A World of Their Own

Part 16

Spike opened the door and slipped into the sauna as quietly as possible. He knew Xander had gone in a few minutes before him and he was trying to sneak up on him. It was nice and steamy inside the small building; he could just make out his boy's form through the steam.

Xander was reclined back on the bench, one leg on the floor and the other bent at the knee. His arms were folded behind his head and his eyes were closed in relaxation. He was gloriously naked.

Spike had shed what passed for clothes these days before slipping inside, so he too was au natural. He crouched down and then slowly crawled toward his lover on all fours. He felt like a big cat on the prowl; the soft growl that he could feel erupting from his throat gave credence to that thought.

Xander had been looking forward to this all day; he had worked on his garden, hunted with Spike, fixed up the roof and then gone off for a bit of fishing by himself while Spike cleaned their kills. They had gotten really good at pioneer living, drying out meats and fish for storage, wearing skins for hunting - so as not to crush their dangly bits - and even making some clay pottery.

The only thing Xander wanted was to lay back and soak up the steam before jumping into the cool river water. It was extremely refreshing, and something he did as often as possible. Though he usually didn't get much time alone in here; Spike seemed to have a penchant for shagging in the sauna - something about seeing him all sweaty and naked - not that he minded.

Xander was just beginning to wonder if he was actually going to be left alone this time when he felt a strong cool tongue begin licking its way up his thigh. He smiled to himself and spread his legs further to give the vampire more room. "Mmm, that feels good."

"Gonna feel even better in a minute, luv." Spike continued his task of licking his way up Xander’s thigh, when he reached the apex, he blew cool air over the tip of the rapidly growing erection he found there. He chuckled when his lover gasped and the cock twitched and bumped his chin.

Spike nuzzled into Xander's groin and breathed in the musky scent of his mate. He growled low in his throat, then began laving the boy’s balls with his tongue. He licked and kissed his way up to the head of his cock before swooping down on it and sucking hard. Xander arched up into his mouth and screamed.

When Spike released his flesh, Xander was panting and extremely aroused. "Holy fuck! Damn near made that the shortest blowjob in history." He shook his head to get the sweat out of his eyes and looked at the smug, satisfied look on Spike's face. He watched somewhat warily as Spike got that evil glint in his eye, the one that usually meant trouble for him.

Spike tugged on Xander’s hands and sat him up on the bench - back against the wall. He then used his superior speed to seat himself on Xander's lap - impaling himself on his lover's thick shaft in the process. He leaned back against the broad chest and listened as his mate panted harshly in his ear.

"You alright, luv?" Spike rolled his hips and chuckled as Xander jerked beneath him.

"Stop. Gonna cum if you move again. Shit, how... " Xander was walking the razor’s edge; he was so close to orgasm that it wasn't funny. All it would take was one movement to send him over the edge.

Spike petted Xander gently to calm him down. He didn't want this to be over before it had started. He had been wanting to do this all week, so much so that as soon as he saw Xander enter the sauna he went and prepared himself to save time. Plus it was always fun surprising his boy. "I wanted to surprise you, Xan. Do you like?"

"Mmmm, yeah. I like, I like very much." Xander peppered kisses all over the blonde's shoulders and neck. He ran his hands through Spike's hair and then used it to tug the vamp’s face to his for a kiss. "I think it's safe to move now."

No sooner were the words spoken then Spike slowly began to roll his hips again. He wasn't looking for fast and hard; no he wanted a long, slow fuck. And he was determined to get his way. Every time Xander tried to up the pace or the pressure, Spike would simply stop moving and tighten himself around his lover until Xander gave in to his demands.

"Slow love, I want this to last." Xander nodded his understanding and let Spike move the way he wanted to. Any way with his lover was good, - slow, fast, gentle, hard. It didn't matter as long as they were in it together. As Spike tilted his head back to rest on Xander's shoulder, he sighed in pleasure. Then as Xander nudged his head to the side and began trailing light kisses and nips along the column of his throat he let out a rumbling purr.

Xander grinned into Spike's neck; he loved it when he made the vampire purr. The only thing better was when he made him growl. That in mind, Xander sank his teeth into Spike's neck and bit down hard.

Spike faltered in his slow up-and-down movements and howled. His boy had bitten him - and drawn blood. He turned his head and saw the crimson-stained mouth and growled before taking it in an aggressive kiss.

Xander tore his mouth away after a minute or so to breathe. He used Spike's state of distraction to his advantage - knocking them both to the floor, Spike on all fours and Xander still inside him. He thrust forward once, hard and fast. Spike growled and pushed back. Xander needed no further encouragement. He slammed into his lover over and over, and as his orgasm threatened to overtake him he wrapped one fist around his lover’s steely cock and tugged fiercely.

Spike came with a howl; he tasted his own blood in his mouth from where he'd bitten through his lip. Seconds later he felt the warm rush of Xander's seed flood his body as his mate’s teeth found his neck once more.

Xander slipped free of Spike's body and slumped to the floor. He panted harshly and closed his eyes. That had been good. Very good. He felt Spike drape himself over his chest and he lazily wrapped his arms around him and pressed a sloppy kiss to his head.

"You cheated." Spike tried for indignant, but the tone sounded more like a cross between amused and proud. Yeah, he had wanted slow and gentle - but only until he wanted hard and fast. His boy knew that biting always put him on edge. He was proud of him for being a sneaky bastard; he was a demon after all.

"Yep." Xander didn't sound the least bit sorry about it either. "Was good though, eh?" He chuckled at the throaty growl he got in reply.

"We need to get you out of here before you pass out, Xan." Spike stood and pulled Xander to his feet. "Come on luv, I'll take you down and toss you in the river, ought ta perk you right up."

"Uh uh. The Swedish bikini team couldn't perk me up right now. Ow!" Xander scowled and rubbed his ear where his lover had flicked it. "Shouldn't that have set off your chip?"

Spike just grinned. "Must make allowances for when you deserve it. Not good form to talk about scantily clad women in front of your lover, pet. Lucky for you I'm not the jealous type."

Xander laughed as Spike led him out of the sauna. "Only because there is no one here for you to be jealous of." He shook his head at his lover's indignant look.

Willow looked up when the shop door opened. She was startled to see Faith but smiled and welcomed her in anyway. It had been just over a week since she'd been in L.A. and she hadn't really expected the slayer to come to Sunnydale, even though she had issued the invite.

"Nice place. Feels real... mystical." Faith eyed the various jars and whatnot lining the shelves. She hadn't been too sure she was ready to make this trip, but from what the redhead had told her, the town needed a slayer, one who was experienced with the darker aspects but could recognise the balance. She wanted to be that slayer.

"Thanks, we like it. It pays the bills, and hey, I never run out of spell ingredients!" Willow scrunched up her nose in thought. "Well, at least when I remember to place the orders on time." She grimaced as she remembered coming back from L.A. a week ago only to find out that they were short a few key ingredients that they should have had on hand. She had almost yelled at Tara in her frustrated state until she remembered that it was she who was supposed to have sent in the order.

"Oh, yeah, I wondered about that. You know, whether you had done the spell to get Xander and Blondie back yet." She picked up one of the books and began flipping through thees. es. She looked up at Willow and grinned. "Wood nymphs, huh?"

Willow blushed and took the book. "I ordered it for the spells." Faith winked at her and smiled. Willow frowned at her but then shrugged her shoulders. "I'm not saying I didn't look at the pictures, just that they weren't the reason I ordered the book."

Getting right to business, Faith asked, "So, where does this Trisha usually patrol? Thought I might check her out tonight, be all covert-y."

Willow frowned. "I'm not sure. She seems to just sort of pop up. But I can locate her for you when the sun sets." Faith nodded and headed for the door. Willow stopped her before she left. "Where are you going?"

"Just thought I'd walk around a bit, take in the sights. See what's changed, you know? Maybe get a room." Faith looked a bit uneasy and unsure of herself.

"Okay, will you come back later? You could... you could stay with Tara and me. There's a spare room." Willow smiled reassuringly. She wanted to give Faith a chance to prove herself; extending an invitation just seemed like the right thing to do.

"You sure? I won't be putting you out?" Faith looked Willow over, searching for any signs of mistrust or hostility. She didn't find any, so she relaxed.

"Not at all. We'd be glad to have you." Willow nodded enthusiastically. "So will you stay?"

"Sure Red, I'll be back here in a couple hours." Faith walked out into the sunny afternoon and felt better than she had in ages. She made her way to Buffy's grave and took a minute to clear the leaves from the headstone.

"Hey, B. You have good friends, you know. I hope you've found peace, God knows you deserve it. I just wanted to tell you that I'll take real good care of your family for you. Willow, man, she's something. Forgave me straight off; I hope Xander will. He's gonna be a tough sell, though… I hope you believe that I've changed; I have. I'm gonna make you proud, B. I will." Faith wiped the lone tear from her face and walked away.
