Chapter 17

Waking in his arms was a relief. Buffy was sure that it had all been a dream, a bad horrid dream. She leaned on one elbow and watched as he slept on. The burn was almost healed and his porcelain skin was looking smooth and almost perfect. Buffy smiled as she thought of what he had done. He had search for a way to be more than just a vampire, he now had a soul and a heart beat. Sure, she knew that his jealousy of Angel had spurred him on, but it was his fear of losing her that had ultimately pushed him to do the impossible. Later, she would ask him why he had asked for this specifically and not just asked to be human. For now she was content to have his now warm arms around her while he slept.


Dawn ran down the stairs, passing Willow and went into the kitchen. Giles sat at the island eating toast and drinking his first cup of tea of the morning. Dawn grabbed the last slice off his plate, taking a bite and mumbling "thanks" before she picked up her bag that sat by the front door, and headed off for school. Giles sat staring at the door as it slammed and then turned his gaze to the empty plate before him. Sighing he put the plate in the sink and drank the rest of his tea. Willow walked into the kitchen .

"No Buffy this morning?"
"No, not yet.I haven't seen her since she left abruptly last night"
"I'm sure she's fine Giles, bet her and Spike just wanted some alone time"
"Yes, yes, I'm sure that is all"

Willow smiled at Giles and ate her breakfast .She knew something had happened to Spike, Buffy had asked for blood to be there for when she got back with him, why would they need that if Spike was okay?

Spike groaned and opened his eyes and then smiled as they met with hers.Buffy returned the smile and kissed him gently. He pulled her to him and wrapped his arms around her waist and held her to his body, deepening the kiss . Their need for each other deepened and arms struggled to remove the few items that she was wearing. He rolled her onto her back and nibbled and kissed his way along her jaw and then to her neck. He licked at his mark, causing her breath to hitch in her throat. She felt him smile against her and continued his path to her breasts. His fingers plucked and teased at a nipple while his tongue and teeth worried the other. His hot tongue circled one nipple and then the other, his greed to taste them both spurring him on. He nipped at them and looked up at her.

"You're so bloody gorgeous"

He moved his mouth down again, nipping at her stomach, his teeth scraping her flesh, Buffy moaned and jerked up towards him, the sensations built within her,making her gasp. His hands trailed down her body, slipping beneath the edge of her dampened thong. His fingers pushed inside her body, finding places she’d never even known existed. Buffy moaned, writhing under his expert touch, her body already hurtling towards orgasm.

“Fuck, you’re so hot,” he groaned, pushing his fingers in deeper, his thumb stealing up to rub her needy clit. “You’re like liquid fire.”

Buffy gasped, her hips moving in time with his hand, her body pulsing and begging for more.

"Got to taste you"

Buffy bucked as his tongue pressed against her swollen nub , his fingers continued to glide in and out of her core. His tongue curled and lapped at her, taking her to heights she'd never felt before.Her hands grasped at his shoulders and found their way into his curls. He smiled as she tightened her grip , panting and moaning as he tended to her clit again. His fingers curled and hit the zone inside her that he knew sent her over the edge. Her screams echoed through the crypt and her thighs tightened around his neck . He lapped at her soaked pussy, savoring her essence until Buffy returned to him. Her legs relaxed their hold on him and he kissed his way back up her body . Now settled between her thighs, he nudged at her entrance, wanting to plunge into her depths and make love to her slowly.

" I need you inside me Spike, please, fuck me baby "

"I'll make it so good pet, make you feel it all , so much "

He eased himself into her slowly, making her growl at the pace he set. Buffy twisted her groin as he moved back inside her, he sucked air in over his teeth in an effort to stop himself from pounding her into the mattress. The minx was making it hard to control himself.

" That's it, fuck me back Buffy "

His pace increased as she lifted herself up to meet his thrusts, slamming him deeper and harder into her core. His hand found her clit and he rubbed at the hard nub, making Buffy cry out her release. Her pussy clamped down on him and pulsed, pulling him over , he shot his cold seed into her. His arms gave way and he shook all over. Never before had he experienced anything like it. He rested his head on her shoulder, taking in ragged breaths , as did Buffy.

He lifted his head from her neck and kissed his mark before he looked into her eyes. He brushed her hair away from her face and kissed her softly .

"It's never felt like that before , so good, so perfect. You're a bloody goddess in my eyes baby "

" I love you, Spike, so much"

"I love you too pet and I'm sorry ..... for what I did to you ... before I"

"Shhh" she put a finger to his lips and silenced him with a gentle kiss. "It doesn't matter baby , it's over and done with, let's not speak about it again."

"But I hurt you" tears spilled down his cheeks "I hurt you ,I swore I wouldn't do that"

"I'm okay, I won't lie , you hurt me but things were tense and with everything that had happened I should have expected something to happen.I messed up everything when I went through the portal. I just didn't think "

"I was angry, I won't lie pet , but I gained so much and honestly I wouldn't change a thing now"

"And you're part human now too. Hows that feel?"

Spike laid beside Buffy now, he missed the contact already and pulled her closer to him and kissed her . Buffy placed a hand above his heart and one on his hip.

"I feel amazing , I can still feel the demon in me but it's different. Before ,I could feel it's anger ,it's need for destruction and the need to kill. Now? I can feel a contentment I never thought I'd find. "

"Can you still change?"

He shrugged, "Don't know, haven't tried" He saw the look on Buffys face and he smiled before he let his demon take over.

" You're beautiful" she whispered as her hands wandered over the soft ridges that formed over his eyes . Her eyes met his again, the emerald green hue amazed her , as did his lack of fangs. "You have tiny fangs"

Spike ran his tongue over his teeth "All the better to eat you with " he rolled her over and nipped at her neck, causing Buffy to giggle .

" Stop ! Stop it ....."
"Hmmm , don't want to"
"We have to go home, Dawn will be worried, so will the others"

Spike raised his head up from her neck and smiled.

"Home. I like the sound of that pet"

Buffy met his gaze and smiled "So do I " she placed her hand against his cheek softly and held his gaze as he captured her lips in a heated kiss.

He entered her without breaking the kiss, their mutual gasps as he entered her being the only sound. He moved slowly , not wanting to rush this . Spike felt complete now, whole, something he hadn't felt in so long. A tear fell , Buffy saw it and frowned.

"Hey, what's the matter baby?"
"S'nothing , I'm just. I never felt this way before an' I'm so bloody happy. Being with you, inside you Buffy. Feels so good, like heaven pet"

"I'm right there with you Spike, I'm with you"

He buried his head back into her neck and increased his pace.Buffy bucked under him, hissing at the friction it caused on her swollen clit. Her actions forced his cock in deeper which made Spike hiss and rear up from her shoulder. He pulled back slowly and slammed back into her harder.

"Yes " she whispered "That's it, harder" she gasped

Spike felt his control slipping as she laid beneath him writhing and whispering her needs . He felt her tighten around his shaft and knew his release was close, as was Buffys. He growled and thrust into her harder and faster, rubbing at her clit until she came undone.He came with her, holding her tight to his body as he emptied himself in her.

They both laid panting afterwards and held each other. No words were spoken, Buffy kissed Spikes chest and curled around him as he rolled onto his back. She yawned and closed her eyes.

"Sleep now love, we'll go and see everyone later. "

He pulled her closer, her moan bought a smile to his face that stayed until he too, fell asleep.

Buffy woke only a few hours later. She sat up and wished that she hadn't. She felt hot and yet a cold sweat coated her skin. She felt the nausea build and got out of bed. Buffy went into the tunnel where Spike had fitted a make shift shower and threw up. She ran the cold water and stepped under it .

Spike came into the 'bathroom' and rubbed her back as she leant against the wall .

" What bought this on pet?"

Buffys eyes met his and she shrugged "No idea but I feel bad, maybe I ate something or have flu"

Spike took in her scent and frowned "You don't smell as though you're sickening for something love.We'll get you back to Giles' and see what he says"

"No, no look I'll be fine, I probably just need more sleep. I think the weird trial thing has got me all out of sync. Don't worry so much"

Spike held out a fresh towel for her and he rubbed at her arms to warm her back up after her cold shower.

"Okay pet, if you say so, but go and get your arse back in bed and I'll fetch you a bottle of water. "

Buffy nodded and climbed into bed while Spike went up into the crypt to fetch her drink. Buffy closed her eyes and sighed. A few more hours sleep and she'd feel better . Her slayer constitution would kick in and cure her of whatever was wrong. Spike held out the bottle of water and she sipped at it slowly before handing it back.

"Go to sleep if you can, slayer , I'll be back in a bit "
"Where are you going?"

He stroked her hair before he answered "Some beasty is making itself known out there.Thought I'd go and get in a spot of violence before I come back and take care of my girl"

He shrugged on his coat and put a few stakes in his pocket, Spike then opened his weapons chest and picked out a sword. He pecked Buffy on the cheek and then headed back out into the grave yard to confront the demon. He rushed out of the crypt ,eager for the hunt and kill.


He spotted the demon ahead and stealthily crept up until he was within a few yards of it. He stood up and saw that there was at least ten of them. He cursed under his breath for leaving Buffy in bed and for coming out alone. He looked behind him and turned to go back and get her.

The lead demon grunted and spoke something in his demon tongue. All of the demons gurgled something back and all eyes shot to where Spike was hidden. Spike watched as they all raised their heads and gargled something to the sky.

"Bollocks"

Spike took off , running towards the crypt as fast as he could, hoping that the demons were slower than he was.

Buffy woke just a short time after she had initially fallen asleep. An unsettling feeling had forced her to wake up and instinctively,she knew it was Spike.He needed her. She pulled on her clothes as she walked to the ladder and ran out into the cemetery.Sounds of a fight came from behind the adjacent crypt.

She ran behind the crypt just as three demons were thrown off of Spike .He launched himself at them and beheaded one with the sword.

"I can't leave you for ten minutes without you finding trouble ,can I?" Buffy said as she broke the neck of the demon that had attacked her. She threw a punch at the next and looked Spikes way.

"Less talk , more bloodshed" he answered as he forced the sword through another demon. Six remained and the odds were getting better.Buffy ducked under a fist and kicked at the gut of her opponent, as it doubled over, she grasped at it's head and decapitated it, getting covered in slime for her effort. Buffy tossed the head and wiped the gloop off her hands, staining her jeans with it. Another demon charged at her and took her down to the grass, covering her with it's body.It bent down and sniffed at her .It wailed at the others and crawled off her .The demon backed off slowly , never turning their backs to Spike or Buffy.

Spike held out his hand and helped Buffy back to her feet , keeping his eyes on the retreating demon.

"That wasn't very nice" Buffy said as she brushed the loose grass and more goo from her clothes , "I mean it's not like I smell bad is it?" She leaned her head to the side for Spike to smell her, there was no time as they were once again attacked.

A demon advanced on her as two kept Spike busy. Buffy smirked confidently, one wasn't a match fo her, she had already killed two with ease. It stopped before her and it growled and it's teeth clattered out something resembling a language. Buffy shrugged " Sorry but I don't understand you , but here's something you guys do understand" . Buffy kicked him onto his back and leaped onto his front, taking it's head in her hands and twisting until it popped.

Buffy rolled from the dead demon and held her hand to her head and fought off the urge to vomit again. Whatever this was, it wasn't flu, of that she was sure. She had no temperature and had been fine a moment ago. Buffy got onto her hands and knee's and felt the ground spin and come up to meet her. Spike killed the last demon and rushed to her side. He picked her up and ran across the cometary and towards Revello drive.

"C'mon love, wake up for me " he whispered to her as he crossed the front lawn.He reached the door and kicked it hard enough to get the attention of anyone home.Giles opened the door , rubbing his tired eyes and watched blurringly as Spike rushed in and laid Buffy on the couch.Giles slammed the front door shut and stood just inside the lounge doors .

"What the hell is going on Spike? What have you done to Buffy?" he tried to force the vampire away from his charge as he spoke.

"Nothing... nothing , she was feeling rough earlier and then we got into this fight with some demons, next thing I know is Buffy ended up like this"

"Was she injured ?" Giles asked , Spike immediately shaking his head "I suggest we get a Dr out to check her over , just in case "

Giles got up and went into the kitchen to make the call, hoping that there was nothing significantly wrong. After the Dr had agreed to come out , Giles returned to the lounge. His gaze fell again, to the Spike, now holding Buffy in his arms, her head on his chest. His hands tangled in her hair and his head rested against her neck. Spikes sobs were quiet, but Giles heard them.

Giles softened, he huffed as he walked over and sat on the couch close to Spike and rested his hand on Buffys knee.

"Spike I need you to tell me if there is any sign of illness or distress to Buffys body.As a vampire you can sense these things, yes?"

Spike nodded and looked up , tears still rolling down his cheeks "There's nothing Rupes, no telltale scents or raise in her heart rate or temperature, she reckoned she had food poisoning though"

"Food poisoning doesn't render a person unconscious unless it is severe, in which case you would sense it" Giles snatched his glasses off and threw them onto the coffee table.

The silence between the two men was growing uncomfortable , both hoping the Dr would hurry up and get there. Tension grew and Giles leapt up as he heard the soft knock at the door.He let the Dr in and ushered him into the lounge. Spike looked up and laid Buffy down as the Dr knelt beside the couch, he opened his bag up and took out his stethoscope . Spike ran his hands through his hair and made his way to the back door,pulling out his cigs and lighter. He inhaled deeply as he heard the Dr and Giles talk quietly. Giles answered the Dr's questions as truthfully he could.

The Dr listened to Buffys heart and then each of her lungs, happy that they seemed normal , he put the stethoscope away and then retrieved a small green box. The Dr opened it and prepared a syringe .

"Does she do any drugs or have any other complaints that I should be made aware of?"
"No, Buffy has never taken anything"
"Is there a chance she may be pregnant?"

Giles snorted "No, no chance , her partner is ..um.... infertile"
Spike shook his head, stupid git.

The Dr applied the tourniquet and then drew off two vials of blood , he labeled them and put them in the bag along with the green box.
After he had finished doing all the standard tests, he stood and picked up his bag.Spike returned and stood waiting for the Dr's diagnosis.

"I think it best that Buffy be bought to the hospital.I can't find anything wrong, nothing that would cause her to be unconscious. Hospital is probably the best place.We can do scans on her and see if we can't pin down the problem"

He smiled wearily at Giles and Spike before shaking their hands and making his way to the door. He said his goodbyes and left. Giles shut the door and looked at Buffy.

"There is only three hours until daylight, do you want to stay here , let the others know where she is?"
"I'm coming, where she goes, I go watcher, leave a note for Red "

Giles knew it would be a futile effort to try and dissuade Spike. The vampire had a stubborn streak that he couldn't break.Spike picked up Buffy and stood before Giles.

"Well, get the soddin' door will you?" Giles snapped out of daze and opened the door, closing it after Spike and then running to open the car door. Spike got in the back of the car, never letting go of his love.He tossed the car keys to Giles, and laid his head back against the seat. He looked down at Buffy and silently prayed that she would be okay.
