History Lessons

Buffy came down hard onto Giles' chest, her breathing hard and ragged as he moved only a little bit to give himself air as well. "Sleep time yet?"

"Are you telling me I finally figured a way to wipe my Slayer out?"

"Ugh!" Buffy hit Giles' chest lightly as he chuckled and kissed her lips slowly. "I love you Buffy." Buffy smiled and kissed him back and laid her head in his chest, he moved his hands to her side and brushed his fingers lightly in that area, she gasped loudly and looked at him. "Again? What if Willow returns?"

"She hasn't come back to the room yet, and as long as your quiet this time."

"Being quiet has nothing to do with the fact she might return."

"But I had just told you I loved you, don't make me beg luv, it's not ladylike."

"Who says I'm a Lady?" Giles chuckled and rested his head against the pillow and took a deep breath and then raised his head when he heard the door open and he pulled the blankets overtop their heads, Buffy was giggling as he kissed her softly despite the intrusion. "Buffy?"

She lifted the blanket off her head and looked out as Giles hid his face behind her licking her back just to see how it would affect her. "Willow! Hel-hello!" Buffy moved her leg making sure she kicked Giles and he stopped chuckling still moving his hands around her body. "When did you get back?"

"Oh earlier today."

"Everything went okay?"

"Hmm! Yeah!" She pushed Giles again away as his hand closed in on her wet center and Willow then saw the movement. "Please tell me you didn't?"

"Didn't what?"

"Steal the king?" Giles chuckled and squeezed Buffy's ass making her yelp, turn and hit him, the actions caused her to reveal his face. "Oh my god Giles!"

"Oh hello Willow." He waved with a smile and Buffy looked at him and laughed falling back into his arms for a kiss, before getting too carried away she turned to Willow. "You don't mind leaving do you? We're a bit busy, or we could leave. Go back to your place?"

Buffy was looking at Giles and he shrugged and nodded. 'Sounds great. Willow could you be a dear and hand me my pants?"

Buffy giggled and kissed his jaw as he grabbed his pants and moved them under the blankets. "Wait what happened to your boxers?"

"You ripped them off."

"Oh right, give me the sheet, I'll have to get extra clothes."

Giles chuckled and they fiddled around as she wrapped the sheet around her and got out of the bed, and looked to Willow. "You mind finding him a shirt? The one he had can now only be used as, well it can't be used for much, could you?"

"Uh, sure?"

"Thanks." Buffy left unfazed that the friend was obviously shocked and she handed Giles an old button up shirt that he knew was Oz's. "Thank you Willow, I will return it surely."

"Okay… What is going on? Has the world gone wonky?"

"You are referring to me and Buffy, I went to get her, I hadn't realized how blind I was until I kissed her, I love her, she loves me, and we are perfectly happy with each other."

"And not afraid to hide it obviously."

"Well, I am sorry about that, we should be a little more discreet."

Willow shook her head. "No, it's fine, I'm just shocked. I've never seen either of you smile so grand."

"We're happy, in love, equally right for each other." Buffy came out of the bathroom and smiled at him and ran to him wrapping her arms around him. "Can we go now?"

"We'll have to walk."

"Forgot your car?"

"I was angry, the car was the last thing I did not want to deal with."

"You're still angry at me?" Buffy held all the innocence that he could possibly imagine in her eyes and pouting mouth and he chuckled kissing the pouted lips. "Let's go see if you can make up for it."

"Yes Mr. Giles, I'll do anything." He moaned as her hand rubbed the front of his pants and Willow soon left knowing that this was not going to end at any time. Giles kissed her again and she slid the shirt off his shoulders and pushed him back onto her bed as he helped remove the clothing she had just placed on herself. Buffy giggled light heartedly and moved over his body as he placed her covers over them and they tumbled together fiercely, trying not to fall off the bed in the throws of passion.

Willow sat outside the room, her back against the wall and she could swear that everyone that passed was staring at her loud room as Xander came up and looked to the noise and then to her. "What's goin on in there? Sounds like my kind of party."

Willow rolled her eyes and he sat next to her. "Wil?"

"It's Buffy, she's uh-"

"The one making all the noise?"

"Yeah."

"And who does she have with her? He sure sounds gallant." Willow looked at him then to the door as Buffy's voice came out in loud yelps. "Oh yes! Harder Giles! Harder! Oh god, YESSSSS!"

Xander looked back to Willow and she nodded knowing his question right away. "As in the same Giles?"

"Uh-huh, saw it myself, their all- coupley."

"As in, there are together?"

"Uh-huh."

"Wow, I mean it does make sense if you look at it, Slayer and Watcher bound together for life until one dies, kinda like a marriage already, and they do have a lot of sexual tension between them… I'm surprised we didn't see it earlier."

"Xander, are you actually making sense? Ugh the world has gone wonky."

"Hey! I resent that!" He pushed Willow's arm as she then noticed the noise of grunting and moaning had became silent for a while.

Giles moved away from her and she giggled a little bit and crawled into his arms, and kissed his neck softly. "What time is it?"

"Around 10:30."

"Well I for one am not going to walk back to our place until it's more safe."

Giles' senses rose and he gained her staring gaze as she smiled brightly not sure what caused his alarming look. "Our place?"

"If you want it to be- I mean do you really see me having to pay a cab or walk whenever school is done just so I can spend some quality time with my Watcher?"

"So you want to move in with me?"

Buffy looked down, bad idea, this was not how she wanted this and he grabbed her face forcing her to look at him as he smiled more reassuringly. "I asked that wrong. Would you Buffy Summers like to move in, share my closet, eat my food, spend your nights, with me?"

Buffy smiled, and nodded even though she technically asked him, he still had a way of turning it into a romantic gesture causing her heart to leap into her stomach. "I would love to."

"So we stay here overnight, wake in the morning and pack your things in my car."

"And I won't let the collage know I'm moving just so I have a place to go if I have an hour to wait for class, you could, visit me then."

"So we should keep some of your things as well as mine here in case of ripping."

"Sounds like a plan." Giles kissed her and drew her closer and she sank her head under his chin slowly falling asleep in his arms.

Giles kissed the top of her head and was about to close his eyes when he saw the door open once more and he placed on his pants and red button down tee-shirt Willow gave him escorting them back out of the room. "Buffy's sleeping, sorry but I don't want to wake her, Xander hello, I'm sure Willow has already informed you on our situation, and I would like to tell you both that I am happy to announce that Buffy will be moving in with me. It's a good thing, I feel like nothing I've ever felt before, she's everything to me, now I know it may be a bit difficult to accept-"

"Whoa, slow down there G-Man, we understand and accept completely, and clearly you're happy to be with her and your intentions are pure, at least I understand, congratulations to you both."

"Thank you Xander, that's considerate of you especially… Willow, do I have your blessing?"

"Me? You want my blessing?"

"You are her best friend, yes, I would like your blessing."

"Oh geeze- Uh- Well- Sure, I guess…"

"You may think upon it Willow, it's okay, I mean it is not exactly the relationship that you could consider normal, but I love her, she is my life, my reason for living, my soul, my child. She is my everything."

"I give you my blessing."

Giles smiled and nodded. "Thank you Willow, you have no idea what that means to me, thank you. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm feeling a bit tired and I miss her body against mine." Giles excused himself back into the room and moved next to Buffy who wrapped her arms around him tightly. "Don't leave me again like that. I was worried you left."

"I would never leave you, I love you too much to."

"Okay, just don't do that again."

"I'm sorry, please forgive me."

"Alright." Buffy smiled sleepily and he wrapped his arms around her holding her against him and slowly fell asleep.

Buffy was the first to wake and she bit her lips and kissed Giles' nose happily as he opened one eye to looked at her and he groaned, causing another giggle to come from her. "Come on Giles, up and atom, time to start packing."

"Ten more minutes." He leaned over kissing her mouth and she snuggled into his chest showing defeat, she was comfortable and actually to say in the least, she did not want to move. Buffy brushed her lips across his chest lightly and he let out a small moan, remembering Willow was sleeping in the bed only a few feet away. "Buffy, luv."

Buffy looked up at him and he smiled, the sun bouncing perfectly off her hair, he was almost ready to ask her to be his forever, just to think about waking up to her beauty like this for the remainder of his life filled him with an un-measurable happiness. "Giles? You're staring, what are you going to say?"

He shook his head, had he stared for so long? "I'm sorry, I lost train of thought, you're just so beautiful and the very idea of having to wake up next to this face… It makes me the happiest man in the world."

"Do I really make you that happy?"

"Of coarse, there isn't anything in the world I wouldn't do for you, you name it and I'll do it."

"Love me."

"Always."

"No. Make love to me, slow, steady, taking our time love."

"I will later, right now let me hold you, let me soak in your morning beauty and then we busy ourselves packing and then we go home, and I'll make love to you."

"Promise?"

"With all my heart." Buffy smiled and just stared into his loving gaze, his hand rubbing her back and the other one in hers, just lacing about their fingers and smiled at her when he looked to the clock and let out a chuckle. "It's been ten minutes Buffy, time to get up and for you to get dressed."

"Do I have to?"

"For now." Buffy giggled as he removed herself from the small twin sized bed and handed her, her clothes as she changed in the bed like magic and came out of the sheets perfectly dressed. He smiled and they moved about the room quietly and packed only a most of her things, leaving spare clothes and weapons in the closet. They first walked to his loft and got her things settled in before returning to the dorm and she placed a few of his extra clothes in her closet as he returned Oz's shirt and changed to his own as they then drove back to his loft once more.

Buffy walked in awkwardly as he walked around and saw his history book that laid open as her eyes caught attention to one sentence. 'King Uther Pendragon had almost gone crazy by the woman's face, her blonde hair invading his dreams and everything else, it is said that he never met her, but he had sworn that he did, his son Arthur committed him of sorcery, something Uther had been fighting himself and had his father burned at the stake. The new king took right where his father left off, Camelot never made it to the beauty it was destine, it was destroyed by a figment of the king, or was it?' Buffy closed the book when she heard Giles approaching and smiled at him, and he looked to the book and knew her smile was to grand. "I left that open, I was still seeing if anything had changed from your visit."

"We have to go back, we have to administer the forgetting spell there."

"Something went wrong?"

"Extremely."

"Lets go to Willow my Lady, but first we need to get back in costume."

"Now?"

"Buffy-"

"Right, fate of the world. Anything that's actually new in life?" Giles chuckled as they bought new costumes and went to Willow again, arriving to the point just before the spell had been cast. Giles had found their horse stranded and placed Buffy on it and moved behind her as they re-arrived into the Camelot the way they left.

Uther was looking out the window when he saw her on the horse and immediately went to greet her, "You came back."

"Only for a little longer stay, we were almost ambushed and Sir Rupert here saved our lives by turning back. We are only asking a few more nights sire."

"Were you injured?"

"Thankfully no, Sir Rupert can handle a sword quite well."

"As can you if I can remember right." Buffy smiled as the horse was escorted to the stables and the king was nice enough to let them share a room, even if he was desperately in love with her, which would soon end when they spiked the food and drinks. They set up their room and Giles kissed Buffy only softly as she was about to leave. "You'll be back soon?"

"Yes, I'm only leaving to ask his royal majesty for a private dinner."

"Is that all you're going to do?"

"This is no need to get jealous, I'll be right back."

"Remember that once we administer the potion and spell we have about twenty four hours to get the hell out."

"Alright." Giles kissed her once more and she left the room in a swift movement, trying to find the king. She found him on the balcony, where she at been amazed by his kingdom, and she slowly approached. "It's beautiful isn't it?"

Uther turned at the familiar words he once said to her and smiled taking her hand in his and pulled her towards himself. "The most beautiful thing that I've seen."

He tried to pull her closer and she looked away. "I can't, you know I can't."

"When you asked for my blessing I had told you to go, all the while I wanted to run after you and tell you I couldn't watch you leave."

Buffy was standing away from him and their eyes met once more as she shook her head. "Why didn't you?"

"Would you of accepted into my saying so?"

"I guess we will never know."

"Will you stay?"

"Don't ask me that, my answer has yet to change and now I have Sir Rupert."

"Why have a knight when you can have a king?"

"Please don't Uther."

"Have dinner with me tonight, please, I would very much like to enjoy your company before you leave once more."

"Just my company?"

"Yes, just you, a private dinner, would that be a problem?"

"Of coarse not my Lord, I would be honored to accompany you." Buffy placed her hand on his cheek and against her better judgments let him kiss her, it was simple, but when he noticed that she made no move to leave and brought her closer and kissed her again with more passion. Buffy responded to his tongue immediately, and clung tightly to his neck as she lost herself in the deep kiss. When she backed off she looked at him shocked and ran swiftly from the scene of her infidelity.

Buffy ran into the chambers in which she shared with, Giles, the realization of him being there was oblivious to her and she leaned backwards against the door and let her tears and cries consume her. Giles approached with slow caution and watched as she sank into her knees still oblivious to his presence, his heart sank to see her in any way like this, he would not question her, not now, he would not accuse, he only simply approached her got down and took her crying body into his arms.

Buffy looked into his face, her face red, as well as her eyes, her nose swollen and her lips tightly pinched together, he ran his hand down the side of her face and she let her head go back into the warmth of his body as he got more comfortable to hold her. He was not the king, he was Giles, and he had seen her in this position multiple times and had held her hand through each heart breaking moment, he loved her then, and loved her now, how he could do such a thing made her cry more as he then started to shush her. "Easy now, hush luv, hush, whatever distressed you, it's over now."

Buffy regained his gaze, her tears lightened and she again felt fine, but she was in fact distressed from what she had done, reaching up she grabbed his face and pulled him to her and kissed him, her entire body asking for forgiveness. Giles responded and held her until she parted from him and stood, brushing her gown though nothing was on it. He stood up and watched as she regained her poise pose as a Lady and she defeated it with a nervous smile. "Thank you for not asking, thank you for just holding me."

"It was no problem at all, I would however like to learn what had caused you that distressful moment when you are ready to tell me."

Buffy turned from his gaze and walked to the window, she couldn't bare to look him in the face. "You were right to be jealous of the king. I didn't mean for anything to happen, but- it all happened to quickly I did not seem right minded when I set my lips upon his. It was only a kiss, but it was enough for me to think I defied you, the man I love is you, not him."

Giles was staring at her back and she turned around to his expressionless face, he looked down, licked and took his bottom lip his teeth, he released it a moment later and regained his gaze at her. "What do you wish for me to say?"

"I'm asking for forgiveness." Buffy's voice was cracked as he looked away from her tears and wondered away from her, she had lain with the king, before him, she had confessed her love to this man, before him, now she swore it was over, and she kissed him. He hated himself for when he looked back at her, he hated wanting to hurt her farter, but he could see well she still loved the king. "I'm sorry my Lady, it seems to me that you owe no forgiveness to me, but to your king, I will suggest you do that now, and then possibly we shall return back to wince we came with no trace. But I think your time would be most well spent with him rather than me."

"Giles- I'm so sorry, I am not a Lady, I am a Slayer, your Slayer, please don't do this, don't end this- I didn't mean to, he's not you, I don't love him, I swear! Please." Buffy fell to the ground again, her sobs regaining their hardness and Giles breathed a breathy gasp, and lowered his tall stance becoming himself again, out of the reformed knight. "I am not ending anything, I am only suggesting to you Buffy that you tell him straight forward nothing will happen between you, administer the potion so that we may leave, and so I may live up to my promise."

She looked up at him and stood racing toward him and kissed him passionately. "Nothing more will happen, I promise you."

"I believe you, and I forgive you… And I love you." Buffy kissed him again as he responded and there was a faint knock on the door and Buffy moved from him. She opened the door to a servant she did not recognize and she bowed to Buffy. "Lady Victoria, the king has requested your presence at once."

Buffy looked to Giles as he nodded and went to a seat at the table in the room. "Take me to him." The servant lead her in the direction she automatically knew were his chambers and opened the door to enter, she did not however make any move to close it as she stood in the middle of the room as he appeared and looked to the door, he only had inclined his head a bit and then she heard the boom of the door closing behind her. "You wanted to see me my Lord?"

"Yes. Please make yourself comfortable."

"That is kind, but I do not wish to stay here longer than needed and would like to sire."

"You're suddenly angry at me? For only simply returning your kiss?"

"As I recall you kissed me."

"You did nothing to stop me."

"No, and for that is my regret."

"You regret me kissing you?"

"I am not in love with you, I ended our relationship the moment I realized that, I would very much like to get back to Sir Rupert and inform him that you in fact have no intention of kissing or touching me for the next day and a half."

"I'm not aloud to touch you am I? Do you also forbid me from maybe perhaps looking at you?"

"You may only look upon me with no other intentions in your brain, other than friendliness."

"Is that so?" He was closer now, gazing down at her intensely, and even lovingly, she glared back warning him with her eyes that he should step back. He did not, he stepped closer and dared her with his eyes and she raised her hand, half intending to slap it across his face and half intending to grab him and kiss him and let him take her and claim her as his own. She decided at once and slapped him across the face before she took a few steps to the door and turned her head slightly over her shoulder. "You shall expect to see both I and Sir Rupert for dinner, it is no longer my wish to have it a private occasion. Good day your highness." Buffy opened the door and escorted herself back to her room as Giles embraced her as she let herself burst into tears once more.

Once Buffy had settled her tears she informed Giles that is was not a private dinner that she would attend and that she planned on him to attend with her, he smiled at her exclaiming that she kept her word and in order to do that struck the side of the king's face, Giles wished to himself that he had saw the standing up as a Lady.

The dinner was silent, Uther stared at Buffy expressionless as she only stared between her food and Giles who would smile at her and of coarse she smiled back, but kept to her dinner quietly. "Sir Rupert. Do you have family by which know your intentions towards the Lady?"

Buffy glared up at Uther, but as soon as his eyes met hers she looked away and to her food as Giles took in the gaze and smiled, lying through his teeth the entire time. "I have and older brother, he is a duke."

"A duke? Surely he wasn't to happy about the news."

Giles still stared as Buffy looked to him and helped his with his elaborate lie to save him and herself from shame. "Rupert darling, I am terribly sorry, it must of slipped my mind, but there was a letter that arrived in my possession while you were fighting stating that your brother has passed."

Giles looked down and back to her. "Did he at least produce a son before doing so?"

"Unfortunately no. I know it was never your dream to be a duke, you were just so happy as my knight and working for me that I could not bear such news to you."

"You should of said something, don't you see Victoria? Now we can be married, and without shaming you or I. You could be a duchess."

Uther was watching, his gaze turning colder with the thought of her having a happily ever after with him. "Oh Rupert, I never realized. But you have no wish in giving up your knighthood do you?"

"For you? Yes, it goes without question." Uther stood distracting both Giles and Buffy of their happy smiles and Giles stood along side Buffy as he approached. "Congratulations to you both, I wish you all the happiness in the world. Would you mind, your grace, if I speak to your betrothed in private?"

Giles considered it for a moment and Buffy turned and he leaned in to kiss her cheek and whisper sweet things of trust into her ear as she promised nothing would happen, bowed and left without another word, leaving Buffy stranded with the king yet again. Buffy walked away as Uther approached her, she couldn't stand watching the hurt or whatever in his eyes. "Might I ask you why you acquire my presence?"

"A drink perhaps?" Buffy made her way to the drink and poured both, slipping the memory potion inside his glass and handed it to him. "A drink sounds lovely my Lord."

"To you, so you may live happily with your duke."

Buffy smiled and drank slowly her drink as he drank his and walked more towards her setting his hands on her hips. "It's too bad you chose him over me, I could of given you more."

"You would be best to release me my Lord."

"Is that what you really want?" He brushed his lips against her and she opened her mouth to him, and he pulled her tighter as she then stepped back slapping him across the face. "I am not yours to chase! You had seen that I am betrothed, I am no longer for any man's desires than my soon to be husband! You would best to keep a wise memory of that Uther, or I shall see to it that a sword will be pointed to you! Good day!"

Buffy left in a hurry to her chambers as Giles wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head. "It's okay, it had to be done, your safe now, we can soon leave, I had done my part and now we must say the spell in order to leave tomorrow."

"He kissed me, even after we are supposedly betrothed, he kissed me."

"Yes, but I do know that you probably set him straight with a slap across his face?"

"Yes, and I might of yelled at him for setting a kiss upon a betrothed Lady."

"Ah, well, all is settled then."

"I love you."

"I love you too Buffy, soon we can leave, and I shall keep my promise and make love to you."

"Why not do it know? Make love to me? I want you now."

"I would rather do it in the comfort of our home luv, if you don't mind."

"I do not."

"Would you settle for just sex?"

"Hmm, that sounds very reasonable, your grace." Giles chuckled and lowered his mouth to her neck, slowly licking and kissing her there. "I want to kiss you all over."

"Are you asking permission dear duke?"

"Yes my Lady I am." Giles looked at her, amusement in his eyes and took her bottom lips with his kissing her with a soft passion. Buffy responded to his kiss, opening her mouth when he asked with his tongue and moaned softly as he guided his hand to her backside finally resting on her pert arse. He lifted his head from her after a while and after fighting her tongue with his, he looked at her and moved one of his hands off her bottom and to her face. "Do I have permission to lay with you on that bed over there?"

"Yes you do, though I do not understand why you keep asking for any permission, you may do whatever you please to my body."

"I am glad to hear of it, I shall see to pleasure you before I pleasure myself in any way." Buffy smiled and moved from his hold to the bed where they unclothed each other and lay down next to each other, Giles kneeling in between her legs, looking over her vulnerable body form and the way it sat; legs open wide, hands palm down in the sheets, eyes glazing at him. Beautiful, yet vulnerable, and also helpless to do anything, this was as he said for her pleasure, but in reality it was for him to torture her until she gave in.

But that isn't what he wanted either as her pleaded eyes looked into his. "Is something wrong your grace?"

"Not at all my Lady, I am merely thinking about what I shall pleasure you with first. My hands? My mouth? My tongue? My teeth? Any starting suggestions?"

"Uh-"

"Hands, I will use my hands." He placed his hands on either side of her legs and ran them slowly forward and backward, causing slight moans from her, he moved his mouth to her knee kissing her slowly, he realized, that at the slow pace she might consider this making love, but it wasn't technically, she was only giving him her full body, it was only if he decided to give her his, he stopped and looked at her. "Giles?"

"You do know there is a difference between making love and having sex do you not?" Buffy didn't answer, she only watched him. "You are letting me do whatever I so please to your body for my pleasure, and only when I do give into my urges and take you will it be considered making love, taking time, slow paced love. I have never shared my body completely to anyone, I'm- to tell the truth, I'm a bit nervous."

"Sweet Giles, don't you understand that everything will be okay? We have been together already, I am willing to give you my body with it's entirety, are you willing to give me yours?"

"I wanted to wait, until we were not in this place, until we were home."

"Okay, we can wait." Buffy was about to curl up her legs and Giles stopped her from doing so with his hand on her knee, holding it firmly down. "That however will not stop me into giving you a bit of pleasure, I would not want you going to bed unpleasured."

"Um, actually we must say our spell, otherwise coming here would have been a waste of time, and after what I did."

Giles chuckled, he had already forgiven her for the few kisses, and nodded in agreement before he lost himself in her body, They said their spell with preciseness and now only had to announce their leave, Giles a man of his word took Buffy back to the bed and gave her pleasures she had never experienced before and afterwards sleep soundly behind her, his nose in the crook of her neck as his arms wrapped about her and her body pressed firmly against him, a smile on her face as she closed her eyes.

Day Eight:

Giles opened his eyes and kissed the bare flesh in front of him receiving a slight moan in return. "Good morning luv."

"Mmm. Is it morning already?"

"Afraid so."

"Hmm, that means we can go?"

"After I announce that we are leaving, yes, we may go."

"And make love?" Buffy turned to him, questioning him carefully, and he smiled boldly and nodded. "And make love for hours, yes."

"Hours Giles? A bit confident are ya?"

"You'll see." Buffy giggled and took in a small kiss as they dressed and he led her out the room, she followed behind him now, as if he controlled her every move and they walked into the dining hall where the Pendragon family was eating breakfast. "Ah, what a surprise, to what do I owe the pleasure your grace?" Uther's eyes were furious, yet his voice never sounded friendlier as Giles looked upon Arthur and the Lady Morgana before turning his head back to Uther's. "I had come to announce that my Lady and I are going back home this morning, she urged me to do so since the kingdom had only expected her a week gone."

"I see, so you are going to leave now? Without food? Without another, perhaps knight to make sure you are not ambushed?"

"I am sure I can handle myself your highness, but I must see to bring her back home and for our announcement to be made, I bid you a farewell."

"Farewell. Until we meet again." Uther was looking at Buffy now as she looked up and turned away and started to walk out of the room, Giles bowed and apologized for the intrusion and they were gone. He lifted Buffy off the horse and said the return spell and they once again stood in Buffy's dorm, Willow and Tara both looking at them wide-eyed.

Buffy couldn't help but giggle as Giles walked her back to the loft, on the way of coarse as the dutiful Slayer she took down two or three vampires that tried to ruin her perfect evening. Giles lifted Buffy into the air and carried her across the threshold of their loft, and looked in the history book before they disappeared upstairs, he took her hand in his afterwards, the giggles and everything else becoming more serious, and Buffy followed slowly up the stairs.

Already undressed he watched her from the other side of the bed as she pulled away the covers and laid down, watching him with her eyes. He had never made love before, not love, he had his fair share of women yes, and even some he felt affection, but he had never fully given himself to anyone, not himself. He laid down finally on the bed beside her, wrapping his arms about her and drew her against himself, her body was a little cold despite the warm room air. Buffy's mouth, when he found it opened it with his own and penetrated it with his tongue was however hot.

Buffy splayed one hand against his chest, twined her other arm about his waist and pressed herself against him, heat flared between them almost instantly, she was, he realized just in much of need of this as he was, there was no need of foreplay. "Come on top of me." Giles spoke against her mouth, kissing her only slightly until she looked at him and shook her head.

"No." Buffy rolled to her back, drawing him with her, this is the first time he realized that he was going to actually be in control. "I want it this way, I want you on top."

Her legs parted gently and twined about his. "Buffy-" Giles was whispering now, his mouth still against her lips, "are you ready?"

"Yes. Come to me. Come inside me Giles, please." Giles thrust gratefully inside her, she was hot and wet, her inner muscles clenching hard around him he was about to lose the brink of control. "Eassssy-" He hissed at her and kissed her nose. "Let us love, relax yourself or this will be over more quickly then we would like."

Although his eyes grew accustomed to the dark, they were laying in the shadows of his top bedroom, her face shadowed even more by his own. But he moved in her, he made love to her. Consciously, with every stroke giving her tenderness, giving her himself, aware with every beat of the rhythm of sex that a deep, powerful, all-encompassing, unifying emotion could accompany and even surpass the familiar physical need and the knowledge that at any moment, when he wished, he could bring that full pleasure to satisfy.

Giles made love to her, slowly, thoroughly, aware of her, of the silky feel of her skin, of the smell of her golden hair, of her very essence, of the inside of her body where she had invited and welcomed him, of her breathing and the low moans she would make that came deep within her throat. He could not see her face, but she was Buffy, she was his heart and soul, she was his love. He was very aware of the moment when he took the final, ultimate risk, laying all before her- his honor, his emotions, his very self.

"Buffy," he murmured, his mouth against hers again, "my love, my dearest love. I love you for all time, for all eternity. It is my love I give to you tonight."

"Mmm," was all she could manage, that sweet noise coming from the back of her throat once again. Giles kissed her again, and deepened it, pressing his tongue deep inside her, and at the same moment he quickened, deepened, and hardened his rhythm , he lifted his mouth away from her when he felt her muscles clench around him and sensed she was riding into her climax, he tipped back his head, breathing with her, her moans surrounding him and rested his body on his forearms once more and released his seed inside her.

Giles did not lose himself at the feeling, but simply watched as Buffy moaned and shuttered with the spasms that hit her body of completion, and she soon relaxed as he moved off to the side. Giles turned to his side and reached for Buffy and she shrugged away from him and turned, he soon heard crying and realized something had gone terribly wrong. He shut his eyes firmly as she then threw herself in his arms and held him for dear life, her tears coming down like hurricane rain.

Giles brushed her hair slightly, he wanted to say something and obviously he knew it would turn worst, but he opened his mouth anyway. "I am sorry Buffy, I should of expected that doing this would be a bad idea."

She raised her head to him, her eyes hurt, this time he was clueless what to do, but as he soon assumed something was wrong a smile appeared on her face. "I'm not upset Giles. I don't think that at all."

"Then why are you crying?"

"These are tears of joy, I'm happy. You make me happy…"

"-When skies are gray. You'll never dear, how much, I love you. Please don't take my Buf-fy away."

Giles voice was even more sexy when he sang, and Buffy smiled and looked down at his chest before regaining his gaze again. "You do know that the song is, 'Please don't take my sunshine away,' don't you?"

Giles smiled and wiped his thumbs across her half smile. "But you are my sunshine. It's when you smile, you smile as you are smiling now and people smile back glad to see a happy person. But you have two other smiles as well, the second smile is a little bigger than this one, yet not to grand, it would be a smile you would use at one of Xander's jokes. The third is by far the most amazing and most brightest, it is the smile that makes the world turn, the birds chirp, the flowers grow, and it is one of the main reasons I love you.

Buffy smiled her second smile, it was the one she most used on her face and her face then deepened back to the smaller first one. "And what if I were to never smile? What if I started to frown instead?"

"Well if that happens then the world won't turn, the birds won't chirp, the flowers won't bloom, and-"

"And?"

"I have seen every emotion on your face throughout all these years, and every single one of them give me a reason to love you, whether it's angry or sad, I will always love you." Buffy then let her face burst into the third and final smile, Giles smiled back with her as big as he could, she then rested her head against his arm and traced her fingers lightly through his light chest hair and a giggle bubbled out of her as he looked to her amused face and smiled. "Is there something amusing you would like to share luv?"

Buffy looked up at him, laughter in her eyes and on her mouth only slightly, and she fanned her hand out on his chest so that she covered the area with rubbing gentleness. "I never had a lover with chest hair."

"Hmm, interesting."

"And I don't think I've ever found myself so happy with them. You Rupert Giles make me happy, I have never felt like this with anyone."

"You have really only been with three guys previous to me Buffy, two of whom you only slept with once."

"So this happiness I feel, it's not real? Do you not feel it as well?"

"Of coarse I feel it, I have never been so happy in all my life. You are the most amazing woman I have ever loved."

"Have you loved before?"

"No, I thought I have, but the relationship did not last, I knew inside it wouldn't. I feel no such thing with you."

"Are you trying to say you want to spend eternity with me Rupert Giles?"

"I would not do anything so rash as to that unless I were to know what your reaction would be."

"Thoughtful." Giles smiled and she moved her hand and pulled herself closer to his body and he wrapped his arm about her and drew the blankets up with the other, warm, safe and snuggled in each others embrace, just like everything should be, not one of them could have been happier.
