Small Steps...

Finally Wesley came in with me from the roof, the words before we'd fled the rain still ringing in my ears.

"Thank you for coming back Lilah. I can't promise you...anything."Since when had I ever asked him for more than he could offer? I'd known the score, even back then. No promises. Hell, we'd even made a bet over who'd be

Sitting down on the bed I shiver a bit at the cold air around us. It's probably the first time since a long while since I've felt anything. It's frightening, even if it's just cold air. I've not felt anything in such a long time that I don't even know what to do with that

"Why don't you go ahead. That way I don't have to listen to you whine about me hogging all the hot water. I'd never get any sleep that way."

I snorted and tossed him a mock-glare.

"Excuse me? I don't whine Wesley, whining is for wussies. I complain, strongly and repeatedly and with much gusto. And for the record, I don't snore either."

I slung the Cavalli jacket onto the radiator and began to unbutton my blouse.

"Unless you wanted to share."I felt a tiny flutter in my stomach when Wesley looked at me with a smirk on his face. The man was actually smirking at me! He'd almost looked and sounded like the old Wesley just then

Blinking slowly I look down at her hands unbuttoning my shirt. How long have I been wearing that? Taking a deep breath I can actually smell it. Must have been a few days then. As Lilah gets to the third button I bring up my hand and fold it over hers. "I think I remember how to do this, Lilah," I say softly.

Dropping my hands to the side, I glance around the room. All the rooms look alike here. As if nothing has changed. Nothing will change. How very wrong. Make one wrong turn and everything changes. Everything. Your life, your feelings.

Who you are...

"How you doing?"

"Five by five, Faith."

"Just like riding a biker."

"Wesley? Could you have loved me?"

"Why can't I stay?"

"As far as I'm concerned, we're okay now."

"What happened to you man?"

"I got my throat slit and all my friends abandoned me."

"The iron is hot, Wes. You gotta move now."

"You had sex on my desk. Why should I be surprised that there's now a baby on it?"

"Leave them on."Leaning forward I squeeze my eyes shut and press the flat of my palms against my

Things had been going swell until I reached the third button.

"I think I remember how to do this, Lilah," He murmured, stilling my hands with his own fingers. Yet he made no move to carry on what I was doing. Instead he looked around the room as if he saw something I didn't. Then he clutched at his head, as if trying to shut out whatever it was that he could see.

"Shut up."

Or hear. What the hell was he experiencing? I grabbed at his hands and tried to make him look at me.

"What is it, what's wrong. Wesley, talk to me." I hated how panicked I sounded in my voice. But I was scared. I didn't know how to handle this.

"And then some," I agree with her. Slowly I pick up the pace, Keeping one hand tightly around her wrists as my other hand wanders down her body. I claim her lips again, pushing my tongue inside of her at the same time I thrust into her. She clenches around me hard, making me moan into her mouth

Wesley was taking his time, gradually cranking up the pace, and I was panting for more, straining to meet every thrust and grind of his hips

The pain as her nails dig into the flesh on my back are well known, familiar. Welcomed. I've not been able to feel anything for so long. Had not wanted to feel anything, least of all pain. But she managed to make me feel again. Feel pain and enjoy it. I arch into her hands as I push myself up on my elbows

Wesley thrust deeply into me as I clung to him, his hips jerking faster and faster, and then I felt him freeze for a second. Finally he was tumbling over the abyss with me, crying out my name as he let himself go, let himself find release in my embrace. I pulled Wesley closer, my legs and arms still wrapped tightly around him.

Won’t let you go this time. Not without a fight.

We lay panting for a little while, trying to calm our clamoring heartbeats and then he flipped me over, dragging me to lie on top of him. I was still in a daze, body tingling from all the attention his mouth, hands and cock had given me. I sprawled over his body, the heat radiating from his damp skin was making me drowsy but in a good way, in a wonderful way. His hands were caressing my back, supple fingers still working their magic on me.

He bent down and kissed my forehead gently. I’d missed that. Missed the small gestures that meant so much, if you let them.

Welcome back, Lilah."Welcome back yourself, Wesley." I murmured, once I was calm enough to string
