Xander's Cabin
January 13^th, 2006
Late Afternoon

What a way to celebrate a birthday! The three of us woke up fairly early the next morning, and, after cuddling a bit, decided to get dressed and get some breakfast. We had decided last night to spend the day together, so we could get to know Parvati, and she could get to know us, before we went back to the cabin and started the sweaty portion of the evening.

That didn't stop us from sleeping in the nude, and both Harmony and I admired Parvati's nude body, and Parvati asked Harmony to trim her lush curls into the small patch like Harmony has. I honestly think that was more intimate than if the two of them had sex. Harmony was very interested when she saw that Parvati had a ring through her lower lips, and I asked,

“Considering get one yourself Harmony?”

“Hmm, maybe, it looks so sexy, and Cordy would love running her tongue over it.”

Parvati looked up, “Who's Cordy? Your girlfriend?”

Harmony smiled, “Not exactly, or, not at the moment. She's my best friend, and Xander's ex-girlfriend. They broke up years ago, and Cordy is staying at my house now. We aren't dating or anything, but we do play together at times.”

Parvati nodded, “Sort of like Tania and I, or me and Lavender back in school, we like both guys and girls, but if we are aren't dating anybody... well, friends help each other out, right?”

“Of course, that's what friends are for!” Harmony grinned, “And Xander really likes it when I tell him some of the things the two of us do when we are alone, together.”

Parvati laughed, “Dean was the same way, I used to really get him worked up telling him about the nights that Lavender and I would use our mouths and toys on each other. Especially when Lavender came over and joined us one night.”

I think I had met Lavender, she was working in Harry's office when I had to stop in to coordinate some things between our organizations, but I wanted to make sure. “Are you talking about Lavender Brown? Blonde, about Harmony's height, nice curves?” 'And an ass I wanted to spank for days, but not going to mention that right now.'

Parvati looked surprised, “Yeah, that's her alright. Do you know her?”

I shook my head, “No, not really, Harry introduced me to her in passing when I had to stop by his office. Didn't talk to her or anything.”

Neither Parvati or Harmony said anything for a few minutes, because when you are shaving such a sensitive area you need to stay as still as possible. That was a lesson I learned early on when I was shaving Tara and she jerked suddenly. Not a good situation, but fortunately we got it healed quickly.

When Harmony was finished, and pulled out a pocket mirror for Parvati to see her work, Parvati smiled and pulled Harmony into a kiss. When she broke the kiss, she looked over at me again, and her eyes widened, like she'd just realized something.

“Oh Merlin!” She laughed, “You're the eye-patch guy that Lavender has the crush on!”

“Wha? Lavender has a crush? How did that happen? I didn't say two words to her!”

Harmony giggled, “It's the scruffy hero look Xander, all the chicks dig it!”

Parvati nodded, “Actually, that was pretty much was Lavender said, after she stopped snogging me and we got our clothes off. She told me that this absolutely gorgeous guy with an eye-patch came to see Harry, and he just pressed all her buttons.”

Harmony smirked, “So it was the eye-patch that got her? Or was it the way his ass looks in his jeans that got her attention?”

Parvati just grinned at Harmony, and the two of them snickered in unison.

I shook my head, smothering a grin. I know I should be offended at them discussing me like a piece of meat, but I'm not that hypocritical. And besides, knowing that a gorgeous girl finds you attractive, what guy wouldn't enjoy the ego boost?

After Parvati rinsed off, and Harmony brushed her teeth, we headed back to the bed. There was surprisingly little conversation about the sleeping arrangements. I climbed into the middle of the bed, and Harmony curled against me on my left side, and Parvati on my right. After shifting around a bit, the three of us managed to get comfortable. Or at least as comfortable as a guy can be when he is naked in bed with two equally naked gorgeous girls, one of whom he spend the afternoon enjoying wild monkey sex with. I'm not sure how comfortable the girls were, but they seemed to cuddle in nicely and fall asleep easily. I stayed awake for a while, thinking about the day, and wondering if Cordy would really be as open to things as Harmony believed? I somehow doubted it, but still, if she was....

I fell asleep still considering the possibilities.

X X X X X

The alarm went off far too early the next morning, and, after starting the in-cabin coffee maker, I made it to the bathroom to take care of things. By the time I came out, washing my hands (I didn't always, but, hey, two sexy girls in the room, you don't want to gross them out!), Harmony and Parvati were sitting up in bed and stretching nicely. Yeah, if you don't think my eye was locked on their breasts when they had their arms stretched over their heads, you really don't know me that well, do you?

Harmony noticed first, and she giggled, which caught Parvati's attention as well. With a wink at me, the dark skinned beauty turned and pulled Harmony into a kiss, her hand playing with the rings in Harmony's nipples. Harmony was really getting into the kiss, and I could see her hand moving down to Parvati's pussy when her stomach grumbled, completely breaking the mood!

Breaking the kiss, the two of them started laughing, and I couldn't help but join them. After we stopped, the girls hit the bathroom, and I handed each of them a cup of coffee before pouring one of my own.

Since the ship wasn't scheduled to stop today, we decided that we would spend the day poolside, working on our tans, although I wasn't sure how Parvati would benefit from the sun, being as dark as she already was. Decision made, we got into our bathing suits, and, let me tell you, the bikinis the girls were wearing made my Speedos uncomfortably tight, but the way the girls were staring, I wasn't going to change!

Grabbing my wallet and key card, the girls grabbed their purses and we went in search of breakfast before grabbing some sun.

The Breakfast Buffet
Twenty Minutes Later

As luck would have it, either that, or the universe has a sense of humor, Harry and his wives were just ahead of us at the buffet. Padma was standing very close to Harry, a satisfied smile on her face, but squealed and pulled Parvati to the side when she saw us.

The two of them were soon talking at each other a mile a minute, and I figured we'd see them when they stopped to breathe, so I moved on to the food. I noticed somebody beside me, and looked over, seeing Tonks standing there. Tonks smirked and said, “She doesn't seem to be limping, lover boy, what's the matter, losing your touch?”

I shook my head, and answered quietly, “Not a chance, Tonks, we're just holding off for a bit before we get sweaty. We talked about it last night, and, while we are all interested, we're spending the day together so we can get to know each other a bit first. I have to work with Harry and you, and we don't want to have things go badly that could make a problem for Harry, since Padma is married to him now.”

Tonks looked at me for a long minute, before she smiled and nodded, “Makes sense. And besides, you and I did something similar, but we had a better excuse. No matter how much I wanted to jump you, we still needed to deal with those blood suckers!”

Apparently I wasn't as quiet as I'd thought, because Harry looked over at me and grinned, “Cheers, mate! Appreciate the consideration.”

And Harmony decided to defend my honor at the same time, “And, don't worry Tonks, Xander isn't losing his touch. If it wasn't for the massaging shower head in the cabin, working out my stiff muscles, I would have been limping like a dog with a broken leg last night! He pounded me through the mattress yesterday afternoon, and later today and tonight, the two of us are going to blow Parvati's mind so badly she'll be calling herself Batman!”

I snickered, Harmony making a geek joke? The girl has depths! Tonks just looked confused for a second before shaking her head and turning back to filling her plate.

Looking over at Harmony, I grinned and mouthed the word “Batman?” and she shrugged.

She leaned closer and said, “I would have said, 'she'll be calling herself Groot!' but I doubt that she's ever even heard of the Guardians, let alone read any of their comic books.”

“Okay, you read comics? Why didn't I know this in school? We would have had a much better relationship, and you wouldn't have had to wait until now to act on your crush!”

“Well, duh!” She shook her head, “Of course I read comics, I've even got a Very Fine condition Showcase #4 at home. But, you know what the Cordettes were like, if they got wind of me doing anything even slightly unpopular, they would have torn me apart! I had to get my books mailed to me once a month, and it was a pain having to wait that long to see what happens next!”

“Well, now that you are out of high school, I hope that you are spending at least a little time visiting the comic shops. I remember hearing about a few good ones in your area. Plus, you've got Comic Con every year to fill in your collections.”

“Of course I do! I've got pull lists at three different stores, spreading my purchases out, and I went to San Diego last year. My stuck-up ex refused to allow me to attend something so childish when we were married.” Harmony grinned, “I showed him though! Last summer I got dressed up and entered the Cosplay contest, and sent a picture of me winning 2^nd prize to the Los Angeles Times, and mentioned that I was Allen's ex-wife. He was not happy about seeing me in the paper with his name attached to it.”

I laughed, shaking my head. “I can imagine, but I'm glad you are free of the putz, you're far too much fun to be stuck with somebody like that.”

She grinned at me, dimples showing, and said “Thanks! And I didn't even tell you who I dressed up as.”

I looked at her, considering for a couple of minutes, “Well, you could pull off an amazing Super girl or Power Girl, even Wonder Woman if you used a wig, but those seem kind of common, and, if you are into comics on a deeper level, I'd say you'd go for somebody who hasn't been done to death...”

She nodded, still smiling, “Go on, you're doing good so far. But I'll give you a hint, Mike Grell!”

“Okay, that narrows it down a bit, you've got the legs to pull off Black Canary's fishnets, but, still doesn't seem to be you....” Suddenly it hit me, and I pictured Harmony in the costume and my mouth almost started watering. “Saturn Girl's pink bikini? Is that what you wore? Please tell me you've got a copy of that picture!”

She giggled, “That's the one! Of course, this isn't the 70's anymore, so the costume was quite a bit more revealing than she was able to show in the comics. And, while I do have the picture, I've got something even better, I've still got the costume, and I'll wear it for you when we get home!”

“Huh? Wha?” Okay, so sue me, I went non-verbal for a minute while my mind processed that picture. And I really, for the first and only time in my life, wished I had red hair, so I could pull of the Lightning Lad costume!

Harmony's grin turned wicked, “I'm almost afraid to tell you the next bit, because you might have a stroke, but, I also got Cordy to dress up, as Phantom Girl, 70's costume, cutouts and all!”

Damn it! I'm going to pass out from blood loss to the brain if she doesn't stop doing this to me! I managed to keep my mouth shut this time, but I'm sure I was wearing a goofy grin, because Harmony giggled again.

Once I was back from my happy place, Harmony leaned against me and said, “Cordy and I agreed that if you were there, we would make an Ultra-Boy costume for you, and role-play some special adventures!”

Whatever I was going to say got interrupted by Luna saying, “I know you're having fun, Harmony, but Xander is about 30 seconds from ripping off your bikini and ravishing you on top of the scrambled eggs. And, while I enjoy a good ravishing as much as any proper sex slave, the rest of the breakfast crowd probably wouldn't be quite so open minded.”

Harmony winked at me and mock-pouted, “Darn! And I was really looking forward to having my boobs in the french toast syrup while Xander pounded me! Narrow minded people spoil all my fun!”

The two of us burst out laughing, and Luna snickered a bit, but we did manage to gather our breakfasts without creating a public nuisance.

I do have to admit, I was a little distracted by Luna's comment about being a proper sex slave. I wondered if Harry had the same kind of kinks I did, and if he would be willing to offer me some tips? While I certainly never considered Tara or Anya my slave, they were certainly my submissives, and Tara did seem to enjoy my calling her 'Slave' at times. And Tonks certainly had a submissive streak the weekend we spent together...

Shaking my head to get rid of the memories, Tonks was a married woman now, I finished filling my plate just in time for Parvati to finish her gossip session with her sister and join Harmony and I at the buffet. When we got to our seats, Parvati leaned over to us and said, “Do you have any idea why Tonks keeps looking at me and humming the 'Batman' theme?”

Harmony and I started laughing, and Harmony explained, making Parvati grin wickedly. Turning to look at Tonks, she said, “Actually Tonks, I'd be more likely to be calling myself Harley Quinn, I always liked guys who enjoyed a good joke!”

Tonks chuckled and raised her glass of juice to us in a salute, before turning to talk to Fleur, who just smirked at us, shaking her head.

I'll admit, I'm glad I wasn't drinking when Parvati made her comment, because I wasn't expecting a pure-blood witch to even know who Batman was, let alone who the Joker and Harley Quinn were. Glancing at Harmony, I could see that she was just as surprised, and intrigued as I was.

Harmony grinned at Parvati and said, “I didn't know you were a Batman fan, Parvati? Did the comics actually get to Hogwarts?”

Parvati shook her head, “Nah, although I'm sure Snape would have hated to have the students humming the Batman theme when he walked past. You remember I mentioned my ex, Dean, last night? Dean was a muggleborn, and, while his primary obsession, besides getting me in bed, was the West Ham football team, he also had a good sized collection of Batman books, and I read some of them, including the ones that had Joker and Harley in them.”

She frowned slightly, “I could never understand why people say that the two of them are so romantic, that was one of the most dysfunctional and abusive relationships I've ever seen, and I got to see Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange together!”

While wincing at the comparison, having heard stories about the two of them from Harry and Tonks, it set off a conversation between the three of us that totally confused the rest of the table but kept us occupied all through breakfast.

By the time we were pleasantly full, our conversation had moved onto other things, and we all headed toward the pool, determined to enjoy the morning sun before it got too hot. Harry and his ladies left us and headed back to their own cabins, to 'continue the honeymoon' as Luna put it. We laughed and said goodbye, before climbing the stairs to the upper deck. I was still shaking my head, trying to figure out how Harry managed to keep five women happy, when Harmony looked over at me.

“What's got you shaking your head? Is something wrong?” She asked with concern.

“No, nothing's wrong, Harmony, just wondering how Harry manages to make all his women happy, and not just in the bedroom, and if he's willing to give me a few tips? I've never been in a multiple relationship before, and, assuming that Cordy is as interested as you say, I really don't want to do something to screw it up!”

Parvati had been listening and said, “Actually, Xander, from what I've picked up talking to Padma and the others, the fact that you are concerned about your partners happiness and not wanting to hurt them shows that you already have the basics covered. You wouldn't believe the number of times that guys Padma or I dated wanted to get the two of us together to date them. Besides the fact that she is my sister for Merlin's sake, it was all about the guy living out a fantasy, and not about what Padma and I were feeling. If one of them had approached us with the attitude you have, I might have been tempted.”

Okay, I admit it, I went to my happy place for a second, and Harmony noticed the look on my face. Fortunately, she just laughed and said, when I was focused again, “Do you think that Padma would give me some of her hair if I found some polyjuice?”

Parvati looked shocked for a second at the question, then grinned, “Kinky! It wouldn't actually be Padma, but the fantasy is there, yeah, I could even offer Harry some of mine, so one of the others could use the potion. I think that Padma would go for it!”

When I looked at her in surprise, she laughed, “What, you think that we'd never thought about it? We're both healthy women who enjoy being with another girl from time to time. Of course we thought about it!”

Harmony smirked, “Now we just need to find some of the potion, I doubt you can just pick it up at the ship's pharmacy.”

Parvati looked thoughtful, “The pharmacy wouldn't, but there's a small apothecary to serve the magicals on the ship, and they might have some, after all, it's use in role-playing is well known in our world, and as long as I can give a magical oath that the person who gave the hair consented to it being used for that purpose, I should be able to get a couple of doses. We can check on that later, I don't think that Padma would want to be disturbed at the moment, since she told me the other wives were going to make her the center of attention while Harry watched this morning!”

Harmony's eyes lit up with excitement, “Damn! That sounds like fun, doesn't it Xander? I wonder if Cordy would be up for it? I know a couple of girls who would be up for a scene like that, and I think Cordy does too. What do you say, want to watch a bunch of hot girls drive me or Cordy out of our mind before you join in?”

I was saved from answering by Parvati's soft moan. “Damn, I wish I didn't live in London, that sounds hot as hell!”

Harmony nodded eagerly, “I know, right? And, who's saying you can't come for a visit? I can pay for your ticket easily enough.”

What the hell was going on here? It seemed like Harmony was trying to build a harem for me, and, while I'm a red-blooded male, and have no problem with the fantasy of a harem, things are getting really weird here, and I need to get to the bottom of it. Damn my sensible side!

“Um, girls? Not to be a damper on your conversation, but, aren't you getting a little ahead of yourselves? We agreed to spend this time with Parvati, so we could all get to know each other, and, while things are going very well so far, isn't it a bit early to talk about traveling to California to visit?”

Turning to look at Harmony, “We still need to talk to Cordelia and make sure that she is as interested as you say she is, before talking about adding any more girls to the family.”

Putting my arm around Parvati, I softly said, “Please don't think I'm rejecting you, I'm absolutely not! I really like the girl I'm getting to know this morning, and I really hope that you are as compatible with Harmony and I as I think you are, because I'm really looking forward to watching you lose your mind with pleasure.”

She gave me a genuine smile, and nodded, “Oh, I understand that, but, I'm just so comfortable with the two of you, far more than I've ever been with any of my lovers, except maybe Tania, and I would love to see if there is a connection between us beyond the fact that I want both of your bodies.”

Harmony chuckled, “Oh, trust me, I know that I want your body just as much, and I'm sure that Xander does too. But, he's right, I was jumping the gun, a lot. It's a bad habit of mine, and one I hope that Xander will train out of me when we get back home. I've always been impulsive, but it seems to have gotten worse over the last three years or so.”

Something about that time period niggled at part of my mind, as the rest of me was just glad that I hadn't totally blown things with both girls! Something about three years, what was going on around three years ago? Suddenly it hit me, and added to the fact that she was a lot stronger than she should be, and the fact that she was a lot tougher, needing my full strength to spank her, came together in my mind, and I froze in shock!

“Harmony, when you say about three years ago, would that be around the end of May, 2003?” I asked softly.

Harmony frowned, “Um, maybe? Why, what happened then?”

I didn't say anything, I just walked several feet away and found an open trash can. Looking inside, I found an empty soda can and I pulled it out. Looking around, I saw that nobody was paying even a bit of attention to us, so I decided to risk it. Turning as fast as I could, I threw the can and watched as Harmony gracefully grabbed it out of the air before it even got close to her head.

“Xander? What the hell was that?” Harmony demanded with a glare, and I smiled sadly at her.

“Harmony, you and Parvati need to sit down, I don't think you are going to believe this.”

When the three of us found a table not far from the pool, I started explaining what happened when Sunnydale went under, and the activation spell that Willow had used, to activate all the potential slayers in the world.

“It struck me as strange when you were able to break my grip yesterday, because the only other girl who could do that was Rona, who is also a slayer, and then, when your skin was a lot tougher than any other girl when I was spanking you. I just shrugged it off, but when you mentioned being more impulsive for the past few years, it all came together. When I tossed that can at your head, I was testing your reflexes, and, you should actually consider yourself fortunate, the test is normally done by tossing a knife at your head, but I didn't want to risk doing that.”

Harmony looked at me thoughtfully, fortunately her anger had cooled, and she said, “So, what are you saying? Am I like Buffy now? Because I really can't see myself wandering around graveyards at night, trying to look tasty.”

“Trust me Harmony, you wouldn't have to try to look tasty, you look delicious already,” Parvati interjected, making us laugh.

“Basically, yes, you are a Slayer, like Buffy and Faith and all the others, but I wouldn't worry about patrolling, since San Francisco doesn't seem to have as big a vampire problem as Sunnydale did, or Los Angeles. Although, having your abilities would definitely be a plus when we set up my detective agency.”

“Hmm, I wonder if that was what made me more interested in being something besides a trophy wife? I wasn't thrilled with Allen the first few years of our marriage, but I could tolerate him, but then, I started taking a look at my life and realizing that I wanted to do something more with it.”

I shrugged, “Hard to say, but I can say that I like the new you a lot better than I did the girl I knew in High School. But you said it yourself, you were already growing up after what happened at Graduation, it's possible that being activated just sped up the process. I don't know, and, honestly, don't think it's really that important. What is important, is getting you some training in fighting and weapons, so that, if something happens that you need to deal with, you'll have the skills to handle it. Fortunately, I am qualified to train you, and the fact that we will be involved will make it easier for you to learn what you need to know.”

“Sorry for asking a dumb question,” Parvati asked, “But why would that make it easier for Harmony to learn? Wouldn't the relationship make it harder to keep things professional.”

Harmony glanced at me, obviously asking permission, and I nodded slightly. I don't particularly care who is aware of this aspect of our budding relationship, and Parvati would find out soon enough anyway.

Harmony turned to Parvati and said, “The reason why I would learn easier from Xander is because I'm a natural submissive, and Xander is a dominant, and he is going to be train me to be his submissive when we get back to California. From what Xander has told me, and it makes sense, that sort of relationship requires a tremendous amount of trust, and, that trust will allow me to absorb what he is teaching me a lot easier than if it wasn't there already. Do you understand?”

Parvati nodded, “I do, actually. I was talking to Tania, and she was telling me about her prior lovers, and she mentioned that one of her lovers was very dominant, and it brought out her submissiveness a lot. She said the same thing, about how important trust between the two is, and why I needed to be very careful in getting involved in a relationship like that, because I could be very badly hurt if I chose badly.”

“It sounds like your friend was both very fortunate in finding a dominant that suited her, as well as very wise in understanding things.” I said, before I quirked a grin at her, “So, by the way you phrased that, should I take it that you are more than a little interested in a firm hand taking control of you?”

I didn't think a dark skinned girl could blush, but I was proven wrong, as she blushed brightly and nodded.

“Merlin, yes! That was one of the things that attracted me to Harry, I could sense his dominance, but, unfortunately, our personalities were far too different to work together as a couple. He's basically a very serious person, which is understandable, considering what he's gone through in his life, and I think live is to be lived, and find all the pleasure you can along the way! Padma is much more grounded than I am, and they will be very happy together, I'm sure.”

She paused, and looked at me speculatively, “In fact, if you haven't done so before, it might be a good idea to see if you have magic yourself, Xander. I got the same feeling of power and dominance from you that I did from Harry, and I've only ever gotten that feeling when I'm around a powerful wizard. I've met several very dominant non-magicals over the last few years, and a couple of them were very attractive men, but I didn't feel anything for them.”

I started shaking my head, 'Actually, I was already tested, when I first worked with Harry and Tonks, because Tonks was getting the same feeling that you have. I don't have even a rudimentary magical core, but we figured out that it has to do with something that happened when I was in high school.”

I briefly explained the Hyena possession, and the reinforcement of those traits from Halloween, and Parvati nodded thoughtfully, while Harmony just looked interested.

Parvati said, “That could explain it, because you do feel different from the wizards I've encountered, and at least I won't have to worry about Jeremy's Law! Not that I mind sharing, but some of those situations got way out of hand with the number of girls involved.”

Harmony asked, before I had a chance to, “What's Jeremy's Law? I don't remember it from the books?”

Parvati gave a light laugh, “It wouldn't have shown up there, those books were for kids and young teenagers mostly, and Jeremy's Law is something that is definitely an adult issue! It has to do with the relative magical strength between partners in a relationship, and if one partner is that much stronger than the other, the weaker partner's magic will start to change them, so they are the perfect partner. The only way around it is for the stronger partner to have multiple lovers. That's part of the reason, besides the fact that Harry has a magical animagus form, that Harry has as many wives as he does.”

“Why would Harry's form have an affect? Wouldn't the animagus form have the same magic that Harry does?” I asked, having looked into the animagus form when I encountered Oz a couple of years ago.

She shook her head, “Ordinarily it would, but when a magical form is involved, the creature's natural magic is added to the wizards, increasing their magical strength. And Harry's form is a Black Dragon.”

My eye widened as I remembered some of the stories of Dragons that I'd heard over the years. Thinking about their magical strength, I whistled softly, “Damn, five wives aren't going to be enough, are they?”

Parvati smiled slightly, “You might be surprised. All five of his wives are very strong witches, almost enough combined to equal Harry, and each of them also has a friend or two that doesn't mind 'helping out' discreetly once in a while. They are women who, for different reasons, can't officially be part of the family, but care enough for Harry to want to be there for him when needed.” She paused, considering something, and Harmony and I waited for her to continue.

“In fact, if I hadn't met up with the two of you and connected so well, Padma and I had talked about me being one of those who 'helped out', and, while I'm sure I would have enjoyed myself, I don't think I would have fit in well with most of his wives. Tonks is the only one who seems to have the same zest for life that I do, the others are basically pretty serious people, and life's too short to be that serious!”

“Absolutely!” I agreed, “And I think we've spent far too much time in serious conversation. There are deck chairs and a swimming pool waiting for us, and we shouldn't keep them waiting!”

The girls grinned and nodded, and we all got up from the table. As I was standing, my phone vibrated in my pocket and I pulled it out, curious who would be trying to contact me. Seeing that it was a text from Willow, I opened it and blinked in surprise. “I can't believe I forgot,” I laughed, turning to the girls with a smile. “It's from Willow, wishing me a Happy Birthday! I'd completely forgotten that today was my birthday, can you believe it?”

Harmony and Parvati smiled widely, and then wished me a Happy Birthday. It was freaky because they were almost in unison when they said it.

The two of them shared a glance and then Harmony said, “I think we should celebrate your birthday privately, don't you? In fact, I think a perfect way to celebrate would be for the two of us to take Parvati back to the cabin and let her worship your cock while I slide my tongue into that sweet pussy of hers.”

Parvati smiled, “I think that would be a great way to celebrate your birthday, and, after you cum in my mouth, Harmony will suck you hard again, and I'll show Harmony a spell called 'Futa' and she can take my pussy while you're the first man to ever take my arse! How does that sound, Master?”

I smiled, although picturing Harmony with a cock, even temporarily was more than a little weird, “I think it sounds wonderful, Parvati, except you forgot the part where I put you over my knee and spank you, and then use ties to bind your hands behind your back and put you on your knees so you can pleasure Harmony!”

Both girl's started breathing heavier as I spoke, and I turned toward them, letting the two of them see just how hard I was straining against my Speedos. There was a little bit of drool forming on Parvati's lips, and I snapped my fingers to get her attention. When she looked up at me, I gestured, and she and Harmony followed me as I led the way back to my cabin.

Xander's Cabin
A few minutes later

Once the door was closed and locked behind me, I turned to them, and, consciously copying what I had said to Harmony the day before, said, “Alright girls, lose the clothes! It's playtime!”

Harmony was naked almost immediately, and, to my surprise, was kneeling on the floor with her hands behind her head, the same way I had her position herself the day before. I gave her a slight nod of approval, which made her smile, before turning my attention to Parvati.

Even though we had slept together the night before, and I had seen every inch of her body then, and again this morning, this time it seemed different as Parvati removed her bikini. There was a tension in the room, as if she realized just what a big step she was taking. She was putting herself in my hands, and knew that she would be doing things she had never done before.

I heard her mutter, “Gryffindor's Forward!” as she shoved her bikini bottoms off and then pulled her top off as well, dropping it on top of the bottom half. Parvati glanced down at Harmony, and mimicked her position, kneeling with her legs spread, her hands locked behind her head, and her chest thrust out toward me.

I admired her position for a few seconds, before nodding, saying, “For your education, the position you both are in, is what I refer to as 'Position One'. Whenever you hear me say those words, you are to take that position until I direct you otherwise. Right now, you can relax and lower your arms.”

I know that I had told Harmony we were going to hold off on the full Dom/sub thing until we got back to California, but there wasn't any harm in teaching her a few of the positions. I wasn't going to be pressing her beyond anything we hadn't already done, at least not without a serious conversation. This was not the time for a conversation, though, I had two naked and eager girls on their knees before me, and it was time to celebrate my birthday!

Taking off my Speedos, I sat on the edge of the bed with my legs spread. I beckoned Parvati forward, and she dropped down onto her hands and knees and crawled over to me! The girl was far more submissive than I had suspected, and I could see myself becoming very attached to Parvati, very quickly. But I was determined to not hurt Harmony (or Cordy) at the same time. If they were open to it, I could see Parvati joining us easily, and having a trained witch, along with a Slayer, would be a great asset in helping people.

As Parvati moved, I could see the sheer desire in her eyes, and, when she reached me and sat back on her haunches, her pussy lips were swollen and glistening, the wisps of hair surrounding her entrance soaking with her juices. I knew that she was completely ready for anything I wanted to do, but I wasn't going to neglect Harmony while she was sucking me. I looked down at her, and drew her attention from my erection, and said, “Raise yourself up, Parvati, leave room for Harmony to slide under you.”

Harmony looked up and grinned at me, before making her way to the two of us. She lay down on her back and slid between Parvati's thighs, pulling the Indian girl down to her eager mouth. I enjoyed Parvati's sigh of pleasure as Harmony's tongue parted her folds, letting her enjoy the feeling for a few seconds before I gripped my cock and rubbed it across her lips.

Parvati's eyes shot open, and I looked deep into them, surprised to see that she was already deep into sub-space, either she was a bigger natural submissive than even Tara was, or she had been fantasizing about being dominated like this for a very long time! It wasn't important which is was, right now anyway, but I would need to talk to her about it when she was clear headed.

But that was for later, right now I was going to enjoy a new girl sucking my cock! Parvati pursed her lips and placed a worshipful kiss on the head, before sliding her tongue out and licking up the pre-cum that was already starting to form. She wrapped one of her hands around my shaft and stroked me as she took me into her mouth. She sucked on the head for a few seconds before pulling back and licking the shaft above her hand. She alternated between licking and sucking, and giving moans as Harmony hit a sweet spot inside her pussy, for a few minutes, until I could feel the pressure starting to build in my balls and I knew I was close to cumming.

Dropping my hands to her head, I held her in place and pushed into her mouth. She opened her eyes and looked up at me, the devotion in her eyes almost making me pause, but I kept moving. Parvati would be very disappointed if I didn't give her what she wanted, and I wasn't going to deprive her. Pumping into her mouth, I would pull almost all the way out before slide back in, stopping before I hit her throat. I didn't want to choke her, especially not on our first time together. Rona had enjoyed that, and surprisingly, so did Buffy, but they were the only girls who seemed to get off on domination that extreme, so I was very careful with how far I went into Parvati's mouth.

Just as I was about to cum, I released my grip on Parvati's head, and growled out a warning. Parvati locked her lips around me and started sucking harder, just as I released into her mouth. She started swallowing, and I was impressed that she managed to take everything I gave her, without anything slipping out of her mouth.

When I finished, she released me and leaned back, letting me see Harmony's mouth still active on her pussy. I sat back, stroking myself back to full hardness while Harmony brought her closer and closer to the edge. It was fascinating to watch Parvati as she started panting, her chest heaving as she rode Harmony's talented tongue. I was briefly distracted imagining watching Cordy in that same position, but put that aside for later and concentrated on the girl in front of me.

After a few minutes, I was starting to get concerned, though, because Parvati would get to the very edge of cumming, but then stop. At first I thought it was Harmony teasing her, but a quick look at my girlfriend showed she was doing everything she could to get Parvati off. This happened several times before it hit me! She was waiting for permission to cum!

“Parvati!” I called, softly, getting her attention. Her eyes shot open, and they were glazed with lust, but, to my embarrassment, they were also showing a bit of pain as she held back her climax.

When I had her complete attention, I said, “You can cum, Parvati.”

That was all it took, as my Indian beauty (and yes, she was mine now, she had given herself to me and I wasn't going to let her go without a fight!) fell backwards, her hands bracing her body on the carpet as she screamed out her pleasure. Parvati's entire body was shaking, and Harmony had to scramble out from between her legs to avoid being hit, looking at me in confusion.

I just said, “Later,” as I slid off the bed and lay down on the carpet, putting my arms around Parvati and pulling her close. I ran my hands over her shaking body, whispering soothing words as she calmed down. I was pleased to see that Harmony, seeing what I was doing, wrapped her arms around Parvati as well, mimicking my actions.

After a few minutes, Parvati relaxed in our arms, and her eyes opened wide and she smiled at Harmony, before twisting around and kissing me passionately. “Sweet Merlin! That was bloody amazing! I've never cum that hard before, and my magic is dancing inside me, ready for more!”

I smiled back, “I'm glad you enjoyed it, but, are you back to yourself now? You went really deep there for a while, and I think we're going to need to talk about that later, especially since it seems you've given yourself to me.”

I could see Harmony's eyes widen as she listened to us, before she grinned and leaned forward, kissing Parvati on the back of the neck. I heard her whisper, “Welcome to the family, sister,” and Parvati sighed in pleasure, before looking up at me with clear eyes.

“Hmmm, I guess I did, didn't I? All I know is, when you beckoned me over to you, my magic just took over and responded to you, and it just brought out all of my submissive feelings, and I knew that you would give me what I needed, and I was right! But, are you certain that you don't have a magical core? Because my magic was reacting to something in you, and, like I said earlier, I've never had a reaction even close to that with a person that didn't have a powerful magical core to draw on. We could actually do it right here, my wand is in my purse, and all you have to do is hold it and see if anything happens.”

“I'm certain, I spend a long afternoon with Harry and Tonks running ever spell they could think of, and I don't even have enough magic to make a potion. It's like I said earlier, Tonks had a very similar reaction, and determined it was caused by the remnants of the Alpha Hyena and the personality that possessed me that Halloween. But, if it will make you feel better, I'll prove it to you.”

I'll admit, I was more than a little nervous about the whole thing, especially since I clearly remembered the book catching fire when I simply read a few words in Latin, but it seemed to mean a lot to Parvati, so I nodded, and she gave a little squeal of happiness. She turned around, and, to my amusement, and Harmony's too, if I was a judge of her expression, crawled over to her purse and started fumbling around inside it.

Pulling the wand from her purse, she held it in her hand and came back to the bed. Lifting the wand so that the handle was toward me, she said, “All you need to do is grasp the handle of the wand and give it a slight wave. It will be obvious if the wand reacts to you at all.”

Reaching out, my hand wrapped around the carved wooden handle, and, as Parvati released her grip on the wand, I moved the wand the same way I had seen Tonks wave hers when we were fighting those vamps. To my relief, absolutely nothing happened, although the carved handle did seem to fit my hand fairly well, and I briefly considered carving the handles of the Slayers' stakes to see if it improved their gripping ability.

“Sorry Parvati,” I said, handing her back the wand, “I'm still the no-magic guy.”

Parvati shrugged, but I could tell she was a little disappointed. “I know you said that you didn't have any magic, but I was sure that you did!

Winking at Harmony, I said, “Well, I believe I was about to tie your hands behind your back and watch as you thanked Harmony for the wonderful orgasm she gave you, and then I was was going to take my cock and fill your soaking pussy while I spank you..”

I was watching Parvati's reactions as I spoke, and her breath was getting shorter and her nipples were tight enough to cut glass she was so turned on. I looked deeply into her eyes, and she had already dropped into sub-space again.

I really needed to talk to somebody about this, because the only other woman who reacted like this was Tonks, none of my other lovers went that deep right away. Hell, Tara only started dropping into sub-space when we were half-way through her training! But both Tonks and Parvati, the only two wand users that I've been with, both go deep during our first time together? That was too much of a coincidence, especially since I don't have any magic of my own.

Harmony shifted slightly on the floor, and I realized that I had been drifting into my own thoughts again, so I focused on Parvati and continued,

“Then, after you and Harmony cum, I'm to have Harmony use her tongue and fingers to get your ass ready for my cock. I know you've never done that before, but Harmony can tell you, I know how to make sure you enjoy yourself.”

Reaching down to the floor at the foot of the bed, I picked up one of my ties that had been tossed there yesterday, and I stood up, moving behind Parvati. “Pet, put your hands together behind your back and cross your wrists.”

Parvati obeyed without hesitation, and I wrapped the tie around her wrists. I made sure that she would be able to get out of it without much trouble, but it was tight enough that it should enhance the experience for her.

I felt Harmony's eyes on me, and I looked over at her, curious as to what she needed.

She stood up and moved close to me, whispering, “Will I be doing that when you train me?”

“You mean, dropping into sub-space like that?” Harmony nodded, “It's hard to say, not all submissives are able to let go of their sense of self like that, of the three other girls I've trained, Tara was the only one who was able to go that deep, and that was after we had been together for several weeks. Honestly, I'd be surprised if you did go that deep, because you've got the Slayer spirit inside you now, anchoring your identity, so it will be much harder for you to let go that completely. It really doesn't matter, we will find out what your level of submission is, and I'll train you to release it so you can be truly happy with your life.”

I could easily tell that Harmony was still a little nervous, despite my words, and I wanted to make sure that I still wanted her, even if Parvati was more submissive. Pulling her close, I leaned down and captured her mouth, forcing my tongue between her lips, claiming her. My blonde girlfriend moaned and melted against me, her hand dropping down to stroke my hardening cock. Even though I didn't want to, I reached down and grabbed her wrist, moving her hand away. I broke the kiss, and said,

“Not yet, Harmony, I'll give you what you want, but it's your sister's turn now. Lay down on the carpet and spread your legs, I'm sure you are ready for Parvati to return the favor, aren't you?”

I was relieved to see the disappointment in her eyes change to excitement, as she slipped away and got into position.

Moving back to Parvati, I tapped her on the shoulder and she looked up at me obediently. “You did a wonderful job pleasing me with your mouth Parvati, and now it's time to show me how good you are at pleasing women, because that will be an important part of your life as my pet. Turn around and show Harmony how much you enjoyed what she did for you.”

There was a small spark of awareness in her eyes, and she smiled brightly, shuffling around so that she was facing Harmony. It took her a little time, because she couldn't use her hands to brace herself, but Parvati lowered her face between Harmony's spread legs and started licking.

I watched for a while as Parvati enthusiastically licked Harmony's pussy, making her squirm with pleasure. Parvati was rubbing her own thighs together at the same time, showing her own enjoyment of what she was doing.

Sliding off the bed, I moved into position behind Parvati and started rubbing my cock head along her soaking lips. Parvati lifted her head from Harmony's pussy and moaned softly as she opened her legs wider, giving me access to her core. Grabbing her hips, I slid forward slowly, letting her adjust to my cock. Once I was all the way inside her, I pulled back slightly and pushed back inside, making Parvati squirm against me.

Remembering my promise, I started to lightly spank her, being careful not to use my full strength on my new lover, since her skin wasn't as tough as Harmony's. Parvati must have reacted because Harmony's eyes shot open and she gave a guttural moan before her eyes rolled back in her head and she started cumming. I kept up the rhythm and Parvati moved back against me, continuing her ministrations to our blonde lover, and Harmony seemed to be climaxing constantly, at least by the way she was moaning our names and crying out in pleasure.

I continued spanking Parvati as we moved together, and soon enough I could feel the pressure building up in my balls. Not wanting to cause Parvati pain again, I leaned forward so my mouth was at her ear, and said, “As soon as you feel me cum, you can cum as well Parvati, you have done very well, and Harmony and I are very happy with you!”

Parvati didn't even lift her mouth from Harmony's pussy, but I felt her shiver against me, and that was all it took! I buried my cock in Parvati's clenching pussy and groaned out her name as I unloaded inside her. Parvati started shaking against me as I came, and she lifted her head, moaning unintelligibly as her orgasm hit her. I wrapped my arms around her, stroking her body as she enjoyed the sensations.

Wanting to see how Harmony was reacting, I looked over Parvati's shoulder and was relieved to see that she was watching us affectionately, a sated smile on her face as she rested, leaning up on her elbows. “Alright there, Harmony?”

Her smile was blinding, “Never better, I'm telling you now, even if Cordy doesn't want to get back together with you, I'm not letting either of you go!”

I wasn't sure how to respond to that, other than to smile back at her as I continued to hold Parvati, but, fortunately, I was spared a response by the sound of music coming from Harmony's purse. It took me a second to recognize the tune, but then I realized it was 'The Bitch is Back' by Elton John and I laughed, there was only one person that I could think of who Harmony would use that for her ringtone.

Harmony had jerked when the phone rang, but rolled over and opened her purse, grabbing the phone and shutting off the music. “Hey Cordy! How are you?”

Harmony pulled the phone away from her ear, so we could hear what Cordy was saying. “Hey Harm, sorry to bug you, but I've got a very strange question for you. I'll explain why I'm asking in a minute, but have you seen or heard anything about Xander while you were on the cruise?”

Harmony giggled and said, “You could say that Cordy, considering that I'm currently laying on the carpet in his cabin recovering from my 10^th orgasm of the morning!”
“What? Damn Harmony, he's really that good?” There was a pause and I could hear her take a breath,
“Okay, that's a story I'm going to want to hear, but Xander is with you? I'm not sure if that makes me happy or even more nervous. You see, I was down at the Wharf earlier today and the strangest damn thing happened to me. I was helping one of the Legal teams out, going over job applications when I noticed a woman wandering around looking confused. That's not all that unusual, you know the types of people who wander in, but when she looked at me, it was like looking in a mirror! It wasn't a case of her looking like me, she was my exact duplicate, she looked even more like me than my cousin Wendi does, and we're already freakishly alike!”

That was a surprise, considering that I'd met Wendi a couple of times when Cordy and I were dating, and it was very hard to tell the two of them apart. But Cordy continued talking, and I focused on what she was saying.

“Anyway, the woman's eyes lit up when she saw me, and she walked over to my table and sat down. She smiled at me for a second, and said, “I was wondering what had drawn me here, but now that I've seen you, I know. I've got a message for you.”

“I wanted to snark at her, but something about the woman made me hesitate, I mean, I've experienced enough to know that people do exist who can pass on messages and visions. I spent enough time dealing with my own visions that I wasn't going to just blow her off. I just put down the papers I was going over and looked at her. The woman looked back and said, “First off, I'm glad you avoided the trap that Skip and Jasmine were planning, you have a much happier future now, and what I'm about to tell you is part of that. Your friend, Harmony, when she returns to you, she won't be alone. She will be accompanied by three others, and the five of you, plus a possible sixth, but that's not certain, will help you making a difference for the better in many peoples lives.”

“I wasn't quite sure how to respond to that, especially this mention of Jasmine, who I'd never heard of, but, hey, making things better for people sounded good to me, and a happier future is always a good thing, right? But she continued, 'The three who are going to be arriving are the White Knight of your youth, and, the incident that tore the two of you apart was neither he or his red-haired friends fault, they were compelled to act the way they did as part of Jasmine's plan. They will be accompanied by the bride of Shiva and one who was thought lost but was actually hidden. All of them have gifts that will help you as you help the others.'”

I felt Parvati stiffen in my arms as Cordy was talking, and she spoke up, “I'm sorry, did you say that Harmony would be accompanied by the 'Bride of Shiva'?”

“Yes I did, and who are you?”

Parvati giggled, “I'm the girl who gave Harmony several of her orgasms a little while ago, while Xander was driving me out of my mind. My name is Parvati Patil, and in the Hindu pantheon, I'm married to Shiva.”

There was a pause, and Cordys' voice came over the speaker, “Parvati Patil? Really? If you don't want to tell me your name, that's fine, but you can't just grab a random name from the Harry Potter books and expect to be believed!”

I spoke up for the first time, “Uh, Cor? I hate to tell you this, but her name really is Parvati Patil, and her twin sister is Padma, and Harry Potter and the others are real people, we've all met them, and I've worked with several of them over the last couple of years.”

Harmony chimed in, “He's telling the truth Cordy, we had dinner with Harry and his wives last night. Harry just got married to Padma, and they are all on their honeymoon cruise. I got to talk to all of them, and guess what? Sirius didn't actually die in real life, he lost his leg, but he and Remus are running a bed and breakfast together!”

“....” There was silence on the other end of the phone for several seconds before Cordys' voice came back, and I smothered a grin at how shocked she sounded, “Okay, I think my brain just rebooted, I'll deal with the idea that Harry Potter and the others are real a little later, when I have a stiff drink in my hand.”

I heard her taking a deep breath, and then she said, “Harmony, can you take the phone off of speaker and hand it to Xander? I think the two of us really need to talk.”

“Sure Cordy, talk to you later!” Harmony said, handing the phone to me.

I'll admit, even though Harmony had said that Cordy was still interested, I was nervous taking the phone from her hand. Lifting it to my ear, I said “Hello?”

The nervousness vanished instantly at the warmth in her voice, a tone I hadn't heard addressed to me in several years, ever since the night everything went to hell in that basement. “Xander? I know we have a lot to talk about, but I don't want to run up Harmony's phone bill any more than I already am, but I have to ask, since you and Harmony have already taken care of her crush on you, did Harmony tell you about some of the conversations she and I had?”

I chuckled, “She told me about several of them, including the fact that you have a costume that compliments hers, and would like to engage in a bit of role-playing when the three of us get together! And can I say that Harmony got me so worked up I was on the verge of bending her over the buffet this morning!”

Cordy chuckled, “I'm sure the others would have loved seeing that for breakfast! But, are you willing to try again, with us? Because I wasn't just talking to her about role-playing, I really regretted the way that things ended between us, even more that I find out it wasn't either of your faults.”

There was only one answer I could possibly give at that point, and fortunately for me, it was exactly the correct answer, “Oh hell yes! I know I didn't say it enough when we were together, but I honestly did love you, Cordy, and never stopped loving you! And you're right, there is a lot for us to talk about, but that's not a conversation for the telephone. Just make sure you are at the airport when we get back, and I'll show you just how willing I am!”

Her chuckle was throatier than ever, and I felt myself getting hard again, remembering what that sound had lead to in the past. “I'm looking forward to it!” she purred, before laughing happily, “God I've missed you, doofus! I can't wait to see you again, and meeting Parvati. Oh, and please pass my apologies to her, I really shouldn't have reacted like that, but I wasn't expecting to find out that the Harry Potter books were real.”

With that, we said our goodbyes, and I hung up the phone. Handing it back to Harmony, I gave Parvati the apology, which she easily accepted, and we picked up where we had left off before the phone rang.
It was several hours later by the time we showered and dressed in search of dinner.

The Dining Room
That Evening

All three of us were limping slightly as we made our way to the table that night, which, as luck would have it, was already mostly full with Harry and the others. Of course, Tonks saw us first, and she had to make a comment, but I was saved from answering by Padma taking one look at her sister and grinning wickedly before pulling her aside. Harmony just smirked at Tonks and said, loudly enough that the others heard her, “Told you he hadn't lost his touch, didn't I?”

Fleur and Cho just snickered, while Harry grinned at me, shaking his head in amusement. Luna didn't say anything, just concentrating on her soup, but I could see the corners of her mouth quirking up as well. Harmony and I had already placed our orders when Parvati came back to the table. I was a little concerned when Padma glared at me when she sat down, because I couldn't think of what I had done to cause that kind of reaction, it couldn't be the fact that we had sex with Parvati, she was well aware of what was going to happen.

I was about to ask her what was going on when the glare faded and she said, “You had to mention polyjuice, didn't you? I was going to save the idea for Harry's birthday, but now my surprise is ruined, damn it!” I'll admit, I didn't know what to say to that, 'I'm sorry' really isn't appropriate, but fortunately she grinned, “It's alright, I'm sure I'll come up with something, but I really wanted to surprise him with the two of us at once!”

Tonks and the others had been watching the two of us, obviously wondering what was going on, when Tonks grinned and said to Harry, “You know, husband of ours, that's something we haven't tried. I've wondered if somebody took some polyjuice with my hair in it, would they be able to morph the way I do? It might be fun to find out, and it could even be useful on the job.”

That lead to a discussion about the ability of a metamorphmagus and how the potion would react that I'll admit was way over my head, but Padma, Cho and Luna seemed to find fascinating. I was just glad that Padma wasn't all that angry, because I didn't want to cause any problems between her and Parvati. The three of us didn't say much, since we had all worked up quite an appetite, but Parvati did say that Padma had agreed to swap hair with her. Harmony grinned and went back to eating, but I was starting to understand her well enough to know she was looking forward to the experience. I'm not sure how happy she'll be when she gets a taste of the potion though, I would rather eat Buffy's cooking than drink it again! The one time was bad enough, although I did enjoy having both eyes back for the hour it lasted.

January 25^th, 2006
The Port of Dover, England

The two weeks the cruise lasted were some of the happiest times I can remember, even the times that the three of us were fully dressed. I'm not going to discuss everything we did, but I will say that Harmony got to enjoy what fucking her ass felt like from my perspective, and was even more enthusiastic about it afterward. I was surprised though, that she didn't seem to have the same reaction to the taste of polyjuice that I did, until I discovered that they had changed the formula and, not only did it last longer, but the taste was nowhere near as disgusting as it used to be. I also got to experience something that most men can only fantasize about, a threesome with identical twin sisters. It was interesting to see that Harmony reacted very differently while transformed into Padma. Parvati's sister apparently was not submissive at all, and didn't enjoy the feeling of being spanked in the slightest. It was certainly something to remember, and it made it very easy to tell the two girls apart while the potion lasted.

But now the vacation was over, and it was back to reality for all of us. Harmony had switched her flight back to the United States, so we could all travel together, and Parvati and I had to go into work to let them know we were leaving. I wasn't really looking forward to that part, but I was looking forward to finding out what I had to do to start my own detective agency.

Parvati and I had exchanged addresses during the cruise, and we were both amused to find out that our flats were within a block of each other in London. We agreed to meet up at Parvati's tomorrow evening after we finished work, so we could start packing up her belongings. Most of my stuff was still in storage in Los Angeles, so there wasn't much for me to pack.

Harmony came home with me of course, and, after a dinner of take-away Chinese, we snuggled on the couch for awhile before heading to bed. Both of us were too tired to get naked and sweaty, and honestly, it felt a little strange not to have Parvati with us, she had basically moved into my cabin with Harmony and I for the rest of the cruise, and I found myself missing her being cuddled up into my side as we slept.

It was after a restless night that we made our way to the Watchers Headquarters. I brought Harmony with me, just so we could confirm that she actually was a Slayer, and to ensure that I was assigned as her Watcher. It was almost amusing the expressions of shock on Willow and Buffy's faces when they realized that a; Harmony was a Slayer, b; that she and I were together, and c; that I was leaving England for good.

Faith was out of the country on a mission when we were there, so I didn't get to ask her about the shampoo and conditioner that had mysteriously ended up in my luggage, but I managed to leave my gift for her in her office. I would love to be a fly on the wall when she got back and opened it, and saw the little surprise I had included. The official gift was a set of knives that were very similar to the ones she preferred to use, but the box had a false bottom where I had left the note she included with the shampoo, with the words “I did! Multiple Times!” and a pair of Harmony and Parvati's panties!

The two girls both thought it was hilarious, and made sure that they were very wet when they took the panties off. It was no secret that Faith was bi, so I'm sure she would enjoy the gift as much as we enjoyed giving it to her. Especially since Harmony had the bright idea of including pictures of her and Parvati wearing the panties, and nothing else, in the package.

We eventually got everything straightened out, including a private conversation with Willow about what we learned about 'the Fluke' which was far more uncomfortable than I expected, simply because the woman in front of me had changed so much from the girl I grew up with. The conversation with Giles and Buffy was a lot easier, with Giles promising to send me extra copies of the books I would need, and Buffy just giving me a hug and telling me to keep in touch, and to let her know if we needed any help in San Francisco, because there were lots of shoe stores there that she would like to visit. The two of us laughed as Giles muttered “Oh Dear Lord” under his breath while trying to hide a grin.

It was almost five o'clock by the time Harmony and I got into the cab to go back to my flat. Both of us needed a shower before going to meet Parvati, so it was almost six thirty by the time we knocked on her door. Of course, it was then that I got the biggest shock of my life!

Parvati's Flat
6:30 That Night

I could hear two voices talking as I knocked on the door, and it opened within a few seconds, and Parvati was smiling at us, holding the door open wide so we could come in. As soon as the door shut behind us, I pulled her into my arms and kissed her firmly, before letting her go so Harmony could do the same thing. I watched the two of them for a few seconds before I remembered that there was another person in the room, and turned to look at her. The flowing peasant dress seemed familiar, and the long dark blonde hair, but when I looked into her face, and saw the nervous expression, all I could think of was Cordys voice saying “And one that was thought lost, but was only hidden.” I fell back against the door, and think I heard myself saying “Tara?” before everything went black.

I don't know how long I was out, but when I opened my eye again, Tara was kneeling beside me, and Parvati and Harmony were standing next to the couch I was laying on. When they saw I was awake again, Harmony handed me a glass of water and helped me to drink it. After I finished and was sitting up, Tara looked at me and said, “Hi Xander, I guess you want to know what's going on?”

“I take it you're Tania?” I managed to ask, remembering Parvati talking about her sometime lover, “Then yes, I would certainly like to know what's going on, we all thought you were dead! Hell, I saw your body laying there on the floor, with a bullet hole through your heart!” I couldn't help myself, the tears started flowing down my face, “It tore my heart out seeing you like that, and then having to deal with everything.... What happened, why did you let us think you were dead?”

Tara was crying as well, and, I've never been able to resist a crying female, and I leaned over and pulled her into my arms. A small part of me was happy to see that she was solid, and not some figment of the First trying to mess with us again, but the rest of me was just concentrating on soothing the girl in my arms.

Eventually the crying stopped, and Tara started talking.

“I really didn't want to leave you, or let you think I was gone, but I didn't have any choice in the matter. Before I tell you what happened, I've got a confession to make. It turns out that my father and brother were right, the women in my family do have a demonic aspect. It's not one of the evil breeds, in fact, physically we are almost indistinguishable from a human, except that our hearts are not exactly in the same place. When I was shot, I was gravely injured and my body shut down to try and heal itself. I was dying, but very slowly. The next thing I knew was being woken up by a person who called himself Whistler, telling me that I had to get dressed and leave Sunnydale. Please understand, I was extremely disoriented at the time, waking up on a metal slab in the morgue, sort of like Buffy must of felt when she woke up in her coffin.”

She paused to take a drink of water, and continued, “I wanted to go to you, to tell you and the others that I was still alive, but Whistler grabbed my hand and we disappeared. The last thing I saw was a copy of my body laying on the slab, and the drawer sliding closed. I don't know where we ended up, but Whistler explained that if I had tried to contact you or Willow or anybody else right then, it would lead to the deaths of every being on the planet. He showed me your confrontation with Willow when she tried to raise Proserpexa and told me that if I had shown up at that point, Willow would have lost control of the magic and the entire planet would have been destroyed. As much as it hurt, seeing you injured like that, I couldn't bear the idea of all that destruction, so I let Whistler lead me away. We spent a long time in another dimension, where I finished healing from being shot, and then he really turned my world upside down. It seems that I was never supposed to fall in love with Willow, we were supposed to meet and become friends, but I was supposed to find you again before Anya reappeared in your life. There was a rogue Power, named Jasmine, who was working with Proserpexa, and it was all part of their plans.”

I jerked when Tara mentioned Jasmine, and I briefly explained what Cordy had told us about what she had discovered. I also told her that the Watchers had learned that the other Powers (some of whom actually weren't bastards) had banded together and taken care of the rogue.

Harmony and Parvati had been quiet during our conversation, and when I looked over at the two of them, Parvati said, “Tania had explained a lot of this to us while you were out, otherwise we wouldn't have let her near you. I guess you were Tania's lover who trained her as a submissive?”

I nodded, “The summer after graduation, we met in a town called Oxnard, a couple of hours drive from Sunnydale, but that's a story for another time. The question is, where do we go from here?”

“I think I can help you there, kid,” A voice responded from the back of the room, making us whirl around. Based on Buffy's description, and Tara's story, there was only one being this could be.

“Whistler, I presume? What are you doing here? Looking for work since Angel bit the big one?”

The demon smirked, “Cute kid, but no, I've got plenty of work to do since rat breath did his version of the Spartans at Thermopylae. I'm actually here to tell demon girl that the proscription against going back to the states or having contact with the Watchers and Slayers is over. The critical events are over, and you can live your life however you please.” He turned, obviously preparing to leave, when he paused, and his head tilted to one side. “Hmmph! That's different!” Turning back to us, he said, “I was just given a message from my bosses, as a way of saying thanks for stopping the little witch from destroying the world, the false emotions that were created in her about demon girl will fade away so you don't have to worry about letting her and the others know what's going on.” With that, he turned again, and vanished before his back was completely to us.

I took a breath and released it, shaking my head, “Deux ex Machina, anybody? I thought that only happened in the ancient plays, not in our lives.”

Tara shook her head, “I don't honestly care, Master, I really wanted to let you know that I was alive, and tried to contact you several times over the last couple of years, but something always stopped me. I really missed all of you, and really want to see Dawnie again.”

I could understand that, and a part of me smiled at how easily Tara fell back into her role, so I gave her a quick hug and a kiss before turning back to Harmony. “Did you set a return date on your plane ticket, Harm? Because it looks like we need another day or so.”

She smiled, “Actually, since I knew we were going to be bringing somebody else with us, I left it open. I can call and get four seats for us at any time.”

Looking at the three of them, I grinned as an idea hit me, “You know, both of us have more than enough money to charter a plane to take us back to the States, and we can mark 'joining the mile high club' off of our to do lists.”

Harmony's grin matched mine, and Tara chuckled, while Parvati looked a little confused, but interested. Harmony leaned over and whispered in her ear, and Parvati's grin matched the rest of ours. I know it's kind of strange that I was so accepting of having Tara back, but I've lived long enough to know that weird crap just happens, and since it was a good thing, I wasn't going to complain.

Just as I was about to comment that all of us were wearing too many clothes, my stomach grumbled, reminding me that Harmony and I hadn't eaten since a light breakfast. Harmony and Parvati's stomachs decided to echo mine, so food was a definite priority before we could have a proper reunion.

Fortunately there was a chip stand just around the corner, so we were soon digging in and enjoying the greasy, salty goodness, before heading back to Parvati's flat. Tomorrow I would call Buffy and the others, and let Cordelia know about our travel plans, but tonight was for Tara to join the family.

As soon as the door closed behind us, I winked at Harmony and said, “Alright girls, lose the clothes! It's playtime!”
