twinkle in his eyes, he rolled her on her back so his body covered hers.
“I have no idea. Let’s try and find out.”
*****
Her moans as he moved inside her were working havoc on his control and he knew any minute now he wouldn’t be able to hold back his release. Just as he was about to move his hand down so he could bring her with him, one of her hands grabbed his shoulder in a tight hold. She threw her head back as she yelled his name.
“Giiiiles!”
“Giles?”
“Giles!!”
With a start he woke, and realised his very erotic dream had turned into the harsh reality of Anya standing next to his bed, calling his name as she tugged on his shoulder.
Immediately he lifted his head from the pillow with an anxious look on his face to make sure both he and Buffy were covered. The sense of relief that they were didn’t diminish the fact that he had been left hanging at the brink of an orgasm, and his body squirmed with unreleased tension.
Tightening his hold on Buffy to hide his erection, he looked up at Anya. “What?”
It came out slightly more irritated than he would have liked, but at that moment he was pleased that he had been able to even speak.
“After the night you must have had, Giles, I would have expected you to be a lot friendlier.” Anya said, unfazed by his tone.
At his less than friendly glare, she continued. “I just wanted to let you guys know it is eight am, and you should probably think about getting up. Even though I don’t think the others will wake any time soon, you should probably be on the safe side.”
Buffy at this time had started to stir, and Giles bit his lip as he felt her body move against his.
She pressed closer and started placing kisses up his throat with an aim for his mouth, and raised her head with a pout when he didn’t respond.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Giles’ pained expression on his face looking up at Anya.
“Anya! What are you doing here?”
Anya gave her a big grin. “I was just telling Giles it is eight, and that you should probably think about getting up. Maybe not right away though,” she continued after a beat. On that note she turned away from them and went back to her room.
Buffy felt the tension in Giles’ body and looked back at his face. She got concerned when she saw the troubled look in his eyes. His body suddenly shivered, and she brought her hand up from under the covers to stroke his cheek with a questioning look.
“What’s wrong? Are you alright?”
He closed his eyes, and then leaned his head on her shoulder as he took a deep breath.
“I was woken rather, uhm, unexpectedly and, and, inconveniently,” hoping that it would be enough of an answer.
“You had a nightmare?” she asked worryingly.
Apparently not clear enough, he thought, as a blush crept over his face. “Not exactly.”
Buffy’s brow creased in confusion for a second until her face lit up with a knowing smile.
“One of those huh?” she said as she let her hand slip back under the covers to run down his chest. At the smug tone of her voice, Giles couldn’t help but chuckle, but it was quickly interrupted as her hand circled his erection.
“Was I a part of this dream?”
His brain was now too fogged with sensations to come up with a clever answer, so all he did was nod against her neck. His hands had started wandering her body, and hisusalusal grew as he heard her breathing speed up. He moaned when she moved her head to capture his lips with hers and straddled his body. It did not take long until his morning picked up where his dream left off, except this time she was looking down at him as they moved together.
Just as in his dream, he was worried that he would be unable to wait for her, but then he could feel her inner muscles tense and he finally got the release he sorely needed.
After several minutes Buffy finally lifted her head from his chest where she had plopped down and gave him a loving smile. “Good morning.”
Giles smiled in return and gave her a slow kiss before releasing her mouth. “To say the least!”
She gave a quick glance down the hallway and then turned back to him with a mischievous smile.
“Do you thing we woke anyone up? I thought we managed to be pretty quiet.”
Giles sat up with her still attached to his chest. “Let’s not stay to find out.” Holding her tightly he got them both out of bed and gave her another one of his long kisses, before letting her feet touch the floor.
“Why don’t we put some clothes on and spend the morning by the lake?”
Buffy nodded happily and put on her t-shirt before heading to her room. A few minutes later they both quietly exited the cabin and walked hand in hand into the woods.

Chapter 12
In her oon ton the morning passed too quickly. The entire day too, and she she stood on the porch of their cabin watching the sun set. She and Giles had spent the morning by the lake alternating between napping, cuddling, kissing and swimming, before joining the others for a late brunch. The rest of day they had gone over their battle plan for the evening, and were now almost set to go.
“A quarter for your thoughts.” She smiled as Giles came out and stood right next to her, resting his hands on the railing right next to hers.
“Inflation?” she asked playfully as she let her eyes meet his.
“No, but not one of your thoughts could be worth any less than that” he responded with a grin. She could hear the happy chatter of the others inside and was amazed at how relaxed they always were before heading out to battle with her.
“Are we leaving?”
Giles nodded. “Yes, are you ready?”
With a deep breath to prevent her hand from covg hig his, she nodded. They turned towards each other. He patted her shoulder in a quick and awkward gesture of comfort, and they both laughed as their eyes met.
“You know Giles, I think you can do better than that.”
He huffed a little and put his hands in his pockets. “Yes, well, not here though.”
Buffy cocked her head, and looked up at him and whispered dramatically.
“I don’t think the others would die of shock if you gave me a proper hug.”
“But see that’s where you’re wrong. A proper hug from me would involve the lengths of our bodies pressed tightly together, my hands under your shirt spread on the naked skin of your back, and my face buried in your neck so I can place hot open mouth kisses on your skin.” He bit back a smile as he saw her eyes grow dark with desire. “And I am definitely sure they are not ready for that.”
“That, Mr. Giles, was not fair!” she admonished him.
“No I guess not, but I can make amends by giving you a preview of coming attractions” he said and pulled her into his arms, while resting the top of his head on hers. He made sure he was facing away from the door to the cabin so he could close his eyes.
“I love you Buffy” he whispered tenderly.
She tightened her hold on him and whispered in return. “I love you too Giles.”
“Hey, are we ready to go?” Xander’s voice shattered the serenity of their hold.
Buffy made sure not to draw away too quickly to avoid raising suspis. As. At the look of Xander’s face, she realised he didn’t suspect a thing. He looked at their embrace with a bland expression.
“Sure!” she said with false bravado.
Giles gave her arm a quick squeeze, and stepped away from her. “Let’s go.”
*****
Everything had gone according to plan, with little blood and mayhem. Well, at least none of their blood had been shed, and that was most important.
The demons had been hard to kill. The fact that they were carrying knifes had been unexpected, and since relatively close contact was required to kill them, had made it even more risky. But once they had figured out that their movements were slowed because of their size they were easily gotten rid of. Now there was only one demon left, and he was growling as they carefully encircled and inched closer to him. Buffy could see that the demon was unaware of how close Giles was behind him as the others distracted it.
Within seconds a gruesome howl was heard through the forest as Giles ran his sword with a fierce momentum through its back.
It roared in anger and whipped its body around to face him before it fell to the ground, almost taking Giles down with it, who managed at the last minute to step back and fall on his butt.
Xander immediately ran over and beheaded the creature with a triumphant yell. “Geronimo!!”
Giles looked up at Xander with a bemused smile. “Geronimo?”
“It was the only thing I could think of” Xander said as he gave Giles his hand to pull him up. “Besides, the last time I yelled that, Buffy thought it was really cool. Isn’t that right Buff?”
Giles who had been dusting his pants of twigs and dirt, looked over to Buffy with a smile, but it died quickly as he saw her standing bent over with a hand clutched to her abdomen.
“Buffy?”
The others, who had been dusting their clothes as well, all looked over to her as they heard the alarm in his voice.
Her head rose with tearful eyes to meet his and his stomach clenched in panic as he saw a knife protruding from the side of her waist and blood leaking down her pants.
