***** missing scene from the episode, "This Year's Girl", Season 5 *****
The blonde awoke with a start. Her skin shimmered with a thin sheath of perspiration from the thick and humid California night air. Restless dreams clouded her brain while Egyptian cotton sheets tangled around her tanned and toned limbs. She narrowed her eyes, staring into the dark corners of her room. The pale moonlight streamed through the glass panes, moonbeams like icy fingers spread across the feather comforter.
"Who's there?" she rasped into the darkness, surprised by her own throaty voice.
The figure sauntered from out of the black, her features highlighted by the limited lighting. A smile slowly formed at the corners of the dark form's thick, bruising lips and Buffy felt her skin turn cold.
"Faith," she started. "How did you...What are you doing here?"
The younger Slayer, dressed in a red tank top and black leathers, slowly crossed her arms, accentuating her exposed cleavage as she took a step closer to Buffy's bed. Her long wavy brown hair shone against the night lighting and airily bounced with each step.
"You don't know what it's like, B. You think you matter. You think you're a part of something and you get dumped. It's like the whole world is moving but you're stuck. Like those animals in the tar pits. It's like you just keep sinking a little deeper everyday and nobody even sees."
Buffy laced her fingers around the sheets, suddenly feeling entirely vulnerable and exposed, while her eyes followed the graceful paces of the other Slayer who continued to rant.
"I wake up to find that this blonde chick isn't even dating the guy she was so nuts about before. I mean, she's moved on to the first college beef stick she meets."
There was a fire in Faith's eyes that Buffy could see even in the dimly lit bedroom. She stopped pacing and slid up to the end of Buffy's bed, hovering over the seated, smaller blond. Her hair now appeared wild and unkempt. Faith continued on, resting and leaning her hands at the bottom of the bed. Despite the months of inactivity, the muscles of her bare arms still appeared sinewy and toned. Buffy closed her eyes at Faith's next words.
"And not only has she forgotten the love of her life, she's forgotten all about the chick she nearly killed for him."
Faith choked and paused for a moment. Buffy opened her eyes to find herself inches from Faith's own. Night and day...they were such opposites, yet cut from the same Slayer cloth. Faith opened her mouth to again accost the Slayer, finding her voice again, but Buffy released her grip on the sheets and instead touched the tips of her fingers to Faith's parting lips.
"Faith. I never forgot you."
Faith released a low sigh, audible only to those with Slayer senses, feeling Buffy's fiery touch invading her skin. Buffy tentatively ran her tongue over her own lips, the pink tip barely visible, moistening and preparing the skin. Faith's eyes widened in disbelief as Buffy carefully and deliberately narrowed the space between the two and pressed her lips against Faith's own smoldering pair.
Faith could feel her enemy Slayer's lips parting beneath her own and she gladly slipped her rose tongue into Buffy's mouth, slowly massaging the blonde's tongue with her own. Each woman gasped sharply as the kiss's intimacy heightened and metamorphosed into the mashing of mouths and clashing of teeth. Clinging, wanting, and desperate. The only sounds in the dark dorm room of locking lips and labored breathing. Faith ran her hands through Buffy's hair, tangling and twirling the blonde strands around her thin fingers as Buffy's own hands wandered down to the hem of Faith's tank top and toyed with the material.
Faith shivered as Buffy's soft hands came in contact with her bare stomach, sliding so easily over the smooth and taunt skin. Faith gasped as she felt Buffy's mouth move from her own down to her exposed neck. "Oh, B...I...I've wanted you for so long." Buffy murmured her approval. "Mmm..Faith...your skin tastes so good...good enough to eat." Faith felt her eyes roll back as Buffy slowly sank her teeth into the delicate flesh.
"Shit, B." Faith suddenly pushed Buffy off and back onto the bed. Buffy stared up at the dark Slayer with confusion written across her heavenly features. "Faith? Wha..What's wrong?"
Faith stood up, rubbing her neck gingerly, and began to pace around the room anxiously.
"You can't just DO that, B. There are rules. Good and Evil and all that. I didn't come here to..." Faith trailed off.
"Fuck me?" Buffy questioned.
Faith stared at the feminine form before her and swallowed hard, shaking her head finally, and looked out the window. Buffy tossed the covers off of her body and swung her legs over the side of the bed feeling the coarse residence hall carpeting under her bare feet. She stood and padded over to the taller girl, dressed only in a thin a-shirt and white cotton bikini briefs. Faith glanced sideways at the girl and mentally noted how hot the night must have been for Buffy to shed her yummy sushi pajamas. The white wife-beater was worn thin from numerous washings and hugged Buffy's boyish waistline. Her small round breasts begged for attention from Faith's mouth, her nipples visibly poking through the material. Jutting hip bones peeked out from atop Buffy's modest underwear and Faith found herself wondering what the rest of Buffy's body tasted like.
Buffy laid a soft, warm hand on Faith's bare shoulder, sending electric bolts through the brunette's body, down to her core. She knew she was wet and Buffy had only kissed her. "Please, Faith," she cooed. "I've missed you. I want this and I know you do too. I certainly haven't been blind to all the sexual innuendoes you've tossed my way in the past." A small smirk crossed Buffy's features remembering Faith's old post-Slayage line, "hungry and horny".
Faith shook her head again and turned away from the blond. "What about the Beefcake?" Buffy grabbed her arm and spun Faith to face her. "Riley is my boyfriend, yes." She gently cupped Faith's chin between her thumb and forefinger. "But Riley couldn't even begin to comprehend what there is between you and me." Buffy raised up on her tiptoes and gently placed a kiss on Faith's contorted and tortured mouth.
Faith felt all resistance melt away in that simple and genuine kiss and wrapped her slender arms around Buffy's torso, giving herself up to the elder Slayer. The two tangoed sensually back to Buffy's bed, acutely aware of the night sky turning to shades of pink and orange.
Buffy gently, but forcibly, pushed the rogue Slayer onto her bed. Buffy slid onto the bed and straddled Faith's muscular body. Faith grinned at the nimble form practically floating above her. "Damn B. I never would have figured you as a top."
Buffy grabbed the bottom of her wife-beater and slowly raised the shirt above her breasts, past her collarbone, and over her shoulders and head, haphazardly tossing the garment across the room. "I'm sure you wouldn't have figured a lot of things about me, Faith."
Faith liked the way Buffy said her name...the way it tripped and tickled across her tongue. Faith looked up and murmured her approval, "No...just dreamed..." Buffy brought her hands up to her own firm, upturned breasts, cupping the small globes in her hands. Faith gaped in awe at this overtly sexual creature, now tweaking and pinching her own nipples and grinding her barely covered sex against Faith's pelvic bone. Faith clutched Buffy's upper thighs and attempted to sit up, but placing her hands on Faith's shoulders, the elder Slayer pinned her flat, again on her back.
Buffy leaned over and yanked Faith's red top awkwardly from her torso, being mindful of her hair, finally revealing supple, heaving cleavage confined beneath a black silken bra. Buffy breathed in the tanned sight beneath her. Tenderly, lovingly, Buffy placed small butterfly-soft kisses on Faith's now exposed collarbone. She licked and nipped at the bare skin beneath her, eliciting small sighs and moans from her confined lover. Buffy easily slid a hand underneath Faith's arched back and with surprising expertise, unfastened and removed the offending garment. Buffy stared hard at the brunette's body with a glazed over look visible in her green speckled hazel eyes. "So beautiful..." she whispered.
Faith cried out when she felt the first contact. Warm, wanting, wet kisses fluttering briefly over her sensitive breasts. Buffy kissed the underside of Faith's breasts and slowly traced a line to her nipples with the tip of her tongue. Faith gasped at the sudden sensation as Buffy's tongue lashed out and captured a nipple between her two lips, rolling it gently between her teeth, her tongue rapidly flicking the jutting jumbled nerves back and forth from within the humid cavern of her open mouth. Faith arched her back even more, holding the blonde's mouth tight against her breast, crying out for more.
