She's very cute.

I watch as she lays out the research material for the evening. Every so often she leans forward revealing a decent look at her cleavage.

I've always been a fan of hers. Ever since I was little when she used to come around and hang out with Buffy. We used to have all kinds of inside jokes between us for going over Buffy's head with some reference or idea that we both understood. My sister never studied enough to really get them. That's what made them fun. They were just between us. She was one of the only people who actually got me, even a little. With the exception of when she crashed the car and when she tried to destroy the world, she stood up for me in ways that not even Buffy did.

I guess it's not the only thing that's going to be between us anymore. Not if I can find a way into her pants tonight. It might take me a while to figure it out, but I will find a way in. I mean, if Kennedy can find a way in then it can't be that hard. I found a way into Kennedy's pants and she's not the most subtle person in the world. I'm sure there's a way into her girlfriend's. It's just a matter of time.

She bends over to pick up a few things, giving me a nice look at her ass.

She's got a really nice ass. I'm not sure why I never noticed it before. Although if I'm honest, I probably have from time to time, I just didn't want to acknowledge it. But there's nothing holding me back now. I can admire her ass without worrying about the consequences. In fact, I can enjoy the potential consequences and have a little fun when they do.

She stands up again and turns with a smile, laying out the books and showing her cleavage again. She notices me looking at her.

"What?"

I smile back.

"Nothing, it's just..."

I kinda want to bend you over right now.

"This is nice. It's been a while since you and I spent some time together... alone."

That has her smiling.

"That's true. I guess with all the craziness of The First, closing the hellmouth and figuring things out, we haven't had a lot of time to just hang out and talk."

"Well we do now. It's part of why I wanted to get together for this spell. Give us a chance to get reacquainted."

On many different levels.

She makes her way over to the couch and sits not far from me. It gives me a good look at her legs as her skirt isn't very long.

I can't wait to get in between them.

"I love that idea. How are you? How's things with Faith?"

Hmm, could be an opening.

"I'm good. We're good. Maybe a little too good actually."

Willow gets this curious look on her face.

"Too good? Is that even a thing?"

"I'm not sure there's any other way to describe it. We're so happy that we're comfortable enough to... try things."

"Try things?"

I attempt to look a little embarrassed by the idea.

"You know... things... bedroom type things."

What I'm saying makes her a little embarrassed.

"Oh..."

"Sorry, is it weird for me to talk about this stuff?"

After shifting uncomfortably, she tries to act all cool about it.

"No, no of course not."

"It's, you know, interesting. Faith knows that I'm not as... experienced as her. So she's encouraged me to try things out. Come to her with ideas. And she's happy to do them with me."

I pause for a moment as she continues to act cool.

"Do you and Kennedy... try things like that?"

It takes her a second to respond.

"Hmm? What?"

I move a little closer to her and she doesn't object.

"Do you and Kennedy... experiment?"

Again she waits to say anything.

"Oh, uh... not really."

"Really? You've been together for a while. Longer than Faith and me even. I'm surprised."

She shifts uncomfortably for a moment. I take it to put my hand on her knee. She notices but doesn't say anything.

"It's still okay that we talk about this, right?"

"Y-y-yes... and... I don't know. It's just not something we've talked about."

I let my hand move up her thigh. Again she notices but doesn't say anything.

"But you've wanted to? You know, have a conversation about... experimenting?"

"I guess, I mean... I think it might be fun to..."

My hand moves up her thigh to just underneath her skirt, making it clear where I'm going. It has her stopping mid sentence that I finish it.

"Experiment?"

The fiery redhead turns her head to look at me as I lean in until our faces are close to each other.

"Dawn... what are you doing?"

I smile as I get even closer, our lips very close.

"Experimenting..."

Before she can say anything else, I press my lips to hers, kissing her. The kiss is simple and kinda chaste at first but gets deeper fairly quickly. She pulls back.

"Dawnie... I..."

I put my index finger to her lips to stop her.

"Ssshhh... don't talk, just go with it."

Taking my finger away, I bring my lips to hers again, this time starting with a deeper kiss. I push my hand into her inner thigh and it has her opening her legs a little. With that, I press my tongue to her lips, asking for entry. Which she gives me. Our tongues battle against each others but I'm clearly in control.

She's a very good kisser. I can see why Kennedy is so desperate to keep her around. I'm going to enjoy this.

As I move my hand right up against her panties, she pulls back. I try and capture her lips again but she puts her hand on my collarbone to stop me.

"Dawnie, we can't..."

"We can if we want to. It's an experiment."

Again I lean in to her but she stops me, this time she stands up and puts some distance between us.

Well this isn't going the way I was hoping.

"Dawn... I don't know what you think is happening, but we can't."

Okay, definitely going to have to fix this.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. I just was going with the moment."

"That's not what that moment was. Or at least I didn't think so."

I reach to my hair and pull out one of the hair pins I have in there. I bring it to my finger and prick my finger.

Not what I was hoping to prick at this point.

"I'm sorry for misreading the moment."

"You should be."

The blood flows.

I need her to forget about what just happened.

"Okay, are we ready to get this research going?"

She smiles at me.

"Absolutely."

She comes back over and sits down. I watch her for a little while as she starts setting up the work ahead.

It's okay, we have all night.
