Taking her time a little more now that she was feeling more confident, Buffy made pathways over Satsu’s skin with her fingers. Traveling this way and that until Satsu was shuddering for more. She kissed her long and deep, then peppered light kisses over her jaw and down her neck, enjoying the slow build up in her lover as she showed her just how much she cared.

Even though the situation sure looked like it was just about sex – given the fact that they were part way into a tentative threesome – it was about more than that. So many things gone unsaid, unfelt until their barriers could no longer hold it back, now unhindered as they shrugged off the ties that held them back. This was sex, emotion, forgiveness, acceptance, everything that should have been and should be.

Buffy was sorry for always pushing Faith away, and she was sorry for having pushed Satsu away. It was time to make up for the wrongs; put them right.

Losing herself to touching Satsu as her fingers once again slid between warm, wet folds, Buffy faltered only slightly when Faith brushed her blonde hair to the side and kissed the back of her neck. She couldn’t contain the small moan of pleasure those full lips brought her as Faith continued kissing lightly. She felt her own need spilling into her panties and closed her eyes, mouth basking in the heated kiss Satsu was now giving her. Her fingers circled and slid over Satsu, finding the hard bump of her clit as Satsu began to lay back on the bed a little more, unable to now stay on her side facing Buffy.

Buffy followed just enough to keep up the movement of her fingers over slick, tender flesh, and not lose contact with Faith. Luckily Faith leaned with her, her leg sliding up over Buffy just a little way to bring them closer as she kept her lips moving over her neck and down to her shoulders.

She wanted to turn and kiss Faith; take her in her arms and just kiss the hell out of her. There would be time for that, so Buffy kept her focus. She wanted to give Satsu the pleasure she deserved after such a good fight, after such a bad injury, and after being so bold and sweet to have convinced Faith to stay with them.

Her own mouth traveled down across Satsu’s collarbone, noticing that Satsu was reaching across herself for. . .for Faith’s hand - Faith’s hand that was now being placed on Buffy’s stomach.

Satsu once again rested back, a sly little smile on her face as she watched Buffy close her eyes and enjoy having Faith touching her. She should have felt jealous of course, but there was no room for jealousy in this. No room for anything but sharing; giving and taking and seeking out the places within each other that they held tight to their chests with everybody else. Satsu was happy to share this with Buffy. She wanted to. And she knew that Buffy was still there with her, for her. There was no mistaking what was in Buffy’s eyes as she finally opened them to look at Satsu. No mistaking the way her fingers graced her body, and her pussy as it spilled its need for Buffy.

“Ahh,” Satsu gasped as Buffy slid her fingers harder over her. “Don’t stop.”

She was close already. Love, exhaustion, need all rolling Satsu up into a tight ball ready to spin out of control.

Buffy placed hasty kisses on Satsu’s lips as she began to breathe heavier and faster. She soon moved back to the perky breasts that had graced a lot of her fantasies lately; sucking, licking, and groaning as Faith’s hand spread wide over her stomach. It didn’t stay there long, and Buffy’s brain made a small squealing sound as she watched Faith’s hand now travel over Satsu.

“Fuck,” Satsu sighed as Faith’s hand reached the breast Buffy wasn’t busy sucking on.

Satsu arched into the touch and spread her legs wider for Buffy. This was crazy, but it was hot, and there was no way Satsu was about to start feeling guilty for wanting it. She hoped Buffy felt the same, and in order to show her - mostly - that it was ok for them to all be in it together, Satsu reached around Buffy once more, and grabbed on to Faith’s shoulder, pulling her forwards.

Luckily Buffy had decided on kissing over Satsu’s stomach now, pushing down the covers, leaving room for Faith to get closer to Satsu. They were kissing deep and hard before either girl had chance to pause and ask if Buffy would mind.

Buffy didn’t mind. She glanced up towards them, watching them kiss – tongues dipping and twisting - as Faith pulled hard at Satsu’s eager nipple. It was hot. Hot and. . .fuck it, she had to tell them.

“God, that’s hot,” Buffy breathed out lustily before licking Satsu’s stomach and sliding a finger deep into her waiting pussy.

“Oh, fuck,” Satsu groaned loudly, pulling her lips away from Faith’s. “Hai!”

Pushing in and out of Satsu, Buffy grinned up at Faith as Faith watched her – dark eyes glowing with flecks of fire.

Satsu’s head was now thrown back, and Buffy kissed her way back up to her face, placing herself between Faith and Satsu once again – not that she was trying to keep them apart. She wanted to make her lover come, and she wanted to be there to look into her eyes, and kiss her. Watching Faith and Satsu get better acquainted could come later, and despite the fact a small part of her thought it was weird to want that, a bigger part of her told her it was sexy as hell. Especially given the fact she could jump in anytime and have both of them. If that’s the way it went, which she hoped it would.

“Buffy,” Satsu gasped, repeating her name as Buffy gave her what she needed.

Sliding her sodden fingers from Satsu’s wet pussy, she concentrated her efforts on her clit, slipping hard, fast, fingers deftly bringing her to orgasm. She swept her eyes over Satsu, always amazed at her beauty and the perfection of her skin. And now, she was entranced by Faith’s hand as it cupped her lover’s breast and toyed with her nipple as her body moved tightly against Buffy’s.

It didn’t take long before the end was near. Satsu couldn’t hold it in any longer. Almost completely beat after the days events, she allowed herself to let go.

“Oh, fuck!” Satsu cried out, body trembling as the rush came.

She grabbed onto Buffy with one hand as the other dug into the mattress, body convulsing into orgasm before finally falling back to the bed.

Buffy smiled warmly down at Satsu, leaning forwards and kissing over her forehead, allowing her to breathe deeply as she gathered herself up from the freefall. She waited for Faith to slide her hand down to rest on Satsu’s stomach before removing her own from between Satsu’s legs. She gently cupped her now sticky pussy before trailing her fingers up to Faith’s hand, laying it partially on top of it on Satsu.

“That was. . .hmmm,” Satsu hummed in pleasure, surprised at how sated she already felt.

The day had obviously taken its toll on her, and she felt suddenly limp and floaty.

“I vote we do it again,” Faith said with a devilish grin as her hand began to dawdle its way downwards over Satsu.

Buffy chuckled, and ran her own hand up Faith’s wandering arm as it looped over her, stopping at the eager flex of a strong bicep.

“Be my guest,” she added with her own little grin, watching Satsu’s face as she looked up at them both.

“Whoa, slow down,” Satsu interjected, finding herself smiling despite her now drowsy state. “Little wiped here. Blood loss. Too much excitement. You know how it is.”

“Guess I’m gonna have to occupy my hands some other way then,” Faith drawled, the tone of her voice dropping as she spoke into Buffy’s ear.

Before Buffy quite realized what she meant, she felt Faith’s hand at the waistband of her shorts. She was pushing down – a thumb hooked daringly under the tight elastic. It took Buffy’s breath away just a little.

“Faith, I. . .” She didn’t know if she could do this.

She wanted to – oh boy did she want to – but there was a lot at stake. Her eyes met Satsu’s; questioning maybe. Asking for guidance probably.

“It’s ok,” Satsu told her softly, a hand stroking over Buffy’s cheek before she leaned up and kissed her. “Just let go. Enjoy.”

It sounded so simple, but was it? Buffy guessed that only trying could really answer that.

Taking a steadying breath, Buffy turned more on to her back, making sure to stay close to Satsu. Her eyes soon found themselves drifting towards Faith’s, lips trembling for contact; expectant with emotion and years of wanting. Satsu turned back on her side facing Buffy to her left, running a soothing hand across the flaming skin of her thigh. Faith’s thumb was still poised, ready to tug down the last thing keeping her barricaded. She found herself swimming in Faith’s brown eyes; pools of enticement that seemed to be getting closer.

Heart fluttering in her chest she raised her hand, brushing uncertain fingers over Faith’s torso as Faith moved just enough to be almost completely above her. She was still to Buffy’s side but she was now braced on her elbow. Buffy decided right then and there that the place just above Faith’s hip at her side was as sexy as Satsu’s; all hard slayer-muscle, yet soft, feminine skin. Her thumb stroked over Faith slowly and Faith’s breasts heaved almost out of her small bra with the breath she took.

Faith looked like she wanted to eat Buffy alive, and right now she was happy to be her snack, or full-on three course meal – whatever Faith preferred. Buffy felt charged all over, and she tingled from head to foot as Faith’s gaze swept over her, and then over Satsu.

“We could do with a little more naked here,” Faith stated, her eyes gleaming as much as her teeth as she grinned, all confidence and instinct as she wasted no more time in getting Buffy out of her shorts.

There was no point in challenging her; Buffy wanted out of her shorts and panties too. They were beginning to get a little hot and sticky.

Lifting her ass from the mattress, Buffy bit her lower lip as Faith used both hands to drag down the remainder of her clothing. She wasn’t sure if she was holding her breath, but everything was starting to get wobbly. There was probably a lack of oxygen going to her brain, and Faith wasn’t making things easier as she slid the material unhurriedly from her slender legs. The feeling of being completely exposed crashed upon Buffy, but even though she was sure she was blushing, she didn’t care. She felt good. She felt alive as Faith locked eyes with her and lowered her head to kiss her stomach.

“Ok, that’s. . .good,” Buffy mumbled breathlessly, watching Faith kiss her way lazily up her now tense stomach.

Buffy reached out with one hand towards Satsu, gripping her as if she were her anchor as she placed loving kisses over Buffy’s shoulder. Her other hand instinctively headed toward Faith; fingers disappearing into long, lush brown hair. A tremble ran through Buffy as Faith’s warm, wet tongue licked at her over the faint ripple of muscle just under her ribcage. She wondered if it was possible to come without even being touched because if Faith kept her eyes locked on her in that way, her tongue and mouth taking their time to taste the small beads of sweat beginning to roll off Buffy’s body. . .well, she was certainly going to find out.

“I need to. . .to kiss you, Faith,” Buffy stammered, her eyes almost rolling into the back of her head as Satsu’s nails scratched a tormenting path up her inner thigh and Faith’s tongue reached the underside of her breast.

She could feel her body reacting in overdrive; years of pent up lust easing its way out. Years of holding back – of holding the power and compulsion of the slayer within her back – making her skin burn and sizzle in the heat, and her pussy spill its desperate desire between her legs. Just like Satsu said, she needed to let go. This meant more than what was obvious. This was more than what they knew.

Buffy gasped, holding in a silent moan as Faith’s lips nipped and sucked at the fleshy part of her breast; not yet reaching her achingly stiff, little pink nipple. Her fingers flexed in Faith’s hair, pushing against her skull as she tried but failed not to convey her wishes.

“Gettin’ there, Twinkie,” Faith drawled, hot breath pouring over Buffy.

She flicked her eyes down to Buffy’s breasts and licked her full lips before placing a painfully light kiss right where Buffy needed her most.

This time Buffy couldn’t hold back the groan that flew from her open mouth. “Fuck,” she sighed. “Just. . .I need you to. . .” Her body was on fire. She’d just made her lover come, and she was surrounded by hot, naked flesh and boobs, and the smell of sex and girl and she seriously needed Faith to just “suck on me.”

Faith’s eyes grew as black as the night outside, nostrils flaring aggressively before her lips closed around Buffy. She sucked hard - almost too hard. Buffy arched into Faith, fingers digging into her head, her other hand holding onto Satsu firmly as Satsu pressed against the length of her. She’d experienced colors shooting around her mind with Satsu plenty of times, and now it was Faith’s turn to send her on a magical Crayola ride.

“Oh you’re so getting fucked,” Buffy gasped as Faith flicked her tongue ruthlessly over her other nipple.

She hadn’t exactly meant for that to come out in actual words, but the low, sexy rumble of a moan it sent through Faith was worth sounding completely wanton for.

Faith scraped her teeth over Buffy before ripping her lips away and quickly moving up so they were face to face, body pressing down on Buffy – thigh between Buffy’s legs. The fast action took Buffy a little by surprise, but she hid it well. . .she thought. Only a small squeal had squeaked out.

“Yeah?” Faith asked, hovering over Buffy, her eyes looking as dangerous as her voice sounded. “Maybe we should give Satsu a turn first before I let you.”

She glanced over at Satsu, causing her dark hair to tumble over Buffy’s face just a little. It took Buffy a second to stop enjoying the silky feel of it to focus on what Faith was suggesting.

Buffy didn’t want to wait. She wanted to touch Faith. Satsu could have her turn later.

“But I. . .” Buffy stalled, flustered as Faith undulated against her, causing Buffy’s juices to spill onto Faith’s powerful thigh as she slid against her now spread pussy.

That did it. Her patience was wearing thin and she was almost about to just flip Faith over and take her, but Satsu saved her the trouble.

“As much as I want to, Faith,” Satsu began, appreciative eyes roaming over Faith’s body, “I don’t think I have the energy right now.”

It was true, Satsu felt weaker than she wanted; her body still trying to mend itself under the tight bandages and colorful bruises. That didn’t mean she would sit back and let all the fun happen without her, but she was in no position to give Faith her all just yet. She was happy for Buffy to have her fun. It was enough for now just getting to watch what was unfolding in front of her. The desire was rolling off both Faith and Buffy; an almost tangible aura of sexuality and lust that had been suppressed for far too long. It was remarkable, and intoxicating.

“See,” Buffy whined. “So you should just. . .”

Her words were cut short as Faith raised a hand to her cheek, thumb brushing over Buffy’s lips as she gazed down at her. The mischievous glint was still in Faith’s eyes, but Buffy was in no doubt that Faith was just being. . .Faith. This was her. This was who Buffy had always secretly wanted.

They said no more as Faith removed her thumb so that her lips could capture Buffy’s.

Mouths moving slowly but surely together, they kissed as if it wasn’t the first time. Hushed moans escaped them both, however, betraying the outward confidence and composure they exuded. Buffy allowed Faith to lead the kiss, willingly giving her lips to Faith as she sucked and teased. Though they began slowly enough, the pace soon picked up, tongues peeking out to dip and taste. Mouths opening wider, kissing harder. Hunger whipped them back to moving against one another, and Buffy could no longer allow Faith to remain clothed. She needed to feel more.

Sliding both her hands around Faith’s lower back, she spread her fingers out and swept upwards until she hit the material that was getting in the way of feeling Faith fully against her. She didn’t wait for permission before unsnapping the bra and slipping it down Faith’s arms, grateful that Faith did her part and shrugged it to the floor without hesitation.

She was back on Buffy quicker than Buffy could stop her in order to remove her panties, but she temporarily forgave her as soft breasts smooshed against her own.

“Fuck, you feel good,” Faith murmured over Buffy’s lips before kissing her fiercely.

Their nipples strained stiffly against each other, teasing and tantalizing as their hardness jarred and rubbed with Faith’s movements. Buffy was faintly aware of Satsu’s hand making patterns over her skin as she touched her everywhere that Faith wasn’t, but her mind was a blur of raunchy thought and image as she scraped her nails down Faith’s back towards the panties she needed gone.

Hesitating for just a second as she asked herself if she was certain if this was the best thing to do, Buffy slid just the tips of her fingers under the waistband of Faith’s underwear. With her mouth pressed against Buffy’s as they kissed, she could feel the smile on Faith’s lips. It was small, but it was there. It left Buffy with no doubts. She began to shove the thin material off Faith’s firm backside, heart pounding as Faith lifted up for her. Together they managed to rid Faith of them, breaking the kiss only momentarily before Faith was back at Buffy’s lips; breaths hot and hard, mouths hungry and passionate.

Faith pushed down into Buffy, pulling her mouth away to take a sharp breath as her pussy rubbed over Buffy’s thigh as Buffy’s did the same in turn. The closest they’d ever been. Open and wet for each other. Nothing to stop them taking what they’d always wanted as naked flesh blazed and bumped, coating each other in the lust between them.

“Faith,” Buffy breathed shakily, unable to form any more words than that.

Luckily words weren’t necessary, only feeling, touching, just being. She closed her eyes as Faith rubbed their noses together before kissing Buffy passionately again. Buffy could no longer wait; her hands needed Faith, her fingers pleading for the kind of touching that she’d always tried to convince herself she didn’t want.

Trailing her hands up and down Faith’s sides, she immersed herself in the kiss and the heat, stomach tying in knots with every little sigh she got out of Faith. When Faith lifted up just enough for Buffy to move a hand between them, she was rewarded by a sexy growl as her fingers inched over a curvaceous breast. Buffy only realized Faith was touching her in the same way when she felt her nipple tingling under Faith’s eager attention. Breathing heavily into Faith’s mouth, Buffy smiled all the way inside as she felt Faith’s dusky nipple respond instantly as she groped, toyed, teased and twisted.

All she could think of was placing her mouth around Faith’s breast, but as she pushed up a little against Faith in order to flip her over so she could travel over her more freely, Buffy realized she wasn’t about to get her way. Faith grinned against her mouth and pulled back enough to look into Buffy’s eyes. But Buffy knew what she wanted, and she wasn’t about to be denied it.

She ignored Faith’s raised eyebrow as she quickly scooted downwards just enough to be face to face with Faith’s breasts. They were quite impressive, and for a moment Buffy wasn’t sure if she’d made the right choice. Satsu was less endowed, and she was used to Satsu not Faith. She didn’t want to do anything that wasn’t good for Faith. She’d just have to do her best and by the sounds of it, it was working as she nuzzled her nose and cheek against heated flesh, just feeling the weight of Faith’s breasts.

Faith’s skin smelled like wanting, and strawberries. She hadn’t expected strawberries, it seemed too girly. But Faith was definitely all girl. All breathy sighs and tense muscles too as Buffy finally took a delicious looking nipple between her lips and kissed and sucked. Her tongue rolled around it, tasted and tormented Faith while her hand furtively found its way between Faith’s thighs. They were falling open expectantly above her as Buffy distracted Faith with her mouth. She smiled into Faith, eyes flicking up to watch her face as she sucked on as much of her as she could.

With her eyes fluttering closed, Faith licked her lips and gulped in a large lungful of air as Buffy’s fingers crept over short, dark curls. Buffy had thought Faith would have stopped her by now so she could take charge, but she was obviously too wrapped up in what she was feeling.

“Fuck. . .B,” Faith gasped as Buffy’s fingertips spread her folds and slipped slowly over her dripping pussy.

Buffy groaned in appreciation with the amount of fluid she felt coating her fingers. She couldn’t quite believe she was sliding around in Faith’s arousal - fingers learning the most intimate part of the girl who had once been her enemy - but it felt all kinds of good. All kinds of perfect and right, and all those things she felt but couldn’t put into words. Licking and nibbling her way back up to Faith’s lips, Buffy swirled her fingers over a solid clit that swelled to her touch. It wasn’t long before Faith was rocking her hips against Buffy’s hand and moaning in a seriously sexy way. In fact, she was also moaning all girly too, and it made Buffy’s heart dance in her chest.

Faith was completely lost to her touch, eyes closed, her own hands halting in their free-roam and now just gripping onto Buffy as her body moved to the rhythm she set. Buffy glanced over to Satsu to see that she was also watching Faith freely yield to the pleasure Buffy was giving her. Satsu had a naughty grin gracing her lips, and her dark eyes swept over both Faith and Buffy as she kept as close to Buffy as she could possibly get, hand still drifting over her lover on a languorous journey.

Feeling surrounded by hotness, and strangely – or maybe not so strangely – by companionship and love in all its forms, Buffy tried her best to concentrate on Faith’s clit. She could tell Faith was surprisingly already close, and rather than want to tease her Buffy wanted to make her come so she could do it all over again.

She turned back to Faith and sped up her movements, in awe of Faith’s beauty as she hung over her, completely entranced by what Buffy was doing to her.

“Jesus, Buffy,” Faith gasped, breathless and trembling. “I’m gonna. . .fuck!”

Buffy grinned, fingertip pressing hard against Faith’s clit as she held her own breath, listening to Faith’s every sigh and moan.

“Come, Faith,” she implored, pushing up and holding Faith at the hip with her other hand as she felt a satisfying, warm trickle of liquid spill over the fingers entrenched in Faith’s pussy.

Each little quake and gasp was hotter than the last and with a quick flick of her fingers, Buffy felt the tension reach a peak.

“Oh fuck, B!” Faith groaned loudly as fingernails dug into Buffy, clinging and shuddering.

Faith’s lithe body tensed, eyes trying to focus on Buffy’s. She came hard and fast with a look of surprise on her face that Buffy fell completely in love with.

“Fuck,” was Faith’s final breathy word as she clattered to a quivering mess, covering Buffy’s hand in the sticky admission of her body’s surrender.

Keeping her fingers moving, but slowing, Buffy allowed Faith to rest down on her, forehead to forehead. She lightly brushed her lips over Faith’s, feeling the warmth of her breaths as her body twitched and relaxed. Faith kissed back clumsily, sumptuous lips just resting on Buffy’s, barely moving yet conveying the deep desire for each other they had.

Gradually, Buffy removed her fingers from the stickiness between Faith’s legs, licking her lips as she wondered what she would taste like. Something told her she’d find out soon enough, but for now she just wanted to hold onto Faith for a few moments of contented peace.

“Damn,” Faith sighed, pulling away from Buffy slightly, a bit sooner than Buffy wanted. “That was. . .embarrassing.”

Buffy gave her a puzzled expression and Satsu chuckled a little beside her.

“Embarrassing?” Buffy asked uneasily, searching Faith’s eyes with her own. “Was I bad?”

Faith looked at her comically and shook her head slowly.

“Not what I meant, Twink,” she drawled, her body slumping just a little more to Buffy’s side as she finally caught her breath. “I meant me. I’ve never. . .I don’t usually. . .”

It might have been the light, but Buffy was almost sure Faith was blushing. She didn’t understand. Faith had come – pretty damn sexily, all shuddery above her. She didn’t know what the problem was.

“Huh?” Buffy muttered, eyebrows scrunching together.

Again Satsu chuckled and Buffy gave her an equally puzzled look.

“B,” Faith said, sounding a bit wary, “you fuckin’ slayed me. Never came that quick before and it’s kinda mortifying.”

“Oh!” Buffy responded, eyes wide.

Her eyes didn’t stay wide for long as she smiled all big and proud. There she was thinking she wouldn’t be good enough, but she’d popped Faith’s cork without hardly even breaking a sweat.

“You just,” Faith stuttered, “ya got me all worked up. Both of ya in fact.”

There was that slight hint of pink at her cheeks again that made Buffy want to grab her and squeeze tight. She didn’t grab her, settling on just smiling warmly instead and kissing Faith softly on the lips.
