Part 13:        Raindrops







The cold September rain bounced off the tin roof of the renovated farmhouse. It was just a light rain, but it fell heavy enough to stir the red head on the floor out of a blissful sleep. Willow looked around the room trying to figure out what had awakened her. As her mind cleared she realized it was raining.



A sleepy smiled crossed her face as her green eyes fell on the blonde still sleeping on her couch. Willow contemplated getting up but decided to stay still and just soak up the vision of beauty in front of her.



The deep and steady rise and fall of Tara’s chest told Willow that the blonde would not be waking up for some time which was quite all right with her. She propped her head up in her hand and lovingly gazed at Tara. The blonde had ignited something deep inside Willow. Something she had never experienced.



It must be love…



The phone rang and Willow silently cursed the talking device. Tara rolled onto her side and continued sleeping. Willow tried to get up without making too much noise and ended up banging her knee into the coffee table.



She would have cried out in pain but Tara turned the red head’s injury into a sweet moment by mumbling in her sleep.



“Watch out for the puppies…”



Willow stood frozen in place, the phone ringing and her knee throbbing…as an almost uncontrollable fit of giggles racked through her body.



“Puppies…?”



Willow listened as the machine picked up and the caller left a message.



I hate telemarketers…



The red head straightened up and took a long, unguarded look at Tara. The blonde was dreaming and still mumbling but Willow couldn’t distinguish words.



Tara Maclay…you are so beautiful…



Willow decided that since she was up she might as well get some breakfast going. She wondered what Tara might like and settled for pancakes.



She looks like a pancake girl…







Tara smiled as she felt herself coming out of a dream. The first thing she noticed was that she hadn’t slept in her bed…the next thing she noticed was the fact that she could smell Willow.



Mmmmm…Willow….and….pancakes….



Blue eyes fluttered open and slowly the night before came flooding back to her. She was still wrapped up in Willow's jacket and noticed that a blanket had been added.



She tucked me in….and I don’t even remember…



Tara heard noise from the kitchen and guessed that Willow was making pancakes.



She sat up and tried running her fingers through her hair but it was no use. She could only imagine how scary she must look at the moment. She pulled Willow’s jacket up to her and took a deep breath.



Mmmmm…Willow



“Hey sleepyhead…”



Tara jumped as Willow came around the corner. Whether she was startled or afraid of being caught sniffing her jacket like a total dork, she just couldn’t tell.



“Morning….”



“I hope you like pancakes…that’s all I’ve got…”



The blonde nodded and tried to stifle a yawn.



She is a goddess..



“Well….the table is set…if you’re ready….”



Tara stood and the blanket fell away from her wrinkled clothes. She still smelled like horse and desperately needed a shower.



After breakfast….





The two women sat around the table trading shy glances and soft smiles. Willow finally spoke up.



“So…what do you do with the horses on a day like this?”



Tara swallowed and took a drink of milk.



“Well…actually when it rains…unless there is an emergency…we usually just come in and feed them and then go home. Not much to do on a rainy day…”



Willow felt her heart swell.



No working in the barn….means…more time in the house…



“So…you got any plans for today…”



“Actually….if you don’t mind…I would really love to take a shower and get some clean clothes on….after that…I guess I’m yours all day…”



Willow couldn’t hide her smile and quickly decided she didn’t want to. She wanted Tara to see what the thought of spending the day with her caused.



“I mean….if you have plans….I can go home…>



“NO…I mean…no…I want you to stay…”



Tara nodded her head.



“It’s settled then…I’ll just head to the shower…then I’m all yours…”



Willow felt her breath catch as all kinds of naughty thoughts entered her mind.



Stop that….focus...focus….



“Great….maybe we can watch a movie or something…”



A crooked grin spread across Tara’s face and she couldn’t help but flirt with Willow. It just felt so natural.



“Yeah….or something…:



Willow tried to speak but ended up sounding very much like a caveman.



“Shower….upstairs…clean clothes…”



Tara stood and headed up the stairs and Willow forced herself not to watch the blonde go. She just knew she would have crawled after her continuing to mumble incoherently. Just as she felt her heart rate return to a normal pace, Tara’s sweet voice rang down the stairs.



“Willow….where are the towels?”



Willow closed her eyes and took a deep breath.



“She’s going to be the death of me….”







A few minutes later Tara emerged from the shower feeling clean and refreshed. It thrilled her beyond belief that she was actually going to be spending the day with Willow. She toweled off then secured the towel around her and walked out into Willow’s bedroom



The redhead had left a t-shirt and pair of sweats on her bed and Tara grinned. The shirt would be a little tight but the sweats were perfect. She brushed her hair and headed back down the steps.



Willow looked up when she heard the blonde coming down the steps and found herself mesmerized by the sight that greeted her.



I never knew my t-shirt could look so good…”


“Feel better….”



“Much…”



Willow grabbed the movies she had picked out and read them out loud. Tara watched as the red head displayed different emotions concerning each movie. She had seen them all, that was evident.



She’s so cute when she gets excited…



“So…which one…”



“You pick…the first one…”



First one???…that means there will be a second one….woohoo…



“Okay…how bout…this one?”



Willow held up the box with the web-shooting hero and Tara smiled. She liked Spider-Man. She was just about to say so when she noticed Willow had a very strange expression on her face.



“Willow…are you okay…”



“Fine…” Willow squeaked before clearing her throat and trying again.



“I’m fine….are you ready….”



“Yeah…”



“Well…we’ll have to go back upstairs…the tv is in my bedroom…I can move it if you want..”



Tara looked at Willow as if she had sprouted wings.



“Move it?!…Ahhh….I don’t think that is necessary…”



“Oh…well…then…..let’s go…”







Tara sat on the edge of Willow’s bed. No chairs…just bed…okay…it’s just a movie…calm down and breath Tara….it’s not like you haven’t kissed her yet…



And that seemed to be part of the problem. Tara wasn’t sure that if she climbed up in bed with Willow that she would be able to concentrate on the movie.



Slow….go slow…slow…



Willow seemed to sense some of the blonde’s anxiety and felt the need to put the girl at ease.



“Tara….if you’re uncomfortable…we can do something else…”



“No…it’s just….”



A warm blush crossed Tara’s face as she continued.



“I’m not sure I’ll be able to concentrate on the movie…”



Willow smiled as she walked up to the blonde. She ran her thumb over Tara’s lips and leaned in for a kiss.



“I know what you mean…”



Tara closed her eyes as she felt those warm Willow lips descend on her. She never knew a kiss could be so tender. Willow wrapped her arms around the blonde and pulled her closer. Their bodies pressed together causing both girls to feel weak in the knees.



Willow pulled back only to recapture Tara’s lips a few more times before reluctantly suggesting they start the movie.



After a few more kisses, Willow finally popped the dvd in and crawled up on the bed. She fluffed her pillows and leaned back against her headboard. They sat side by side, both afraid to make a move in fear of what might happen.



“Tara….”



“Yeah…”



“You want to snuggle while we watch the movie…”



The blonde just smiled and scooted in front of the red head. She felt Willow’s arms go around her and she leaned back into the warm body behind her.



The credits started to come up and the rain started to fall harder.



“Willow…”



“Yeah…”



Tara turned around and looked deep into Willow’s eyes.



“I don’t want to watch the movie…”



At that moment Willow became enslaved to the blonde.



“Me either…”



Willow ran her fingers through damp hair and captured the blonde’s lips in a slow kiss. Neither one knew where the moment would lead, but they were certain that it would go no further than what they both agreed on.



There was no rush to reach some high in the sky summit. No urgency to find release for the desire that grew inside them. They moved slow and deliberate. Taking in every touch…every kiss…as a lifetime of memories began on that rainy September day.

Yet another reason why I love rainy days. *sigh* Who needs Spider-Man when you have Tara? Anyone that chooses a movie over Tara is simply deranged. I'm glad Willow isn't deranged.

Hey WF!



Firstly, so sorry you're sick. Hope you feel better soon! Stupid cold!



Secondly, YIPPEEE! This was so sweet. It was well worth the wait.



I loved Tara smelling the jacket, just filling her senses with Willow.



And the movie? Rainy day and Tara, who needs a stinking movie? I have a feeling Willow knew what she was doing when she suggested that ... naughty Willow! (gotta love her!)



Take care of yourself. Can we get you a cup of tea?

Then when you feel better, I can't wait for the next update. You really make my day!

Part 14:        Pillow Talk





“…so after that my mom and dad divorced and we moved to Ohio. Mom loved it here…she called it God’s country…”



Willow held the blonde in her arms and had almost drifted off to sleep from the soothing tone of Tara’s voice. It was only the thrill of getting to know the blonde better and the serious turn their conversation had taken that had kept the red head awake.



“Where are they now?’



Tara tried to scoot closer to Willow even though she was already pressed against her.



“Well….Dad lives somewhere in North Carolina….and mom died two years ago.”



Willow tightened her hold on the blonde.



“Tara….I’m so sorry….I didn’t know…”



“No….it’s okay. I like talking about her…kinda makes me feel like she’s still around…”



Tara rested her head against Willow’s shoulder. She had effectively pinned the red head to the bed with her arm and leg. But Willow didn’t mind at all. She loved every minute.



“What about your parents…where are they?”



“California…”



Tara could sense that Willow didn’t want to talk much about her parents so she decided to let it drop for now. Besides, it was time for some more Willow kisses.



Tara ran her fingers underneath the red head’s shirt, drawing tiny circles on the warm belly she found there.



“Your skin is so soft…”



Willow lost herself to Tara’s touch. The blonde had just enough nails to cause a sea of goose bumps to spread across Willow’s body. She felt a delicious shiver travel from the top of her red locks to the tip of her toes.



“Tara…”



The blonde looked up and smiled.



“Yessss….”



“Will you be my date for the camp-out?”



Tara wasn’t expecting that. She thought that maybe she would get a request for another long series of kisses…or maybe even a hug as Willow had held her so close earlier when their heated kisses and soft caresses threatened to become so much more.



“Date….?”



Willow nodded her head as the answer came shining clear to her through the most gorgeous blue eyes she had ever seen.



“Willow…I would love to be your date…”



Tara straddled Willow’s hips and leaned down and planted a soft kiss on the red head’s lips. Her hair falling around them, hiding their kisses from the world behind a curtain of blonde.



“Tara….thank you for making me the happiest woman alive…”



The blonde smiled and planted another small kiss on Willow.



“I try…”



Willow’s hands rested against Tara’s waist. She was afraid to move them, fearing that they would follow their own path and not the proper path that they should.



Both girls were content to just be still in the moment. The rain continued to pound the tin roof, as the day had been lost to soft kisses and gentle touches.



“Willow…you make my heart beat so fast…”



Tara reached for Willow’s hand and brought it up to her chest. She wanted the red head to feel the truth.



“Can you feel that…?”



Willow nodded her head slowly as the heartbeat beneath her palm raced out of control. She felt her own heart flutter as her eyes drifted to her hand resting on Tara’s chest. She was close enough to feel the curve of Tara’s breast…the heat coming from beneath the thin t-shirt.



“Willow…”



Green eyes locked onto blue in an attempt to focus on what the blonde was going to say instead of what the blonde might say if she let her hand travel just a little lower. She watched as Tara closed her eyes.



Beautiful…



Tara could almost feel the rush of emotion that was getting ready to flood her body.

She opened her eyes and laid her hand over Willow’s…slowly sliding the red head’s hand to where she wanted it most.



“Willow….touch me…”



Willow felt her breath catch as her hand cupped a warm, round breast. A perfect fit. Slowly, she slid her other hand up the blonde’s body and captured another warm breast. She felt Tara’s excitement rise against her palm. It was almost too much for Willow.



Tara’s breathing deepened as she felt Willow’s hands squeeze her breasts. No one had ever touched her this way; and it certainly wasn’t because no one had offered. Tara had decided to wait for that one special person to come along and now, here she was.



“Oh…my….Willow…”



Willow leaned up and rested her head against the blonde’s chest, never letting go of her captive flesh.



“Tara…can I….I want to….”



She could feel Willow’s hot breath through the thin t-shirt and it only excited her more.



“Yes…”



With trembling hands Willow slid her fingertips under the form-fitting shirt. She could feel Tara’s body trembling and so her movements became slow almost cautious.



Finally, flesh met flesh and both girls moaned at the contact. Tara felt her body go weak with desire and new she had to lie down before she fell down. Willow sensed her movement and helped the blonde get situated. Her hands only letting go of Tara’s warm body briefly before claiming her once again.



Tara reached down and pulled at the hem of the shirt. She raised it over her head and tossed it aside, silently offering herself to Willow.



“My God Tara…you are so beautiful…”



She could see a faint blush cover the blonde’s body but it was two round breasts that held her attention.



So soft…



She ran her thumb across a swollen nipple.



So hard…



Tara gasped at the touch, arching her back in an effort to feel even more of Willow’s caress.



So gorgeous….



Willow leaned down and brushed her lips across Tara’s. The kiss started slow but grew with intensity. Tara felt overwhelmed. The feel of Willow’s tongue sliding against her own…the red head’s hands squeezing…fingers softly pinching…



Then, hot lips descending on her neck…the weight of Willow’s body…soft nibbles against her skin…trailing kisses down her chest…Tara’s world was spinning out of control….all of a sudden she felt a warm mouth…kissing…sucking…



Tara threw her head back and arched her back as her fingers tangled in red locks. The blonde had never felt such a current of desire. Willow sucked slowly…she had just found the sweetest addiction. She wanted the moment to last forever.



She could feel Tara pulling at her shirt and so she allowed the blonde to pull it over her head. Tara tossed the shirt and found her-self staring. Her first look at another woman’s body…at Willow’s body.



“Willow….you are beautiful…”



Willow waited, allowing Tara all the time she needed. The blonde ran her fingertips up Willow’s stomach, never quite touching the red head’s breasts that were beginning to ache with need.



Ever so slowly, Tara ran her hands over Willow’s breasts. She felt the red head’s body respond to her touch and smiled shyly.



“Tara…I want to kiss you so badly…”



The blonde wondered why Willow didn’t just claim her lips. Then it dawned on her that Willow lips against hers meant that their bodies would touch…their naked bodies would touch. She almost squealed in delight.



Tara nodded her consent and Willow leaned down and captured Tara’s lips. Their bodies pressed together, neither girl aware of the world around them. All that existed was this moment…the soft feel of warm skin against skin…tongue against tongue….lips kissing lips…It was the most beautiful experience in the world.



“Willow…”



“Mmmmmm…..what is it baby?”



Tara felt almost guilty for not wanting to take things any further. But there was time…plenty of time.



“Hold me Willow….I need you to just hold me…”



Tara found herself wrapped up in Willow arms instantly. The red head didn’t question her or make her feel pressured to go on. She just did what the blonde asked.



“Never let me go Willow….never….”



“I won’t baby….I promise….”



The two girls lay entwined together in the middle of the bed. The world outside their window long forgotten. All they knew was that they were together and at last had found their way home.







Tbc…..

Heck no, let them take it as slow as possible At least half (if not 83,3% :-) of the fun is getting there.



I like the image of the girls getting to know each other while it's raining outside. Don't know exactly why but it sounds nice. Lots of romance in here, which is gooooooooooooood.



Not much else to comment really :-)

I tend to agree with everyone else. I think the pace you've set between the girls is great, and you move very smoothly from the intimacy of getting to know each other to the more physical aspects of their relationship. Keep up the great work!

Well.....THANK YOU...THANK YOU.....THANK YOU....



I feel so much better now...I was really starting to freak out after I posted that...lol...but the masses have spoken and my freak zone is leveling out....



The response I've gotten from this story is amazing...and I'm having a blast writing it.....Anyway.....here is part 15....I hope you enjoy.....





Happy Easter to all who celebrate....

Part 15:        Soup







Tara slowly opened her eyes and noticed that the rain had almost stopped. She glanced at the clock and sighed. It was time to check on the horses. Time had completely escaped the two women and sleep had claimed them for the afternoon.



Tara smiled at the petite woman still sleeping soundly wrapped around her. She ran her fingers over a smooth shoulder covered in freckles.



How cute…



Willow stirred in her sleep and Tara took the opportunity to untangle herself from the red head. She picked up a t-shirt and started to put it on then realized that it was Willow’s. She smiled as she looked over at the sleeping beauty.



She didn’t know how this California native had managed to move here and capture her heart so quickly. But Tara knew without a doubt that Willow was the one. She had known it the moment their eyes met and everything that felt undone in Tara’s life slid into place.



Tara grabbed her t-shirt and pulled it on. She guessed that if she was a bit cold, then Willow must be even colder. She pulled a blanket over those freckled shoulders and placed a kiss on Willow’s head.



“Where you going?”



“Hey…I thought you were asleep…”



Willow turned towards the blonde and smiled a sleepy smile.



“I was until my heater left…now I’m cold.”



Tara handed the other t-shirt to Willow.



“Put this on…I’ll turn the heat up before I go out…”



“Out?”



Tara tucked a stray hair behind Willow’s ear and lovingly caressed her cheek.



“I have to feed the horses…”



Willow wanted to pout but she didn’t. Those horses were Tara’s life and there was no way she would try and take her away from them.



“Coming back…?”



“As soon as I’m finished…”



Willow grabbed Tara’s hand and brought it to her lips, placing warm kisses all over it.



“Take your time…and be careful…”



Tara could only grin at Willow as she got up and made her way toward the door. She looked back and saw Willow pulling the t-shirt over her head.



“Get under the covers…you’ll be much warmer…”



Willow smiled and did as she was told, knowing that she should get up and get something warmer on and even fix them something for dinner. Not to mention her bladder was screaming at her to make a trip to the bathroom.



I’ll wait till she’s out the door…then I’ll get up and surprise her when she comes back in with lot’s of yummy goodness…



Willow listened as Tara went down stairs and out the door. She quickly got up and headed to the bathroom.



First things first…









Tara walked to the barn in hurried steps. The temperature had definitely dropped. She would need to make sure that there was plenty of hay for the horses before she left the barn.



The walls of the barn were very sound and kept the air off the horses, but she really wished that they had a way to heat the barn. But until that day came she could only do the best she could with what she had.



She opened the barn door and stepped inside, thankful for the shelter from the cold wind and rain. She walked down the stalls checking on the horses. She called each one by name and they all greeted her as she walked by.



She gave a little extra food to the mom-to-be and then headed upstairs. She charted their feedings and then decided to call Doug.



“Hello…”



“Hey Doug…it’s Mac….I just wanted to let ya know that you didn’t have to come up to the barn today…”



“Well…you caught me just in time…I was ready to head that way…”



Tara smiled into the phone.



“Well…I’ve got it all under control…so go do something fun….”



Doug just laughed and teased the blonde about wanting to be on the farm alone with the red head and was a little surprised when all he got was a shy laugh.



“Well…get out of that barn and back to your honey….I’m sure it’s much warmer in the house….”



“I’ll see you tomorrow Doug….if you need me call my cell…”



‘Okay Mac…bye…”



“Bye.”



Tara hung up the phone and double-checked the horses before leaving them. They all looked very content as they chomped on their grain.



“I’ll be back later my little babies…..”



A soft snort was all she got from Frankie as she closed the door and took off for the house. She pulled her jacket tight around her and picked up the pace.



Maybe I’ll fix Willow something good to eat….



Tara stepped through the front door, momentarily lost in the happy feeling of not having to knock but just walking right on in like she lived there too. Her thoughts began drifting towards that happy scenario.



I wonder if she leaves the cap off the toothpaste?



The blonde walked into the living room and could smell something cooking in the kitchen.



Well…looks like she beat me to it



“Honey…I’m home….”



Willow smiled as the blondes voice floated through the kitchen and wrapped around her followed by arms that were still chilled from being outside.



“Ohhh…cold…cold…”



Tara just smiled innocently.



I am so whipped



“Are you hungry?”



“Starving…”



Willow stirred the vegetable soup that had begun to boil.



“Well…wash your hands and I’ll set the table.”



“Yes..ma’am…”



Tara placed a quick kiss on Willow’s cheek and headed to the sink to wash her hands. Willow pulled down some bowls from the cabinets and grabbed some spoons.



“You want crackers?”



“Sure…”





The two women worked side by side pouring soup, getting drinks and whatever else they could find to munch on. They decided to sit in the living room in front of the fire and warm their backs as well as their bellies.



Dinner was comfortably quiet as both Willow and Tara ate their soup. The fire crackled and the room glowed from the red and orange flames. Who knew soup could be so romantic.







Tbc…

[ApplesauceHorsies]

Awwww. I'm a neglectful little Kitten, missing two updates. Tsk tsk on me--very good updates they were, too.

It's cold and rainy here today, and the image of W/T eating soup by the fire just warmed me up. Aww.



Yay for soup and crackers, and for horsies, and for Willow and Tara, and for everything else in the world!

Hey WF!!



Sorry I'm late checking in, but YAY! I got two updates!!!



Okay, still got this goofy grin on my face from part 14 and now 15 -- let me check, yep, it's still there.



Well YUMMY and a BIG NUMMY!

You are doing an awesome job, taking their time, knowing their limits (for the time being). Just holding -- so sweet, yet says so much.

Great job!



Happy writing! And Happy Easter to you! (I think I had too much nog!)



Wimpy
