Chapter 5
Giles lowered them both to the bed, and Buffy cradled his hips between her legs. His tongue moved fiercely against hers. She pushed against his chest so she could reach the buttons of his shirt. His hand slipped under her top and travelled up her stomach until it covered one of her breasts. She gasped against his lips, and he let go of her mouth so he could pull her top over her head. As soon as it disappeared he divested himself of his own shirt and lowered himself back down.
His hands buried themselves in her hair, and he placed kisses all over her face and neck. She felt incapable of thinking and let waves of pleasure whisk her away. His hands and lips were everywhere at once and she felt herself drowning in the sensation of his touch and moist tongue.
After several delightful minutes, he unhooked her bra and threw it on the floor. Immediately his mouth covered her breast, and the feel of his tongue filled her with passion.
One of his hands moved down to her jeans and he unbuttoned them with shaky fingers. She pushed at his shoulder so he was forced to let go of her breast, and then helped him peel off her jeans before he removed his. He slipped her panties down her legs and got rid of his boxers.
Their bodies met in sultry heat and shaky touches. They kissed hungrily as they rubbed together, and his large hands restlessly stroked every curve of her body.
Tongues danced together, and her breasts pushed against his chest. One of his hands slipped between them and moved at an agonizingly slow pace to her core. She whimpered slightly, ran her hand though his hair and moaned his name against his lips.
He opened his eyes to look at her while he placed his erection against her opening. “Buffy? Look at me.” She opened her eyes and placed her hand against his chin. “You’re certain you want this?”
Buffy couldn’t answer. Instead she pulled his mouth back to hers while her hands travelled down to his butt and pulled him close. He pushed gently inside and they both moaned into each others’ mouths.
Their movements where rushed and desperate, and each thrust brought waves of pleasure. Buffy could feel her orgasm begin to build momentum quickly, and it threatened to take her breath away. She arched against him when he thrust deeper and faster, and when she clamped down on him and got her climax, he lost control.
Both were shaking from their release for a long time after. Giles hadn’t moved an inch; he laid heavily upon her. She welcomed his weight and let her hands sweep slowly up and down his back. She was utterly drained of energy and felt herself at the edge of sleep when Giles lifted his head from her neck. He brushed some hair away from her face, and she forced herself to open her eyes.
“God, what did you do to me Giles?” she moaned.
He grinned boyishly. “I had my way with you. I’ll admit it was a little rushed, but that’s to be expected after the foreplay we’ve had the whole day.”
She giggled tiredly. “Absolutely no complaints here, I’ve never felt so way’ed with.”
He smiled a little smugly, and then lightly kissed her lips. Before she had the chance to reciprocate he removed most of his weight from her. He lay on his side and cuddled her close.
“Get some sleep, love.” She snuggled closer, revelling in the feel of his naked skin.
“Don’t wanna. Want more ravishing.” She completely contradicted her words by following them with a yawn. Giles buried his nose in her hair and tightened his arms.
“Sleep first, then ravishing. I promise I have not yet begun to have my way with you.” Buffy made a happy sound and let the gentle strokes of Giles’ hand on her back lull her to sleep.
***
She wasn’t sure how many hours she had been asleep when a tiny pinch to her stomach roused her. She looked down in confusion, and her eyebrow threatened to rise off her head when she saw Giles’ all too innocent eyes looking back at her from his resting place on her stomach.
“You’re awake!” he exclaimed trying to hide a grin. Her jaw dropped and it took her a few tries before she was able to respond.
“You’re awake?” she parroted back incredulously. “Did you just bite my stomach to wake me?” He moved up her body like a tiger on a hunt.
“Now, now, Buffy. I distinctly remember you demanding more ravishing. I am here to serve you.” She laughed as he swept down to nibble on her neck.
“I can’t believe you just did that!” He laughed against her neck and then raised his head.
“I’ve been awake for some time now, and I just couldn’t wait anymore. You feel so amazing and your skin smells wonderful. It was torture, I tell you.”
She pulled his head close and kissed him passionately. When she released his mouth he let his lips trail down her neck. As she writhed in pleasure, she couldn’t believe how much she loved him. When his whole body froze, she realised she’d said it out loud, and her heart beat increased tenfold.
Giles’ heart beat like a jack-hammer in his chest, and for a second he was incapable of moving. Had he just heard what he thought he had heard? He drew in a shaky breath and lifted his head. Buffy’s eyes were closed and she was holding her breath. He placed his hand on her cheek, and her eyes opened wide with worry.
“Did you just say you love me?” he asked in a gritty voice. She nodded cautiously.
“Yes I did,” she whispered.
He found himself incapable of speech, and her eyes clouded with pain. Immediately he covered her mouth with his and he kept her busy until he had control of his emotions. He tore his mouth away from hers, his chest heaving.
“God, I love you so much, my love.” He eyes misted and her whole face lit up.
“Oh thank god, or else this would have been awkward!”
He laughed and hugged her close until she begged for air. Both smiled, marvelling at the depths of love shining out from each others’ eyes.
Buffy’s hand started to travel down his chest, and he couldn’t help but moan when she circled her hand around his erection.
“So, what about all this ravishing you promised me?” He gulped and covered one of her breasts with his hand as he spoke against her lips.
“Ravishing will commence right now.”
Soon the moonlight caressed their naked bodies as they writhed together on the bed. Hushed murmurs and hoarse moans punctuated their pleasure as it rose quickly to a shattering crescendo.
***
Xander stretched lazily as he came down the stairs. The kitchen was filled with giggling girls, and he smiled broadly as he joined them. He grabbed a cup of coffee and kissed Anya good morning.
“Morning ladies! What’s for breakfast?” Willow playfully punched him in the shoulder.
“You can make your own, thank you very much.”
Xander huffed, “I thought we were having this big communal breakfast like yesterday, except maybe this time Buffy and Giles would have surprised us with it.” Willow laughed at his pitiful expression.
“We were slightly disappointed as well, but it looks like she and Giles have taken the morning off.” Xander looked up from the sugar bowl he’d been playing with.
“What do you mean?”
“Well, they’re not here, there’s no trace of them what so ever, and Buffy’s made her bed and everything. Maybe they are out running or something, but they have to have been gone for hours.” Xander shrugged his shoulders and went back to stirring his coffee.
“No rest for the Slayer-Watcher team huh? Wow, they must have heaps of energy, they’re always at it. I wonder how Giles can keep up with Buffy.” The others nodded their heads solemnly in agreement.
Xander stretched again, and glanced out at the window. “You know what guys, I’m gonna take a quick swim. Anyone want to come?”
They all declined and he ran upstairs to get his trunks and returned quickly. His beach towel was hanging on a chair and he grabbed that with one hand as his other hand grabbed the door handle. He twisted it as he stepped forward and stepped smack into the door. It was locked. The girls laughed at him, and he darted them an embarrassed look. Then something struck him and he froze. Without turning he addressed Anya.
“Honey, do you still have the key to this house?”
Anya, shot him a confused look. “Yes, they’re upstairs. I locked the door last night before I went to bed. Remember?” Xander closed his eyes and nodded, as if he had expected her to say that.
“Right. So how would Giles and Buffy have been able to lock the door if they went out this morning if they didn’t have a key?” Now they all looked at him with even more confusion and Xander took a deep breath.
He turned slowly around and looked over at the couch, where Buffy’s pillow and sheets were folded neatly and stacked in one corner. His eyes continued to the dining table, where he saw the two wineglasses standing closely together, and then his eyes landed on the floor. Or more correctly, on a Cosmopolitan magazine that looked like it had been haphazardly thrown on the floor.
He shook his head, refusing to believe his own thoughts, and then his eyes travelled down the hall to Giles’ bedroom door.
“How long have you guys been up?” He directed at no one in particular. Tara looked at Willow who answered.
“I got up a couple of hours ago.” She looked down the hall as if she was trying to see what Xander was staring at and then she looked back at him. “Xander, what’s going on?”
He merely shook his head and slowly walked down the hall. The girls looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and then followed.
When he was outside Giles’ bedroom door, Xander waved his hand behind his back to indicate the others should keep it down, and then slowly twisted the handle of the door. All held their breath, the girls not sure why, as the door slowly opened.
Xander looked inside, the girls peering over his shoulder, and all their jaws dropped in astonishment.
Chapter 6
Giles’ bed was a complete mess with the pillows and sheets all jumbled together. In the midst of it all, the gang saw Giles laying on his side, with Buffy curled up against his chest, both deeply asleep.
“Are they naked?” Willow whispered incredulously.
Xander refused to answer that. Even though they were mostly covered, there was no doubt that this was not innocent cuddling. No matter how much he tried, there was no way he failed to notice Buffy’s bare back, and what he suspected was her equally bare front, pressed up against Giles’ naked chest. But that was already too much to wrap his mind around. He didn’t need to picture other places they were naked as well.
“No doubt about it!” Anya whispered, and Xander groaned silently. All in the door froze as they saw Giles stir.
***
The cool morning breeze from the open window made Giles stir as it brushed against his naked back. His front, though, was nice and warm, and he didn’t even have to open his eyes to know why.
With a lazy smile he tightened his arms around Buffy. The feel of her snuggled against his chest was indescribable, and he briefly wondered if he might still be dreaming.
He decided to keep his eyes shut, just in case he was. Instead, he buried his nose in her hair and breathed her in. As he moved, he could feel several muscles protest, and he knew for a fact that making love to Buffy last night had not been a dream.
Deciding to wake her up once again, and hoping for a just as favourable reaction as he got last night, he slipped one of is thighs between hers and let his hands run up and down her naked back. He felt her wake, and one of her arms slipped around his waist as she pulled herself closer.
“Mmmm,” she murmured into his chest. “Are you ever planning on letting me sleep more than a few hours Mr. Giles?”
Giles grinned above her head. “Not in the immediate future, Miss Summers.”
Still keeping his eyes closed he kissed her hair and was just about to move his lips down to her neck when he heard a loud cough. Giles and Buffy froze. With a sense of dread, he raised his head and opened his eyes, and found he was being stared at by four shocked faces.
Buffy kept her face pressed into his chest, and he realised she had decided to leave this situation entirely to him. The first thing that came to mind was that he should deny everything. No matter how ridiculous it might be.
“This is not what it looks like” he said immediately.
He cringed as he saw the disbelieving faces of his friends. The fact that Buffy giggled into his chest didn’t help. He couldn’t help but laugh.
“Oh alright it is, but we can explain.” That made Buffy giggle even harder. Their friends still hadn’t said a word, and Giles found himself at a loss to what to say next. Thankfully Xander came to his rescue. He pushed the others out of the door while talking over his shoulder.
“We didn’t see anything! We’ll just be waiting outside until you guys can get your stories straight.”
The door closed behind them, leaving Buffy and Giles in silence. Buffy finally lifted her head from his chest and looked up at him. He was trying his damndest not to laugh.
“This is not what it looks like?” she repeated back at him, and they both started laughing. Giles rolled her onto her back, and as they looked at each other the laughter died. He stroked her cheek softly with the back of his hand.
“Good morning” he murmured in a voice that made Buffy shiver.
She retuned the gesture while whispering in return, “Wonderful morning.” Giles’ eyes sparkled, and he let one finger run across her bottom lip.
“I love you” he spoke softly. Buffy closed her eyes briefly to prevent blissful tears from spilling, and when she felt she had her emotions under control she opened them.
“I love you too, so much.”
No more words were needed as their mouths met in a passionate kiss. As opposed to last night’s hungry lovemaking, this morning was slow and gentle. Now that their immediate hunger for each other had been sated, they took time to explore and let every touch linger. The fact that their friends were waiting for them was of no importance. The need to be together again was too strong.
*
Buffy revelled in every little moan and gasp she got from him, and she felt her blood rush fiercely though her body as his kisses deepened. Her hands dug into his hair while she explored his mouth, and she moaned as his body pressed her into the mattress.
She melted like wax as he caressed her breast, and she almost came apart as his hand slipped between her thighs. His kisses moved from her mouth, to her cheeks, to her neck and then down to her breasts. His hand continued to move between her legs, and she found it more and more difficult to breathe.
His kisses moved to her ribs, then down her stomach to her belly button. Every nerve in her body screamed out in pleasure as he replaced his hand with his mouth. Her fingers twisted in the sheets of the bed as she received the most intimate of caresses. She bit her lips from screaming out loud, and she wasn’t sure if she was disappointed or relieved when he moved away from her just as she was about to explode in pleasure. Giles made his way back up, dropping slow moist kisses on her heated skin.
Finally, his mouth found hers and he swallowed both their cries of pleasure as he sank deep inside of her. Buffy curled her legs around his waist as he started to move inside her. Their movements became harder and faster until she felt as if she was about to explode. She clung to him and pulled him as close as she could get him without disrupting their movements.
Suddenly a tremble went through her and she cried out her release through clenched teeth. From far away she heard his deep moan as he came with a last shudder, and he crumbled on top of her.
For a long time they remained in each others’ embrace, Giles still deeply buried inside Buffy. Their hands were soothingly moving over damp skin, and words of love were murmured. When their furiously beating hearts had calmed, he lifted his weight from Buffy’s form and lay down next to her.
He brushed some hair out of her face and let his hand drop to her waist. “Right now I’m rather ashamed to say that I wish we were alone here.” He murmured. Buffy stroked his cheek lovingly.
“I know. As much as I love our friends, I wish I could have the chance to enjoy you all day without having to worry about what they think or say.” Giles leaned his forehead against hers, and gently nudged her nose with his before dropping a kiss on her lips.
“And how would you enjoy me all day if we were alone Miss Summers?”
Buffy laughed and pinched him playfully. “Wouldn’t you like to know?”
He grinned and nodded. “Damn right, I would. Now let me in on your wicked secrets. I need something to keep me going all day if I have to keep myself from touching you.”
Buffy sobered. “You know what? Screw them. If I want to enjoy you in front of them all day then I will. If they don’t like it, tough!”
Giles put on a shocked face. “Who knew you were such an exhibitionist?”
Buffy laughed. “I didn’t mean sex, you pervert! I meant, if I want to kiss or touch you, I will kiss and touch you. No matter what they say or do.” Giles grinned impishly and then pouted.
“No more sex?” He sighed theatrically and rolled onto his back while resting his forearm over his eyes. “There’s no reason to get up I tell you.” Buffy pounced on him and he grabbed her waist with a laugh as she straddled him.
“Giles! I didn’t say no more sex. Well, no sex in front of them, yes, I have to draw the line there, but I didn’t mean no sex at all.” His breath caught as he watched her golden hair frame her face, and his hands stroked her waist and hips.
“Is that so?” he said huskily.
Buffy nodded and then leaned down to kiss him. Soon they forgot all about their friends and were lost in each other once again.
***
Tara, Willow and Xander all sat around the table on the porch with stunned expressions. Anya was studiously ignoring them, not understanding what the big deal was. After the initial surprise had passed she felt it made all complete sense.
Xander turned to Willow and Tara. “Did you guys know anything about this?”
“Us?” Willow asked incredulously. “You were the one who seemed the least surprised this morning, Xander. How did you know?”
Xander shook his head. “I just followed the breadcrumbs . . . let’s just leave it at that ok?”
Tara and Willow looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Xander rubbed the back of his neck, then looked at his watch.
“They are sure taking their time, huh?”
“Well, they’re probably busy giving each other orgasms.” Anya said from behind her magazine. “From the looks of what your cough interrupted I would say so, for sure.”
Xander glared at her. “Too much information Anya’”
Anya blew him off. “Oh, grow up, Xander.”
Xander shook his head and looked back at the blushing Willow and Tara. “So, how do we feel about this?”
Willow and Tara looked at each other for a minute and then they smiled. Willow turned to Xander.
“You know what Xander, if they are happy we’re happy. And to me it looked like they were really really happy.”
Xander had to agree with that. He’d only seen Giles’ face, but his friend had looked uber-happy, and the way Buffy had responded to his touch he suspected Buffy was really happy, too.
“Ok, I gotta agree. Let’s be good friends and be supportive.” He looked out towards the ocean. “They really deserve it and I gotta say it makes sense.”
He shared a tentative smile with the others and then returned to his breakfast.
***
An hour later Buffy appeared at the door with Giles at her side. Both looked slightly worried. And both had wet hair, Xander noted with a slight cringe. Last time he looked it wasn’t raining, but he did not want to dwell on that thought. Instead, he just smiled.
Before anyone had the chance to say a word Buffy and Giles sat down, and Buffy went straight to the point.
“Ok, I don’t think much explanation is in order. Giles and I are in love. We will not tolerate any jokes or any comments. You will, during the course of the day, be witnessing many PDAs, and you guys have to deal. Capiche?”
Xander, Willow and Tara all grinned and nodded their heads. However no one was prepared for Anya’s happy comment.
“Aww, you guys are in love? I thought you guys were just doing it!”
Giles blushed furiously and started pinching the bridge of his nose again. All Buffy could do was nod, and Anya’s smile widened as she waved the Cosmopolitan back and forth in front of them.
“So tell me Buffy, can Giles back up the statement he made yesterday?”
Xander choked on his coffee, and once again Willow started laughing hysterically. Giles only covered his face in his hands. Buffy looked her with a dropped jaw and then got a spark in her eye and leaned forward.
“And then some, Anya.”
Anya looked at Giles proudly and then back at Buffy. “Well, good for you.”
Buffy started laughing and leaned her head against Giles’ shoulder. By now he had dropped his hands and grabbed the Cosmopolitan away from Anya and chucked it out on the lawn.
“Case closed, alright?”
Anya frowned, got up and headed down the stairs to the lawn to pick it up.
“Well, you don’t have to manhandle the magazine, Giles. If I hadn’t brought it you wouldn’t have gotten any.” Buffy laughed as Giles glared at Anya, and then leaned up and kissed him sweetly.
“Think about that, Giles. What a story to tell our grandchildren!”
At Buffy’s words, Giles got an amazed look on his face. He turned to look at her with so much joy that Willow, Tara and Xander all got a little misty eyed. Not caring who was watching, he leaned down and kissed her thoroughly. As Xander started to cough, Buffy broke the kiss and glared at Xander.
“That’s your one get out of jail card, Xander.” She grabbed Giles by the hand and pulled him toward the kitchen. “I warned you, tons of PDAs!”
After they left, Xander looked at Tara and Willow with a grin. “I don’t think one kiss constitutes as tons of PDA. I’m not sure Giles has it in him.”
Willow and Tara looked intrigued. They were both curious to see how comfortable Giles was with public display of affection.
Chapter 7
The gang had to admit that they’d been more than surprised. Giles most definitely had it in him to show PDAs. During the course of the morning he had hugged and kissed Buffy every chance he got. Or more correctly, he had hugged and kissed Buffy every time when she wasn’t busy doing the same to him.
And surprisingly, Xander hadn’t been bothered by it. He could see the love between them, and their PDAs were loving and sweet -- not groping or disgusting like many other couples he’d seen who couldn’t care less that they were in public. He looked over at Anya and grinned. Like how he and Anya sometimes forgot.
After lunch Giles and Buffy entertained them all immensely by training on the lawn. Though Xander would’ve probably called it a mockery of their previous training sessions, because he was pretty sure their regular training didn’t involved tickling, kissing and wedgies. Well, at least not up until now.
Now they were both lying on the grass on their stomachs facing each other talking quietly. Xander couldn’t hear what they were saying, but since it looked like that entertainment was over he left them to what he suspected was shop talk.
****
“Is that so?” Giles asked Buffy with a rather smug smile. Buffy blushed and nodded vigorously. “I’ll most definitely keep that in mind for next time” Giles said as he grinned boyishly.
Buffy’s face got even redder and she grabbed on of Giles’ hands. “Now it’s your turn.”
Giles pretended to think as he tried to ignore the tingling sensation he got from the feel of Buffy’s fingers stroking his hand.
“Well, the feel of your hair against my chest causes shivers down my spine, that’s for sure. But when you nibble on my neck, right here” he pointed to an area beneath his ear “it makes me want to growl.”
Buffy watched intently and tightened her hold on his hand. “Really? Never heard you growl when I do that.”
Giles grinned. “Well, I didn’t want to give in too easy you know. Need to keep you on your toes.”
Buffy smiled coyly. “Oh I’ll be on my toes alright. Don’t you worry about that.”
Giles sobered and lifted her fingers to his lips. “But what drives me absolutely insane is when I bury myself deeply inside of you. Your breasts move against my chest . . . in sync with our heavy breathing . . . and your thighs slide up against mine and you cradle me. By then I am absolutely gone. Not a thought is left in my head, except you.”
Buffy’s eyes widened, and Giles heard her breath catch. Occasionally nibbling on her fingers he continued. “And when we move together, I can feel in your kiss, and your hands that move restlessly across my body, how much you want me, and that is my undoing.”
By now he wasn’t sure if Buffy was breathing anymore, and he scooted forward and rested his forehead against hers. “How was that?”
Buffy drew in a big gulp of air and laughed breathlessly. “Wow, you are so much better at this then me. And I started this game!”
Giles grinned smugly and kissed her nose. “Well, we’ll just have to play it often then. Practice makes perfect, you know.”
Buffy just looked at him with big eyes and said in a rushed voice. “I want you so much right now.”
That made Giles laugh loudly. He quickly got up and pulled Buffy up from the grass. As she swayed a little on her feet, he picked her up in his arms and started heading down towards the beach.
“As you wish, my love, as you wish.”
***
The moon shone brightly at the beach house, and the fireplace was the only source of light for the three couples cuddled together in the living room. Giles stroked Buffy’s hair gently. She was cradled in his arms, deeply asleep against his chest. It was late, and little by little conversation had died out, and several of them were now asleep.
Giles marvelled at the fact that this wonderful woman he was holding in his arms was now his. Within a few short days his fondest wish had come true. Occasionally he thought about pinching himself just to make sure he was still awake.
They’d spent the better part of the day down at the beach, and then all of them had enjoyed a fun-filled dinner, where they all had tried their damndest to make him blush. It had worked, of course, but it had been playful, and he had enjoyed himself immensely. The fact that Buffy seemed to be as happy and in love with him as he was with her was truly an amazing feeling.
He looked down at the sleeping beauty in his arms, leaned to kiss her hair softly, then rested his head against hers. He heard Xander speak and looked over to find him, cradling an equally asleep Anya against his chest.
“What did you say Xander?” he asked, in a hushed voice.
Xander smiled and repeated his words. “I said, you’ve got it bad don’t you?”
Giles blushed slightly and then nodded with a smile. “I would say your observation is correct.”
He looked back down at Buffy and stroked her cheek. She smiled slightly in her sleep. “I would say I’ve got it real bad.”
Xander smiled. “I’m really happy for you. I mean, I’m, of course, happy for both of you, because I’ve gotta say I have never seen Buffy this happy.” He looked intently at Giles. “Never this happy Giles, I need you to know that.”
Giles looked at him and blinked his eyes rapidly.
Xander cleared his throat a little before continuing. “But I am extra happy for you, Giles. You’re too good of a man to be alone. . . and I’ve always thought you deserve as much happiness as you can get.”
The look in Giles eyes threatened to make Xander’s eyes mist, and he looked quickly away. “Anyway . . . ” No more words were needed.
A few minutes passed and then Giles broke the silence. “Thank you Xander. The same goes for you. You know that, right?”
Xander looked at him again and then he looked down at Anya. “Thanks. I feel pretty damn happy, as well.” Anya suddenly let out a long snore, and both men chuckled. “Ok how about getting our women to bed? I’ll wake Willow and Tara.”
Giles nodded and moved Buffy slightly so he could stand, and then he picked her up in his arms and carried her down to his bedroom. She curled up trustingly against his chest, and he placed a loving kiss to her forehead as he lowered her on the bed.
“Giles?” she murmured, half asleep.
“I’m right here Buffy.”
She smiled tiredly with her eyes closed and patted the side of the bed. Giles unbuttoned his shirt and then dropped his jeans to the floor. He sat down next to her and gently sat her up so he could get her undressed. She rested against him.
“Are you ravishing me?” she asked sleepily. He chuckled, removed her top and bra and laid her back down.
“Not tonight, love. Just go back to sleep.” He laughed again as he saw her attempt a pout, and gently kissed her lips. He unbuttoned her jeans and then crawled into bed with her. He pulled her close and whispered into her hair.
“I love you, Buffy.”
She buried herself closer into his chest. “I love you, too, Giles.”
Chapter 8
Buffy was slightly confused as she woke next morning, because she couldn’t really remember going to bed. But as she looked at the sleeping man next to her she really didn’t care. She was right where she wanted to be.
He was on his back, and the sheets were resting low on his waist. She enjoyed this opportunity to watch him while he was asleep and let her eyes travel his body. During their love making, she’d been too busy having her mind blown by him. She regretfully realised he had more or less been in charge. She had been pretty much incapable of doing anything more than just reciprocating. Giles definitely knew what he was doing, and she could feel her breath quicken from just thinking about it. She figured it was about time she got the chance to blow his mind away.
She contemplated giving his stomach a love bite of her own, but decided against it. Who knew how he would react to such treatment? It could be risky. She decided that she’d try it another time.
Instead, she leaned over his chest and placed butterfly kisses all over his pecs. She knew the moment he woke, because his breathing pattern changed. His former slow breathing was increasing rapidly, and she could hear his heart beat faster as well. With a grin against his chest, she let one of her hands slide under the sheet and run lightly over the front of his boxers. His breath caught and as she caressed his now hardening erection, she could feel his whole body trying to hold back a growl.
She giggled lightly and let her tongue run lightly over his nipple. She got her growl, alright. His hand tangled in her hair, and she sat up and met his desire-ridden eyes with her own.
“Good morning, handsome” she whispered seductively. His eyes darkened and his other hand reached out to pull her face down to his, but she intercepted it with her own.
“Nope, this morning I’m in charge. You just lay back and relax.”
He laughed breathlessly. “Relax?” he asked incredulously. “Do you even know me at all?”
Buffy laughed in return and leaned down to kiss his lips. He stretched lightly, like a happy cat, as he returned the kiss. Then he froze when her hand slipped inside his boxers.
“Oh god, Buffy, you’re going to kill me.” He groaned.
Buffy laughed against his lips and then moved to nibble on the spot on his neck that drove him a little crazy. He emitted another growl and she grinned smugly. Morning Giles was apparently an easy Giles.
She moved down his neck and returned her mouth to one of his nipples. He growled again, and let one of his hands tangle into her hair. His other hand moved restlessly over back, down her buttocks and thighs, and up again. He squirmed in pleasure, and she felt him stop breathing when she moved her kisses down to his stomach and belly button. She looked up at him, and she saw his eyes were tightly closed.
“Breath, Giles” she whispered soothingly. He opened his eyes and raised his head to give her a disbelieving look.
“You’ve got to be kidding me!” he strangled out.
Buffy laughed in delight and returned her attention back to the smooth skin of his stomach. His stomach muscles tightened, and she heard him try to force himself to breathe.
“Ticklish?” she asked with her lips against his skin, as she let the hand that had been stroking his erection tug on his boxers. He lifted his pelvis so she could tug them down his legs and then he kicked them off the rest of the way.
“Something like that . . . ” he answered in a strangled voice. Buffy let her lips travel further south, but then suddenly she felt Giles hand on her shoulder.
“Buffy if you plan on doing what I think you’re planning on doing I must beg you to stop.”
Buffy looked up at him with a confused look. “You don’t like it, Giles?”
Giles laughed as if he was in pain. “God, yes love, but if you do that right now it will all be over very quickly.”
He tugged on her hand so she moved up along his body, and he placed a hand on her cheek. “As you might have figured out I am quite, ah, easy in the morning. The fact that it’s you tears all my defences down. I want to be inside of you, my love. That can wait.”
Buffy nodded with a smile and then leaned down to kiss him. He reciprocated in full, and soon every touch of his hands made her shiver. She straddled him and, while looking deeply in his eyes, she sank down on him. Giles moaned, and tightened his hands on her waist.
As she started to move he gasped and pulled her down so he could kiss her. Buffy whimpered into his mouth, and in no time they both went hurling over the edge. She collapsed on his chest, and Giles tightened his arms around her as he struggled to draw air into his lungs.
When he felt he had some strength back he rolled them gently to the side and brushed some hair away from her face. She opened her eyes and smiled a 10,000-watt smile that he felt all the way into the bottom of his soul.
He kissed her slowly and then laid his head on the pillow next to her.
“I love you.” He whispered.
“I love you too, Giles.” She returned and let her fingers gently trail the shape of his face.
Several minutes passed as they watched each other until Buffy’s eyes lit up with a mischievous spark. “Got several growls from you today.” Giles let out a big laugh and pulled her close.
“That you did my love, that you did.”
