Dawn was sitting at a table in the Bronze with Janice the next Friday evening. Kevin and Dave were off playing pool with each other. Dawn was admiring Kevin’s butt as he leaned over the table to take his shot.
“Is that one of the student teachers over there with your sister?” asked Janice.
Dawn looked the way Janice indicated and saw Buffy out on the dance floor with Mr. Johnston. “Yeah, it is. God, it’s bad enough having her in the school all the time. Now she’s dating a teacher!”
“Student teacher,” said Janice. “They haven’t lost all their cool yet. He’s kinda cute.”
“It’s still creepy,” said Dawn. She watched Mr. Johnston slide his arm around Buffy. She didn’t seem to be minding it at all. “I mean look at them out there!”
“Hey, he isn’t all over her the way Kevin is over you.”
“It’s only their first date,” said Dawn, “and he’s going to be around for another two weeks.”
“Then he reverts back to being a student,” said Janice, “and he’s going to UCSunnydale, so he’ll still be in town.”
The guys picked that time to come back to the table. Janice looked at the bandage that Kevin was still wearing on his neck when he went out in public. “What happened to you?”
“He keeps telling me that he was bitten by a vampire,” said Dave. “I think it was Dawn.”
Dawn struggled to keep a straight face. “It was a vampire. I chased it off with a cross, and holy water.”
“You just don’t want anyone to know you’ve been giving him hickeys,” said Dave.
“Yes,” said Dawn. “You have discovered our deep, dark secret. We will live in shame for the rest of our lives.”
While she was distracting Dave, Dawn saw Janice catch Kevin’s eye, pull aside her collar a bit, and smile at him. His eyes widened a touch when he saw the faint marks on her neck.
Janice grabbed Dave’s arm, and pulled him out of his seat. “Come on, let’s dance.” She pulled him off toward the dance floor.
“Buffy was right!” said Kevin.
“That does happen on rare occasions,” said Dawn. “What was she right about this time?”
“Janice is the third person this week to show me a bite mark! It’s like I’ve joined some sort of secret society, and this…” Kevin tugged at his collar. “…is our recognition signal. Did you know about her?”
“Um, yeah. It happened on Halloween, a year ago,” said Dawn. “We both snuck out, and met up with a couple of guys we’d met at a party. Turned out they were vamps.”
“But you didn’t get bitten?”
“Buffy caught up with us before Justin managed to get his teeth into me,” said Dawn. “I almost wished she hadn’t, I felt so stupid.”
“And she staked him?”
“Actually, no, I staked him,” said Dawn.
Kevin grinned. “Remind me not to piss you off.” He looked off toward the dance floor. “So, does Janice know about Buffy?”
“Nope,” said Dawn. “She’d gone off on her own with her guy, and never saw Buffy. Someone else got the vamp that attacked her.”
Dawn sat and thought for a bit. “You know, Kevin, about that secret society thing? There are, um, ‘clubs’ of people who actually…like being bitten. Some of them think it’s a big rush. Some are kids who’ve read too much Anne Rice, and think it would be neat to become a vampire. There are vamps who use people like that. If anyone ever gives you the ‘secret signal’ and then invites you to actually join their club, don’t do it. Tell Buffy.”
“I’ll do that,” said Kevin. “Enough of this serious talk.” He got out of his seat and extended a hand to Dawn. “Care to dance Miss Summers?”
Dawn smiled, and took his hand. “Love to, Mr. Berman.”
Kevin led Dawn out to the dance floor, and they started to dance together. It was a nice slow song, and Dawn snuggled up close to him. She could see that Buffy was still dancing with Mr. Johnston (she really had to find out his first name) and they were getting pretty snuggly too. That gave her an idea. “It’s looking like Buffy’s going to be out late tonight,” she whispered in Kevin’s ear. “Want to come over to my place?”
“Sounds like a plan,” said Kevin. They finished off the dance before they went back to their table to collect their jackets and things.
They passed by Buffy’s table on their way out of the Bronze. “Going so soon?” asked Buffy.
“Yeah,” said Dawn. “Try not to stay out too late.”
“I’ll try to be home by one,” said Buffy.
“Have fun,” said Dawn. “See you later.” She took hold of Kevin’s arm and they headed for the exit.
Dawn got a fire going in the fireplace while Kevin laid the cushions from the sofa out on the floor in front of it and covered them with a blanket, making a comfortable nest for them. She loaded the CD changer in the stereo with her favourite music, some Indigo Girls, Cowboy Junkies and even one of Willow’s Dingos Ate My Baby discs. She went to the kitchen, and got a couple of wine glasses out of the cupboard. She smiled as she filled them with white grape juice. At least they looked sophisticated. She carried the glasses back out to the living room, and hit the light switch with her elbow, to turn them off.
Dawn handed Kevin his glass, and they settled down into the cushions in front of the fire together. Kevin sniffed at his glass. “Excellent nose.” He swirled the grape juice around a bit, and held the glass up to the firelight. “Good legs.” He took a sip. “Very fruity.” He held out his glass in a toast. “To you.”
Dawn brought her glass up to lightly touch against his. “To you.” They both sipped.
Dawn snuggled up beside Kevin, and he put his arm around her shoulders. They sat together sipping their grape juice, listening to the music, and watching the fire.
Kevin set his glass down on the floor, and brought his hand up to push Dawn’s hair back behind her ear. “You have the most beautiful hair.” He leaned toward her and kissed her earlobe. “Not to mention other parts.” His tongue darted out to caress her neck.
Dawn put her glass down, and turned toward him. She kissed him on the lips. “You’re very handsome too.”
Kevin’s hand slid down to Dawn’s shoulder while he kissed her. Her tongue danced against his in his mouth. His hand kept moving down over her hip, to the bare thigh below the hem of her skirt.
Dawn slid her mouth away from Kevin’s, and moved it to his neck. She kept moving down, across his collar bone. She brought her hand up and undid the buttons of his shirt as she kissed her way down his chest.
Dawn pulled open Kevin’s shirt and kissed and licked his nipple. She pressed her breast against the hardness growing in his crotch before she kept moving down, undoing buttons as she went, down to his navel. She started to work her way back up, past his other nipple, and back to his mouth.
Kevin’s hand slid up the outside of Dawn’s thigh, under her skirt until it reached the strip of cloth of her panties across her hip. He stopped there for a moment as he kissed her. He slid his fingers under her panties, and moved them around to her ass.
Dawn pulled Kevin’s shirt off his shoulders, and pulled it down his arms. He had to let go of her temporarily to allow her to pull it off completely. She ran her hand across his bare chest.
Kevin brought his hand up and started to undo the buttons of Dawn’s blouse. He moved his mouth down, kissing her as he uncovered her flesh. His tongue licked the tops of her breasts as his hand moved behind her back to unhook her bra. He pulled her blouse away from her shoulders, and kissed them too. The blouse and bra soon joined the growing pile of clothes on the floor.
Dawn lay back on the cushions as Kevin’s lips brushed over her breasts. His tongue circled her tightening nipples. His hand went down below the hem of her skirt again. This time he slid it between her legs, at mid thigh. He slowly started to move it up while he sucked one nipple into his mouth, and teased the other with the fingers of his left hand.
Dawn moaned with pleasure as Kevin’s lips, tongue, and hands moved over her body. She ran the fingers of one hand through his hair, holding his mouth to her breast, while her other hand stroked the muscles of his back and shoulder. She knew she was going to have to make a decision about where his right hand was going soon. Kevin seemed to be giving her lots of time to make it. His progress had started out slow, and gotten slower. Every time his hand moved now, it seemed to cover an ever diminishing fraction the distance remaining, like Xeno’s rabbit gaining on the tortoise, but like the rabbit, Dawn knew that Kevin’s hand would eventually reach its goal in the real world.
She felt his thumb brush against her panties.
Dawn clenched her thighs together, to capture his hand where it was. Kevin looked up at her, silently asking what she wanted him to do. She smiled and pulled his head up to hers to kiss him. She rolled over onto her side to lie facing him.
Kevin’s hand had to leave Dawn’s thigh when she pulled him up to her, so he wrapped it around her back, and pulled her closer as he slipped his tongue into her mouth. Her hand started to tease a nipple on his chest, and she brought her leg up, and lay it across his hip. Kevin’s hand moved down, and once again slid under her skirt, and then up to her hip. They stayed together like that for a long time, kissing each other.
Dawn moved her hand down across Kevin’s belly. She hesitated when she got to his belt buckle, but then she moved it farther down, pressing against the bulge inside his pants.
Kevin brought his hand out from under Dawn’s skirt, and slid it around to her front. He slid it down until he was pressing at her crotch through the fabric.
Dawn took her mouth away from Kevin’s and pulled her head back far enough that she could focus on his eyes. She brought her hand back up a bit and started to undo his belt. She saw his eyes widen, and his pupils dilate. She opened his belt, and then the top button of his jeans. She slid the zipper down.
Dawn slid her hand down along Kevin’s belly, inside his underwear, into the softness of his pubic hair. She could feel his cock against the back of her hand, but she kept her hand pressed against his belly, until her fingers met its base. She pushed her hand down farther rubbing along the inside of his thigh.
Kevin pulled Dawn’s skirt up. His fingers brushed the waist band of her panties. He slid them under it, and down into her pubic hair. He let his hand linger there for a moment as he ran his fingers through it. He moved his hand farther down, until his fingers were rubbing one of the creases where Dawn’s legs met her body.
All the while they had both been staring into each other’s eyes, alert for any signal that they were going too far. No signals were given. Dawn closed her eyes and pressed her forehead against Kevin’s. “Ummm, that feels good,” she whispered as he stroked the sensitive skin between her thigh and her sex.
She opened her eyes again so she could watch Kevin’s reaction as she brought her hand up a bit, and turned it around to grasp his cock.
Kevin closed his eyes. “Oh Dawn!” He opened his eyes again so he could watch her face as he moved his hand a little to the side, until he was cupping her vulva. She gasped, and squeezed his cock tighter.
Both of their hands started to move at the same time. Dawn slid hers up to the head of his cock. She felt the slickness of his pre-cum lubricating her fingers. She slid her hand back down.
Kevin’s fingers slid between the folds of Dawn’s labia. It was slick with moisture too. He moved his finger across the entrance to her vagina, but he didn’t press into it.
They synchronized the movement of their hands and breathlessly whispered directions to each other. Kevin guided Dawn on how to squeeze and stroke his cock and balls, while she directed his fingers to her clit. Their hands started to move faster, and their breathing came in shallow gasps.
Dawn wanted more stimulation than she was getting from Kevin’s finger on her clit. “Put it in me!” she whispered to him. “I want to feel your finger in me!” Kevin moved his hand down, and brushed his middle finger across the entrance to her vagina again. “Put it in!” said Dawn.
Kevin did as he was told. He sank his finger into her warm, moist passage.
“Mmm…farther…that’s right…now press it against the front…a little farther…Oh yes!” He had reached her G-spot. “Now rub it! In and out!” She set the pace she wanted him to use by her stroking of his cock. “Oh yes! Aaaah!”
Kevin felt the walls of Dawn’s vagina convulsing against his finger as she came. Her hand tightened around his cock, and he groaned as that triggered him too.
Dawn felt Kevin convulse in her hand, and felt his warm semen spray up over her belly and across her breasts while she was still feeling the waves her own orgasm.
Dawn milked the semen from Kevin’s cock, while she felt it softening in her hand. She pressed herself against him, smearing the sticky liquid between their bodies as she kissed him. He continued to move his finger inside her.
Kevin pulled his mouth away from Dawn’s. “That was…wonderful! You are incredible.”
“You’re pretty incredible yourself,” said Dawn. She rocked her hips with the finger still moving slowly inside her, and reached down to stroke Kevin’s balls. “Mmm, that feels good.”
“You feel good,” said Kevin. He felt himself stiffening.
Dawn could feel it too. “You want to go again?”
“Always!” said Kevin.
“Good!” she wrapped her hand around his cock, and started to pump it again as she kissed him.
They took their time, moving more slowly around and inside one another. Dawn had Kevin put two fingers inside her this time. When she felt her orgasm approaching, she had him slow down, extending her anticipation until she made him come first. His fingers convulsing as he came set her off too, this time in an even more intense and prolonged orgasm of her own.
Kevin brought his hand up away from Dawn’s pussy, and slid it across the liquid coating her stomach and breasts. It felt paradoxically sticky, and slippery at the same time. He could also feel that semen from his first orgasm was drying, and it was starting to itch a bit. “Maybe I should get some condoms before we do this again,” he told her. “Just to contain the mess.”
“If you’d thought of that earlier, I could have supplied you with some,” said Dawn. She saw his eyes widen. “Buffy’s old boyfriend left a box behind.”
“Oh.” He kissed her. “Next time. The question now is: How do we get ourselves cleaned up?”
Dawn grinned. “There’s a shower upstairs.”
Kevin wasn’t sure if she was making an offer. “You can go first.”
“I was thinking more along the lines of ‘together.’ ”
“How much time do we have before Buffy or Willow get home?”
“I don’t expect either of them before one,” said Dawn. She looked at the clock on the VCR. “We’ve got a couple of hours still.”
Kevin pulled away from Dawn, and got to his feet. His pants were still mostly on, he had to pull them up a bit before he rezipped his fly to keep them up. He looked down at Dawn in the dim light from the neglected fire. He held out his hand to pull her to her feet. “Let’s go.”
They left their clothes piled on the floor, and went up the stairs to the bathroom together. Dawn flipped on the light, and turned toward Kevin. “Let’s get you out of those pants.” She stepped up to him, unzipped his fly, and pulled his pants down. She slid her hands into his briefs, and pulled them down too. She stepped back and turned away to turn on the taps for the shower. She felt Kevin undo the button on the side of her skirt, and lower the zipper. It fell down around her ankles. He took hold of her panties, and started pull them down while she bent over and held her hand in the stream of water coming from the faucet, feeling its temperature.
Dawn didn’t move as Kevin slowly pulled her panties down her legs, until he reached her ankles. Then she slowly stepped out of them. Kevin’s hands lingered on her legs, and he slowly took her socks off too.
The water started to run warm, so Dawn straightened up, and turned around to finally look at Kevin. He was completely naked now too, standing before her. Her eyes tracked down along the curves of his body, chest, arms, hips, legs. He looked good. Her eyes came to rest on his penis. It was coming back to attention. “Do you want me to take care of that before we take our shower?”
“How about during?” asked Kevin. He stepped toward her. His cock pressed against her belly as he kissed her.
Dawn pulled away, and stepped into the tub. “Okay, then you better get in here.”
Kevin followed Dawn into the shower, and she pulled the curtain closed. She turned away, bent over, and lifted the knob on the top of the faucet to turn on the shower. She was hit by an initial shock of cold water from the pipes.
When Dawn turned back to Kevin she saw that he already had the bar of soap in his hands. He started to rub it over her shoulders, following with his other hand to spread the lather over her skin. He worked his way down, over her breasts, and down to her stomach, making sure that he didn’t miss anything. He finished by running his soapy hand down through her pubic hair, and across her vulva.
“Turn around,” said Kevin. Dawn did, letting the shower rinse the soap off her front, while Kevin repeated the operation on her back. He paid special attention to her buttocks, sliding his slippery hands over them. “You have a beautiful ass too,” he told her. She felt him lower himself onto his knees behind her, and kiss it. “Yech, I should have rinsed the soap off first.” She giggled.
Kevin proceeded to soap down one of Dawn’s legs, and then back up the other. This time his hand lingered between her legs, sliding his fingers over her labia from behind. Dawn leaned forward, resting her hands on the shower wall in front of her, letting the warm water run over her head while his fingers probed her vagina. He started to thrust two fingers from his right hand into her. Kevin brought his left hand around, and approached her sex from the front, sliding it down until he found her clit with his finger tips. He rubbed it in time with his thrusting fingers. Dawn cried out as her third orgasm of the night washed over her.
Kevin slid his fingers out of Dawn. He licked his tongue along her spine as he stood up. All traces of the soap had been rinsed off long ago. His hands slid up along her front, until they were cupping her breasts. He pulled her back against him.
Dawn felt Kevin’s cock press against her tail bone. He started to rock his hips, rubbing it against her backside. He pressed his mouth against the side of her neck.
Dawn started to rotate her hips, in time with Kevin’s thrusts, grinding back against him. She took his left hand off her breast, and guided it back down between her legs. She twisted her head around so she could kiss him. They moved together like that until Kevin came again.
Kevin stood holding Dawn for a long while, while the water poured over them. Then he pulled away. “I think I’m going to have to scrub your back again,” he said. He retrieved the soap off the floor of the tub, and reapplied it to wash the fresh semen away from her.
Dawn turned around when he was done, and took the soap from him. “My turn.” She rubbed the bar over his chest and stomach, working up a good layer of lather, and then pressed herself against him and kissed him while her soapy hands moved down to clean his cock, and balls.
Dawn knelt in front of Kevin to clean his legs. His cock hung only a few inches in front of her face, and she wondered what it would be like to take it into her mouth. Some of her friends had talked about going down on guys, and it had always seemed a little gross to Dawn, but now she found herself thinking about taking Kevin into her mouth, while she soaped and scrubbed his legs. She contented herself with giving his cock another caress with her hand, while she got back to her feet, and told him to turn around so she could do his back.
The water temperature was starting to drop when Dawn was running her hands over Kevin’s buttocks. Dawn finished rinsing him off, and turned off the water. They got out of the shower and towelled each other off. They took their time, making sure that they covered every nook and cranny of each other’s bodies. They used Dawn’s blow drier to do each other’s hair.
Once they were both thoroughly dried, Dawn picked up her clothes off the floor, and opened the door. Goose-bumps rose on her skin as it met the cooler air from the hallway.
Kevin gathered up his clothes, and followed Dawn out into the hallway. He hung back a bit, so he could watch the way her ass swayed as she walked down the dimly lit hall to her bedroom. She disappeared into it, but came out again quickly, having disposed of the panties and socks. She came back to Kevin, still carrying her skirt, and gave him another quick kiss before she turned away again, and went down the stairs.
Kevin followed Dawn back into the living room, still carrying his bundled up pants, briefs, and socks. It was almost completely dark, just a few shafts of light through the cracks in the curtains from the outside street lights, and a dull red glow from the embers remaining in the fireplace. He dropped his clothes into the pile with the rest of their clothing and took Dawn into his arms for another long, slow kiss.
Dawn pulled away first. “This is nice, and I’d like to keep doing it, but Buffy or Willow is going to be home soon. I think we better get some clothes on.”
“I guess you’re right.” Kevin rummaged through the pile for a bit, and came up with Dawn’s bra. He held it out for her. “You first.”
Dawn slipped her arms through the straps, and turned to let Kevin fasten it behind her back. Next he held up her blouse, and helped her put it on. He nestled himself against her back while he did up the buttons, She could feel his still soft cock against her backside.
Kevin leaned down again and picked up her skirt. “Panties?” he asked.
Dawn smiled. “We can skip those.”
Kevin held the skirt for Dawn to step into and lifted it up her legs. He lifted the zipper far enough to hold it in place, and went to work tucking her blouse into it. This time his hands slid down much farther than was necessary, all the way around. He finished by raising the zipper to the top, and redoing the button.
“Now it’s my turn,” said Dawn. She started out by helping him put on his shirt, the way he’d done with her blouse. Then she got his briefs, knelt down onto the floor, and held them as he stepped into them. She lifted the briefs up his legs. She paused briefly, just before she pulled them up the final six inches, to give his cock one more caress with her hand, then she repeated the operation with his pants. She had him lie back down in their nest of pillows while she put his socks on, and then she kissed him again.
Dawn sat up, and retrieved her wine glass. She took a sip, and discovered that the grape juice had gotten quite warm while they’d been playing. “Why don’t you get the fire going again, and I’ll go freshen our drinks,” she told Kevin.
Nick Johnston pulled his car to a stop at the curb in front of Buffy’s house. She undid her seatbelt, and leaned across to give him a quick kiss. “I had a great time!” she told him. “Want to come in for a few minutes?”
Nick smiled. “Yeah, I’d like that.” They both got out of the car, and walked up the path to the front porch together.
Buffy grinned. “I hope we’re not interrupting Dawn and Kevin in the middle of something.” She pushed open the door, and they entered the foyer. The house was dark except for the flicker of firelight coming out of the living room, and a light on somewhere upstairs.
Buffy heard Dawn’s voice coming from the living room. “Oh yes. Like that. Mmm, that feels good … A little more. … Not so hard. Oh right there!”
Buffy froze. ‘What do I do now?’ she asked herself. She turned and looked back at Nick, who was visibly blushing in the porch light.
“Hi Dawn! I’m home!” she called out. She turned on the light in the foyer, but she didn’t move any farther into the house.
What happened next was not what Buffy expected. She heard a cheerful “Hi Buffy!” from Dawn, followed a couple of seconds later by a giggle, and “No, don’t stop now!”
Buffy and Nick exchanged a very surprised look. Buffy took a deep breath, and took a couple of steps forward, so she could see into the living room.
Dawn was lying back, propped up on her elbows in what looked like a pile of all the cushions from all the living room furniture in front of the fireplace. Buffy could see a couple of empty wine glasses on the floor, and Kevin was seated cross legged in front of Dawn with his hands around her bare…foot? He resumed his massage of it while Buffy watched.
Dawn looked back over her shoulder, and smiled at her sister. “How was your date?”
“Very nice,” said Buffy. She glanced back at Nick. “It’s safe.” She looked back at Kevin and Dawn, and considered the angles a bit. The way they were sitting Kevin must have a very good view up Dawn’s skirt.
When Dawn realized that Buffy wasn’t alone, she pulled her foot out of Kevin’s hands, and sat up herself. The way she adjusted her skirt told Buffy that she had been quite aware of what Kevin could see.
Nick came into view through the French doors. “Oh, hi Mr. Johnston,” said Dawn.
“I guess you can call me ‘Nick’ away from the school.” He looked at the pair of kids sitting in the pile of cushions on the floor, and wondered just what he and Buffy had interrupted.
Buffy came in and picked up the empty wine glasses. “Why don’t you guys get the furniture put back together, so someone else can sit down?” she asked Kevin and Dawn. She nodded for Nick to follow her out to the kitchen.
Buffy sniffed at the glasses to find out what they’d been drinking before she put them down on the counter. “Can I get you something?” she asked Nick. She opened the fridge and looked inside. “Looks like they finished off the grape juice. We’ve got milk, water, beer, Coke, Sprite…”
“A Coke would be good.” Nick dropped his voice into a whisper. “What were they doing in there?”
Buffy pulled a can of Coke out of the fridge for Nick, and a Sprite for herself. She smiled at him. “He was massaging her feet. Sounded like he’s really good at it.”
When Buffy and Nick got back to the living room Kevin was finishing replacing the cushions on the sofa, and Dawn was going up the stairs with the folded blanket.
Dawn came back down a minute later, and found Kevin waiting in the foyer with his jacket. “I’ve got to be getting home,” he told her. “I had a wonderful time tonight.”
Dawn kissed him, and smiled. “Me too. We must do it again soon.” Kevin opened the door, and she stepped out onto the porch with him. She closed it behind her, and pulled Kevin close for a better goodnight kiss than she was comfortable giving him in the house with Nick present.
Dawn reluctantly pulled her mouth away from Kevin’s, but kept on hugging him. “You got any plans for tomorrow?”
“Nope. Why don’t you come over? We can hang.”
“Sounds like a plan.” Dawn kissed him again. She brought her hand down, and patted him on the rump. “See you tomorrow.”
“You too.” Kevin gave her final peck, and let go of her. They pulled apart slowly. He made his way down the steps to the front walk. “Tomorrow.”
Dawn leaned against the post beside the stairs, watching Kevin as he walked away. He turned to give her a final wave goodnight before he passed out of sight.
Dawn went back into the house and looked in on Buffy and Nick in the living room. They were sitting on the sofa together, Buffy was laughing about something he’d just said. “I’m going up to my room,” she told them.
Buffy said “Goodnight” to Nick a little later, and went up to her room. She was a little surprised by the silence coming from Dawn’s room. She was usually ‘busy’ for a while after spending an evening with Kevin. She changed into her pyjamas, and went into the bathroom. She noticed the damp towels hanging on the rack. “Curiouser, and curiouser,” she told herself. “What were they up to?”
Dawn rang Kevin’s doorbell early the next afternoon. Mrs. Berman answered the door. “Hi Dawn! Kevin’s upstairs.” She turned away from the door as Dawn came inside. “Kevin! Dawn’s here!” she called up the stairs.
Kevin came skipping down the stairs. “Hey Dawn!” He gave her a quick kiss. “How ya been?”
“I been good,” said Dawn. “You?”
“Me too.” Kevin gave his mother a bit of a nervous look. “Why don’t we go up to my room?”
“Sure.” Dawn gave Mrs. Berman a nervous look too. “Sounds good.”
Kevin led Dawn upstairs, and down the hall to his room. As soon as his door was closed she grabbed him and pulled him to her for a much more satisfying kiss than the one they’d had in front of his mother. Kevin responded eagerly, and pushed her back against the door.
Kevin came up for air first. “I missed you.”
“I missed you too.” Dawn kissed him again.
Kevin’s hands were already up under her t-shirt. Dawn was glad that she’d gone without her bra today. She pushed her hands up under Kevin’s shirt, and along his back.
Dawn pulled her mouth away from Kevin’s. He moved his to her earlobe. She opened her eyes, and took a look around. “I like your room.”
It was about twice the size of hers, which still didn’t make it very big. Dawn kicked herself again for not taking the opportunity to move into Buffy’s old room when Buffy had moved into their mother’s. He had various aircraft posters stuck to his walls. A painting of a space shuttle launch was hung over the head of his bed. Dawn remembered Kevin starting it in Art class last year, but it hadn’t been finished before the end of the term. “I like the way your painting came out.”
Kevin stopped nibbling on her ear. “I’m glad you like it, but you’re supposed to be paying attention to what I’m doing now.”
“I can’t do both?” asked Dawn. She kept looking around, while Kevin doubled his efforts to keep her distracted. There were shelves full of books, and a desk that had his school books and an iMac sitting on it. A Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar hung above it.
Kevin’s efforts to distract her took a temporary lead over her curiosity when one of his hands started to slide down into the front of her pants. Dawn returned her mouth to his.
“Kevin?” called out Mrs. Berman from downstairs. He pulled his hands away from Dawn like he’d been burned.
Dawn stifled a laugh at the stricken look on Kevin’s face.
“Kevin? Do you and Dawn want something to eat?”
“Uh, no Mom! We’re not hungry!” called out Kevin.
Dawn slid her hand along Kevin’s crotch. “Speak for yourself,” she said quietly.
“Okay!” called Mrs. Berman. “I’m going to be out for a while! Don’t forget to lock up if you go out!”
“Okay Mom!”
Dawn moved over to take a closer look at Kevin’s desk. There was an open sketch book lying on it and she went to look at it. The open page had a pencil sketch of her on it. “Hey, this is pretty good.”
“No it’s not,” said Kevin.
“Sure it is,” said Dawn. “It is supposed to be me isn’t it?”
“Yeah.”
“Then it’s pretty good. Anytime I try to draw someone, they end up looking like some sort of Star Trek alien, or something out of one of Buffy’s books.” Dawn could see that the sketch book was about half full. “Can I take a look at the rest of it?”
Kevin hesitated for a moment. “Okay.”
“I don’t want to look if you don’t want me too,” said Dawn.
Kevin came up behind her and put his arms around her waist. “No. I want you to see them.” He kissed her neck.
Dawn flipped back a page, and saw that this was her too…at least the face was hers. The body… She glanced up at the swimsuit calendar, and saw the model who provided it. Kevin had left out the swimsuit.
“I did that before I knew what you really looked like,” said Kevin. “You’re prettier.”
Dawn kept flipping back through the pages. Pictures of her gave way to doodles, nude girls, pictures of airplanes, nude girls, fantasy landscapes, nude girls… “I’m seeing a theme here,” said Dawn.
Dawn stopped when she came to a drawing near the front of the book. Two girls (dressed) seen through a window. One blonde, with her hair pulled back in a pony tail behind her head, one with long dark hair, down around her shoulders. They were sitting on the floor in a hallway holding each other. Their faces were hidden. “Me and Buffy,” she whispered.
Kevin hugged Dawn tighter. “I did that the night after…the night after your mom died. It’s the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. You both looked so lost.”
“We were lost,” said Dawn. “It took a long time for us to find ourselves again.”
Kevin didn’t say anything. He just stood there, holding Dawn while she looked at his drawing. After a long time she started flipping pages again, looking at the rest of his sketches. When she was done, she quickly flipped back to where she’d started, the drawing of her. She looked at it for a moment, and then turned the page, exposing a blank sheet of paper.
Dawn turned herself around in Kevin’s arms. “You want to work with a live model?” she asked.
“Would you?” asked Kevin.
“I’d love to. One condition though.” Dawn kissed him and smiled. “You can’t be wearing any more clothes than I am.”
“Works for me,” said Kevin.
Dawn turned to the window and adjusted the blinds so that they still let in lots of sunlight, but no one could see in from outside. When she turned back she saw that Kevin had pulled off his t-shirt. She smiled and took off her own.
“Um, lie down on the bed,” said Kevin. “On your side.”
“Okay.” Dawn got on the bed, and lay on her side.
Kevin kicked off his shoes, and then he took off Dawn’s. He had her prop her head up on her hand, supported by her elbow on the bed. He considered her pose for a bit, and then had her sit up for a moment, and moved his pillow so that it was under her side, so her head was cocked at a more comfortable angle. “How does that feel?” he asked. “Think you can stay that way for half an hour?”
“Sure,” said Dawn. “No problem.”
“Good.” He moved her free arm so that it was partly covering her breasts, and brought her knee forward. He looked at her for a moment, and then he turned on the reading lamp on his bedside table. He moved the table a bit to get the shadows just right. “Perfect.”
His eye was drawn to the faint scars that ran across her side. He traced one with his finger. “What happened here?”
“I got cut by a guy who wanted to use my blood to destroy the universe,” said Dawn.
“You’re kidding.”
“Nope.”
“You have an interesting life,” said Kevin.
“Well, you know what the Chinese had to say about that.”
“Oh, yeah.” Kevin got his sketch pad, sat down in his desk chair, and started drawing.
“So, have you been drawing long?” asked Dawn.
“All my life,” said Kevin. “As long as I can remember anyway. I’ve always liked drawing. I had the biggest crayon collection of anyone in my kindergarten class.” He quickly sketched the basic outline of her body, the curve of her hip, her arm across her breasts.
They continued to talk about stuff as he drew. He told her jokes so he could capture the way she laughed. Eventually he reached the point of diminishing returns. Kevin had discovered long ago that he never actually finished anything. He was never satisfied with any of his drawings, but he always reached a point where he was making changes so small that no one else ever noticed them. At that point it was best to stop, and start something new. He got up from his chair, and presented the drawing to Dawn. “What do you think?”
Dawn sat up, and looked at the picture. “It’s beautiful. I don’t really look like that do I?”
Kevin kissed her. “No. You look a thousand times better.”
Dawn smiled. “Liar!”
“I swear,” said Kevin. “This drawing is but a pale imitation of the real thing.”
“You want to do another?” asked Dawn.
“Yes I do.” Kevin stood up, and started to undo his pants. “Get your pants off.”
Dawn stripped out of her pants as quickly as Kevin got out of his. He had pulled off his underwear at the same time, so she shed her panties. She started to pull off one of her socks too.
“Don’t!” said Kevin. She looked up at him. “I think that a girl wearing just socks is incredibly sexy.”
Dawn could see that Kevin was thinking that something was very sexy. His cock was standing erect and quivering. She pulled her sock back up. “You’ve seen a lot of girls wearing just socks?” she asked.
“Mostly just in my imagination,” said Kevin. “You’re the first real girl I’ve ever seen this way.”
Dawn lay down on the bed again. “So what pose do you want this time?”
“Not on the bed,” said Kevin. He pulled Dawn up, and then pulled off the bedspread. He laid it down on the floor, where the sunlight through the window was shining. He tossed the pillow from his bed down onto the floor too. “Lie down on your stomach.”
Dawn lay down. Kevin moved her around a bit, and adjusted the blinds to get just the right stripes of sunlight across her back and derriere. She lay with her head resting on her arms, crossed over the pillow. He had her pull her knees apart a bit, lift her legs up, and cross them at her ankles.
This time, when he came to draw her face, Kevin asked Dawn to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep. Dawn did so reluctantly. She’d spent much of the previous twenty minutes looking at Kevin’s penis. Still erect, and with a tiny rivulet of clear liquid running down from its tip. She found herself imagining licking up that liquid as she lay there with her eyes closed. She wondered what it tasted like.
Kevin watched the wistful smile cross Dawn’s face, and wondered what she was thinking about as he tried to capture it in his sketch. “A penny for your thoughts.”
Dawn opened her eyes again, and he saw that they were directed toward his crotch. She smiled and licked her lips. “Maybe later.”
Kevin went back to work on the way the diagonal stripes of light highlighted the contours of her bottom. When he was finished he sat down on the floor in front of her, and turned the pad around to show her the sketch.
Dawn sat up, and took the drawing. “This is really great.” She looked so relaxed and peaceful in it. “But now there’s something else I need to do.” She leaned forward and kissed him.
Dawn and Kevin’s tongues danced together in their mouths while they kissed. Dawn pulled her mouth away first, and stood up. She pulled Kevin to his feet too, and toward the bed.
Dawn sat in the middle of the bed, and pulled Kevin down beside her, facing the other way. She wrapped her arms around him, and resumed the kiss. After a long time she started to slide her mouth away from his, down across the bite mark on his neck, to his shoulder. They twisted themselves around so that Kevin’s mouth could track the same path down Dawn’s body as she made her way down his chest. They both lingered for a while, teasing each other’s nipples with their tongues before Dawn resumed her way downward. They lay together on their sides, as their lips and tongues slid over each other’s bodies. Dawn made her way across Kevin’s ribs to his belly, kissing and licking all the way. Kevin’s tongue moved down too, and was soon circling her belly button.
Dawn raised her eyes, and saw her goal. Kevin’s erect penis was quivering only a few inches away from her face. A fresh bead of his pre-cum was dangling from the tip, about to drip off onto the bed. Dawn reached out with her tongue, and licked it.
Kevin gasped, and twitched his hips away, which made his cock bounce off her nose. “God, Dawn!”
“Didn’t you like that?” asked Dawn as she savoured the warm saltiness on her tongue.
“No! I mean yes! I mean…you surprised me is all.”
“Want me to do it again?”
“Oh yes!” said Kevin.
Dawn slid herself a little farther down, so that more than just the tip of his cock was in range of her tongue. She reached out with it again, and slowly licked down the length of his shaft, from the tip to the base.
“Oh god!” said Kevin.
Dawn kissed the head of his penis with her lips, and she raised her leg, in a silent invitation to Kevin. She started to lick his cock again.
Kevin watched in amazement as Dawn’s pussy opened before his eyes, and her tongue ran down his cock again. He pressed his face forward between her legs, and ran his tongue along her sex, from her clit, down between the folds of her labia, across the opening of her vagina.
Dawn was so primed that she nearly came from just that one lick. Her legs clenched around Kevin’s head to keep him there, with his mouth on her pussy. Kevin kept licking, and fresh waves of pleasure washed through her, building quickly until she was coming.
When she could think again, Dawn turned her attention to Kevin’s cock. She pulled its tip into her mouth and started to suck on it, while her hand went around it. She slowly took him farther into her mouth while her hand pumped his shaft.
Kevin never stopped attending to her pussy. He started to circle her clitoris with his tongue, while he brought this fingers into play to probe her cunt. He put his lips around her clit and sucked at it while he continued to tease it with his tongue.
Dawn kept pumping at Kevin’s cock, sliding it in and out of her mouth, while her hand moved in a counter motion on its shaft. She felt his mouth come away from her pussy.
“Oh, god! I’m gonna come!” gasped Kevin.
Dawn responded by sucking his cock farther into her mouth, as far as she could without gagging on it. She felt him convulse, and warm semen sprayed against the back of her throat, again and again. She continued to suck, drawing it all into her mouth, before she swallowed it.
Dawn continued to lick and suck on Kevin’s cock as it softened. She gently squeezed his balls with her hand. He returned his attention to her pussy, and soon he was hardening again.
Kevin started to let his tongue explore wider territory. Moving away from Dawn’s clit, and all around her vulva, and the sensitive skin of her inner thighs. Sometimes he’d pull his mouth away from her entirely, to just blow air across her sex, or tickle her pubic hair with his tongue.
Dawn responded by teasing Kevin the same way. She stopped sucking on his dick, and let the tip of her tongue play with it. Sometimes she just teased the tip of his cock with quick flicks of her tongue, sometimes she ran it all the way down the shaft, to lick at his balls. She sucked first one, and then the other ball into her mouth.
Soon she couldn’t take Kevin’s teasing any more. “Oh god, make me come!” she whispered to him.
Kevin brought his mouth back to Dawn’s clit, and he thrust his fingers into her pussy. She grabbed his cock with her hand, and pulled it into her mouth. They sucked, thrust, and stroked each other in harmony. Dawn started to come as Kevin exploded into her mouth.
Kevin’s groan against her pussy was better than the vibrator in her dildo, and it propelled Dawn into the most intense orgasm she had ever experienced, but her cry of pleasure was muffled by Kevin’s cock in her mouth. She felt it pulsing as it shot its load of semen into her. Both of their orgasms seemed to keep going forever. Kevin’s cock continued to pulse in Dawn’s mouth, long after it had emptied itself of his semen.
They both lay still together for a long time, but then Kevin’s tongue started to move again, lapping up the juices still flowing from Dawn’s pussy. She put her tongue to work too, cleaning all traces of semen from his cock. Dawn sat up and swung herself around when they were done, so she could lay down face to face with him. She could taste herself on his lips when she kissed him. She slid her still socked foot up along his calf and thigh until her leg was up over his hip and wiggled herself closer to him, until she felt his cock against her sex. They lay together like that, with neither of them saying anything.
Dawn broke their silence. “That was the most…”
“…amazing thing,” they finished together.
Dawn kissed Kevin gently on the lips. “It was the best!” They lay together, kissing, and cuddling, until they heard the garage door opening.
“Uh-oh,” said Kevin. “Sounds like Mom’s back.” They quickly rolled off the bed, and scrambled for their clothes.
Once they were dressed they paused to give each other a quick visual inspection to make sure there were no telltale signs remaining of their activities. There were none beyond their dishevelled hair, and the twinkle in their eyes. They got down the stairs before Mrs. Berman came in the front door with her hands full of grocery bags.
Kevin stepped forward to relieve his mother of her burdens. “Here, let me help you with those.”
“Thank you dear,” said his mother. “There’s still more in the car.”
Dawn stayed over for dinner at Kevin’s, and then they both headed out to meet Janice and Dave at the Bronze. They stopped off at Dawn’s so she could change her clothes. They found Buffy, Willow, Xander and Anya all sitting around the research table in the living room, with their noses in ancient books.
“Something up?” asked Dawn.
Anya looked up from her book. “Not really. It’s just that we don’t have dates for Saturday night.” She looked at Kevin. “You must be Dawn’s new boyfriend.”
“Oh, yeah,” said Dawn. “Kevin, this is Anya. Anya, Kevin.”
Kevin held out his hand to Anya. “Nice to meet you.”
“So are you and Dawn having sex together?” asked Anya.
“ANYA!” shouted Buffy, Willow, Xander and Dawn while Kevin blushed.
“What?” asked Anya. “She’s a healthy nubile girl, and he looks healthy too. They should be wanting to have sex together!”
Dawn grabbed Kevin’s arm and pulled him toward the stairs. “Just ignore her,” she told Kevin. “We’re going up to my room,” she told the others.
“To have sex?” asked Anya.
“No!” said Dawn. She pulled Kevin up the stairs, and into her room.
“What’s with her?” asked Kevin.
“Anya is…Anya,” said Dawn. “She tends to say whatever is on her mind, and her mind is usually on sex…or money. Once you get used to that, she’s actually a very nice person.” She turned to her closet, opened the door, and started looking through it. “So, what should I wear?”
Kevin stepped up behind her and put his hands on her waist. “I’m sure you’ll be beautiful, no matter what you pick.” He pulled her hair back so he could kiss her neck.
“Cut it out, and help me choose something!” said Dawn.
“Well, I really liked that red lace bra,” said Kevin. He slid his hands around onto her stomach.
“Okay, but I need something else to wear over it,” said Dawn.
“Then how am I to be able to see it?” asked Kevin. He nibbled on her ear.
Dawn giggled. “Cut it out!” She flipped past items in her closet and selected a translucent red tunic. “How about if it’s under this?”
Kevin’s hands slid up onto her breasts. “Oh, that would be nice.” He pressed the bulge in his pants against her rump.
“Kevin!” Dawn turned herself around in his arms, and kissed him. “Now you have to get out of here so I can change.”
Kevin kept one arm around her back, and brought the other hand back to her breast. He slowly circled a finger around her nipple. “Why? It’s not like I haven’t seen every square inch of your body now.” He kissed her again.
“Three reasons,” said Dawn. “One:” She kissed him. “We’re supposed to be meeting up with Janice and Dave at nine, and if you stay in here, we’ll be very late.”
“They’re never on time,” said Kevin.
“Two:” She kissed him again. “Buffy…” Kiss. “…Xander…” Kiss. “…Willow…” Kiss. “…and Anya are right downstairs. Buffy hears pretty much everything that happens in this house, and if we keep it up we’ll start making enough noise that the others will hear us too.”
“You mean Buffy…”
“Just heard you say that you’ve seen me naked?” asked Dawn. “Good chance she did, if someone down there wasn’t making enough noise to cover it.
“The third reason is that I told Anya that we weren’t coming up here to have sex, and if you don’t stop what you’re doing in about ten seconds you’ll make a liar out of me.”
“Ten seconds?” asked Kevin.
“Mmm, nine…” Kiss. “…eight…” Kiss. “…seven…” Kiss. “…six…” Kiss. “…five…” Kiss. “…four…” Kiss. “…three…” Kiss. “…two…” Kiss. “…one…”
Kevin let go of Dawn, pulled his hand off her breast, and took a step back. “Wouldn’t want you to be a liar.”
Dawn smiled and pulled off her t-shirt. “Now get out of here.”
“Okay.” Kevin leaned down to place a kiss on each of her nipples. “See you later.” He backed into the alcove outside Dawn’s room, not taking his eyes off her until she closed the door. He stepped out into the hall and sat at the top of the stairs to wait.
After a moment Kevin realized that he had to pee. He got up, and moved down the hall into the bathroom. He closed and locked the door, lifted the seat on the toilet, and pulled out his penis. It was so stiff that he couldn’t get it pointed down at the toilet bowl. He closed his eyes, and started going over multiplication tables in his mind, until it relaxed.
Dawn closed the door in front of Kevin, and went over to her dresser. She opened her underwear drawer and pulled out the red lace bra, and panties. She tossed them onto her bed, and pulled off her jeans and the plain cotton panties she had been wearing. She stood for a moment in just her socks, and considered inviting Kevin back in. “Janice and Dave, everyone downstairs, not a liar,” she reminded herself, and went to her closet to select the pants she wanted to wear. She picked the low-rider jeans she had bought while under the influence of R.J.’s jacket.
Dawn put on her panties, bra, jeans and tunic, and checked herself out in her mirror. The bra was barely visible through the tunic, darker red across her breasts. She thought she looked hot, and hoped Kevin would agree.
Dawn went out into the hall, and was little disappointed that Kevin wasn’t there waiting for her. She figured out where he’d gone when she heard the toilet flush, and then the sound of water running in the sink.
Kevin appeared shortly, and stopped when he saw her. “You look good enough to eat,” he told her.
Dawn did a pirouette in the hall to let him see her from all angles. “You think so?”
“Definitely!” Kevin put his arms around her, and nibbled on her ear. “Delicious.”
“We better be going,” said Dawn. She led Kevin back down the stairs, and grabbed her jacket off the hook in the foyer. She put it on before going back into the living room.
“We’re going to the Bronze,” she told Buffy.
“Okay,” said Buffy. “Keep your eyes open. That vamp that attacked you guys a couple of weeks ago seemed to be the start of a new trend. They’re getting bolder for some reason, but so far we haven’t been able to figure out why. Be home by midnight.”
Kevin and Dawn walked away from her house, with their arms around each other’s waists. Kevin thought he saw a flicker of movement out of the corner of his eye, but when he turned his head to look, there was nothing there. He decided that Buffy’s warning was making him paranoid.
They kept walking together, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was following them. Dawn seemed to sense it too. She kept suddenly looking behind them.
“Okay, either we’ve both gotten really paranoid, or there’s something following us,” said Kevin eventually.
“You think?” asked Dawn. “Maybe my paranoia is contagious.”
“Or you caught it from me,” said Kevin. “I thought I saw something as soon as we left your house.”
“I’ve got an idea,” said Dawn. They were coming up to the corner where they’d be turning toward the Bronze. “Follow me.”
As soon as they passed the edge of the store on the corner Dawn started to run. Ten yards down the street was a dark alcove for the entrance to the closed store. She pulled Kevin into it. “Shh,” she told him.
They hid in the shadows of the doorway, waiting. Dawn wasn’t sure that attempting to ambush whatever was following them was such a good idea, but there was a fair amount of pedestrian traffic still on the streets, so she didn’t think that they were really in any danger. She reached into her purse to make sure that her cross, holy water and stake were handy, though.
They heard footsteps rapidly coming toward them. Kevin heard whatever was following them mutter “Bloody hell!” under its breath, and then he saw a man with bleached white hair go rushing past them. What happened next really surprised him.
Dawn stepped out of their alcove. “Spike? Why the hell are you following us?”
The man—‘Spike’ evidently—stopped and turned around. “What? Nibblet? What are you doing here? Following you? What makes you think I’ve been following you?”
“You’ve been behind us ever since we left the house,” said Dawn. “You’re getting sloppy. Why are you following us?”
“Okay, I was following you. I saw you going out, and I wanted to make sure that you were safe.” Spike looked at Kevin. “You and your friend here. Lots of nasties around.”
“You aren’t going back to stalking Buffy again are you?” asked Dawn.
“No!” said Spike. “No…I was just on my way to talk to her. Tell her the latest news from my…” He looked at Kevin. “…relatives.”
“You know why the vamps are getting stirred up?” asked Dawn. Spike looked at Kevin and raised his eyebrow. “It’s okay, you can talk in front of Kevin. He knows.”
Kevin cleared his throat.
“Oh!” said Dawn. “Kevin, this is Spike. He…used to be a friend.”
Kevin could see that Spike was stung by that characterization. He decided not to offer to shake Spike’s hand. He just nodded. “Hi.”
“Hullo,” said Spike.
“So, what has the vamps stirred up?” asked Dawn.
“Don’t know,” said Spike. “I’m even less popular with the old crowd than I used to be. Clem’s just about the only one who’ll talk to me, and no one tells him much of anything either, these days. Being friends with the Slayer really messes up a demon’s social life.”
“Demon?” asked Kevin.
“Oh, Spike’s a vampire,” said Dawn.
Kevin’s eyes widened. “But…”
“It’s okay,” said Dawn. “Spike is…unique. He won’t kill you. He’s got this government chip in his head that keeps him from hurting people.”
Spike looked at Kevin carefully. “You hurt the Nibblet, and I might just make an exception.”
“I think you’ll have to get in line behind Buffy and Xander,” said Kevin.
“That’s okay,” said Spike. “They won’t kill you.” His face transformed, and he bared his fangs.
“You won’t either, and none of you will have reason to hurt him. Now go away, Spike.” Dawn grabbed Kevin’s arm and pulled him toward the Bronze. Spike stayed where he was, watching them for a while before he turned away, and headed back toward Buffy’s house.
“So when you said he used to be a friend, did you mean before he became a vampire?” asked Kevin.
“No. Spike’s been a vampire for 120 years,” said Dawn. “Spike is…Spike. A couple of years ago there was this…thing that was after me in particular, and Spike kinda became my bodyguard when Buffy couldn’t be there. And he and Buffy…it’s complicated. We both kinda forgot that he was a vampire for a while. Enough about Spike.” Dawn kissed Kevin. “I want to have fun tonight.”
“You always want to have fun,” said Kevin.
They reached the entrance to the Bronze, and Kevin paid the cover for both of them. There was a live band playing tonight, some local group that Dawn hadn’t heard of. The place was starting to fill up already though, they had to take a table in a back corner, without a good view of the stage.
Dawn took off her jacket, and hung it on the back of her chair. She was soon noticing that Kevin wasn’t the only guy in the place who was giving her appreciative looks, and some of the girls were giving Dawn jealous looks, and making their boyfriends look elsewhere.
Kevin was right about Dave and Janice. They didn’t show up until half an hour later. The band tonight was louder than it was good, but that didn’t stop them from dancing. They sat together talking in the lulls between the music.
Dave and Kevin went off together to get them all fresh drinks during one break between sets. Janice leaned toward Dawn as soon as they were out of earshot. “So, how far have you and Kevin gone?”
Dawn pushed her away. “That is so not your business!”
Janice grinned. “That far, eh? Is he good?”
“Janice!”
“Come on! We can tell each other anything. What are best friends for?”
“How far have you gone with Dave?” asked Dawn.
Janice looked around to make sure no one was listening. She leaned close to Dawn. “I let him feel my tits last night,” she whispered.
“Is that all?” escaped from Dawn’s mouth before she could stop it.
Janice’s eyes widened. “You mean you and Kevin…?” Dawn knew she was trapped. She blushed furiously. “Come on! Fess up, Summers,” said Janice. “What have you been up to with Kevin?”
Dawn blushed even more. “We made it to third last night…or maybe a week ago, depending on your definition.” She decided to leave out how she and Kevin had spent the afternoon.
“How was it?” asked Janice.
“It was a blast!” said Dawn. “Kevin is so wonderful! He has very talented fingers!”
“You mean he’s…?”
“Oh yeah!” said Dawn.
Dave and Kevin arrived back with their drinks. Dawn could see that Kevin had a worried look on his face. “What are you girls whispering about?” asked Dave.
“You,” said Janice. “Dawn thinks you have a very nice butt.”
“Janice!” Dawn elbowed her friend. “I said no such thing!”
“You don’t think he has a nice butt?”
“No!” said Dawn. “I mean yes…I don’t know what I mean.”
“What do you think of Dave’s butt?” asked Kevin.
“I think it’s the second best butt at this table,” said Dawn. “But what’s got you looking so worried?”
“Oh…um, it’s just a couple of guys over at the bar.” Kevin leaned close and whispered into Dawn’s ear. “They don’t have reflections.” He nodded toward a couple of guys sitting together, and nursing a couple of beers. They appeared to be a couple of college students, about twenty years old. Something about them said that they thought they were cooler than anyone else in the room. They looked nice, one in a denim jacket, and the other in leather. Their hair had an unkempt ‘we’re too cool to worry about our hair’ look to it…which was common among vamps who couldn’t see what their hair looked like in a mirror.
Dawn looked around and found one of the convex mirrors that hung around the club which let the bartenders see pretty much every corner of the Bronze. They also meant that you could see the bar in a mirror from pretty much anywhere too. Sure enough the mirror showed two empty bar stools.
Dawn reached into her purse for her cell phone.
“What’s up?” asked Dave.
“Nothing,” said Dawn as she hit her home speed dial number. Xander answered the phone on the third ring. “Xand, I need to talk with Buffy.”
“Sure,” said Xander. Dawn heard a little muffled conversation.
Buffy came onto the phone a couple of seconds later. “What’s up Dawn?”
Dawn glanced at Dave. “A couple of those guys you’ve been looking for are in the Bronze.”
“Vampires?” asked Buffy.
“Yep,” said Dawn. “Two of them.”
“We’ll be there in five minutes,” said Buffy. “Don’t do anything till we get there.”
Dawn hung up and put her phone back into her purse. She checked her other supplies: cross, holy water, stake. The last item was definitely a last resort. Dawn knew that if she ever tried to stake a vamp on her own, Buffy would kill her, if the vamp didn’t. She took out the cross and the holy water. She passed the cross under the table to Kevin. “The cavalry’s on its way.”
“What do we do?” asked Kevin.
“We wait, and we watch,” said Dawn. She shifted her seat around a little so she could keep an eye on the bar, without being too obvious about it.
“What’s going on?” asked Dave.
“Nothing,” said Dawn.
“Don’t ‘nothing’ me Summers,” said Dave. “There’s something happening here, and it involves that weird sister of yours.”
“Buffy’s not weird!” said Dawn.
“Come off it!” said Dave. “Everyone in the school knows: ‘When things get weird, go get Buffy!’ Something spooked Kevin, and you phoned your sister. What’s up?”
Dawn took a deep breath. ‘When in doubt, tell the truth.’ she told herself. “Kevin spotted a couple of vampires at the bar.”
“Fine!” said Dave. “Don’t tell me!” but Dawn could see that Janice’s eyes had gone wide. She started to look around.
“Cut it out!” said Dawn. “We’re trying to remain inconspicuous here.” She took a sip from her drink.
“You guys are serious!” said Dave.
“Yes!” said Dawn. “That really is a vampire bite on Kevin’s neck. You may have noticed that Janice has some scars on her neck too. So we sit still, and pretend that nothing’s happening until help gets here… Damn!”
A couple of girls had approached the vampires at the bar, and had been talking with them for a minute. The vamps had just drained their beers. It looked like they were planning to leave, and take these two girls with them as snacks. They got up off their stools.
The girls turned, and Dawn saw their faces for the first time. She was tempted for a moment to just let the vamps have them. It was Kirsty and Nancy, one of her hangers on. “Buffy, where are you?” Dawn asked under her breath.
The vamp in the leather jacket slid its arm around Kirsty’s waist, and whispered something in her ear. It started to pull her toward the hallway that led to the exit into the alley behind the Bronze. She didn’t seem to be objecting. The other vampire was following with Nancy.
The vamps took Kirsty and Nancy right past the table that Dawn and her friends were sitting at. Dawn got very interested in her drink as they passed.
“What do we do?” asked Kevin.
“Buffy’s gonna kill me!” said Dawn. “Come on.” She got up from her seat and pulled on her jacket. “Stay here,” she told Janice and Dave. “Tell Buffy where we went.” She and Kevin followed the vampires and their meal down the hallway.
The bouncer on the front door of the Bronze saw Buffy and Spike running toward him. He opened the door to let them in. They ran past without stopping.
“Hey!” called out the guy collecting the cover fee.
The bouncer looked at him. “You’re new here. When she’s in a hurry, you just let her in.”
Buffy looked around the Bronze, and saw Janice waving to her. She cut across the dance floor to get to her table. “Where’s Dawn?”
“She and Kevin followed them out the back,” said Janice.
“I’m gonna kill her!” said Buffy.
Dawn opened the back door to the Bronze as quietly as she could. She peeked out into the alley. It was dark, the only light was filtering in from street lights at the far end.
“I thought you said your car was back here?” Dawn heard Kirsty asking.
“Yeah, well we lied,” said one of the vampires.
Kirsty and Nancy screamed.
Dawn reached into her purse for her stake, and ran toward the sound. She could hear Kevin was right behind her. She saw the two vampires, pressing Kirsty and Nancy up against the alley wall, their mouths on the girls’ necks. She knew her best chance was surprise, and didn’t slow down. She kept going, full speed. She drove her stake into the back of one of the vampires, using the full momentum of her body to drive it between its ribs, and into its heart.
Nancy slumped to the ground. She seemed to be unconscious. Dawn hoped she wasn’t dead, but she had other worries. The other vampire had released Kirsty, and turned toward Dawn. It lashed out at her.
Dawn got her arm up quickly enough to block the blow, but pain flashed through her arm. It made her drop her holy water spray bottle. The vampire started to close on her.
The vampire suddenly hissed, and stepped back. Kevin had come up behind Dawn and was holding his cross over her shoulder. “Back off!”
The vampire looked at the cross for a moment, but it clearly wasn’t very intimidated by it. Kevin could see that it was going to pounce, but then it just looked very surprised, and then it was gone. Buffy was standing behind where it had been, with a stake in her hand.
Kevin turned his attention to Dawn. “Are you alright?”
Dawn was rubbing her arm where the vampire had hit her. “I think so. Nothing’s broken, but I’m going to have a hell of a bruise.” Her whole arm felt numb. She flexed her fingers experimentally, and was a little surprised that they still seemed to be working. The feeling was slowly returning to her arm. The feeling was mostly hurt.
Dawn looked at Nancy and Kirsty, who were both lying on the ground. “What about them?”
Spike looked down at the two girls, and their bloody necks. “They’re still alive, but we better stop the bleeding.”
Dawn’s purse once again supplied a Kotex pad bandage. Spike ripped it in half, and held one of the pieces against Kirsty’s neck wound, while Kevin did the same for Nancy. Dawn used her phone to call 911. These vamps were experienced and had punctured the jugular veins of both girls. They both needed immediate medical care.
Kevin looked at the discarded Kotex wrapper on the ground while they waited for the ambulance to arrive. “Is that what you used on me?”
“Hey, they’re designed to absorb blood,” said Dawn.
Janice and Dave had followed Spike and Buffy out of the Bronze, and both were standing looking on, wide eyed. Buffy sent them down to the end of the alley to wait for the ambulance, and to direct it in the right direction when it arrived. She turned back to Dawn. “What possessed you to go after two vampires?”
“I couldn’t let them just kill Nancy,” said Dawn. “I had to do something. I didn’t know if you’d get here in time or not.”
“They’re friends of yours?” asked Buffy.
“No!” said Dawn. She reconsidered for a bit. “Nancy’s okay, when Kirsty’s not around… If they had just taken Kirsty, I probably would have waited for you.”
Buffy stood and looked at Dawn for a moment. A wave of pride washed through her. She could hear the lie in Dawn’s voice. Dawn couldn’t idly stand by, while people were in danger, even people like this Kirsty girl. Buffy had heard the name before, and knew that Dawn didn’t like her. From what she had heard Dawn say about her, Buffy figured that Kirsty was a lot like Cordelia Chase, but even Cordy had kinda turned out to be an okay person.
Buffy’s pride in her sister was quickly replaced by concern. Dawn’s heroic impulses could get her killed. “You knew I was coming. You should have waited.”
“I didn’t wait, because I knew you were coming,” said Dawn. “I only had to buy a few seconds. Those seconds could save lives.”
“And what if I’d gotten held up?” asked Buffy.
“It was worth the risk,” said Dawn.
Buffy and Dawn stood looking at one another, until the flashing lights of the ambulance appeared at the alley entrance. “We’ll talk later,” said Buffy.
Dave and Janice brought the paramedics down the alley, and Kevin and Spike surrendered the care of the girls over to them. Kevin looked around for something to wipe the blood off his hands, while Spike licked Kirsty’s blood off his own. Everyone looked disgusted, when they saw him doing it.
Dawn pulled some tissues from her purse and handed them to Kevin. “Here, you can use these.”
“Thanks.” Kevin took the tissues, and started to wipe his hands. The blood was starting to dry, and get sticky already. Shreds of tissue tore off and stuck to his hands.
Nancy and Kirsty were loaded onto gurneys, and taken back to the ambulance. They all watched as it disappeared into the night. Buffy turned to Dawn. “We’re going home.”
“But—”
“No!” said Buffy. “Spike, make sure Kevin gets home safe.” She took hold of Dawn’s arm, and pulled her away down the alley.
Kevin wanted to object, but he decided that this wasn’t the time. “Bye Dawn!” he called after her. “I’ll call you!”
“Bye!” called Dawn as Buffy dragged her out of sight.
Kevin and Spike stood looking at each other for a moment. “So, where do you live?” asked Spike.
Buffy and Dawn walked home in silence. They stopped on the porch before going into the house. They just stood for a moment looking at each other.
“Dawn, you did a right thing tonight,” said Buffy.
“ ‘A’ right thing?” asked Dawn.
“Yeah,” said Buffy. “Maybe not the best thing you could have done, but it was a right thing. I just don’t like you putting yourself in danger, even when it’s for a good reason. You understand that don’t you?”
“I understand,” said Dawn. “What could I have done better?”
“I’ll leave the second guessing to you,” said Buffy. “You were the girl on the spot. You had a few seconds to make up your mind, and you did it. You took action, and you maybe saved some lives because of it. I’m proud of you.”
“Then why did you drag me back home?” asked Dawn.
“Because you risked your life, and Kevin’s to do it,” said Buffy. “I want you to think about that.” She grinned. “If I left you with Kevin, I don’t think that’s what would be on your mind.” She turned away, and opened the door.
Dawn was in her room a little later when her phone rang. She got it out of her purse, and saw that it was Kevin calling. “Hi Kevin, did Spike get you home okay?”
“Yeah,” said Kevin. “I hope Buffy wasn’t too mad at you.”
“She wasn’t mad,” said Dawn. “She was worried, about both of us. I shouldn’t have taken you into that alley.”
“You didn’t take me,” said Kevin. “I came.”
“You came because I went,” said Dawn. “You had no idea what you were getting into.”
“I knew we were going after two vampires.”
“But you don’t know what that means,” said Dawn. “If Buffy hadn’t arrived when she did, we could have died.”
“Hey, you took out the first one, with no problems,” said Kevin. “We could have taken the other one too.”
“I staked the first one before it knew I was there,” said Dawn. “The other vamp could have taken us apart. The one that attacked us a couple of weeks ago was new. It was easy to scare off. These guys tonight were experienced. If Buffy hadn’t arrived when she did, it would have killed us.”
“I had the cross,” said Kevin.
“A cross might scare a newbie away,” said Dawn. “With an experienced vampire it will just make it take a step back, and think for a second or two before it kills you. That guy tonight was done thinking when Buffy staked it. A really experienced vampire won’t even think for a second or two. It’ll just kill you, cross or no cross.”
“So we shouldn’t have tried to save Kirsty and Nancy?” asked Kevin.
“That’s not what I’m saying,” said Dawn. “I mean that I shouldn’t have let you come with me, without really knowing how dangerous it was.”
“I don’t care how dangerous it was,” said Kevin. “I couldn’t let you go alone.”
“And that’s why I shouldn’t have gone without you knowing what you were getting into. I knew you’d follow me no matter what. That’s one of the reasons why I love you.”
Kevin stopped for a long time. “You love me?”
“Um…yeah,” said Dawn. “That just came out…but it’s true. I love you.”
“I love you too,” said Kevin. Dawn felt a warm tingle pass through her as she heard Kevin’s words. “I’m really sorry we had to cut this evening off short.”
“Me too,” said Dawn.
“Are you alone?” asked Kevin.
“I’m in my room,” said Dawn. “Buffy and Willow are downstairs.”
“Hmm…” said Kevin. “Are you still wearing that outfit you had on tonight?”
Dawn opened her mouth to tell Kevin that she’d changed into a more comfortable sweat pants, and t-shirt, but something in his voice made her change her mind. “Yeah…?”
“Mmm…I wish I was kissing you right now,” said Kevin.
“Me too,” said Dawn. “What else do you wish you were doing?”
“I’m nibbling on your earlobe,” said Kevin.
Dawn giggled. “I love when you do that. I’m running my hands up under your t-shirt, tickling your ribs.”
“I’m running my hands around your hips, just above the top of your pants, under that top you’re wearing,” said Kevin. “Your skin is wonderfully smooth and warm.”
“Your’s too.” Dawn lay down on her bed. “I’m pulling your t-shirt off.”
“God, I love the way your hands touch me,” said Kevin. “I’m sliding mine up under your top, to your breasts. They feel wonderful.”
Dawn slid her free hand up under her t-shirt, and caressed her breast with it. “It feels wonderful. I’m kissing you, feeling your tongue in my mouth.”
“I lift your top up over your head,” said Kevin. “I pull back a bit to see that lace bra you’re wearing, holding your tits. I want to hold them the way it does.”
“Do it,” said Dawn.
“Hmm…I reach around behind your back, and unhook your bra. I pull it free, but I still just sit back looking at how beautiful you are.”
Dawn sat up long enough to pull off her t-shirt. She lay back down. “I want to feel you. I pull your mouth down onto my breast.” She ran her fingers around her erect nipples.
“God, you taste wonderful,” said Kevin. “I suck your nipple into my mouth, and nibble on it.”
Dawn pinched her nipple. “Ahh…Oh that feels good.”
“Mmm…I lick your breast, and start moving down, across your stomach. I start to circle my tongue around your belly button while I undo the top button on your pants.”
“Oh, don’t stop,” said Dawn.
“I unzip your pants, and pull them down,” said Kevin. “I see your panties. They’re…um…?”
“Red lace, like my bra.”
“Of course,” said Kevin. “I keep pulling your pants down, taking them right off you. You keep your socks though.” Dawn could hear the smile in his voice.
Dawn lifted her hips up off the bed, and pushed her sweat pants down. She kicked them free, and was soon lying on her bed wearing just her socks.
“I keep on kissing your stomach, and I slide my hand up along the inside of your thigh,” said Kevin. “I start to rub against your panties. Are they wet?”
“Oh yes!” said Dawn “Very.” She slid her fingers across her pussy, feeling the moisture there.
“Mmm…I pull your panties aside, and touch you. Running my fingers along your pussy. I start to rub your clit with my thumb,” said Kevin.
Dawn rubbed her clit. “God that feels good,” she gasped. “Um, I lift up my legs, and pull my panties off.”
“You keep your legs up,” said Kevin. “I’m looking at your beautiful pussy, open in front of me. It looks good enough to eat.”
“Eat it!” said Dawn. She pushed her fingers into her cunt. “Eat me!”
“God you’re delicious!” said Kevin. “Sweet, and salty.”
“Oh yeah!” said Dawn. She kept thrusting her fingers into herself as she listened to Kevin’s heavy breathing on the phone. Then she heard a loud groan. “Kevin, did you just come?”
“Yeah,” said Kevin. “Sorry.”
“Never be sorry,” said Dawn. “I’m glad.”
“But you didn’t.”
Dawn’s fingers were still busy in her pussy. “I haven’t yet, but we’re not finished, are we? There must be something else you want to do. It’s make believe. We can do anything.”
“Anything?” asked Kevin.
“Anything,” said Dawn.
“In that case…I’m still eating your pussy. I bring my hand into play, and slide a couple of fingers into your wet cunt. It feels good, the warm, wetness all around them. I keep my fingers in you, and start to kiss my way back up your stomach, your belly button, your breasts, your chest. All the way back to your wonderful mouth.”
“I push you over onto your back,” said Dawn. “I sit straddling you while I kiss you. I start to work my way down across your chest and stomach. I undo your belt, and unzip your pants. I slide my hand into your shorts, and grab your cock. Is it hard?”
“Oh yeah!” said Kevin. “It’s hard again.”
“Hmm…I stroke it with my hand a couple of times, and then I let go of it, so I can finish pulling your pants off. Once that’s done, I come back to it, and suck it into my mouth. Your cock tastes delicious too.”
Dawn sat up in her bed, and pulled open the drawer of her bedside table. She took out her dildo, while she kept talking on the phone. “Ummm, your cock tastes so good, I think I could suck on it all day, but there’s something else I want to do with it. I want it inside me.”
“Oh Dawn!” said Kevin.
“You’re still lying on your back,” said Dawn. “I start to kiss my way up along your chest again. I slide my tongue into your mouth as I straddle you. I rub my cunt against your cock.” She lay back down, and slid the dildo over her pussy.
Dawn slid the tip of the dildo between the lips of her pussy. “I grab your cock in my hand, and guide its tip to the entrance to my cunt.” She pressed the dildo into her. “I pull you inside me.”
“God that feels wonderful,” said Kevin. “You are so beautiful, over me like that. I slide my hands up over your breasts, and watch your face.”
Dawn turned on the dildo. “Oh…oh…yes!” she said in time with its throbbing. “Oh, yes. I’m moving, rocking over you, riding your amazing cock… Aah…aah…” she flipped the dildo over to high just as she was about to come. “AAAHH!”
Dawn heard Kevin groaning as he came again too. She smiled, turned off the dildo, and pulled it out. “That was really good,” she told Kevin. “Now I think we should lie and cuddle together for a while.”
Dawn lay back in her bed, just listening to Kevin breath. She stayed like that, until her phone started to beep. “Damn, my battery’s dying. I guess I better hang up. See you tomorrow?”
“Sure,” said Kevin. “You coming over here again?”
“Why don’t you come here,” said Dawn. “There’s something I want to show you. Come by after lunch.”
“Okay,” said Kevin. “See you then. I love you.”
“I love you too,” said Dawn. “Bye.”
“Bye.”
Dawn put her phone into its charger, got her night-shirt out of her closet, and went to the bathroom to get cleaned up before she went to sleep.
