lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>Spike
just stared at Buffy in amazement; she was actually encouraging him to spend
more time with Rebecca. He smiled his
thanks before leading his wife back upstairs.

closed and locked the door behind them “So we’ve been sent to our room like a
pair of naughty children” he waggled an eyebrow “Whatever will we do locked in
this room all alone?”
lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>
lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>Rebecca
sat on the edge of the bed before slowly leaning back on her elbows.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “I don’t know.” She stretched out fully across
the bed “Any ideas?”

growled before jumping up beside her, bouncing up downdown like a child.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Rebecca was laughing loudly as she was tossed
about. Suddenly she sat up facing Spike
and pulled him close. “Well that was
fun, but I can think of a few other things we could do in this bed.”style='mso-spacerun:yes'> She slowly ran her hands down his body to cup
his backside.
lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>
lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>Spike
mirrored her actions “Really! What did
you have in mind?” He pulled her even
closer so that their bodies pressed in all the right places.

lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>“Well”
Rebecca began as she slowly worked her hands under his shirt “We’re a little
ovressressed for what I was thinking of.”

lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>“Oh are
we?” Spike started unbuttoning her top “Better do something about that
then.” He slid her top off and began
kissing her shoulders.

lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>Rebecca
pushed him back “Not so fast mister.”
She lay back down “Entertain me.”

lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>Spike
leaned over her “Bossy aren’t you?” he gave her a hard kiss before standing
up. “So you want a show do you luv?”

lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>“Most

lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>Spike
stood and studied his wife. They hadayedayed this game quite often during their marriage.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> It would have been considered the height of
decadence to behave in such a manner in their time.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> But neither of them really cared for what was
considered ‘proper’ when they were behind closed doors.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Their passion for each other had eclipsed
everything else. “So luv what do you
want me to do first?”
lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>
lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>“Take of
your shirt” Rebecca’s voice was starting to thicken with passion “Slowly”
lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>
lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>Spike grabbed
the hem of his shirt and peeled it up his torso inch by inch before tossing it
aside. He waited for his next
instruction.
lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>
“Run your hands across your chest”
Spike began to move his hands sensually across his
body, playing with his nipples so that they hardened under his touch.
“Now start to unbutton your pants.” Rebecca
darted her tongue out to moisten her lips.
“That’s not how it works luv.”
Rebecca pouted before rising to stand in front of
him just out of reach. She moved her hands to the clasp of her bra
fumbling slightly before she removed it. She lightly ran her hands across
her chest mimicking Spike’s movements.
“Buttons” she murmured
Spike slowly popped each button before
nodding for his wife to do the same.
Rebecca undid her zipper and continued on to slide
her pants down her legs so that she could step out of them.
Spike kicked his jeans to the side so that he now
stood completely naked before her. Rebecca stood clad only in a pair of
white cotton panties. They lifted their hands and began to move them
across the others body, not touching the skin but passing close enough so that
the other could feel the shift in the air as the hand continued on its path.
“Seems that I’m at a bit of a disadvantage” Spike
indicated towards her panties before moving closer. Their bodies were
almost touching, Spike slid handsands down her side so that they rested on her
hips, palms beneath the cotton and thumbs hooked on the outside. Slowly
he began to inch his hands downwards until he was kneeling in front of
her. He looked up at her and smiled as she stepped out of her panties.
Rebecca cupped his chin in her hand and urged him
to stand. The stood staring into the others eyes for a few minutes before
Rebecca stepped forward pressing her body against his. Spike caught her
mouth in a kiss before lifting her into his arms and laying her on the bed.
lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>Spike
took a moment to stare down at her “You sure about this?”
lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>
lang=EN-US style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>Rebecca
merely nodded before pulling his mouth back down to hers.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> She moaned into his mouth as she felt his
hand move downwards, Spike flicked her clit lightly before inserting two
fingers inside her heat.

thought that was an ideal excuse for the state of her room.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Also the thought of Spike doing ‘that’ with
