Buffy the Shemale Vampire Slayer Part 5

"You're a fine friend, Buffy," he said softly. "I know how hard this is for you." He did know, too, for it was just as hard for him. They had Anya to thank for their predicament. It was she who'd worked out the counter spell that would bring Willow back from the demon dimension into which Anya had cast her. Anya had stipulated the requirements of the ritual that they must perform to retrieve Willow. After this was over, Anya would pay dearly for her depraved treachery. Giles would see to it personally. He had a hunch that Buffy would, too.

"Let's get it over with," Buffy said, and they took off their clothes.

To return Willow from the demon dimension, Buffy had to travel there. Her ticket was to have sex with her mentor. Both Giles and Buffy were horrified at the thought of having sex with one another. Not only was Giles old enough to be her father, but he had been her father-or a father surrogate, at least. From the time that Buffy was sixteen, Giles had loved her, advised her, taught her, comforted and consoled her, disciplined her, trained her, and, in general, cared for her. As his superior on the Watchers' Council had declared, Giles had had a "father's love for the child." It was unthinkable that he should now have sex with her, but, if they ever wanted to see Willow again, that is exactly what they'd have to do.

Once they were naked, try as they might, they could not completely avert their eyes from one another's nakedness. It was a matter both of human nature and of curiosity. Buffy and her mentor stole furtive glances at each other. At last, Buffy got to see what Giles had concealed under the heavy tweed suits he'd worn during his years as Sunnydale High School's librarian, and he got to see what Buffy had hidden beneath the stylish outfits-blouses, mini-skirts, and knee-length boots, for the most part-that she had worn during her high school days.

The renegade Slayer, Faith, had once described Giles as "young and cute," and, although Buffy couldn't agree that he was young, she had always thought him cute, in his own older-adult kind of way.
