The lovers were still in the hot tub, and Willow was still in a bit of panic as Tara closed in on her. Both of them in a more sober state since the incident.

"Tara...I just don't think it's a good idea." The redhead said, her girlfriend's face only a centimeter away.

Tara backed away a little. "Will, it was a freak accident...come on baby," The blonde took a step forward, "You know how sad I'll be if you leave me like this?" Tara asked as she took her lover's hand and put it on the wetness between her legs.

Willow swallowed hard as she drew her hand back. "Ok...but in the bedroom." She then started to get out of the hot tub.

Tara grinned as she followed her lover out of the hot tub. She chuckled as Willow put her still wet robe on. They both had their arms crossed, trying to block the freezing cold. They then made their way to the bedroom, Willow's robe dripping as she walked, and Tara still naked.

As they entered the room, Tara closed the door, rolling her eyes at the sounds of her friends moans coming through the wall. She walked over to the wall and banged on it two times. She smiled as the noises stopped instantly. She turned and stopped as she took in her lover's now naked form. "Do you know how hot you are?" Tara asked as she looked into the redhead's eyes.

"Definitely not as hot as you." Willow countered as she too looked into the blonde's eyes.

"You're right, not as hot....hotter." She said as she started to move slowly towards Willow, still gazing into green eyes.

Willow blushed a little at her girlfriend's words, but still held the deep blue eyes that seemed to be looking into her soul.

"Do you know how much I love you?" Tara asked as she continued to move slowly to Willow.

"Not as much as I love you." Willow answered.

"I feel like you're a dream, I get scared that I might wake up and you won't be here." Tara said as her eyes started to get watery.

"It's not a dream, I'm here and always will be.....forever." The redhead said as she too started to tear up.

"Forever and always?" Tara asked, a tear slipping down her cheek. Her feelings for the redhead were so intense that it did indeed scare her. She was now in front of her lover.

Willow gave her girlfriend a nod. "Yes, the only place I want to be is with you." She wiped the tear from Tara's cheek before kissing her deeply.

They held each other tight as they kissed, each could feel the love from the other coursing through them in the kiss. It felt as if their hearts and souls were uniting as one. Neither heard the moans that were now once again coming from the other room, all of their senses surrounded one another. Passion, trust, and eternal love soared through them in waves as the embrace tightened. Naked flesh against naked flesh, mouths and tongues moving against each other, hands gripping the other for dear life, not wanting this moment to end. The kiss ended, each woman was now panting as they stared at each other.

The blonde picked the smaller girl up and laid her gently on the bed. Tara crawled onto the bed, stopping at the redhead's feet. She placed a gentle kiss on the top of Willow's foot, slowly kissing her way up smooth legs. She stopped and placed a kiss on the red curls before continuing up the redhead's stomach. She placed gentle kisses between her lover's breasts up to her neck until she reached Willow's mouth, where she gave her a passionate kiss.

Willow roamed her hands over Tara's body as they were kissing. She felt like she couldn't get close enough even though the blonde was laying on top of her. She rolled them both to the side so she could touch her lover more. Her hand slid across the softness of Tara's side, breasts, stomach, and back as they kissed. She opened her legs a little as she felt her lover's hand reach the top of her red curls and proceed downward.

As Tara gently stroked the outside of her slit, she moved her own hand down to the blonde curls of her lover cupping the mound and putting pressure on it.

They pulled back from the kiss so they could look at the love each other's eyes held. They both entered the other and started to pump with soft, slow strokes. They were in no hurry, they were lost in each others eyes as well as the pleasure of being inside their lover while having their lover inside them at the same time.

"I love you, my Willow." Tara whispered, her breath heavy.

"I love you too, my Tara." Willow smiled and gave the blonde a tender kiss before pulling back again to look into the eyes of the woman who held her heart.

The pace of fingers started to speed up as the fast rhythm of two hearts were beating in sync with one another. Ragged breathing and moans escaped partially open lips, heavy eyelids that threatened to close were forced to stay open. Sweat glistened bodies trembled as the wave of ecstasy started. Still lost in the feeling and each others eyes, both women screamed the other's name as love and the power of the orgasm ripped through them. They pulled their soaked hands from the other's center as they relaxed in each other's arms.

Willow pushed a strand of sweat soaked hair from the side of the blonde's face behind her ear. Her heavy and sleepy eyes still held Tara's. She gave the blonde a loving kiss before leaning in and cuddling next to her girlfriend.

Tara smiled as her lover cuddled against her. She reached beside her and pulled the blanket up and covered them. She craned her neck to see the redhead sleeping with a smile on her lips. She too smiled and closed her eyes, sleep overtaking her quickly.

Tara awoke to an empty bed, a note replaced her lover beside her. After a minute of squinting away the offending light that came from the curtains, she reached for the note.

In the kitchen for much needed coffee.
Love,
Willow

She smiled and got out of bed, she decided she would go and greet her lover before showering. She opened the door and the smell of freshly brewed coffee cascaded over her. Just as she was walking past her friend's bedroom door, it opened, a very irritated looking Buffy walking out. "Rough night?"

Buffy jumped as the unexpected voice entered her ears. "I don't remember the night. But saying rough morning would be the understatement of the year." She grumbled as she tried to block the light from her eyes with her hands.

Tara smirked at her friend's appearance. The usually combed blonde hair looked like a rats nest, and well...Tara couldn't exactly look down, she had already done that and found it was a big mistake. "So um...is that what you're wearing today?"

Buffy gave a confused look and looked down to see she only wore a bra and panties. There was a small "shit" followed by a slamming door.

Tara giggled and made her way into the kitchen. She saw Faith smiling at Willow, who was looking in the same state as Buffy was in, except her girlfriend did have on clothes and looked freshly showered. "Is Faith being nice?" She asked as she reached Willow's side.

"I'm always nice." Faith gave her best innocent look and sipped her coffee.

"Yeah well you need to keep tabs on your girl, unless you like her parading around in her underwear?" Tara said as she sat in a chair next to Willow.

Before Faith could respond, Buffy entered the kitchen holding out a brush, her hair in the same state as before. "I can't get the knots out," She pouted. "What did you do to me last night?" She huffed and sat in an empty seat at the table, across from her friends.

"You really want to know? Cause I don't mind saying." Faith told her girlfriend.

"That's okay...we really don't need to know." Willow said, not wanting to know anymore details about her friend's sex life than she already did. She groaned as she saw her cup was empty. She gave a small smile as her girlfriend stood and fetched her more coffee.

"And why does it have to be my fault? You were totally fucked up last night." Faith accused, standing across the kitchen and leaning on the counter.

"So? I have a right to get drunk if I want." Buffy countered.

"Yes, you do have that right, and the right to sing karaoke." The brunette grinned at the look on her girlfriend's face.

"Karaoke? Me? Sing?" Buffy asked in a childlike voice, praying that it didn't really happen.

"That's right, you sang your heart out, and in front of everyone." She smiled at her cute blushing lover.

Willow giggled at the thought of Buffy singing karaoke. She couldn't really remember it but the thought was funny.

"What are you laughing at Red? You were singing right along with her." Faith laughed as she remembered the two girls singing.

Willow's jaw dropped a little. "No...not me. I don't sing, never, right baby?" She looked hopeful at her girlfriend for an answer.

Tara sat Willow's cup on the table and sat down beside her lover. She gave the redhead an apologetic look.

"Oh god." Willow dropped her head at the confirmed information.

"But it was beautiful." The blonde smiled and rubbed her girlfriend's back, trying to offer comfort.

"Beautiful?" Faith laughed at her friend's choice of words.

Tara gave her friend a dangerous glare. "Yes! BEAUTIFUL!" She half yelled at her friend. Faith liked to tease, hell, even she liked to tease but sometimes her friend crossed the line.

"Whoa...jeez," She put her hands up in a surrendering motion. "Lets go fix your hair babe." She said to her girlfriend. She smirked and shook her head at Tara as she left the kitchen.

Tara gave her friend a small smile to let her know they were cool as Faith left. She then turned her attention back to the redhead. "Seriously, it wasn't bad at all." She said as she tried to peek under Willow's hair to look at her face. "In fact, lots of guys were whistling at you. I thought I was gonna have to do some serious ass kicking." She smiled as her lover's head finally lifted a little.

"Really? I didn't suck?" Willow asked in a weak voice.

"No, you were sexy." Tara gave her a half smile as green eyes finally looked up.

The redhead smiled through her blush and took Tara's hand. "You always know what to say."
