The other way

"I.... I was... I was thinking about using the, um, the other way to motivate you." Buffy blushed. "The opposite of torturing you."

"Huh." Xander took a second and pondered what the opposite of **** was. Well the opposite of pain was pleasure... "oh.... OOOH!"

Buffy hunched her shoulders and bobbed her head back and forth, "Yeeeeah"

Xander couldnt help but smirk, "You naughty minx, you." He waggled a finger at Buffy, "Naughty naughty, Buffy."

Buffy gave an impish grin and more confidently nodded her head. She unhunched her shoulders and leaning in explained in quiet seductive tones, "Well, you see Xander I figured we could trade touch for touch, hmmm? You touch me, I touch you. Everybody's happy in the end, yeah?"

Xander couldnt help the bark of laughter that slipped out, "Happy endings you say?"

"Its only fair." Buffy said sagely, "If I leave a massage happy so should you."

Xander nodded his head "Yes. Yes I can see how thats... reasonable." He leaned in and dropped his voice, "But what if my massages leave you happier than yours leave me?"

Buffy worried her lower lip before with a cocked eyebrow she said, "Well... the magnitude of happiness could be measured against multiple smaller happys. I mean.... A huge happy might be worth ten medium happys."

Xander was in the zone now, "Obviously you haven't seen how huge my happiness is. It might take, at least, ten large happys to measure up against my huge happiness."

Buffy responded quickly with a batting of her eyelashes, "But what about the quality of my medium happys? You will find that my happys are of the finest quality. My medium happy might not be as large as some but it is of better quality. "

"Hmmm, good point." Xander did think for a second, "Of course that begs the question of whether or not we are bargaining for my highest quality happy. After all, this..." he gestured between the two of them, "negotiating is because you experienced a low quality rush job perfect touch massage. What would a proper, carefully thought out and planned perfect touch massage be worth to you?"

Buffy goggled for a second as her eyes went out of focus and her jaw hung open.

"Take a sec." Xander chuckled, "I'm open to all reasonable offers."
