Still....

William still shocked by Lizzie’s actions stood there with his arms hanging limply at his side. Suddenly his brain kicked in.

Lizzie was kissing him.

Soft, beautiful Lizzie.

Regaining his sense he grabbed her by her arms and begun kissing her back.

Lizzie felt as he tensed up. She relented her passionate attack and pulled back.

She gulped hard and looked up at him. Reaching out to touch his face.

William pushed away from her. His eyes cold.

“Don’t.” William said turning around.

“I don’t need your bleeding sympathy.” William said softly.

Lizzie turned him back around.

“You think I kissed you because I felt sorry for you?” Lizzie asked angrily.

“I think, I think you miss Spike. I think I have always been there for you. I know you feel grateful. I know you’re lonely and scared. I won’t take advantage of that and I won’t let you feel guilty about it later.” William said.

Lizzie looked at William trying to absorb his words.

“You think I feel all that? How can you go from saying all the right things to thinking all the damn wrong ones?!” Lizzie yelled.

“Lizzie look forget it. It’s been a long night. I should head home.” William said.

William turned around he heard Lizzie mumble something.

“Coward.”

Anger began to course through William.

“Oh that’s rich coming from you!” He spat.

Lizzie flinched wounded by his words.

William gasped.

“Lizzie, I didn’t mean that.” He said.

“Yes you did. And you’re right I was a coward.” She whispered.

Lizzie looked up at the sky.

“It was a cowardly thing to have done. But I felt so much pain and guilt.” Lizzie confessed.

William closed his eyes.

“Because you betrayed Spike with me.” William replied.

Lizzie eyes got as wide as saucers. In two strides she was at William her hands holding his face she kissed his forehead and whispered

“God no, William. Not for that. That night it meant everything to me. I was so scared I felt so lost. If you hadn’t been there. If you didn’t give me your strength..”

“I didn’t Lizzie. I let you down. Y..you tried to kill yourself. You did. How could you say I gave you anything when I took everything away from you?” William said staring into her eyes.

“I help make you a monster because I was selfish. I couldn’t live in the world without you in it. I help make you this. Then all that time I would see you and you wouldn’t really be there only glimpses every once and awhile. I was convinced that was my punishment.” William explained.

Lizzie stroked his cheek.

“But this, this is my punishment you here like this. Holding me feeling like you owe me something. I can’t take this.” William said.

Lizzie pulled away furious again.

“I don’t owe you this. I don‘t owe you a god damn thing!” Lizzie yelled.

William looked at her shock.

“I don’t owe you Will. I give you things. My loyalty, my trust, my friendship. That night, that night I gave you my love. I told you that night I was there with you not Spike. Not because I was in so much pain but because I wanted you.” Lizzie said softly.

“Then why Lizzie? Why did you do it?” William asked.

Lizzie closed her eyes.

“Because, I didn’t deserve to go on. I let everyone down. I knew if I was around I would destroy everything that was left. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t do that to you, Dawn and Giles. Not after what I did.” Lizzie whispered.

“Lizzie, talk to me.” William pleaded.

“Not now William.” Lizzie said.

“You keep saying that! When then?!” William yelled.

Lizzie turned around throwing her hand up in the air as if she was dismissing William.

“Go home Will. Maybe you’ll screw up a few more thoughts in your head before you get there.” Lizzie spat out walking to her crypt.

She got opened the crypt door only to be shoved in.

“Don’t walk away from me!” William screamed.

He slammed the door shut and pushed her against the wall.

“Don’t walk away from me! Don’t leave me!” He said his voice cracking.

Lizzie knew it wasn’t anger it was fear. Fear that she would disappear again.

“William I won’t ever again.” Lizzie she whispered.

William grabbed her by the shoulders. The neurons in his brains misfired left and right. He didn't know which emotions to give into first his anger, his fear or his confusion.

Suddenly the strongest emotions of all took over as it always did, his love for the woman standing in front of him. He squeezed her shoulders tight, pulling her towards him. He lowered his mouth to hers, capturing her lips is sweet soft kiss.

The fear and tension melted away, allowing in his passion to break through. His hands pressed against the crypt wall above her head while her pressed his body into hers. His eager tongue danced on her lips before he demanded entry into her mouth.

Lizzie kissed him back as her body pressed into the wall to support their weight. She hungrily accepted his mouth clutching at his arms then moving up to grip his shoulders. Grapping the sides of his jacket she shoved it off his shoulders. William pulled it off the rest of the way then quickly removed her leather trench. They looked into each other eyes. He wanted to resume the kiss but Lizzie stopped him. He questioned her actions. However the look of desire in her eyes answered any doubt that was running through his mind. He wanted her.

Lizzie's heaving in want pulled William by the back of his neck to her chest. He licked across the soft flesh. He squeezed them while licking up the sides of her neck. His mouth found hers again but only for a moment.

Lizzie pulled William's shirt over his head, breaking their kiss. He hand roamed his back absorbing his warmth into her cool flesh. She gasped from the contact and rewarding his mouth with another hungry kiss. His fingers tugged on the front tugged on the front clasp of her bra. He pushed it off her shoulders and took one pink cool nipple at a time into his mouth.

He kissed down her stomach, unbuttoning her leather pants. He pushed them down her pale toned legs coming face to face with her center. Her scent filled his senses and he hardened on sight. He kissed her center, lifting her leg over his shoulder. Lizzie moaned her eyes closed.

The moaning was William's undoing. He sucked on her clit then pressed his tongue firmly against her folds. Lizzie's hand rooted itself to the back if his head, keeping him centered. More moans escaped her lips. William was making her come.

Lizzie struggled to keep her demon in check while the orgasm filtered into her limps. Lust had overtaken her. She pushed him to the floor unable to control her strength as she tore the button from his jeans pulling them down in one swift swoop along with his boxer briefs.

Her handling of him turned William on. His head tilted back in pleasure when she lowered herself onto him. He gripped her hips as she ground him into oblivion. His eyes squeezed shut and he grunted from every grinding gyration of her hips.

Lizzie covered her mouth with his, tasting herself on lips and tongue. The kiss was hard and demanding. Her eyes flickered yellow but she kept the her demon in check. Feeling another orgasm building she quickened the pace, lifting herself but leaning just enough to grip his shoulders so the head of him hit her soft spot.

William's vocal chords betrayed him. Lizzie was sending him into pure bliss. He wanted to draw out the moment but her hips moved in demand of his release. He released inside her, pulsating every drop of his love and desire for her. Lizzie squealed in delight, feeling his life coat her insides. She climaxed calling out his name before she fell forward, panting for unneeded air.

William pushed Lizzie up into the sitting position trying to steady his breathing.

Tears filled Lizzie’s eyes.

“Don’t ever think Will that I don’t love you. I always have. I always will.” Lizzie whispered.

William stroked her cheek trying to make sense of it all. Nothing made sense to him anymore but here with Lizzie pressed into him all of the chaos do not seem to matter. She was sitting in his arms.

Lizzie wrapped her arms around him slumping into his chest.

“I love you Lizzie. I always have. I love you still.”

His last word haunted her....still.

Would he still love her if he knew?

He needed answers, she knew this. How could she explain it all to him? Where could she even begin?

She loved him.

She loved Spike.

Same but different.

How would William react?

Lizzie closed her eyes savoring the moment knowing time was against her.

Sooner or later she would have to reveal her own secrets......
