Small Steps...
Continued from Here
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 ( Read more... )

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 ( ... )

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 ( ... )

"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.

"I left about a hundred messages on your answering machine"
"I'm okay."
"I'm okay." Squinting my eyes, I look up and squeeze her hands. "They just come from time to time." Letting go of her hands I get up and start to pace. Chewing the nail of my thumb I frown and look down at the floor while I walk back and forth. "Talking all they do is talk. Telling me what to do, what not do do, what I am, who I am, who I'm not." I'm babbling, I know I am.
I glance back at Lilah. She tries to hide it but I can tell in her eyes that I'm scaring her again. I have to stop that. Pull yourself together, Pryce! Taking a shuddering breath, I muster up a weak smile. "I'm okay," I echo my earlier words.
"Are you alright?"
"I spend the night at Wolfram and Harts. Which FYI is the best place to the safest place in case of an apocalypse""Are you alright?" Sitting back ( ... )

I watched him pace, not sure what else to do. Let him talk I guess, ramble on about imaginary voices, imaginary people.
"I'm okay,"
He was trying to reassure me. I nodded, unconvinced, but trying to act like it didn't bother me.
"Are you alright?"
"Peachy keen." I gave him a half smile and a shrug, and pretended I was A-ok. "It's just gonna take me a while to adjust. Been asleep, well dead actually, for so long, I hate being out of the loop, that's all."
"You should shower. You wouldn't want to catch a pneumonia right after you've been brought back to life...Are you still willing to make an exception?"Every time he touches me, I feel it, an ache deep inside. Not good. I don't want to feel this way again. Lay myself open to the hurt, but what choice do I have ( ... )

Ah, that dry british wit. It was music to my ears. If he could quip with me then he was not too far gone in the scheme of things.
I was leaning into the shower and testing the temperature of the water when he came up behind me.
"My dear, do you usually shower with your panties on? No matter how sexy they look."
I glanced at him, and he was standing naked before me. It only seemed like a few days ago when he'd been telling me to get out of his life. I tried not to let it show in my face, how much it affected me to see him like this.
Wesley wasn't rejecting me, or pushing me away. In fact he was stepping closer and winding an arm around my middle. I felt my heart leap to my throat again.
"They might get in the way of washing up.""Then I suppose they'd better go." I responded and bent down to remove them, suddenly feeling nervous as hell ( ... )

I don't know. Too many speculations. She might have told me and then the wipe would have cleared that. But I know she didn't. If she had told me could have made the precautions I did when I found out my mind had been tampered with? Maybe. Maybe not.
I'll Scrub your back and you scrub mine. Watch your back and you watch mine. I've always watched her back. Even after... after...
"Shades of gray."
"What are you doing here?"
"I had someone on the inside.""I'll always scrub your back, Lilah." I've always watched your back. Tilting my head, I raise my eyebrow and smirk at her. As if washing and watching her back is such a hardship ( ... )

When his supple fingers pinched my nipple I gave a low guttural moan and leaned into his touch. I felt his teeth graze my bare shoulder, and when he lifted his head, I turned to meet his gaze, letting him see how much I wanted him, how much I'd missed him and how much he'd hurt me. It was the most naked I'd been with him in a long time. And I let him see that.
His hand moved lower and I sucked in a breath, tilting my head back when his fingers reached the cleft between my legs and began to rub and caress my clit. Waves of pleasure were spreading up through my body and I gasped, reaching back to grasp his head as he licked and nipped at my shoulder.
"Good. That's our dollar bill." "Damned right, it is." I whispered back huskily. Then I gasped with surprise when I felt his stiffened cock jutting up against my buttocks, and his ( ... )

A muffled groan escaped my lips as his other hand grabbed my ass and pulled me closer to him, his cock sliding between my thighs and back and forth against my clit. The sound of Wesley's own stifled moans of pleasure as he deliberately teased both of our bodies, almost pushed me over the edge right then and there.
Then he finally broke the kiss and enjoyed my bottom lip for while, his heated gaze meeting mine for a moment.
"I thought you didn't believe in God,"I chuckled at that, trust Wesley to come up with the perfect droll comment. I was about to reply with an equally witty retort when the bastard cheated by bending down and taking one of my nipples into his mouth, biting down hard enough to make me inhale sharply in shock at ( ... )
